to call us the crippled section.) Lewis

across from her. To give SO much
pleasure, and so easily! How young
she was, and radiant! No wonder the
boy was mad about her. She fairly
held out her arms to life.
All, that was too bad! Another
table was being brought; they were not
to be alone. But what reused in him
violent resentment only appealed to
Sidney's curiosity.
Carlotta Harrison came out alone.
Although the tapping of her heels was
duIled by the grass. although she had
exchanged her cap for the black hat,
Sidney knew her at once. A sort Of
thrill ran over her. 1t was the pretty
nurse from Doctor Wilson's Office. Was
it possible-but Of course not! The
book of rules stated explicitly that such
things were forbidden.
Don't turn around" she said swift

about. She is looking at u.s."

came content, interested again. The girl
was Undetermined. She challenged
his philosophy and gave him chance
to defend it. With the conviction, as
their meal went on, that LIE Moyne
and his companion must surely have
gone, she gained ease.
It was only by wild driving that she
got back to the hospital by ten o'clock.
Wilson left her at the corner, well
content with himself. AS he drove up
the Street he glanced across at the
Page house. Sidney was there on the
doorstep, talking to tall man who
stood below and looked up at her.
Wilson settled his tie, in the darkness.
Sidney was a mighty pretty girl. The
June night was in his blood. He was
sorry he had not kissed Carlotta good
night. He rather thought, now he
looked back, she had expected it.
AS he got out of his car at the curb,
young man who had been standing in
the shadow Of the treebox moved
quickly away.
Wilson smiled after him in the dark
ness.
"That you, JoeY' he called.
But the boy went on.

Sidney entered the hospital as pro-
bationer early IN August. Christine
was to be married in September to
Palmer Howe, and, with Harriet and

safely leave her mother.

Sidney sat alone and viewed her

the whitewashed fence with it's morn
ing glories, and at the same time, by
turning her head, view the Wilson
house across the Street. She looked
mostly at the Wilson house.

room. She could hear him tramping

the bitter-sweet odor of his old brier

Washington, March 2S.-Railroads
OF the south and southwest have
Joined with the eastern and western
lines In requesting the Interstate com.
merce commission to amend its rules
so as to permit a nationwide boost in
freight rates.
Carriers in all parts Of the country
are now represented in applications
looking to a general advance

nounced that advances on interstate,
as well as Interstate rates would be
sought
The appearance before the commits
sion Of President Harrison, of the
Southern railway. and p. F, Smith, re-
ceiver Of the Missouri Pacific, was the
first official intimation that tile south
ern and southwestern lines would ask
increased rates
President Holden, of the Burlington,
for the western roads, based his APP
location for an increase in freight rates
on six grounds, as follows: Increased
wages TO trainmen under the Adam
son law; Increased wages to other
employees, some already granted with
other likely to follow in the immediate
future; increased cost OF locomotive
fuel--coal and oil: increased cost OF
materials; increases in prices OF equip
ment. higher taxes

ing the eastern lines, declared there
was no plan to advance rates unrea-
sonably, and that all that the railroads
sought was fair treatment, expedited
as rapidly as possible, to enable them
To meet tremendous increases in OPP

What the roads propose to do, rep
resentatives OF both the eastern and
western lines declared, is to file sup

age. In this manner proceedings
could be fastened and the roads would
face a burden of 100000 to 100000
for printing new specific tariffs. The
printing OF new tariffs applying to, all
commodities also would entail a long
period OF labor which would delay the
effective date OF the increases, 1t was
said.
President Johnson of the Norfolk
& Western emphasized the import
ance of enabling the railroads to i'm
prove their terminal and yard facili-
ties. Some Of the railroads, especial

ern, have found the increased coal
cost so enormous that they have taken
preliminary steps toward acquiring
and operating their own mines.
