OBITUARY
MISS VICTORIA TAUBER.

The home and hearts of our good
John Tauber and family, We're
made sad by the visit of the death
angel to their midst on the morning
of April II, when their daughter and
sister, Miss Victoria Tauber, gently
breathed her last when the spirit,
grown tired of this mortal life, winged
its flight to the dear Saviour.
Miss Victoria was born October II,
1885, at the Tauber home near Col
lege, where she died April II, 1913,
aged 81 years 6 months.
DEATH How the word quickens our
emotions, and how helpless we are!
But it's Gods way, and blessed be
His name, for all His ways are good.
When we pause in our mad rush for
an existence here we must accept
Gods word that it's not all to live
this life, that living or dying we are
the Lords" and we are Gods temples
placed here for the indwelling of His
holy spirit, to fit and prepare our
selves for the life to come; that we,

INTERURBAN RAILWAYS.

Within four months Bryan will have
an interurban extending to the Brazos
River and running down the rich val
ley for twenty miles on the west side
of the river. With a convenient sched-
ule, running cars at frequent intervals,
it will bring the trade of that vast
territory to Bryan and pour VERT
able stream of gold into the trade
channels of the city from years end
to years end.-Bryan Eagle.
Interurban railroads are coming to
be very popular in Texas. They af-
ford frequent and reliable transporta.
ton service for the territory which
they traverse. Their interest is the
interest of the community. They are
developers in class by themselves.
They are neighborhood facilities that
are needed in every community that
is becoming populous and producing
considerable quantities of commodi-
ties for the market. The coming of
this particular interurban line in the
valley of the Brazos River is likely to
draw new attention to an excellent
farming country and to make for ex-
pansion of industries such as ought
to go with farming in a State like
Texas. The interurban that connects
towns and farms ought to result in
a considerable impetus in dairying and
in canning factories. 1t ought to i'm
prove the educational facilities of the
community and lend much to the
country life situation OF character
to make it more pleasing and fruitful
of development. Such interurban rail
roads as Texas has acquired have been
proven successful. There is room in
Texas for many more miles of this
sort of transportation and other rail
roads will profit by the auxiliary serv-
ice that is thus provided. Galveston

PROF. LANDRY LOST LIBRARY.

Prof. P. Landry, principal of the
colored school, was heavy personal
loser in the fire which destroyed the
colored school building this morning.
He lost his personal library, in the
collection of which he had spent many
years of patient labor, 1t contained a
great many volumes of good books,
standard works of reference, rare vol
umes, etc., which were very valuable
and will be very difficult to replace.

building is a serious loss to the city,

board that can be depended upon in
any emergency. This is matter
where no prejudice should be per-

mitted. 1t is Just as much the duty
of the city to rehabilitate the colored
school as it would be the white school

CHAPTER xxxv.


OsWald ola not succeed III nndtnS
man to please Orlando He sug-
gested one person after another to
the exacting inventor, but none were
satisfactory to him and each in turn
was turned down. 1t is not every
one we want to have share world
wide triumph or an ignominious de-
feat And the days were passing.
He had said in a moment of elation,
Il will do 1t alone" but he knew
even then that he could not. Two
hands were necessary to start the
car; afterwards, he might manage 1t
alone. Descent was even possible, but
to give the continuance its first lift
required a second mechanician. Where
was he to find one to please him? And
what was he to do IL he did not?
Conquer his prejudioes against such
men as he had seen, or delay the
attempt, as Oswald had suggested, till
he could get one OF his old cronies
on from New York He could do nei-
Their. The obstinacy of his nature was
such as to offer an invincible barrier
against either suggestion. One alter
native remained. He had heard of
women aviators If Doris could be
induced to accompany him into the
air, instead of clinging sodden-like to
the weight of Oswald's woe, then
would the world behold triumph
which would dwarf the ecstasy Of the
birds fight and rob the eagle of his
kingly pride. But Doris barely en-
dured his as yet, and the thought was
not one to be considered for mo-
ment Yet what other course re-
NAMED? He was brooding deeply on
the other subject, In his hangar one
urday was but two days Off when
there came light knock at the door.
This had never occurred before. He
had given strict orders, backed by
his brothers authority, that he was
never to be intruded upon when in
this place; and though he had some
times encountered the prying eyes Of
the curious flashing from behind
the trees encircling the hangar,
his door had never been APP
preached before. or HIS privacy
enoroached upon. He started then,
when this low but penetrating
sound struck across the turmoil of
his thoughts, and cast one look in
the direction from which 1t came;
but he did not rise, or even change his
position on his workman's stool
Then 1t came again, still low but
with an insistence which drew his
brows together and made his hand
fall from the wire he had been uncon-
scsously holding through the mental
debate which was absorbing him.
Still he made no response. and the
knocking continued. Should he liz.
more 1t entirely, start up his motor
and render himself oblivious to all
other sounds? At every other point
In his career he would have done this,
but an unknown. and as yet unnamed,
something had entered his heart dur
ing this fatal month, which made old
ways impossible and oblivion thing
he dared not court too recklessly.
Should this be summons from Dor
is! Should Uncomfortable idea, yet IL
seized upon him relentlessly and
would not yield for the asking)
should 1t be Doris herself!
Taking advantage Of momentary
cessation Of the ceaseless tap tap, he
listened. Silence was never profound
