race was close between st. Louis and
Chicago. The Chicago boomers had
believed the fight won and were a NIUE

Again Wilcox locked at the map.
The Silverknob and Nugget City road
began nowhere and ran nowhere, so
far as the larger transportation world
was concerned, and it could never fig
ure as competitor. The hundred
miles through the precious natural
pass known as the Yando chasm was
not SO busy stretch of road as it
was important, and the revenue from
the passage of the Silverknob and
Nugget City's trains would deduct
considerably from the expense OF
maintaining that much-prized key to
the golden West.
I'll take it up with Priestly and

How soon can you let me known"
MOuudy.
That afternoon saw Allison headed
back for New York, and the next
morning he popped into the offices OF
the Pacific Slope and Puget Sound,
where he secured a rental privilege to
run the trains of the Orange Valley
road into San Francisco, and down to
Los Angeles, over the tracks of the
P. s. and P. S. The Orange Valley
was a little, blind pocket of road
which made a juncture with the p. s.
and p. S. just a short haul above San
Francisco, and it ran up into a rich
fruit country, but its terminus was far
far away from any possible connection
with a northwestern competitor, and
that bargain was easy.
That night Allison, glowing with an
exultation which erased his fatigue
dressed to call on Gail Sargent.

VAGUE AS TO CAUSES OF WAR
Anecdotes Would Seem to Reveal
Confusion of the Average
Irish Mind.

In many districts of Ireland there
are practically no books and almost
nobody reads newspapers. For months
there were people in Ireland who
thought England was fighting oD the
same side as Germany.
Here is an illustration of popular
ignorance of which have personal
knowledge.
A group of villagers were in black
smith shop. discussing the news. FL
nally one asked: And how did this
bloody war begin?"
The blacksmith was the scholar OF
the gathering. "You see,' said he, 1T
was like this. The king of the Servi-
tudes took woman of the Morgans
to wife, and so the Servitudes killed
them both and that is the way the
thing began"
Which, after all, is much after the
manner of Herodotus,
Still combining myself to incidents
that 1 know to be true ! will add
another anecdote to illustrate the way
the Irish mind takes hold Of an inter-
national situation. A man was defend
ing himself for having fought with
the British troops against the Beers.
He explained that he started to join
the Beers, but that he could not get
through the lines, so he joined the
British.
"You should not have done thai"
said one.
"Ah," said the narrator, II would
have given me soul for a fight. -

CHAPTER vi.
Had They Spoiled Herr


= Music resounded in the parlors Of
Jim Sargent's house; music SO sweet
and compelling in its harmony that
Aunt Grace slipped to the head Of the
stairs to listen in mingled ecstasy and
pride. Up through the hallway floated
a clear, mellow soprano and a rick,
deep baritone, blended so perfectly
that they seemed twin tones. Aunt
Grace. drawn by a fascination she
could not resist, crept down to where
she could see the source of the mel
ody. Gail. exceptionally pretty to-
night IN her simple dove-colored gown
with its one pink rose. sat at the
piano, while towering above her, with
his chest expanded and look of per-
feet peace on his face, stood Rev.
Smith Boyd.
Enraptured, Aunt Grace stood and
listened until the close of the ballad.
Leafing through her music for the next
treat, Gail looked up at the young doc
tor, and made some smiling remark
Her shining brown hair, waving about
her forehead, was caught up in a
simple knot at the back, and the deli
cate color of her cheeks was like the
fresh glow Of dawn. Rev. Smith Boyd
bent slightly to answer, and he, too.
smiled as he spoke; but as he hap
pened to find himself gazing deep into
the brown eyes of Gail, the smile be-
gan to fade, and Aunt Grace Sargent.
scared, ran back up the stairs and into
her own room. where she took book.
and held it In her lap, upside down.
The remark which Gail had made was
this:
"You should have used your voice
professionally"
The reply of the rector was:
81 do"
"I didn't mean oratorically," she
laughed, then returned nervously to
her search for the next selection. She
had seen that change in the smile 1T
is SO rare to find a perfect speaking
voice coupled with perfect singing
voice" she ratified on. Here's that
simple little May Song Just har-
mony, that's all"
Once more their voices rose in that
perfect blending which is the most
delicate of all exhilarations. In the
melody itself there was an appealing
sympathy, and, in that moment, these
two were in as perfect accord as their
voices. There Is something In the
music of the human tone which exerts
q magnetic attraction like no other IN
the world; which breaks down the par
riers Of antagonism, which sweeps
away the walls Of self-entrenchment
which attracts and draws, which ex-
plains and does away with explana-
t.on. This was the first hour they nao
spent without q clash, and Rev. SmitE
Boyd, his eyes quite blue tonight,
brought another stack of music from
the rack.
The butler, an aggravating image
with only one joint In his body, pa
-aded solemnly through the hall. and
back again with the card tray, while
Gail and the rector sang "JuaAita"
from an old college songbook. which
the Reverend Boyd had discovered In
high glee. Aunt Grace came down the
stairs and out past the doors OF the
music salon. There were voices OF
animated greeting in the hall. and
Aunty returned to the door Just as the
rector was spreading open the book
at Sweet and Low"
Pardon me-" beamed aunty
