that at least a few of the dancing

An old song says:
If thy sweetheart hath a dimpIe on
each cheek,
Beware-take care!
For it's certain to deceive thee she
will seek
Beware-take care!
If thy sweetheart hath a dimple on
her arm,
Beware-take care!
For the power is hers to freak thy
heart a harm
Beware-take care!
But if her chin a dimp1e holds en-
shrined
Rejoice! rejoice!
For sure it is her heart is true and
kind,
Rejoice! rejoice!
The song is Irish. I think. At any
rate, it sounds Irish to me- This mer-
CHESS condemnation of a pretty girl
merely because she happens to have
grown her dimples on her cheeks or
elbows is quite Celtic
But tradition has always designa ted
the woman with a dimpled chin as
sincere and trustworthy. am not
advising anybody to put their undi-
vfded trust in this. 1t is merely ira
dition. The next time you read some
of the older nove1ists, however, such
as Scott, Thackeray, Snaollett, Carleton,
and Collins, notice how many of their
heroines have dimpled chins.
The chin here illustrated is almost
what is called Cleft chin The
cleft chin is supposed to denote great
perseverance, sometimes stubbornness,
intelligence and a sense of humor.

of it. notice dtmples and the relative

CHAPTER II.
THE BOSS.

THE BOSS.
RN private dining room in the IN
termountain hotel, whose en-
III trance portico faces the capitol
grounds in the chief city of the
Sagebrush State, two men were finish
ing dinner.
On the guest book of the Inter
mountain one of the men had regis
tered from Chicago. The name was
illegible to the cursory eye, but since
it was the signature of an empire
builder it was sufficiently well known
in all the vast region served by the
TranscontnentaI railway system
Theaowner of the name had finished
his ice and was sitting back to clip the
end from a very long and very black
cigar. He was a man past middle
age. large framed and heavy, with the
square. resolute face of born master
of circumstances.
Though he figured only as the first
vice president of the Transcontinental
company, Hardwick McVickar was
really the active head of its affairs and
the director of its policy.
Across the small round table sat the
railway magnate's dinner guest, a man
who was more than McVickar's match
in big boned, square shouldered ply
sique; a man whose half century was
written only in the thick grizzled hair
and heavy grazing mustaches.
'I wish L could convince you that
it isn't worth while to hold me at
arms length, senator McVickar was
saying You know as well as I do
that under the present law in this
state we are practically bankrupt.
We do losing business from the mo-
ment we cross your. state line.''
Yes; it seems to me that I have
heard something like that before"
was the noncommittaI retofnder
'fYou have heard the simple truth,
then And it is a bald injustice not
only to the railroad, but to the peo-
pie it serves. We can't give adequate
earnings
''And you are unable to convince the
members of the railroad commission ?''
asked the man whom the vice presi-
dent addressed as senator
~You know well enough that we
can't convince an anti-raflroad com
mission was the half angry retort.
yet you are still running the rail-
road" suggested the other.
Eyes; luckily the Transcontinental
system does not lie wholly within your
state boundaries. If it did we might
as well surrender our charter and go
out of business
'tAn of which has come to be pref

.urt reply.
$50 do the people of this state" as
erted the man across the table. ''You
bled us, Hardwick-b1ed US to death
while you had the chance. You arc
justly, if not legally, in debt to every
man in this state who had ever ship
ped a carload OF freight or paid pas
senger fare over your line before the
present rate law went into effect"
The vice president sat up and put
his elbows on the edge Of the table.

guest. 1--WE are all growing Older

the debt you owe us, do you?
''Do we owe you anything, Blount?"
asked the magnate pointed1y. eff we
do we are willing to pay it in spot

The big man on the other side of the
table was leaning back in his chair
with his hands in his pockets, and the
smile wrinkling at the corners Of his
eyes was half genial, half satirical.

he said "a third party might ina CINE
