 Tt looks mighty odd to me-" said voice suddenly, clearly audible through the night, that fellow being in Reb uniform. What could he be doing here?"
 "A scout, I reekon,'' grumbled a reply, barely distinguishable. Just a stray we run into, but it mout be best ter take a look along this yere ridge afore we ride en.''

 He moved off, evidently glad enough to be relieved, and l stood erect where I could gaze out through the nearby window into the moonlight night with out 1 had. moment in which to think, to gather my scattered wits to- gether, to face the situation. Behind me the tramp of approaching horse men sounded along the pike, tie gruff tone of an occasional voice, the elang of aecoutrements. Then this noise ceased, as the head of the cavalry col umn came up to where CoWan and his men waited. 1 could barely make out the murmur of voices in explanation muffled by the sound Of appreachipo wheels. signifying the slower advance of the guarded wagons l heard no orders given. yet the moanliebt re vealed more numerous figures in the line stretching across the open space.

Jitneys and Transportation

 Dear born

Among the live issues of this strenuous period in our country's history. there is perhaps no subject demanding more seri- ous consideration than the economic side of the question of transportation. The public service corporations of the United States, representing an investment of some $50.000, ,000.000 are the vertebrae of our commercial and industrial fabric So fnterwoVen are the great railroad systems In the warp and wool of the business life of the land, that any disturbance of their physical and financial equilibrium IS felt in the remotest sections of the coun- try. In the consumption of the products of forest. mine and furnace, they have become such dominant factor as to cast the deciding vote between prosperity and norprosperity
 Failure to measure up to an honest stewardship bysthose privileged to share in the glory of constructing these vast arteries through which flow the nations blood. has filled the land with distrust, visiting punishment upon innocent heads. The danger then, is that in attempting to right the wrongs committed by those now far beyond reach, the people will im- peril or destroy valuable properties that should be carefully preserved.
 When the history of suburban real estate development in the larger cities during the past 20 years has been writ ten. it will be found that the greatest factor in the success of the operation has been that of transportation Owing to the intimate relation transportation has borne to this work in the city of Birming- ham, covering a period of some 30 years. and the numerous suburban roads that were inspired thereby, Birmingham will serve well to illuminate the subject, af- fording as it does, ample opportunity for extensive observation.

The Germans were careful not to fire on them. preferring to capture the ant- mals when they got near enough ep their trenches. On tho following day. towards nightfall a horses appeared on the same ground In the half nghs the Germans were only able to distinr- guish their vague outlines and to sec that they were unmountod. They were preparing to welcome them as anothcr useful capture when in response to q sharp cry the two dozen horses. kicking up their heels. ga1loped back to the French trenches. Thereupon 24 gray forms rose from the ground to throw themselves into tho German trenohes- Concea1ing themselves in eastern fash

 the Algerians had arrived almost at tho edge of the hostile trenches which they proceeded to attack with fury. The second German line did not dare to
 fire for fear of shooting their own men in the uncertain light, and tho Ger mans wavered. At this moment tho French infantrymen arrived for sup port. fN3 es s..ts
