There Was No Foul Play.


The death of Gus Veins at Trf
umph last summer was accidental,
as decided by the deputy coroner at
the time The examination of the
skull disclosed fractures of all the
bones of the skull, says The Fair
mont Sentinel Over a large area
the bones were literally crushed and
no part of the skull larger than the
palm of a mans hand was left in
tact Such injuries could not have
been caused by the loaded sock
found in Virgens' we'll, even in the
hands of man of giants strength.
There is no doubt that the man was
killed by being struck by the engine
of Northwestern train. The In
vestigation has cleared up suspi-
cions that proved to be unfounded

But I'm holding my own you bet;

There are very few who CAM,
But the family whined about it,
And insisted I wasn't man

Cement Sidewalks

The four principal requirements Of
good sidewalks are smoothness, nom
absorbant Of water, durability and
low In flrst cost. The one that comss
nearest fitting them all 10 that II
Portland cement construction.
Care must be taken In the conitruc-
ton Of . cement sidewalk and ono OF
the principal things to consider IL the
foundation. This has often been en-
tirely. neglected with the result that
the walk was soon In need Of repair.
The foundation should be Of some
material that is easily drained, and
readily and evenly packed. Broken
stones and gravel il often used bat
the best results have been obtained
by using cinders.
An excavation ten inches below the
finished surface should first be pre-
pared. In this place six inches Of
cinders eveIy packed to give an even
bearing surface for the walk. On
this 10 placed three inches Of concrete
with an additional inch Of cement
covering for wearing surface. The
foundation should b thoroughly vet
before applying the concrete. II the
base IL allowed TO set before the top
cost 10 put on 1t should be left rough
to give binding surface for the top
coat.
Improper proportioning and mix,
Ing of materials, and laying In frees-
Ing weather, often causes failures,
but more often We find the failure ii
due to poor foundation.

Allan helped her to alight and they
walked to the very brink of the great
chasm. High above them the roof
was lost in the darkness. and below
them was a great gulf. where little
lights twinkled and lodged about
like fireflies. The roar of the great
engines and the mighty ventilators
was deafening Allan touched her
arm and led her to a great elevator
that was used in hosting the pre-
cious mineral out of the pit. They
quickly descended to the bottom of
the wonderful cavern, and the open
ing at the end of the tunnel through
which that hell blast of destruction
had roared looked like a tiny swal-
lows nest far up the side of a cliff
The next day the New York papers
had long interviews with Miss Lloyd,
in which she graphically described
her experience in the tunnel. And two
days later the engagement of the
tunnel master and the daughter of
the famous fnancier was formally
announced
Tunnel stock leaped up at the rate
of points an hour. and just at the
psychological moment Lloyd gave his
brokers a tremendous buying order

culiar little smile. II guess. my boy,
that you can go ahead now under full
steam-after your honeymoon.
The wedding was celebrated late
of each other during the period Of
their engagement than before 1t was
decided to begin work on full time
on the first day of July, and there
were countless thousands of details
to be attended to in the meantime
THE WEDDING
For two days before and two days
after the newspapers printed nothing
much excepting news OF the wedding
1t was a public wedding, in the sense
that all of society was invited. 1t
was celebrated In the great ballroom
at the Atlantic, the hotel where the
tunnel project was launched some
nine years before, and the newspa-
pers printed with minute care and
mathematical exactness the cost Of
everything connected with it. On top
of the whole mass of figures was the
brides announcement that as a we'd
ding gift to her husband she had
founded a pension fund of $4,000. 900
for the crippled and Ill of the tunnel
workers.
The reporters wrote columns about
the gayety and Joy of the occasion.
They commented especially on the
debonnair and jovial manner OF the
middle aged bridegroom. During the
period of their engagement Allan
could never bring himself to play the
lover. but he had played a little more
than the part Of a friend. In the
presence Of others his conduct had
