 LITTLE PROFIT

DENVER. Oct. L.. How would you like 10 own a railroad at an eX- pense Of $l5,ooo or so a year and do d freight business of SlJ year? A whole year. remember. And pass eneer business of S4 49u in whole year?
 Well that is what the owners Of the Colorado Eastern are doing Ra- fael R. Goyin. general manager, whose business address. by the by is T. Wall street, sent in the roads annual report recently to John w. Flintham, secretary of the Colorado state railroad commission.
 M A Gallagher better known as Happy" former secretary of the state commercial association. once described the Colorado Eastern as "streaks of rust running from Den Ver-or. 10 be more specific, Elyria ito the used-tobe town of Scran- ton"
 It is the proud owner of one To- comotive, one passenger coach. one freight (boX) car and one flat car It operates one train every day 10 Scranton and return. Not because money is put in the company's cot- fers by so doing, but because the skipped day means that the Color ado Eastern franchise becomes null and void For some day. 'tis said. the official hopes to separate them selves from the V hole business, one locomotive, one freight car, franchise and all at neat profit over all deficits to date
 If the Rock Island, which com Limon over the Union Pacific tracks, ever decides to build it's own Limon- Denver line. nothing would be more convenient than for it to have the Colorado Eastern. There are those who hint that the Rock Island now owns the road. But be that as it IidN, II IS all open secret that tllt Rock Island is not the only trunk line that could use the Colorado Eastern to advantage.

Miss Gregory. "Here-lift your wife
up and give her to me. I'll take her
to the barn there, and you come be-

Gregory, unless you'd prefer to have

threats strangled in his throat But the
threat stirred him, and he carried his
lantern to the door of the barn. and

his heavy eyebrows like frantic ape,
while they laid the woman to rest on
a pile Of fragrant hay She sank upon
it with slow sigh of surrender to
her utter weakness, and closed her
eyes.

There's one three miles from ere.

He indicated the malevolent figure
of Gruden in the great door.
"Well, what about him." demanded
Miss Gregory.
