Big Ben was just reaching the edge
of the wood. The trees were beco!N;r. :

Ben could see the white and dusty
highway that wound over field AND
mead until it passed under the gr:ll
brick walls, already looming oln!nously
in the distance, the very incarnation OF
relentless fate.
Big Ben cursed himself for q fool.
He looked down at tie little sleeping
child and laid her softly upon the
grass. He took three steps backward
and looked at her again.
NIuisie half opened her eyes and
smiled. "Big Benz" she murmured.
Swallowing a curse, Big Ben strobe
to her and raised her in his arms again.
After that he went doggediy toward

Big Ben was halting now in front II
the warden, Travis, who held Il pistol
in his hand. But he did not point it at
Big Ben. He let it fall back into the
holster.
There were tears in Travis eyes rs

Big Ben's arms and held her across his
saddle. He said not word, but mo-
toned TO Big Ben to walk in trout of
his horse.
Dogged, silent, but strangely happy,
Big Ben led the procession back to-
ward the walls of the Jail. Suddenly
he heard an exclamation behind him.
"Big Benz" shouted the warden.
Big Ben looked round. Travis had
refined in his horse, and was looking
alternately from Big Zen to Maisie's
face.
"You darned fool !" said the warden.
"Big Benz"
"Sir!"
I'm going to ride straight to the

GRAIN IS R0TT|NC
IN RUSSIAN FIELDS

PETROGRAD, Aug. 2-Bitter COM
plants about the decentralization of
the Russian railway service, especial
ly in Siberia, were made during the
Pan-Russian Agricultural Congress
which was held here recently. Ac-
cording to the semi-official "Novoo
Wremya," delegate X. P. Samtsoff.
the representative of Tjumen in ST.
IBERIA, said:
Millions of bushels of grain are rot
ting on the railroad stations between
Tjumen and Tcheliabinsk. There is
no excuse for these conditions. We
have rolling stock enough, only 1t is
not used properly. Siberia possesses
foodstuffs enough to feed Russia and
all of her allies, but our enormous
stocks go to waste in the elevators be-
cause our waterways and railroads are
clogged. The railway service between
Tjumen and Perm has to be reorgan-
lied at once. If we only get fifty cars
per day with the necessary locomo-
tives we can send thousands OF tons Of
cotton, hides, furs, tallow, butter and
grain to European Russia"
