TESTS Prove Iowa Coal Best.

That Iowa coal is more valuable
than Illinois coal as fuel for the type
|of locomotive on which the test was
run, is the conclusion reached by the
engineering experiment station at
Iowa State college in coal tests run
last winter for the Northwestern rail
road to determine the relative values
of Iowa and Illinois Goals. Professors
|; X. A.. Norman, H. w. Wagner and E.
E. King had the tests in charge.
/ Altho the results obtained may not
apply to larger engines. yet they show
that for the smaller type. OF which
many are used by the Northwestern,
Iowa coal is the more economical fuel.
A. similar test will probably be run
soon for the Rock Island railroad on
10 different types of coal.
The locomotive and coal testing
work done by the engineering expert,
ment station ut Ames has become so
well known that many letters have
been received from all parts of the
country concerning the equipment and
outlay OF the plant. From Russia re-
Gently was received a letter from p.
NJ. V. Golvloboff, Russian engineer
who is to construct a new locomotive
testing plant for the Russian railways.
He asks that the station send him spe.
cifications Of the plant at Ames.

know, needsno explanation. 7"
Suddenly, like fire through
dry grass, an ugly rumor
hissed through the town.
Richard Bellamy had
failed. He had spent Miss
Felicia's last cent. He was
never coming back. Very
like, those "letters from
Richard" were all her pit
eous pretense. He had de-
serted her. Well! A jail
bird! What else could you

in soda fountain and card-tables, and
install a moving-picture machine. The
company was to share expenses and
profits. Ten cents would buy an eve
ning's admission to everything.
The chief pounced on the scheme, and
the thing went like wild-fire Within
month it was paying expenses, and more.
"A success? OF course it's success,
the way Richard manages it, sparkled
Miss Felicia "Ask Mr.. Augustus to come
up Saturday evening, and see how admi-
rably Richard superintends things
AUGUSTUS went. He came home at
midnight, with black eye and
sprained wrist. At first he wouldn't tell
me word; but screwed it out of him.
The cement men were sober, well be-
haved crowd. But about ten o'clock,
when everything was going as smooth as
silk, along came half tipsy gang from the
levee contract up river. They swarmed
across the gang-plank, and demanded ad-
mittance. Richard went on deck, and ex-
planned that, being Saturday night, the
boat was crowded. Sorry, but he must
ask them to come some other night.
Most Of the gang turned back, grum-
bling. But dozen or SO shouldered right
In. One drunken rowdy took the lead.
@We've got right on public boat!" he
yelled. "Rush him, boys!"
The gang threw themselves at Richard.
A crowd of cement men dashed gleefully
into the fray. There ensued what Angus
tus described as the liveliest free-for-all
H. sv,to I To hot h<,
evidently enjoyed it. Richard bolted into
the thick of the scrimmage, headlong.
Three minutes later the levee gang scut-
tied ashore, sadder and wiser crew.
Richard, chortling with laughter, but
queerly white dropped on a chair. Blood
dripped from his right sleeve.
"One of those scalawags must have
stuck knife into me- Odd that didn't
feel it"
He pitched out Of his chair and lay limp.
Richard had guessed rightly. The dirk
had struck twice-and struck deep.
Richard would live, SO the doctor told
Miss Felicia, very gently, but he must
lie still for weeks, perhaps months. There
was lung puncture.
Richard is wonderful" said Miss
roilcld, Her ups pdrcAeu, Her pToWH eyes
burning. 4When he's so patient, surely
can't dare be unhappy"
"But who will run the boat?"

beautiful face grew stern. Richard

plus worry, plus grief, plus torturing fear!
No wonder Miss Felicia grew white and
drawn and silent. But she ruled each
day like the princess she was. She nursed
Richard; she ran that boat. She never
faltered, never whined. And the deeper
springs never failed her. Times I'd go
there, and see Richard lying so wan and
spent, all life and will drained out of him.
Then I'd see his eyes meet Miss Felicia's
and my own eyes would dim for thankful
ness. The old enchanting magic still
called in their hearts. For them, the
winds of Already still blew.
After four months, Richard could sit
up. Two months more, and he could drag
on crutches to his tool-house, where he
worked long hours.
"Richard always had a talent for in
vention. He is working on new type of
steamship propeller, Miss Felicia told me.
"Inventions" groaned Augustus, when
told him. "Swing out the life-boats!"
RY June, Richard, still on crutches, was
hobbling back and forth to the overall
factory, where he helped in the Office In
August came the war; The factory shut
down promptly. Richard went back to
his tool-shed and his propeller. By Sep
tember the cement plant shut down. Miss
Felicia was left with the worthless gaudy
boat on her hands.
They got through the winter somehow
nobody knows just how.
One muggy April morning, l took the
packet for st. Louis. The first person l
met on board was Miss Felicia.
4Yes, I'm going to the city. A business
errand," she said quietly, to my greeting.
"Let me go with you. My shopping
can wait" l urged. Somehow, her hot,
tense face scared me.
"Oh, can manage alone, Miss Lille"
eWell, I'm going with you, whether or
that / am.
Miss Felicia stared away from me, out
at the low green shore. She was quivering
all over. Suddenly she turned to me, with
desperate courage.
@No, Miss Lille, please. I'd rather 60
shopping alone"
"Why, Felicia"
"Because-because I'm not going to
buy, but to SELL"
"To sell-what?'
"Listen, Miss Lille. Richard has fin
ished his propeller model, and patented it.
But-we find it will take money to put it
before the ship-bulders.. A good deal of
money. I am going TOTO borrow some

Philadelphia and offer his patent for SALE"

can buy them back. Never"
"Yes, / shall, Miss Lille. Felicias
voice rang steel. at may take some time.
All inventions are little slow. But
Richards propeller is a work of genius.
1t can not fall"
"But your mothers pearls! Can't you
sell the diamonds, instead?"
"The diamonds went long ago. When
poor little Aunty left us. Doctors, nurses
the diamonds barely tided us over"
Felicia! If you'd only let me help"
mo, Miss Lille! No; can not Not
even you.
Richard will make successful disposal
of his patent, l know, she went on in that
clear, unflinching voice. Before the year
is out, you'll see us quite prosperous. 1t
will be good to be prosperous again." she
added, with queer, harsh little laugh.
l followed her glance. She was staring
across the cabin at baby, growing and
bouncing in his young mothers arms.
Her eyes were wide with terrible envy.
"I don't think I'm unreasonable, Miss
Lille. But sometimes l get a bit sullen,
when | see-when | see what we can't
afford"
aFelicia, don't!' l cried out, stabbed
through with pity.
II beg your pardon, Miss Lille. l for
got myself. Now, good-by. I'll meet you
at the wharf for the six o'clock boat. No,
please! am going alone"
Three days later, Richard pallid and
frail, leaning heavily on his crutches,
started East. Miss Felicia saw him off
She had on an old white dress, done up
crisp as new, and fresh silk roses in her
hat, and she bade him good-by as lightly
as if he was off for weeks trout-fishing.
"It's such satisfaction to know he's
off at last, she smiled to me buoyantly.
Under the rose-wreathed hat, her eyes
were wet, her sweet mouth trembled.
Terror pulsed in her throat and whitened
her cheeks to ashes. 1As l told Richard,
now our fortune is made. All that re-
mains is the trifing formality of this sale.
"Trifiing formality-' Gosh!n sighed
Augustus, when told him.

THE hot spring days fled on. 1t was
month since Richard went away; six
weeks; two months. Day after scorching
day, Miss Felicia went down the hill past
my house, to get her mail. Day after day,

her face, my heart dropped, lead
She came staggering toward me, whittier
than clay. Her lips were bitten in, her
eyes were flaming.
"Good afternoon, Miss Lille" She
spoke up, sharp and hoarse. Her eyes
glittered. The letter in her hand shook
with her long, hard breaths. "I stopped
in to ask favor. IL want to telegraph
to Richard. l haven't any change with
me. Could you lend me fifty cents?"
Stupidity l fumbled in my purse So it
had come to this! Richard had failed
and she hadn't even the fifty cents to
send him her loyal cry Of love and
sympathy.
"Yes,' she went on in that strange,
high, shaken voice. al want to acknow-

reckon there isn't much more to tell.
Miss Felicia and l went to St. Louis on
the packet next morning, and bought back
her pearls, from the limpid old necklace
to the Judges sleeve-buttons.
Five days later, Richard Bellamy came
home. Somewhere on the way, he'd mis-
laid his crutches. He leaped off the train,
and came racing down the platform, his
face shining like boys. But when he
saw Miss Felicia waiting for him, all the
blown triumph went out of him, and into
his face came the deep, still wonder of
their wedding night.
I MET Miss Felicia at the lace counter
at Fields, the last time / was in Chi
cago. They live in Chicago now, for
Richard is Western manager for the
Craven firm. For moment, l didn't
know her. She had on gray velvet dress,
the mist-gray of pussy-willow stalk, and
under its short skirt were the slenderest
little gray shoes, and over it rippled a
great coat of silver fur.
Framed in the faring, audacious collar,
Miss Felicia's face was rosy as arbutus, and
her eyes were brown stars-and / know
that Miss Felicia will never see thirty
again.
