I tried to make myself understand
that John did not want our baby. He
felt personally aggrieved because Of

how man who was SO sweet, so kind
ly, SO Altogether fascinating as John
was, when his plans were followed and
brought to fruition. could be SO dis
agreeable and utterly regardless OF the

people.

had spoken to me about children and
how beautiful the thought was that
SO great love as ours could be car
ried through generations by our chill
dren and children's children.
John, was sure, wanted one or two
children, but he wanted them, or at
least thought he wanted them, when
he was ready for them. He did not
want even natureto disturb any plans
that he might have preconceived and
was ready to put into execution.
III 1t had not been so pathetic. it
certainly would have yeen ridiculous.
I could not hear what Alice was
saying to John, but from the tone of
her voice l knew that she was not be-
ing particularly agreeable. But he did
not dare suggest that she should sit
with me when we arrived at More
lands. In fact l really believe that
with all her faults, he preferred his
sister at the present moment to Bess

As she came down the steps to the

rouged also. She was looking very
well. But what a party!

COURT UPHOLDS
COMMISSION
Public Service Finding in Re
gard to Telephone Competi-
ton Sustained by Frazer

The decision of the Supreme
Court in the Perry County Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company case
upholds the Public Service Com
mission ana establishes important
precedents in regard to rulings
against ruinous competition by tele-
phone companies.
In brief the Commission refused
to permit the community to be bur-
dened with two competing telephone
lines when one company could ade-
quately serve the community. The
Commission held that the building
of two lines, under the circum-
stances, would double the capital
Charge upon which the public would
pay, and it would also divide the
service between two companies so
that the same public would be
obliged to rent two telephones in
place of one in order to reach all
the local telephone users.
Justice Frazer, of the Supreme
Court, in rendering the opinion, said
in part: although in a sense re-
fusal to permit the construction of
competing line may be conceded
as creating monopoly and thus de-
feating the purpose the trainers of
the constitution evidently had in
mind in prohibiting the consolida-
ton of competing telegraph lines
and railroads, nevertheless before
reaching a conclusion on this ques-
ton, consideration of other matters
directly affecting the decision be-
comes important, to wit, the burden
necessarily following from the
maintenance by the public of dual
systems to provide facilities which,
in their very nature, are monopo-
lies, and also the existence of leg
islation comforting upon a public
