"Why did you do 1t, BillT' asked the
young man. why did you do it?
The penalty is fifteen marks for every

Bill had calmly taken 900 days, near

to help his companion. But he had no
time to talk over the matter now. He
addressed Montgomery b~rusquely. The

ON WAGON TRAFFIC

Editor Day Book:-In regard to
wagon traffic on the street car tracks,
/ wish to say that the loads most Of
the teams in Chicago have to drag
make it impossible to pull them for
any distance on asphalt pavements
on a hot day. It gets too soft and
some of it is in such bad condition
that it is unfit for traffic. If the city
would use some of the vehicle tax
money to repair the pavements and
give us more brick, granite or block
pavements the traffic on the car
tracks would be much less.
