improvements and requirements OF
all kinds if our transportation facili-
ties are to keep pace with the ex-
pected demands, has set New York
financiers wondering as to the man
ner in which this vast sum is to be
made available. Even the most san
guine admit that it cannot come
from earnings on the basis of the
present rates and many assert that
the country will soon have to decide
between a lowering of our present
standards of advance In this field, or
some method by which the carriers
can increase their earnings. That the
whole situation Is one of wheels
within wheels has been strikingly
illustrated here by the demands of
certain employees for increases YIN
pay in the face of the fact that rail-
road earnings have shown no such
relative increase. The whole situa-
ton as seen here SINNERS down to
the endless circle which makes 1t
necessary for the railroads to earn
more II they are to spend more, and
TO spend more If they earn more.
Each by itself Is a puzzle difficult of
solution, and the savings which have
been worked by the most careful
economies are not sufficient to solve
them. The loss of something like
$50 900, 900 a year on mail trans
portation which the carriers claim

asked relief without result, AT the
same time it Is pointed out it would
pay the interest on 100000, 600.
The salient features of the tangle to
which tinanciers have as yet found
no solution are the tendency toward
the imposing of lower rates on the
one hand and the demand for expen-
sive improvements and higher wages
and prices on the other, Anyone
who can reconcile these two condi-
lions in satisfactory manner has a
lucrative job waiting for him almost
anywhere in the country.

A POOR RELATION.
French Girl Flees to America From
Unkind Relatives.

OF course, the principal thing to brag
about in our next Sunday Magazine is
that 1t contains the first installment of
the new serial. In this instance we have
been fortunate to get a charming story
by Edith Macvane, one Of the best known
magazine contributors in the country, as
well as author of Adventures of Jou-
jou," Duchess of Dreams "Tne Thor
oughbred" and 1.-The Black Flier.' Miss
Macvane has inherited her literary ability
from her father, Prof. Silas Marcus Mac
vane Of Harvard. who has written numer-
Gus authoritative works.
In "Her Word Of Honor" the novel we
are printing in seven installments, Miss
Macvane's heroine is a delightful French
girl of long name, but known among her
friends as Lii, who belongs to one OF
the most noble families of France and
England. She was sent to live with her
aunt, the Duchess Of Porthaven, in Lon
don; but the latter had six daughters OF
marriageable age, whom she was anxious
to marry off. AS Lili was a beauty. she
was not welcomed at the ducal home,
and it was decided to send her to live
with an ancient relative In the country.
Or course, the vivacious French girl
strenuously objected to this. and forth
with took 5000 francs she had inherited
from her father, and her maid GenevieVe,
and surreptitiously departed for America.
ficulties she might encounter: 1t was any
thing to get away from Imprisonment
with an unsympathetic relative. Her
only plan was4o look up former sweet
heart of her fathers. whose address had
been found in, letter written thirty
years before, and, who, she was sure,
would take her in.
One of the passengers on the liner
was Mrs. Ethelbert v. Cobb. whose
husband had left her fifty million dol
lars and a worthless son. The latter
was causing no end of trouble on ac-
count Of his alteration of a chorus girl.
She at once spotted Lili as an inmate
of the exclusive society she was SO
anxious to enter. and she evolved the
remarkable plan Of marrying him to
Lii, thereby ending all her troubles.
So Lii was thrown into the home of
this arch schemer, designed to marry
the unwilling young Victor; for OF
course. her fathers youthful sweet
heart had long since disappeared from
the old address.
with this layout it is easy to see that
an author of Miss Macvane's ability
will make a charming tale. Indeed, the
comnlications that ensue before poor
Lili finally lands her true love are most
exasneratinR to the reader. OF course,
EVERYTHING must end happily-fOr our
SUNDAY Magazine won't have any other
kind of story-but how it is to be
brought about is not for an instant
susnected till the last fnstallment. The
story of her experiences Is told by Lili
herself in the first person. which gives
II an added touch OF charm. Frank

Wilson's course:
His reply to Col. Harvey stated only
what every one in the country who pays
attention to politics knows to be fact.
Watterson himself admits the truth OF

porting him. The incident will help rath-

for Champ Clark for the democratic

view in Baltimore yesterday, in which he
said in part:
