weak. They were afraid of the ether.

While Miss Wrandall waited in
Sara's reception hall on the tenth floor,
the messenger, having traversed a
more devious route, arrived with his
message.
Watson took the envelope and told
him to wait. Five minutes passed.
Miss Wrandall grew very uncomfort-
able under the persistent though COM
plimentary gaze of the street urchin.
He stared at her, wide-eyed and ad-

stared back occasionally, narrow-eyed
and reproVing, her tribute to the gro

coins that we're strangers to it up to

the door behind the boy who failed to
say thank you" Every man to his

There was a woman in the drawing

is settled. l wish you'd let me make
a suggestion, however. Wouldn't it
be wise to let us all get together and
talk over the business end of the
game? Brandy's fine chap, corker,
In fact, but the question is: has he
got it in him to take Challis place in
the firm? You've got to consider the
future as we'll as the present, my dear.
We all do. With his artistic tempera-
ment he might play hob with your in
terests, and ours too, for that matter.
Wouldn't it be wise for me to sound
him bit before we take him into the
firm? Forgive me for suggesting this,
but, as you know, your interests are
mine, and I'm terribly keen about see
ing you get the best of everything.
By the way, wasn't he a bit gone on
Hetty? Passing fancy, of course, and
not deep enough to hurt anybody.
Good old Brandy"
There is more, Brandon but it's
of no consequence" she said, tossing
the letter upon the table. You see
how the land lays"
Booth was pale with annoyance.
by Jove, Sara, what an insufferable
ass he isl"
THE shoe pinches?"
"Oh, it's such perfect rot! I'm
sorry on your account. Have you ever
heard of such gall?"
"Oh, he is merely acting as the fam
lily spokesman. l can see them now
in solemn conclave. They think it
their indisputable right to select
husband for me, to pass upon him, to
accept or decline him as they see fit,
hang up his hat and coat in the Offices
of Wrandall & Co."
DO you mean to say"
Let's not talk about it, Brandon.
1t is too silly"
They fell to discussing her plans for
the immediate future. although the
minds of both were at work with
something else.
Now that l have served my pur-
pose, suppose you will not care to
see 30 much of me-" she said, as he
prepared to take leave of her.
Served your purpose? What do
you mean?"
Il should have put it differently.
You have been most assiduous in your
efforts to force the secret from me.
1t has been accomplished. Now do
you understand"
That isn't fair, Sara" he protest
ed. "If you'll let me come to see you,
in spite of what the gossips and Mr.
Redmond Wrandall predict, you may
be sure / will be as much in evidence
as ever. / suppose | have been a bit
OF nuisance, hanging on as l have"
Il admire your perseverance,. More
than that l admire your courage in
accepting the situation as you have.

your way Of thinking, Brandon.
Goodby."

You really want me to come?"
Certainly"
He studied her pale, tired face for
a nSpment, and then shook his head.
You must take care Of yourself" he
said. You are unstrung. Get a good
rest and-and forget certains things II
you can. Everything will come out
all right In the end"

MORE DOUBLE TRACK.
Reports Say Santa Fe WIN Build From
nddssafaty to IaJunt.-

Garden City, Kan. Jan 16-That
portion Of the Santa Fe track between
Kinsley and La Junta win be ON the
list to be double tracked when the rail-
road starts again on its double track
work. Because Of the cutoff between
Kinsley and Hutchinson it is not pro-
bable that a double track will be built
here as the main line via Great Bend
can be used to prevent traffic from
getting too heavy on one line.
Much double track work Ia being
planned by the Santa Fe according to
authentic Information. Much of it was
to have been started this year, but
the marked falling on OF business ex-
perienced by all the railroads may post
pone the starting Of the new double
track work until next year.
The largest piece Of double track
work contemplated for the near future
is from Newton. the western terminus
Of the double track line from Chicago
to Mulvane, south Of Wichita. This
line Is the throat Of the route to Okla
homa and Texas.
There are two or three short gaps
in the main line double track work be-
tween Newton and Chicago, and these
probably win be closed up this year.
One gap II q stretch Of four miles
near Sibley. Mo-, and it is expected
that this work will be started this year.
There il a flve mile gap between Brad
dock and w alton which has not been
double tracked, and this gap probably
will be closed this year also.

TAP LINES HEARING SOON.
Country Wide Effort in Governme
Railway Case I'm February.

Topeka shippers and railway men
have received information from WASH
ington that the federal supreme court
has named February - as a date for
hearing arguments in the so-called tap
line cases involving the division Of
through rates between tap lines and
trunk line railroads. Tho hearing
will be on an appeal from q recent
decision Of tho commerce court, now
out Of existence, which decided that
tap lines are entitled to a division Of
joint rates on all business received
from trunk line carriers.
The decision was written by Judge
Julian w. Mack and the appeal was
perfected by the interstate commerce
commission, the department Of Justice
at Washington and the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railway. Tho pro-
ceeding involves claims by tap lines
amounting to approximately $5.O00.-
900 and affects all railroads owned by
shippers throughout the country.
The commerce court reversed q de-
cision Of the interstate commerce
commission in the case and the latter
body. on its own motion. has arrang-
ed for q hearing February in Wash

Interstate Commerce Commission in
the case brought by e. M. Kibbie Of
Victoria against the Abilene and

carload shipments of calves from
Texas points to outside markets
The shippers asked that the weight
minimum be reduced from $4,000 to
$1,000 pounds to enable them to load
cars without overcrowding and still
avoid paying for weight that was not
there. Statements were made Wy Al
