CHAPTER III.

As Judge Gilbert was about TO en-
ter his front door. having accom-
panied Mr. Kendall as far as the gate,
he saw carriage stop in front or the
house The man who got out and
came up the walk he recognized IN
stantly. None the less he did not walk
like the David Kerr Of yesterday; ne
seemed In every motion as he came
into the light cast by the porch lamp
to be the David Kerr of ten years
nence. Realizing that only something
unusual could bring the master OF
Locust Lawn out at night, and to ms
house. too, the lawyer went down the
porch steps to meet his visitor.
"Gcod evening, Mr.. Kerr" was Gil
berts greeting. This is an uneXpect-
ed pleasure"
Evening, Amos. Can l see you
alone? don't want to be interrupted.
I'VE can go into the library No
one will disturb us there"
To this Kerr made no reply He
toiled heavily up the steps and into
the house. Gilbert's surprise increased
on finding, when his visitor removed
his oVercoat, that ne had on evening
clothes. 1t was more an intuitive feel
ing than observation which made Gil
bert understand how uncomfortable
the boss found his unaccustOmed raj
ment.
As Kerr walked through the hall
and into the library his own thoughts
1C
to prevent him from satisfying his
curiosity by gazing about him. 1t
was the first time in his life that ne
had ever set foot in Gilbert's s. house
The invitation had been extended
many times, but Kerr knew his social
limitations and had always refused.
The Judge pushed forward big
leather chair and into it Kerr dropped
without q word His hands rested
listlessly on the arms OF his chair. the
bosom of his shirt was rumpled and
hulged out of his waistcoat, his
breath came heavy and fast, and he
gazed duly at the fire in the CRATE.
Gilbert had never seen him in such
a condition before Until now he had
always uGCU the IuGu OI liOH, slSGIpl-
ing his many triumphs and his few
minor defeats in the same imperturb-
able manner.
Il tried to get you by telephone
several times today" Gilbert began.
Il know it, but ! wasn't in the mood
for nothin'" The very tone in which
he spoke betrayed that fact
4 promised Kendall I'd call you up
In regard to the new franchise he's
anxious for you to support"
'That'll keep"
Il told him that personally l could
not be interested"
This drew no answer from the boss
Gilbert made no further attempt at
making conversation and for a time
the two men sat in silence. When
Kerr launched his first question il
seemed apropos Of nothing.
How long you been in Belmont
Amos?"

Instructions have been issued to the
legal departments of the railroads to

of the entire situation.
Railroad Officials Aroused.
The tide of low rate legislation in the
United States, 1t is said. has forced the
railroad heads to action. The recent
decisions Of the federal supreme court,
so unexpected by the railroad world.
upholding the rate legislation Of Min
nesota. Missouri and Arkansas. have
reduced the great transportation COM
panies of the continent to q subjection
they never before experienced. Recent
freight rate laws have aroused the most
fear of the railroads. The railroa DIS
term the prevailing low tariffs forced
on the railroads of the middle west
'conf1scatory. unwise and uncalled for,
particularly in the state of Missouri.
Railroad presidents in attendance at
the Chicago meeting have issued the
following statement. giving the rail-
roads side against low rates:
"The railroads have promptly obeyed
the laws and orders in Missouri, Ar
kansas and Minnesota reducing passen-
ger and freight rates. which were the
subject Of the recent decisions by the
supreme court Of the United States.

part Of the traffic involved.
cit must; not be understood that the
supreme court has decided any Of these
rates to be reasonable. The lower
courts. after long and patient hearings,
decided in each instance that the rates
were unreasonably low. and all that the
supreme court decided upon this branch
Of the cases Is that further proof should
have been produced by the railroads.

Believing that these reductions arc

propose to continue their efforts to
have them increased. New evidence
will be carefully prepared to meet the
suggestions contained in the opinions

litigation should become necessary. and
consideration is also being given to an
appeal to the state authorities and the

TAKE REVENGE ON BANDITS.
American Farmers Kill Seventeen Of
Them For Mistreating Girls.

Mexico city, Mex, Aug. 7.-Seven-
teen Mexicans have paid with their
lives for mistreating the daughters of
Matthew Gourd. an American farmer,
near Tampico last Monday.
American farmers participated in the
eXaction Of the penalty. according To
information regarded as reliable re-
ceived here yesterday. The Americans,
joined by Mexican land owners near
Tampico, organized a posse and rode
into the hills in search of the band of
outlaws who tied Gourd to n tree and
robbed him and afterwards offered in
dignlties To his two daughters in sight
Of their helpless father.
The band was located and defeated
in fight and several of the members
were captured. The seventeen men
killed by the posse included those kill
ed in the fighting and those put to
death by the vigilantes afterwards.
