CHAPTER TX.

It was just at that instant that the
thick set man In his berth not 10 feet
away became broadly conscious Of the
unwonted stiffness Of the train and
the cessation Of motion hat had lulled
him to such sound repose. So does a
tiny, sharp sound strike upon our
senses and bring them into life again
from sleep, making us aware of a state
Of things that has beer going on for
some time perhaps without our reali-
zation. The sound that reused him
may have been the click Of the state
room latch as Gordon opened the door.
The shades were down in the mans
berth and the curtains drawn close.
The daylight had not as yet penetrated
through their thickness. But once
awake his senses were Immediately on
the alert. He yawned, stretched and
suddenly arrested another yawn to an
alyze the utter stiffness all about him.
A sonorous snore suddenly emphasized
the quiet OF the car, and made him
aware Of all the occupants of all those
curtained apartments. His mind went
over a quick resume of the night be-
fore. and detailed him at once to duty.
Another soft clicking of the latch set
him to listening and his bristly
shocked head was stuck instantly out
between the curtains into the aisle,

the end door, carrying two suit cases

was sure instantly, and his mind grew
frantic with the thought. Almost he
had outdone himself through foolish
sleep.
He half sprang from his berth, then
remembered that he was but partly
dressed, and jerked hack quickly to
grab his clothes. stopping in the oper-
alton OF putting them on to yank UP
his window shade with an impatient
click and flatten his face against the
window pane.
Yes, there they were down on the
ground outside the train, both of them:
man, woman, baggage and all slipping
away from him while he slept peace
fully and let them go! The Language
Of his mind at that point was hot with
inyectives.
Gordon had made his way back to
the girls side without meeting any
porters or wakeful fellow passengers
But a distant rumbling greeted his
ears. The waited for express was com

The vlndleatlon Of 5randeIs.
From the Duluth Herald.

Six years ago Louis ID. Brandeis, now n

clared that the railroads Of the country
could save $l,ooo,o Os a day by economies

Justice Louis ID. Brandeis has been

whereby the railroads could, by in

alone would mean over S.. zoe, 900 a

SO long as the railroads could get what
ever rates their fancy or nerve might lead
them to demand, what was the use OF
bothering about economies?
When 1t became plain that the railroads
could get only such rates as they could
thoroughly justify, in a fair and full hear

obviously matters worth studying, snd Mr..
Lee notes the result; at the same time

Zone thing you should have sent to

That started a demonstration that
the leaders had trouble in halting, and
came near precipitating the selection
of the colonel there and then.

again when he said that if the Pro-

a Straining against the bonds i'm
posed by the conservative elr.

radical element at the national con.
VentiOn yesterday kept things in con,
tinual uprOar, in which it was impossi
BILE to be heard. That the amount of
work done by the convention as q whole
was large and satisfactory, is due to the
we'll organized committee system.
One wild scene followed another in
the big convention hall almost from the
moment Of opening, at two-forty two
O'Clock in the afternoon. The election
of Raymond Robins, the Chicago ora
tor, as permanent chairman of the con
vention started a storm, Of cheering and
yelling that fell little short of the dem
Onstration that greeted his mention OF
Colonel Rooseyelt's name on the first
day. '...
The convention also grew vociferou,
over the motion made by James X
Garfield, and seconded by Clifford Pin
chot, for a conference with the Repub
licans in an effort to obtain a harmo
nious working understanding. In an
, nouncing that the motion had beer
carried, Mr.. Robins said that the chair
