There was nothing to do but go back
to Bohemia with its cobwebs, unknown
facescapes and stale beer odors. There
would be at least a welcome for him
there, and in an extremity he could paint
like-like advertising pictures for spaghetti
shops and canned beans.
He had been jingling a few stray coins
in his pocket when his fingers touched
the purse the girl had given him. He
tossed it from him, laughing as he heard
its clatter against the ground, and took
the next train for the city.
He would make one more sublime ef-
fort TO paint a great picture, and when he
had finished it he would dedicate 1t to

He was scarcely aware of it. but his

not know that the inspiration he had
sought and despaired of finding had come
to him at last.
A little gasp slipped from his lips as
he stopped before the painting. and then
his face flushed angrily. His first and
only great work of art had been brazenly
mutilated. Where the girls left eye had
been in the painting a perforation stared
at him, its fringes charred and ragged.
A small group of visitors had gathered
about him, all denouncing the yandal
land urging severe punishment. But Jack
did not listen. He was staring at a girl
who had edged her way through the
group and stood regarding the picture
with big. Mortified eyes.

Her face whitened, and suddenly Jack
found himself wondering whether her

According to brief filed with the In

by the Chamber of Commerce and the

Every phase of the rate question is
thoroughly covered in the brief which
states that the rates proposed by the
Southern Railway are higher than those
suggested by the compliments: but, that
after careful consideration of all circum-
stances and conditions, the compliments
are prepared to accept the compromise
insofar as rates are concerned.
The brief is in three sections, dealing
with three separate phases of the Wash
ington rate situation. One dealA with
the rates from the North, another with
rates to the South, and the third with
the matter of reparation. The brief con-
tains the signatures of Maurice d. Rosen-
