said to favor a 20 per cent increase.
The past few months have proved that
the railroads of the country are not
earning the guaranteed return under
the existing scale of rates. Greater
income Is imperative.
Officials expect the crop moving
period and the increasing coal de-
mands to make 1t clear whether vol
ume of business will increase suffi-
GENTLY to make the railroads self sus-
tanning and place them on the same
basis of earnings as they were before
the government took them over. The
July figures will show the first effects
of crop moving and Increased coal de-
mands. but the period of heavy traffic
will not set in until August and Sep

THE PROMOTERS WIFE
NEIL'S LIFE JOB. .
CHAPTER CxVII.

Neil really was very brave. He had
a staggering load of debt facing him
after all was settled. Scott and one
or two others whom he owed large
amounts were to take payment in in
stallments with interest. When
never let Neil think I doubted his
ability to pay them.
"A life job" he had said once when
he spoke of what he owed.
All the small investors had been
paid. We had taken tiny home on
Long Island, near enough so Neil
could commute cheaply. 1 was doir g
my own work, and happy in helping
all 1 could. 1t had been more of a
wrench than I had thought 1t was
going to be to leave our lovely home,
and at the end 1 shed a few tears.
But now 1 was resigned and tried
by keeping busy to forget that we
had not only lost home. but friends
as well. OF all the society people
with whom we mad mixed only two
or three had called upon me, or no.
ticed my existence in any way after
the papers had aired Neirs troubles.
Strangly, Mrs. Powers was one of
them. 1t seemed her husband had
met Neil in the street, had stopped
and spoken with him. Nell had told
him he was trying to satisfy his Gus
toners, and Mr.. Powers had imme-
diately become interested, and had
asked him many questions. He must
have seen how penitent Neil was,
how anxious to make reparation, and
it had softened him toward US. Mrs
Powers said he had told her that Nell
was more sinned against than sin
ming, and that he had faith in him.
She only remained a few moments,
but nothing could have happened to
give Neil more pleasure. But she and
Lorraine Morton were about the only
women who sympathized in any way
with me. All save Blanche Orion.
You see Blanche had lost, too. She
had lest what Neil had paid her for
providing entertainment and suppers
for his following.
Il guess shall have to take
boarders." she had said with some
bitterness. Il have to live, and can't
do anything but manage servants and
