rhouohtIessness and Accidents.

"The vast majority of personal in
Jury accidents are not due to mechani-
cal defects" writes H. L. Gannett, in
spector Of safety and fire prevention
Of the Commonwealth Edison COM
pany at Chicago. "but are plainly due
to some thoughtless act on the part OF
the injured or his fellow man.
IAN arm or leg off can never be re-
placed-an eye lost cannot be put
back, and a life once surrendered can
never be recalled.
Life is sweet. A home with Grip
pied father is not filled with the happi-
ness that It is entitled to enjoy; and a
home from which the father has been
called to that land from whence no
traveller returns is truly in distress
and has an added sadness when 1t Is
known that an avoidable accident
caused by the thoughtless act had
caused the untimely call of the grim
reaper"

During Recent Years.

At the convention of the National
Association for the Study and Proven

Seattle, 1t was shown that the nation
al death rate from tuberculosis has
decreased from 326 per 100000 in 1880
to 1865 in 1918. This decrease is
equivalent to the saving of 1902
lives in a single year. 1t proves that
the fight against the scourge is being
waged wisely and effectively.

Such figures are highly interesting
just at present. They show that while
more than half the world Is almost
wholly absorbed in the work Of taking

CHAPTER v.

Edward E. Allison Takes a Vacation.
Edward e. Allison walked into the
offices of the Municipal Transportation
company at nine o'clock, and set his
basket of opened and carefully ammo
tated letters out Of the mathematical
center of his desk; then he touched a
button and a thin young man. whose
brow, at twenty, wore the traces Of
preternatural age, walked briskly in.
Take Mr.. Gregory these letters
and ask him If he will be kind enough
to step here"
Eyes, sir" and the concentrated
young man departed with the basket,
feeling that he had quite capably borne
his weight of responsibility.
Gregory walked in. fat man with
no trace of nonsense about him.
"Out for the day, Ed?" he surmised,
gauging that probability by the gift
of the letters.
"A month or So" amended Allison,
rising and sur eying the other articles
on his desk calculatingly. I'm going
to take a vacation"
"It's about time" agreed his eff
cient general manager. II think it's
been four years since you stopped to
take breath. Going to play a little?"
That's the word" and Allison
chuckled like a boy.

suggested Gregory.

Gregory pondered frowningly, He

About that Shell Beach extension

Settle 1t yourself" directed Allison
carelessly, and Gregory stared. Dur
ing the long and arduous course of Al
lisons climb, he had built his success
on personal attention to detail. Good

cigar on his way to the door.
He stopped his runabout In front OF
a stationer's and bought the largest
globe they had in stock.
Address, please?" asked the clerk,
pencil poised over delivery slip.
"I'll take 1t with me-" and Allison

"Oh, | see," grinned Jim Sargent.
you want to do something you can
really call Job. II remember right
ly, you started with an equipment Of
four horse cars and two miles Of rust
ed rail What do you want to conquer
next?"
Allison glanced down the hill. then
back out across the starlit sky. Some
new fervor had possessed him tonight
which made him poet. and loosened
his tongue which, previous to this,
could almost calculate its utterances
in percentage.
1.-THE world" he said

spent with his maps, and his books,
and his figures; then he went to bis
broker with a list of railroads
Get me what stock you can of
these" he directed. "Pick 1t up as
quietly as possible"
The broker looked them over and
elevated his eyebrows. There was
not road in the list which was i'm
portant strategically, but he had
ceased to ask questions of Edward
Allison.
Three days later Allison went into
the annual stockholders meeting of
the L. and c. railroad, and registered
majority of the stock in that insig-
nificant line, which ran up the shore
opposite Crescent island, Joined the
Towando Valley shortly after its emer-
gence from its hired entrance into
New York, ran for fifty miles over the
roadway Of the Towando. with which
it had a longtime tracking contract,
and wandered up into the country.
where It served as an outlet to GER
tain conservatively profitable terri
tory.
The president reached for his gavel
and called the meeting. The stock
holders, gray and grave, and some
with watery eyes, drew up their chairs
to the long table; for they we're direc-
tors, too. They answered to their
names, and they listened to the min.
utes. and waded mechanically through
the routine business. always with their
gaze straylng to the new force which
had come among them. Every man
there knew all about Edward e. ALI
son. He had combined the traction in
terests of New York by methods as
logical and unsympathetic as geom-
etry, and where he appeared, no mat
ter how pacific his avowed intentions,
there were certain to be radical up
heavings.
Election of officers was reached In
the routine, and again that solemn in
quiry in the faded eyes. The official
slate" was proposed in nomination
Edward e. Allison voted with the rest.
Every director was reelected!
New business. Again the solemn
inquiry.
Move to amend Article Three, Sec
ton One of the constitution, relating
to duration of Office" announced ALI
son, passing the written motion to the
secretary. ION a call from the major.
ity of stock. the stockholders of the
l.. and c. railroad have right to
demand a special meeting, on one
weeks notice, for the purpose of re-
organization and reelection.
They knew it. 1t had to come.
Edward E. Allison waited just long
enough to vote his majority stock, and
left the meeting in hurry, for he
had an engagement to take tea with
Gail Sargent.
