Conference kcpt Secret.

What was discussed at the confer
lenCe could not be divulged by any Of
those attending it. under the media
ton rules, but it was understood that
the railroad representatives. outlined
their position in fun and indicated
how far they were willing to go in
meeting the demands of the men. II
was reported that the railroads stood
stcadfastly for the main feature of
their contingent proposition made
at the June conference, which con
ceded the shorter day but eliminated
double compensation for different
classes Of services during the same
workday
II was the failure Of the reprcseu-
tatives Of the railroads and the unions
to agree on the double compensation
clause that brought the Juno confer
ence to a sudden end and resulted in
the strike vote.
The railroad managers, in present
ing their case to the mediators, were
assisted by three experts on wages
and rates, j W. Higgins, former sec
rotary of the Association of Western
Railroads G. c. Walbcr, secretary of

board. the mediators viii hear the
railroad employees side of the case.
Then the board will hold alternate
conferences with the opposing forces,
Mr.. Hanger said. When a basis for
an understanding has been reached
the railroads ana men will be separ-
ately asked if they desire TO place
their case in the hands of the board
for final adiustieation. If the answer
is in the affirmative the contending
forces will have to abide by the de,
cision of the board
It was pointed out by Mr.. Hanger,
however, that acceptance Of the

brotherhoods refuse to accept the
good offices Of the mcdiators in

anu his sons and grandsons after him
worked in the flower beds Of King
Westels palace, and by the aid of the
magic powder killed all the ugly weeds
and grew the most beautiful flowers in
the world. Until one day the Storm
King heard of this fairy garden and
grew jealous. So he called a council
of all his sprites and asked them what
he should do. They told him of the
wonderful powder the Black Gnome
had made, which was the secret of
King Westefs success. And from that
day on he set himself to think of
way to steal the powder for his own
use. AS he sat in the palace window
one Of his sprites, called Jack Frost,
came to him and offered to so into the
court of King Westel and steal the
magic powder. And the King, know
ing he was a clever, fellow, was glad
to have him go. So the sprite ordered
himself a new white jacket and
plumed hat, and sailed forth to the
Kings court. He was very good COM
pany and soon had many friends,
among them the gardener. He was SO
interested in the flowers that he spent
most of his time in the palace grounds,
but although he saw the weeds black
and limp in the morning sunshine he
vas in the palace some time before he
ever saw the gardener with the little
box he wanted so badly, for the box
was kept in the castle vault in a great
iron-bound chest and guarded night
and day, so he knew he would never
get it unless he stole in from the gard
ener while he was busy killing weeds.
Very early in the morning he saw
the old man come up to the castle
door. and to him the guards delivered
the precious box. Very hurriedly the
sprite put on his jacket and rushed
on into the garden. The old man
was very much startled when he saw
Jack Frost, but they had become such
friends he never thought the sprite
could mean mischief. Jack Frost
pretended not to see the old mans
box at all, and, leaning over a lily
bloom said: "Ah, good morning. I
was just looking at your beautiful
flowers. You have nearly every kind
there is in the world, have you not?"
Nearly" replied the gardener. "Why.
surely you know that there is no flow
err that does not grow in my garden"
"Oh! l we'll know you have very Won
derful flowers, but there is humble
lily that grows in my country that l
have sought in vain among your flow
er beds" What is it like" said the
old man very much worried to think
his garden was not perfect. why"
said the Sprite, come and look at this

bloom and l will show YOU" AS they
bent over the lily the old man set
down the box containing the magic
powder. "See," said Jack Frost, the
stem of our lily is a bit darker and
the petals quite round at the end. It
is deep pink, and very sweet" BY
this time the gardener was all interest.
for he had never heard of such a
flower. What do you call this curl
Gus blossom, and where can l get one
for the garden Of my King" Why
SAID the naughty sprite, as he snatched
the box of powder and flew up out of
reach, when my master receives this

In the grounds Of King WesteIs pal
ace, which stands on the further Dor
der of Far-away-land, an old gardener
planted wonderful flowers. All of his
family had been in the service of the
good King, and as far back as he could
remember father and son they had
labored to make the gardens more
beautiful. 1t was always sunny in
that land, and the flowers grew all the
year round, but the ugly weeds thrived
Just as we'll, and it was a constant
struggle to keep them from springing
UP and killing all the pretty plants in
the garden. So one of the great-grand-
fathers of the man our story is about
went to the home of the Gnomes bear.
ing beautiful flower as a gift. They
are very fond Of all pretty things, and
after thanking him they asked what
favor they could do in return. "Give
me something that will kill the weeds
out of my flower BEDS" said he, land
l will send you all the blossoms you
could wish from my garden" So they
went into the great black hall, where
their wonderful FORCES burned and
brought forth a snowflake. On this
the Black Gnome himself blew until it
became great white bubble. This
he threw upon the ground of the cave,
and when it struck the hard floor it
burst into billion tiny white flakes.
The gardener was very sorry, for he
thought the bubble was the prettiest
thing he had ever seen, but the Black
Gnome called an elf, who brought a
small box. Into this they poured the
fine white powder that was all there
was left Of the Gnome's bubble. Take
this back to your garden" said the
Gnome, land sprinkle little on the
weeds and they will die even down to
the fine brown roots that live in the
ground and feed the plant. All will
be frozen by this magic powder. But
you must be very careful not to touch
the flowers with so much as a tiny
flake, for 1t will kill them too
The gardner was delighted and
went back to the palace Of King
Westel carrying the little box as tight
ly as il it were the most precious
thing in the world. In the years that
followed. the garden, free from all
weeds, became q wonderful place.
Never were lilies so snowy white even
in the flower beds OF the queen Of all
tn fairies. The palace was covered
with q great vine, red with bloom, and
the people of all the neighboring coun-
tries journeyed to King WesteIs court
to see his beautiful garden.
The King was very much pleased
and bestowed many honors upon the
gardener. For many years this man
