How to Treat Obsolescence.

Any obsolescence fund, whether to
cover the temporary or permanent re-
tirement of the plant, is really nothing
more than an amortization fund for the
possibility of their becoming obsolete
and where any items are covered by
such a fund, which must necessarily
reach its full amount before the expira-
tion of the normal useful life, no de-
probation allowance can or should be
provided as the obsolescenee fund will
be sufficient to provide for the replace
ment of the units should they not be-
come obsolete before they are worn out.

created set of tense dramatic circum-
stances that might occur in any family
the head of which was governed by
principles Of rectitude and honor
Though Mr.. Porter is new to the stage

sion, for he has brought a new and
original viewpoint to world old ques
ton. Mr.. Edeson will be seen in His
Brother S Keeper, at the Auditorium

he was after.
But the moment Bill found the page

hand down on 1t exultantly. That's

Bill unsuspectingly ran out to see If
their lookout had been disturbed. The
instant he left the room Spike, watch
ing his chance, ripped the two leaves
recording Rhinelander's deeds forcibly
from the book and slowed them into
the breast of his shirt just as Bill re-
turned.

day Waterman. With a shout he hailed
them.
Bill, without h%esitating, whipped
out his revolver and fired. Spike al

stuck it in his own pocket. The watch

back into a doorway. Bill dashed

Seagrue, at his window, had been

he heard steps on the hall stairs and

the room as Seagrue opened the door
for him, threw the book of records

Seagrue opened it in haste and
looked for what he wanted, but while
the index sheets indicated the regis
try of the deeds, he failed to find the
pages where they should be. While
he was searching Bill ran in.

was leaving him. Bill told his en-
ployer the machine story and the two
went back to the outfit train to see
what condition the motor car had been
left in.
Spike came forward as Seagrue and
Bill appeared and while the latter two
examined the machine.

this crook In the machine" Bill said,
nodding toward Spike.
Where are they now?" demanded

up town getting something to eat
answered Spike.
In the restaurant, to which Storm
had taken Helen for lunch before they
should go up to the courthouse, Storm,
while Helen was ordering, took from
his pocket the note for the recorder
and gave it to her. Helen opened, re-
read and laid the note on the table
with her pocketbook. She and Storm
were just enjoying the prospect Of a
substantial meal, when Seagrue, walk
ing In, approached their table. He
spoke to them unconcernedly and,
without waiting for an invitation,
pulled up a chair and sat down with
them.
AS tactfully as she could, she made
her explanations to Seagrue about
communicating his motor car. Sea-
grue affected turbulence and declined
to accept her apologies. But he drew
a pencil from his pocket, at length,
and using the note lying beside Hell
ems pocketbook for a pad, wrote on
it an %exorbitant figure. Showing this
to Helen, he said dogmatically. That's
what it will cost, If you want this
thing settled without trouble for you"
Helen flushed a little with indigna-
ton when she saw what he demanded
but she was resolved not to quarrel.

Rhinelander will send you a check"

being caught, rose and left the table

TENTH I%NSTALLMENT
"a DASH THROUGH FLAMES"

While the fight was going IN in the
two camps, Seagrue, ignorant of what
was taking place, urged his claims be-
fore the city council in Las Vegas for
q right of way through their city prop
erty.
The council listened coldly to his
demands. And the chairman of the
ordinance committee, after a confer
once with its members, informed Sea-
sonable. "The Copper Range & Tide
water railroad has one right Of way
through the city property. We can
not grant another"
Seagrue took the rebuff calmly.
Without abandoning further effort to
his road, he stopped a passing messen-
ger boy, wrote a telegram and handed
1t to him for dispatch. What the coun-
cilmen thought of the situation did
not seem to disturb Seagrue material
ly, for having done this, he turned
again to the committee and renewed
his argument.
Helen, with Rhinelander, Storm and
Spike, was heading, in Seagrue's ma
chine, for the bridge on which they
had Just derailed the outfit car toward
camp. Storm, looking back, discov-
cred that the ditched car had caught
fire and was burning up.
IT'S small loss," said Storm. And,
anyway, it would cost more time and
money to get it on track again than
the car Is worth"
But" exclaimed Rhinelander, urg-
ing haste as he suddenly bethought
himself of the contents of the burning
car, my most important deeds are in
that car"
What do you mean?" demanded
Storm.
Il mean what l say" explained

without further words. By the time
he gained the street he had charted
the situation, imprudently revealed
through Helen's ~carelessness in guard
ing the instructions, pretty clearly in
his mind.
Returning to the train he found Bill,
Spike and Lug. Taking Bill aside, Sea-
grue called Lug owe and told the two
about Rhinelander's loss of the deeds
and the effort Helen would make to
cur certified copies of them. While
he was talking he looked at his watch.
'In five minutes" said Seagrue, the
men in the recorders office will start
for dinner. You two fellows take
Spike and go quietly up to the court
house. When the Office is empty get
the book of deeds and bring it to my
room. Bill, "a you trust Spike?"
Bill answered he thought he could.
Don't lose any time," directed Sea-
grue. You may have to hunt around
a little up there. Report to me down
at the ROOM"
Bill and his companions stepped
over to the train for a jimmie. Spike
watched them disappear and hurried
up street himself. He now made him
self responsible for a further Interrupt
ton to the lunch that Helen and
Storm were just beginning to relish.
"Seagrue," he whispered, sis up to
some work"
What work." demanded Helen in
alarm.
Don't know yet" answered Spike,
"but I'll find out"
do Spikei" she murmured, hur-
riedly. Don't let him make any more
trouble for US, will you?"
Spike nodded to reassure her, and
trotted away. When he got back to
the train Bill and Lug came from one
of the cars. Bill had a revolver in his
hand.
BIN, where's my kit%' demanded
Spike.
STOW It," muttered Bill, "and fol-

When the three shambled up to the
courthouse square, the clerks were
leaving the building and the last man
out closed the front door. Bill re-
solved to get in through a convenient
side entrance and dispatched Lug
around the building to force a back
window.
By the time the street was clear,
Lug had effected his entrance and
opened the door for his companions.
With Spike, Bill made his way to the
