NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Continued from Yesterday

The beautiful young lady
shrugged. She had gone over the
ground so often that the subject
wearied her. She loved her IA
Their, but she could not understand
his utter lack of appreciation for
the wonderful curios her uncle
had bequeathed her, with the sim
gle stipulation that she should use
them.
The shrug discovered for a Sec
ond the milky depth of the fur.
And the little shop-girl shivered
with delight. But she vaguely
wondered why the beautiful young
lady's face wasn't happy one.
Any woman in such sables (even
IL she had just lost her husband)
ought to be supremacy happy.
The rule which measures happi-
ness is available alike to the field
mouse and the elephant: it's all
in the angle of vision.
That the girl In the sables was
unhappy was quite apparent. 1t
was not a petulant sadness, as in
having had her will crossed, as in
having stumbled over some tenn
porary disappointment. Her face
reflected a deep sorrow from with
in; of kind for which money at
her age is no balm.
Great peace and great sorrow
have the same brushes in Inning
in a face; the result is generally
beatlfic placidity. If you looked
at the girls eyes they told you
nothing, nor the pallor of her fine
skin; and yet the ensemble pro-
duced a haunting sadness. Ii
made you remember the face for
days.
At Madison Square the two got
out, and the little shop-girl con-
tinued her journey. to dream of
dukes and duchesses and wolds
and gabled manses.
The girl in the sables and her
father hurried over to the mono
18th of marble and were shot up
to the eighteenth floor.
The suite of law-offices to
which they had been so strangely
summoned were in toal darkness.
The bell rang and rang and
echoed eerily through the empty
rooms so nightly busy during the
secular days of the year.
Looks like a hoax"
Perhaps we've come too late. "
TOO late? 1t isn't nine yet, y
growled the father, recollecting
the quiet rubber at the club he
had been forced to postpone. "He
phoned that il would be very,
even exceedingly, important for us
to be here before nine. Shall we
waltz"
Certainly" The girl began
pulling down the finger-tips of
her gloves and twisting them.
Pm a doddering old fool" ex-
claimed her father, suddenly.
81 never telephoned his house
10 make sure. Why should we
come down here to his offices?"
They fastened back to the ele-
vator and went down. The elder
ly man stepped into the pay-sta-
tion booth. Presently he emerged,
wrathful of countenance.
"Never called up at all. Doesn't
know what I'm talking about. A
whole evening spoiled"
But what can 1t mean? What
can it mean?"

Mr.. Harrison said that realization

solution OF tho railroad difficulties
might be FASTENED by educating the
public as to Its interests and as needs
or transportation systems. He urged
efficiency In handling passengers be-

He thought that the public and rail-
