 Samson laughed.

 They rode the rest of the way in deep conversation. Samson outlined his ambitions for his people. He told too, of the scene that had been enacted at Puryys store. Callomb listened with absorption, feeling that the narrative bore automatic truth on it's face. At last he inquired Did you succeed up there-as a painter"

the necessity of a new regime in the mountains, under which the individual could walk in greater personal safety. As for the younger South, the officer felt, when he rode away rext morning, that he had discovered the one man who combined with the courage and honesty that many of his clansmen shared the mental equipment and local influence to prove a constructive lead CT.
 When he returned to the Bluegrass he meant ot have long and unoffi cial talk with his relative, the governor.
 The grand jury trooped each day to the courthouse and transacted its busi- ness. The petty juries went and came, occupied with several minor homicide cases. The captain, from chair, which Judge Smithers had ordered placed beside him on the bench, was looking on and intently studying. One morning, Smithers confided to him that in day or two more the grand jury would bring in true bill against Samson South, charging him with mur-
  prise. He merely nodded.
 T suppose I'll be called on to go and get him?"
 I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to do that"
 What caused the change of heart? thought Purvys people didn't want it done.' It was Callombs first allusion, except for his apology, to their former altercation.
 For an instant only, Smithers was a little confused.

So, I had the grand jury take the matter up. We must stamp out such lawless- ness as Samson South stands for. He is the more dangerous because he has brains"
 Callomb nodded, but, at noon, he slipped out on a pretense of sightsee- ing, and rode by somewhat circuit ous route to the ridge. At nightfall, he came to the house of the clan head,

MASS. PUBLIC SERVICE C0MM'N
FAILS TO AGREE ON B. 6 NJ. BILL

Boston, March 2S.--After a three-hour
session at the rooms of the public SER
vice commission Saturday forenoon, the
federal trustees and the public service
commissioners who, under the direction
of Gov. Walsh, have been trying to reach
an agreement on 4 Boston a Maine reor-
ganization bill, practically gave up the
task.
They started with seven points of diff
ference in the two bills under considera-
ton, the one presented by the trustees
and the redraft PROPOSED by the commits
sion. BY a rephrasing of the words in
certain cases, four of the differences were
eliminated. They were, however, of mi
nor Importance.
At the close of the conference the three
larger points of difference remained un-
settled-the amount of supervision to be
allowed the public service commissioners
over the tradings of the trustees: the re-
duction from a two-thirds vote to ma
jority in the determination of leased line
problems, and the capitalization of the
cash premiums.
As to supervision, the essential differ
ence of opinion between the commission
and the trustees Is as to Sec. u, which

bill to vote.
Col Roosevelt repeated his charge

EASTERN YACHT CLUB
TO CRUISE IN JULY

The fleet of the Eastern Yacht Club
during the annual cruise this year, in the
first week of July. will be in waters that
are well known to the majority of the
captains, as it is planned to take the
yachts along the coast of Maine, the fin
est cruising ground on the Atlantic coast.
Last season, owing to the racing of the
cup sloops off Newport and in Long ISL
and Sound, the Eastern Yacht Club cruis-
ed south of Cape Cod; but this season
there is no such attraction to take the
yachts away from the Maine coast.

regatta committee have completed the
itinerary and the fleet will start from

ship, the auxiliary schooner Constella.
ton, which has been remodeled below
dacks and had an 101-horsepower engine
installed since she was purchased by
Commodore Sears late last summer
The first days run will be to Port
land, ~ miles from Marblehead. For
the remainder of the cruise the daily
racing runs will be short, between
weli-known harbors, with the finish at
Bar Harbor, where the annual dinner
for the distribution of prizes will be
held.
1t is expected that the race from
Newport to Marblehead for the Van
derbilt gold cup. which is to be held
the Saturday before the start of the
cruise, will bring a number of large
New York schooners into Eastern wa
ters; so that the fleet which Commo-
dore Sears commands will be large
not only in sail but also in tonnage.
The committee has planned the itin-
erary of the cruise so that a loss of n
day through bad weather will cause
no serious interruption nor interfere
with the arrival of the fleet at Bar
Harbor according to schedule, after
q cruise Of 247 miles. For this reason
the, last two runs of the cruise have
been made much shorter than the 9TH
ers. The itinerary follows:
