CHAPTER V-Continued.

The mole in question lived under a
piece of rock wall near the garden
fence.
Wben Uncle Joe came home to din
ner on one particular Saturday he
walked down to the corner of the gar
den fence, and there saw the havoc
Prime had wrought In following the
line of the mole's last tunnel he had
worked his way under the picket fence
and had torn up two currant bushes
and done some damage in the straw
berry patch.
"And the worst Of 1t is" grumbled
the hardware dealer, "he never caught
the mole. That mOngrel really isn't
worth bag of dornicks to sink him in
the brook. But that's what he's going
to get this very evening when 1 come

Carolyn May positively turned pale
as she crOuched beside the now
chained-up Prince, both arms about
his rough neck. He licked her cheek.
Fortunately, he could not understand
everything that was said to him, there
fore the pronouncemeRt of this terri
BILE sentence did not agitate him an
atom.
Carolyn May sat for long time un-
der the tree beside the sleeping dog
and thought how different this life at
The Corners was from that she had
lived with her father and mother in
the city home.
IT only that big ship, the Dunraven
had not sailed away with her papa
and her mamma!
Carolyn May had been very brave on
thac occasion. She had gone ashore
with Mrs. Price and Edna after her
mothers last clinging embrace and her
fathers husky "Good-by, daughter

fatal news of the sinking Of the Dun
raven and the loss Of.all but a small
part Of her crew and passengers.
Vaguely these facts had become
known to Carolyn May. She never
spoke of them. They did not seem rea

man.
"Yes, Uncle joe"
"Humph!'' calculated the hardware
dealer again. II believe you think
more of that dog than you do of me-"
"Yes, Uncle joe"
The frank answer hit Mr.. Stagg
harder than he would have cared to
acknowledge.
"Why?" he queried.
Because Prince never said a word
to hurt me in his life!" said Carolyn
May, sobbing.

Possible Increase in Revenue.
AS to a possible increase in revenue
the companies will derive from a
stimulation of traffic, Mr.. Beeler
states that this will be difficult to
calculate.
There is no doubt he says, "but
that improved transportation facili-
ties will tend to increase street rail-
way traffic. The volume of this traffic
is dependent on SO many factors that
an estimate is impossible. Whatever
the actual amount of the additional
net revenue received from this source
might be, it would tend to reduce the
loss of the companies due to the reve-
nues now received on account OF
double fare passengers.
IF the use of intercompany trans
fers results in loss as shown in the
foregoing, of approximately $4,000 to
the Capital Traction Company and
$4,000 to the Washington Railway
no increase from a stimulation of
traffic, the reduction in gross operat-
ing revenue to the Capital Traction
Company (based on the year 1910
would be LOSS per cent. Similarly
Che loss in gross operating revenue to
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company would amount to 1.165 per
cent. The increase in gross revenue
due to the increase in rate of fare has
not been considered in the above.
Suggests Trial of Plan.
Mr.. Beeler proposes that the trans
fer arrangements outlined in his re-
port be given trial during a period
sufficient to determine what the exact
financial results will be- If it de-
velops after this trial, he states, that
an injustice is being done the COM
parfes by the issuance Of free inter-
company transfers. an ARRANGEMENT
should be made by which the COM
panies will receive adequate compensa-
ton.
Many intersections are not recon-
mended for transfers. These are the
intersections at 4th street and Flori-
da avenue, 4th street and New Jer-
sey avenue, New York and New Jer-

The principal reasons advanced
against the establishment of trans

would afford an opportunity for max
ing a round trip on one fare and would
result In duplication of service.
