The Public Pays, of Course.

The interstates commerce commission, by
granting rate increase on the present volume
OF traffic. passes on to- be paid by the public
the wage increases of $500. 100000 4 year.
The railroads still labor from other in
creased costs Of operation, but are allowed
per cent on valuation of $1S, 900, 000, 900, and
over this the great and anxious army Of owners
OF railway. securities may greatly rejoice.
1t is now possible to do something to build
up the railroads and to stop the recurrent con-
gestions which intimately affect the prosperity
OF every man, woman and child. Other money
now brings more than per cent but the In
terest rate will not forever keep at it's present
level Confidence Is the chief thing, and if
investors can be persuaded that their principal
will be; respected. the railroad betterments can
be financed
The new rates are not agreeable to nav.
They drive another nail in the coffin of the
hope that the cost of living is to fall. Taking
the country as a WHOLE there is to be an addi-
ton Of SIS per head, or. $50 to SIS per family.

self in sight of his house, and to
his amazement he could see that

that they never used any more cleo

As Jack entered the hall, he
heard a little feminine sob, and
then the comforting words of an
other feminine voice: There, there
my dear; don't cry any more-he
has probably been detained at the
factory on business of some sort
And then he heard Betty's voice
say: Perhaps SO, but he never
stayed away like this before" Jach
rushed in, but stopped as quickly
for right before him stood his wife
and another lady, the perfect image
of Betty. In fact, Jack could hard.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a dis
couraged married girl % years old.
I met a young soldier at camp.
Heseemed SO nice and was so gen.
teel to me and my friends also that
] fell in love with him. He was
from the west. He was in France
for a long while and after he sail
ed / met another young man who
was the best thing in the world to
me. He was generous and good
and did love me SO much. He very
near died when l married the SOL
der from the west. He is and al
ways has been my best friend. He
would sacrifice anything for me.
But l would not listen to him. l
thought l did not love him, as he
never went with other girls and
was so. faithful to me. l never had
q chance to test my love for him.
I married and went west. happy,
just three months ago today. When
we reached his home it was good
at first and his people were very
nice to me for about a month.
Then things changed. My husband
was mean to me and his people
were mean to me. He sold the dia-
mond ring my friend gave me and
spent the money on another wom-
an. He would not let me go any
where. He would not give me any
money. not even to write home to
my mother. l succeeded in getting
. postage stamp and wrote my old
friend what / was going through.
He did not wait to write me, but
came to my rescue and brought me
home to my mother. l will some
day become q mother. My dear old
friend who CAME to my rescue says
he will help pe free myself from my
husband and then he will forget
the past and will marry me. Z
Will be doing this young man
who loves me- justice to marry him
after all this? l feel unworthy OF
him and ] know he loves me and
will be good to me. He is honor.
able and Christian. Oh, how
broke his heart: but I think he was

he came to me.

1t was true then! His precious lit

another man. And she had kissed
him! The thought sent a pang like
a knife through his heart. Then he

Remembering he had not had any
dinner. Jack found his way into a
small restaurant on side street,
and ordered all the appetixing
things he could think of, but when
he tried to eat it fairly made him
sick, for he could not forget that
cosey little dining room-and
Betty. Again he became angry.
Without eating a thing he paid his
check and went out. leaving behind
a bewildered waiter. Upon reach
ing the street Jack lighted a cigaret
and wondered what to do next. As
he was bordering upon the ques-
ton, he caught sight Of pretty Mary
Russell coming up the street. Now
he knew what to do. He had taken
her to dances before he was mar
ried and he would take her to one
this very night.
As she approached, Jack spoke.

he didn't finish. She had brushed
past him without even noticing him.
Then, for the first time, Jack real
lied something-he had on his
