Johnson, of the Bayou State Security
bank, in New Orleans"
Thus cambridge, sometime star re-
porter for the Louisianian, turning up
at the climaxing instant to prove the
crowded condition Of an overnarrow
world, much as Matthew Brofin had
once turned up on the after-deck OF
the coastwise steamer Adelantado to
prove it to him.
While Griswold, with every nerve
on edge, was acknowledging the in
PRODUCTION which he could by no
means avoid, Brofln drew nearer.
From the porch steps he could both
see and hear. cambridge, cheerfully
loquacious, continued to do most Of
the talking. He was telling Griswold
Of the streak of good luck which had
snatched him out of a reporters berth
in the South to make him night editor

eyes searched the teller's face. Thus
far IL was a blank-a rather bored
blank.

skillfully attuned to all the tone varia-
lions in the voice Of evasion, thought
he detected a quaver Of anxious i'm

Something clicked in Broffln's brain.
The final doubt was cleared away.
Griswold was the mar he had seen and
marked when the two we're saying

Good Men Arc Scarce.

Col. E. Polk Johnson of Louisville,
who fought for the Confederacy, read
something in the dispatches from the
front the other day that reminded him
very much of what happened when
he was serving in the western army
in the Civil war. II remember 1t was
a wet. cold, rainy night in the middle

long, lean chap in my regiment was or
dered to go on picket duty. He
thought the situation over for a min

The sick man promised, and as she
was going away she turned to repeat
the caution. Andrew G%albraith's eyes
were closed in WEAKNESS, and he did
not see that she was standing with her
back to the wall while she admonished
him, or that, when she had gone to
send the visitor up, the ~earpiece of the
house telephone set had been detached
from its hook and left dangling by Its
wire cord.

The Quality Of Mercy.

On no less an authority than that Of
the great doctor who came again from
Chicago for a second consultation
with Doctor Farnham, Andrew Gal

days following his return to conscious

votion Of n person.
S%econding the efforts Of the physi-
clans, and skillfully directing those Of

the vicarious struggle with the gener-
u s~elf-sacrifice which counts neither
cost nor loss; and on the third day
she had her reward. Her involuntary

Justice to the Railroads.

Railroad incomes fell off a hundred
million dollars in 1914 as compared with
1918. Wages, materials, taxes, all
were higher. In addition, there is de-
terioration, which grows in inverse ra-
tito to the square of the distance.
Altogether, the cost of hauling folks
and freight is considerably more than
1t was five years ago, and receipts are
much less.
The posrponement of needed repairs
in upkeep viii make the eventual out
lay much more than it would be if the
property were in first class condition.
The floating of short time notes, in
order to meet payrolls and taxes, is
hand-to-mouth financiering, and the
necessity of such methods is disgrace
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that compels it.
There Is no man in any line of indus

not at once be benefited if the railroads
were allowed to adjust their rates on
an equitable basis.
Prosperous railroads mean q prosper
