Nine. Petroff
By BARBARA Pl1lPPS

1t was midWinter in what was then
St petersburg,- now Petrograd. y
party of ladies and gentleman were
skating Oh the Neva. \ laSS was
standing somewhat apart from the 9th
ers looking at the skaters. Noticing
two gentlemen go By her in company,
she turned to Il lady standing near and
asked who they were. She was in
formed that one of them was grand
duke, the other Count DemidOif. At
the mention of the latter name the in
quirer started. Her informant noticed
it and asked the cause, whcreupon the
other said something which interested
the hearer greatly.
Il am Nine. GarotSky." the latter
said. Il know the count very well.
If you vii! permit | will arrange a
meeting between you and him"
The next day Count Demidoff re.
ceivcd an invitation to dinner with
Nine. GarotSky to meet friend of
hers from one of the provinces. lie
accepted the invitation, and the mo-
ment he laid eyes on guest to whom
he was introduced as Nine. Pctrolf he
was struck with her beauty. Not only
that; lie was delighted with her intelli-
gence After the dinner Nine. GarOtsky
pleaded an imdiSpOSitiOn and, retiring
to her room, left her two guests to.
gether.
The count passed a delightful even
ing. Before taking his departure he
had confessed that he was Il married
man, but was not living with his wife.
Indeed, he had been married by proxy
and had never seen his wife. He be
! longed to very old family, his title
| dating back many centuries, and would
| have had the entree to the court circle
| had he the means to associate with
persons who spent money like water.
| He had advertised for some rich COM
moner who would marry him and turn
over to him q portion Of her estate in
| lieu Of being permitted to assume his
| rank 1t was to be a mere CONNER
cial transaction, the two separating rs
soon as the marriage ceremony had
been performed. His advertisement
met the eye of young widow who
had inherited a large fortune from
her husband, very rich manufac
turer much older than herself, who had
died soon after their marriage. She
offered a large slice of her estate for
the privilege Of being a countess, and
since neither expressed q wish to see
the other and the widow lived in Il re.
mote province, they were married by
proxy.
Nine PetrOff listened to this story,
and the count fancied that he saw 4
sigh, which he attributed to the fact
that he was a married man. Indeed.
he had been captivated by the lady and
was saddened at the thought that a
marriage between him and her was
impossible. However, when they part
ed he took her address in the city and
the very next day called upon her.
Nine. Petroff remained in Petrograd
some time and gave the count every
encouragement to be with her. They
drove together, skated together, and
Denidoff,, secured invitations. for her.

WOODEN CARS ARE PASSING
VIII Have Been Replaced by Steel
Coaches on All Principal Railroads
In Ten Years, II Is Believed.

Disappearance of wooden cars from
the principal railroads OF the coun.
try within a period of ten years. is
considered probable. This prediction
Is based upon the figures embodied
in report prepared for the informa-
tion of congress, in which 1t is stated
that nearly one-fourth OF the 61,72S
passenger cars at present in use are
Of all-steel construction.
At the beginning OF the year there
we're 14,2S6 all.steel coaches in serv-
ice, and OF the 1904 new cars under
construction only three were OF wood.
while In 1909 in the United States
there were only 629 cars of steel. The
gain In steel has thus been very rapid,
and the encouraging feature OF the
situation is the voluntary acceptance
OF flreproof material by the transporta-
tion managers.
The cost Of replacing the wooden
equipment In use with steel is heavy
not less than $529, 900, 900, according
to estimates presented to the inter-
state commerce commission-and as
so large an amount cannot be expend-
ed In one year, the assumption that
the expenditure will be distributed
over q period Of ten years seems to
be within the bounds Of probability.
Perhaps tho time may be shortened
by intelligent cooperation between
the federal and state authorities and
the Observation-Disclosures journal.

DUE TO EQUIPMENT DEFECTS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Makes Report on the Causes Of
Various Railroad Accidents.

The failure of wheels on two trains
OF the st. Paul system within ten days
OF each other, anJ at the same town
by a coincidence, led to an investiga.
tion Of the cause & wheel failures,
which has become one OF the most
serious problems In American railroad.
ing.
In the thirteen years ending June
30, 1916, there were 37.456 derailments
due to equipment defects, OF which
1882 were caused by defective
wheels, with property loss of S12..
100000.
Many OF these wheels were of the
built-up type, consisting of q cast.iron
hub. two rolled steel check plates and
a rolled steel tire. The various parts
are forced on under pressure and then
secured by bolts. Out OF twenty
wheels Of this type examined after
the accident ten were found to have
incipient cracks In the interior webs
OF the tires.
The Interstate commerce commits
sion concluded that cold-rolled wheel
tires, as well as cold-rolled rails, are
not the strongest kinds.
The commission stated, in connec-
tion with the accident, that on many
railroads the track is not properly
constructed or sufficiently maintained
to permit of the safe operation of
trains at the rates of speed allowed.
