Kit nodded affirmation and chanced
to glance at Mrs. Breck. Her eyes were
fixed upon him. and he knew that If
ever he had seen prayer In woman's
eyes he was seeing 1t then. Shorty fol.
lowed his gaze and saw what he saw.
They looked at each other in confusion
and did not speak. Moved by the CON-

the head of the rapids.
Barely had they showed Breck's boat
out from the bank and caught the first
rough water when the waves begin to
lap aboard. They We're small waves,
but it was an earnest of what was to

Shorty stood up. slipped and sat

again.
"Dern the money" said Shorty

new REGULATIONS
AS t. DEMUR!RAGE
Charges Are Place Into Eff
feet By the Railroad
Companies.

BALTIMORE, Feb. a.-Efectiye
February i the American railroads
put into effect a revised schedule OF
demurrage charges on refrigerator
cars in which perishable freight Is
shipped.
The new schedule of demurrage
charges on these classes OF equip.
ment allows shippers two days free
use Of cars; following which there Is
a charge OF $500 day for the third,
fourth and fifth days. and $500 a day
for the sixth, seventh and eighth day
that equipment is held. For the ninth
day and for each additional day after
that time the daily demurrage charge
is $500.
The demurrage regulations govern.
ing the class of equipment which have
been in effect have allowed two days
free use of the cars and a uniform
charge Of S1.00 for each additional
day.
The aim of the new regulations as
set forth by the railroads in announc.
ing them to shippers is to facilitate
the handling of shipments requiring
refrigerator car service. The new
charge has received the endorsement
OF the National Industrial Traffic
League, whose members is composed
OF the traffic managers Of manufac.
turing and industrial plants with a
view to cooperating with the rail,
roads In the prompt movement Of
traffic.
1t has been recognized BY railroad
managers and business interests that
delays to traffic have been occasion:
ed frequently on account OF shippers
and consignees using cars for stor.
age instead of loading and unloading
them promptly. Where railroad
equipment is used as warehouse facili.
ties car shortages have been exper-
enced, especially when such is the
practice OF large shippers and the &C.
