thing it was a gift, no matter what she
brought to the man on her marriage
nor what she had earned since! It
seemed universal, this condition.
A startling thought came to June.
Suppose she achieved her independ-

ey. SO that she could go to Ned, asking
from him nothing but love in return
for her love, would he own what she
had earned? If so, what would be-
come of. the principle for which she
had run away? She paled at that
thought. and then she laughed. She
did not know the law in this matter,

June's own luggage!

There were the rattle Of donkey

How New Haven Attempted
to Crush Steamship Company

New York. Nov. 4.-The alleged ef-
forts of the New York. New Haven &
Hartford railroad to crush out the
competition Of the Joy Steamship Co.,
began a new chapter yesterday in the
testimony being presented by the gov
ernment to prove that William Rookie
feller and ten other directors Of the
road are guilty Of having conspired to
monopolize the transportation traffic
Of New England. . -
The government alleges that this
line was eventually acquired by the
New Haven and secretly operated as
an independent to drive another inde-
pendent line out of business. The
testimony yesterday, which consisted
chiefly of the reading of letters writ
ten by the late John NJ. Hall, president
Of the New Haven was intended to
show how the competition Of the Joy
line between New York and Provi-
dence, B. /. became in 1900 a thorn in
the side OF the New Haven.
On July 3, 1900. Hale wrote to J. w.
