President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham. Two resolutions direct

but no action was taken upon them
President TAFT, however, at the re-
quest of Representative Berger asked
Attorney General Wickersham to
learn if any federal laws had bee
violated by the local authorities who
prevented the removal of children
from the strike ridden district. The
attorney general instructed United
States Attorney French at Boston to
investigate.
Both houses of congress rang with
speeches. Senator Bailey quoted Sena-

Massachusetts similar to those in the

TO Take Over Express Business.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Gard
ner, Of Maine, introduced bill under
which the government would take
ever the properties of express com
panies and operate them as a part Of
the postal service extending the sery-.
ice to the rural delivery. The meas.
ule indicates the probable cost Of TAX
ing. over the properties as follows:
Real property, S14,932,169 equip
ment, 1881 ,405; materials and sup
plies, s13S,210; advance payments on
contracts, $5,S36, 66e; franchises, good

While the balance sheets of the COM
pany show other assets Of nearly
O,0O0,000, Senator Gardner argues
that these are not devoted to express
service and that this property might
be retained by the corporations with
out impairing it's value.
1t is proposed that rates charged for
express service under the government
shall be based upon weight and length
of haul, rather than upon the system
in effect for the carrying Of mail.
While the bill introduced does not
fix rates, Senator Gardner offers fig
ures showing that express charges in
this country are now sixteen times
freight charges, and indicating that I'M
der the postal system this ratio could
be reduced to about five and one-half
and, at the same time, express bust
ness would be extended to the entire
country.

to his consideration OF the Judge. he
sensed something OF that intellectual
nimbleness which his patrons physical
makeup In nowise suggested, since
his face was a mask that usually left
one In doubt as to just how much OF
what he heard succeeded in making
its impression on him; but the boy
knew that Slocum Prices blind side

hearing It," answered Hannibal. He
had scarcely spoken when they
caught the rattle Of wheels and the
beat OF hoofs. These sounds swept
nearer and nearer, and the darkness
disgorged the Belle Plain team and
carriage.
"George!" cried Betty, world OF
relief In her tones.
whoa, you!" and George reined in
his horses with a jerk. who's darY'

Betty.

The carriage swung forward for per-

the horses came to dead stop.

and struck them with his whip, but
the horses only reared and plunged,
Hold on, nigger!" said rough
voice out OF the darkness.

gasped. Don yo' know dis de Belle

Two men stepped to the side OF the
carriage.
"Show your light, Bunker" said the
same rough voice that had spoken be-
fore. Instantly a hooded lantern was
uncovered, and Hannibal uttered a cry
OF terror. He was looking into the
face of Slosson, the tavern-keeper.

the black fabric OF her dress.
Don't you be scared. Miss Bettyl"
said Hannibal.
They went silently from the house
and again crossed the lawn to the ter
race. Under the leafy arch which can
opied them there was already the
deep purple OF twilight.
DO you reckon It were Captain
Murrell shot Mr.. Norton, Miss Bet
ty?" asked Hannibal In a shuddering
whisper.
"Hush-Oh, hush, Hannibal II IS
too awful TO even speak Of" and,
sobbing and half hysterical, she Gov
cred her face with her hands.
But where are we going, Miss
Betty?" asked the boy.
Il don't know, dear!" She had an
agonizing sense OF the nights ap-
proach and Of her own utter helpless
ness.
IN tell you what, Miss Betty, let's
go to the Judge and Mr.. Mahany!"
said Hannibal.
Judge Price?" She had not thought
OF him as a possible protector.
why, Miss Betty, amt told you
he amt afraid OF nothing? We could
walk to Raleigh easy If you don't want
your niggers to hook up a team for
you"
Betty suddenly remembered the car
riage which had taken the Judge into
town; she was sure II had not yet re-
turned.
I'VE will 20 to the Judge, Hannibal!
George, who drove him into Raleigh,
has not come back; II we hurry we
may meet him on the road"
Screened by the thick shadows,
they passed up the path that edged
the bayou; at tie head OF the inlet
they entered clearing, and crossing
this they came to the corn.field which
lay between the house and the high
road. Following one OF the shock
rows they hurried to the mouth OF the
lane.
Hannibal, | don't want to tell the
why dlu leaving bSllo ldlu
about the woman, | mean," said
Betty.
You reckon they'd kill her. don't
you, Miss Betty, II they knew what
she'd done?" speculated the boy. 1t
occurred to him that an adequate ex-
planation OF their flight would require
preparation, since the judge was at
all times singularly alive to the slight
est discrepancy of statement. They
had issued from the corn-tield and
went along the road toward Raleigh
Suddenly Betty paused.
"Harii" she whispered.
1T were nothing Miss Betty" said
Hannibal reassuringly, and they hur-
ried forward again. In the utter still
ness through which they moved Betty
heard the beating OF her own heart,
and the soft and all but inaudible pat
ter OF the boys bare feet on the warm
dust Of the road. Vague forms that
resolved themselves into trees and
bushes seemed to creep toward them
out OF the nights black uncertainty.
Once more Betty paused
