their inability to secure reasonable
advances in rates has been chiefly
due to opposition which has come
not only in the Is per cent. case. but
in earlier rate advance cases, from
the agricultural districts, and especi-
ally from those in the middle west.

freight rates regardless of the great
changes which have been and still
are taking place in the transporta-
ton field, the farmer is injuring him
self more than anybody else. He is
losing, and will continue to lose,
much more money because he can
not get enough cars in which to ship
his products when he wants to ship

by, freight rates which are so low
as to disable the railways from pro-

Quite suddenly Sidney knew who

paper she held in her hand was hospi-
tai paper with the heading torn off.
The whole sordid story lay before her:
Grace Irving, with her thin face and
cropped hair, and the newspaper on
the floor of the ward beside her!
She picked up her veil and set the
coronet on her head. Sidney stood
with the letter in her hands. One of
KS answers to her hot question had
been this: "There is no sense in look
ing back unless it helps us to look
ahead. What your little girl of the
ward has been Is not so important as
what she is going to be-"
"Evcn granting this to be true" she
said to Christine ~slowly-"and it may

who? Somebody else in the hospital
who knew her story, of course. But
who? And again-why?
Before going downstairs, Sidney
placed the letter in a saucer and set
fire to it with a match. Some of the
radiance had died out of her eyes.
To X, sitting in the back of the
church between Harriet and Anna, the
wedding was Sidney-Sidney only.
