SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS

HERNIA CHALLONER, the Madcap of the
IL story. was beautiful New York girl who had
been left immense fortune and had restraints.
She was utterly irresponsible and harurnscarum, and
grati6ed every impulse, to buying an aeroplane
and flying in it; but for all that girl of high
principles.
Naturally one of this type the antithesis OF
John Markham. artist with the soul of a true bo-
hemian, who painted only he loved to paint. and
spent his summers strolling through Normandy.
Markham had been fascinated by Olga Tcherny, a
Countess, whose only limits were her desires
Hernia piqued at Markham brusk reception
when she called at his studio but the fact that he
could be brusk with her, used to nothing but comp-
ments, aroused her curiosity that she flew over to
the island he was occupying alone. Just as she ar
rived her machine broke-and she found herself ma
rooned there for probable stay of three days
Hernia became strangely humble after Markham
had prepared her breakfast, and actually washed his
dishes and scrubbed the kitchen floor. Her friends
arrived from her summer place. and she flew home
again. whittier Markham followed in response to her
invitation.

that he still read her heart correctly and that the pact

the evidence before the commission in
 considering the lease.
 ?. That the commission found in it's
 opinion that the Southern Pacific com
 pany owns the entire capital stock of
 both these companies, and then found
 that the line of railroad of the lessor
 extending from Phoenix to Mesa was
 competitive line to that of the lessee
 between these two points, and assign
 it's approval of the lease The unity of ownership of the capital stock of these two companies by the Southern Pacific company precludes the idea of the lines of the companies between these points
 being competitive. Two lines of rail- road cannot be competitive where there is no diversity of ownership of the cap ital stock of the companies operating them
 The statement in the opinion of the commission that the lines of these two companies between Phoenix and Mesa are competitive lines, is therefore CT rOneOus and untrue and constitutes no good or sufficient reason for refusing to approve the lease
 3. That since the passage of the act of the legislature of Arizona, approved May 2S 1912, entitled An Act Relating to Public Service Corporations, Pro- vidng for the Regulation of same, Fix ing Penalties for Violation thereof, and Repeating Certain Acts" (chapter 90 Session Laws of Arizona 1912) the ser vice, facilities, rates and fares of all railroads operating wholly within the state of Arizona are subject to control and regulation by the corporation com mission of Arizona, and that the nec- eSSary and inevitable effect of this law is to abolish competition between all operating wholly within the state of Arizona, and that since the passage of said act no benefits or ad- vantages can result to the travelling and public from the operation of two points, but on the contrary, the l travelling and shipping public would l have to bear the additional expense in | cured in operating competing lines l which would result to the disadvantage | If the public. Therefore, the public in l ereSt would be best Subserved by per | hitting the operation by one company l )f lines of railroad which before the l passage of said act might have been | regarded as competitive, and that since l he passage of said act the question as | o whether the two lines of railroad of | he lessor and lessee between Phoenix | md Mesa are in any sense to be re- l 5arded as competitive is wholly imma- 1 erial in determining the adViSa bility of 1 approving the lease of the Phoenix and |

TOO SLENDER 4 CASE
 AGAINST CHAS. STUlz
Ward Sign and Paint Shop Is Found
 to Be Afire.

Within the space of about five minutes shortly before 6 o'clock yes tcrday afternoon, two alarms came to the fire department. one for blaze in the Ward paint and sign shop on North First street, between Van Buren and Polk streets, the other in response to telephone call announc- ing a fire at a number on South First avenue, which does not exist.
 When the department arrived at the First street blaze it appeared for time that there was a large fire in progress. The entire establishment was filled with smoke and it was difficult to locate the seat of the blaze. The chemical was brought into use and after hard fight tthe fire was placed under control without the adjoining property. The Eureka Water Company had an of flee in the same room and will also be loser to considerable extent.
 The hose wagon was standing ready to place stream on the blaze if it was found the chemical was made quate, when Box 8 was sounded. The wagon was hurried down South First avenue, but no fire was found.

the stock of these two companies the lease would be a good thing for the Phoenix and Eastern company, it would no doubt enable it to preserve it's property, which otherwise might be lost by default in interest payments
 The lease cOnfers upon the lessee the power to make extensions of the PhOe nix and Eastern lines with the consent of the lessor and also confers upon the lessee the power to acquire and con- struct additions and betterments with out the consent of the lessor, such ex- tensions additions and bettermentS to be subject to the terms of the lease. These provisions are as they should be. The Phoenix and Eastern cannot be in jured under the provision permitting extensions, as the lease specifically re- quireS the consent of that company be- fore such extensions can be made. The lessee to render efficient and satisfac- tory service to the public should have power and authority under this lease to make such additions and betterments as in it's Judgment may be necessary to enable it to render such efficient and satisfactory service, and the lessee should not be required to consult with the lessor upon every occasion that 1t wishes to make additions and better ments to the line of road that it oper- ateS.
 '. That the following portion of the order of the commission, l. c.
 That the Phoenix and Eastern Rail road company and the Arizona Eastern Railroad company shall on or before January l. 1914 submit to this com mission a form of proposed lease for approval, which, in it's terms, shall pro- vide for leasing only such property of the Phoenix and Eastern Railroad company as is not directly in compe- tition with the Arizona Eastern Rail- road company and that said proposed lease shall be fair and equitable in it's terms as between the parties in inter- est, is ultra wires, absolutely void and of no force and effect.
 Wherefore for the reasons above in dicated the applicants pray that re- hearing be granted as to matters de- termined by the opinion and orders adopted herein June 27, 1913, refusing approval of contract of April 12, 1913 between these applicants: that upon said hearing said opinion be withdrawn and said orders cancelled and held for naught, and that an order of the com mission be then made and entered ap proving the contract submitted in the original application herewith.

APPLICATION
 FOR REFERRING
Reasons Urged by Phoenix & Eastern and Arizona Eastern Why Corporation Commission Should Set Aside Lease Order

In making application for a rehearing in the matter of approving a contract lease of the date of April F of this year wherein the Phoenix & Eastern raid road company leases it's property to the Arizona Eastern for a term of awenty-tWo years and which approval was refused by the corporation com mission, refused on June 2, the com panies ask that the order of refusal be set aside upon the following grounds:
 | That the reasons assigned in the opinion of the commission for it's refu- sal to approve said lease are insuffi- cIent, illogical and frivolous. That some of the findings of facts contained in the opinion and upon which the orders are based are not justified or supported by

 BASEBALL AND HAY
First Meeting of Trade Board Gov ernors Since Famous Session at
 Yavapai Club in Prescott.

Baseball and hay were the chief topics of discussion at the first rneet- ing of the board of directors of Inc board of trade since it's memorable session in Prescott a week ago Fri day. Baseball came up because that is a live topic now and the board handles always live things. Hay was under discussion because the county is about to acquire an inspector of that comomdity, due in most part to the efforts of the same directorate.
 The executive committee of the baseball association made plans at it's meeting yesterday for appraising the grounds belonging to the Phoenix team. Then this afternoon at four the entire body of Phoenix Fhans will

TWO ALARMS, ONE
 REAL, OTHER FALSE
He Had No Opportunity to Use a
 Knife

Charles Stutz who was arrested and locked up on the charge Of assault ing a strike breaker on a car on July with a knife was brought before Justice Johnston yesterday for trial. StUtz denied that he had made any assault. He said that the knif- fell to the floor through a nOle in the pockets of his trousers One of the witnesses for the state, PraeSer, a member of the strike breaking force. testified that he took the knife from Stutz when the latter drew it from his pocket.
 Justice Johnstone intimated that he did not believe the story of StutZ but he said that since he had n0I had time to open the knife before it was taken from him he did not think that Q jury would be found to convicL him. He accordingly ordered his disCnarge and he was released from jail.
 A pair of iron 'knucks' figured in directly in the case. When StutZ was arrested he was taken to the police station and later the "knucks" were found concealed in the adjoining of flee of the city assessor Stutz. the police said, had been in the office but he denied any knowledge Of the "knucks." The defendant was repre- scented by Attorney Robert $. Fisher.

BUSY DRUG STORE HAS
 NOBBY ELECTRIC SIGN
Shows Soda Water Failing from Fountain Into Glass Along
 White Way"

Now Phoenix is truly metropolitan At least that was the consensus of opinion of those who last evening saw for the first time the handsome cleo
 tric sign of the Busy Drug Store. Washington street and Central ave-
 nue. From the moment that George McCIarty, the electrician. twisted the last of the wires together and gave the switch the official turn, until late at night hundreds of interested spec tatOrS "rubbered" at the latest addi- tiOn to the White Way of Phoenix, marvelIed at the possibilities of such signs and went in and got cool drink.
 The new sign shows a large soda water glass of white and blue, with a soda fountain faucet above pouring red liquid light into the glass and realistic and gives one an impression of the downtown streets n a larger city.
 By a clever clocklike attachment the individual lamps are lighted and eXtinguished at proper intervals, giv- ing the appearance of liquid acCIally pouring from the faucet % the glass and then fOaming over. The work of erecting the sign after it's arrival here was placed in the hands of George w. McClarty who put a force Of men at work at four o'clock yesterday morning in order that it might be ready to cast it's radiance over Wash ington street and Central avenue in the evening. The Busy Drug Store certainly was the point of attraction to people passing that point last eve ming.
