That night the crash came. A rear
end collision completely wrecked the
train on which Miss Gould was travel
ing and the freight train which hit it
was demolished.
Mr.. Shepard was in one of the for
ward sleepers n his first thought
was for his charges in the private car.
Although considerably bruised and
shaker he CROPPED his way through the
twisted mass of Wreckage n when
he came to the private car he was
overjoyed to be greeted by Miss
Goul who told him that beyond
shock she was none the worse for the
mishap. Her chief concern was for
those more seriously injured about
her and when told that the brunt of
the crash had been borne by the for
ward cars she insisted upon Mr.. Shop
ard leaving her and going where he
could do the most good.
This Shepard did with alacrity, but
he was surprised to turn and find
standing at his side the woman whose
safety had been entrusted to his keep

from the track and all about them
was chaos n confusion. The groans
of the injured filled the air and the

All the world loves a lover. And
when that lover woos and wins one
of the wealthiest spinsters in the
world it is only natural that interest
In this ardent and successful wooer
SHOULD be intensified a thousand fold,
or that he should become an internal
tional figure yer night.
Such is the case of Finley J.. shep-
ard, a rising railroad man of st.
Louis, who, in an incredibly short
space OF time, won the heart, hand
and millions of Miss Helen Gould,
eldest daughter of the late. Jay Gould.
The Gould Shepard reads
like a bit of fiction and those who
have seen the newly engaged couple
together assert hat they are as vio-
lently in love with each other as the
traditional school boy and girl after
their first meeting. Miss Gould, so
far, has little to say regarding her no,
nance, but her intimates assert that
she Is just as happy as any debutante
would be after "landing2 the most de-
sirable and wary bachelor in her set.
Mr.. Shepard Is more voluble. In fact
ne just bubbles over with protesta-
lions of undying affection, to say
nothing of the good fortune that has
befallen him.
1t seems right and proper that the
daughter of the man who made his
millions in railroads, after forging the
links that formed one of the greatest
railroad systems in the world, should
meet her fate in a railroad environ
ment. Neither is it surprising, after
all interested in her believed she
would end her days in spinsterhood,
that she should exercise a woman's
prerogative and change her mind.
And then, too, after exercising her
right to change her mind, that she
should select for her future lord and
master a man who had elected the
railroad field as one in which TO ex.
ercise his talents and endeavor to
climb the ladder of promotion until
he cache the topmost rung.
Helen Gould's romance-and ro>
nance 1t Is in every essentials less
than three months old. Few know
that while the bulk of her big fortune
is invested in railroad securities, and
that George j.. Gould, her eldest
brother, is custodian of the railroad

packing under a uniform brand; prop
er local cold storage facilities. As
well as some other details which I
have not space to mention here.
The most important step hat con-
fronts the growers Of western Mon
tana today is the selection of a proper,
advertisable brand under which the
apples, cherries, plums. and other pro-
ducts can be sold.

edge of successful marketing of trade

idea for the benefit of the Of
the Bitter Root, Ilathead, and other
valleys tributary to Missoula. and
which market their fruit through the

Trade-Mark Selling Name Important.
What is wanted, and it may as well
be established now, is a name that is
attractive, appealing, and capable OF

This is not as easy as 1t may seem
to the average man. Geographical,

not susceptible Of trademark by law.
A COINED name, as 1t Is designated,
is the easiest way out of the problem.
Such a name as "Sunkist' has been
ound in practical use to be well
adapted to its purposes. There is need
ed n name of this kline that will
cover apples, cherries, plums, prunes,
and other fruits, whether grown in
the Bitter Root, Flathead, Rattle
snake, or other sections of western
Montana, and that { an might be ap-
piled to such produces as potatoes,
onions. small fruits. et,.
1t is vitally necessary to have such
a trade-marked name. One that can
be legally protected, and hat cannot
be used by shippers of cub, fruit. Fol-
the reason that all the val lie of the
name as indicating high-qualty, fancy
fruit might easily be lost if some ir-
responsible or dishonest shipper
should mark his poor produc- with
the selected name.

Mr.. Shepard was aghast when he
learned that Miss Gould had busted
herself within the cars as Industrious
ly n successfully as he had with
out. 1t was not until they compared
notes when the journey was resumed
that all this came out and hours were
spent by the two who had been so
strangely drawn together through
misfortune.
Discussing the events of that night,
on the evening her brother George
announced her engagement, Miss
Gould said:
Il think it was the mastcrful man
ner in which Mr.. Shepard essayed to

interest in him. | knew that night
that he was a man in a million, and

interests left by their father, that
Miss Gould takes a lively interest in
these affairs and frequently makes in
spection trips over the lines linked
in the Gould chain. She is a keen
observer and little escapes her eye.
When she has completed one of these
observation tours she seeks her
brother and they go over all the copi-
Gus notes she may have made en-
route. Many radical reforms intro>
duced in the Gould system within the
past decade had their inception with
the daughter of the house.
1t was on October 10 last. that Gu
pid shot the dart which speared the
hearts of Helen Gould and Finley
Shepard. Miss Gould was then on one
of her tours. Mr.. Shepard. while in
Chicago, received a telegram from his
chief. President Brush, of the Union
Pacific Railroad company, i]nstructine
him to hurry to New York and take
charge of Miss Gould's party which
was about to leave New York in a
private car via the Lake Shore road.
1t was Miss Gould's intention to pro-
coed direct to Chicago and there Join
a party of friends and attend a con-
vention of the Railroad Young Mems
Christian association, an institution
which she is not only deeply inter-
ested in but one to which she has de-
voted years of time and thousands of
dollars.
Mr.. Shepard hurried to New York
and then met Miss Gould for the first
time. He took luncheon with her
upon his arrival and then discussed
all arrangements for the tour. Mr.. e..
b. Pryor, one of the receivers of the
Wabash road, was in New York at
the tim and from him MI. Shepard
procured the loan of his private car
which was placed at Miss Gould's dis
posal.
The journey from New York to Chi
cage was begun, the private car oc-
cupied by Miss Gould being the last
on the train. AT Syracuse another
private car was added and his was
hitched to the real of Miss Gould's
car. The added car was to have been
dropped at Buffalo the next day. The
addition of this car, railroad men as
sert, in reality was responsible for
