thing for him to do was to go back to his home in the Smiling Pool.
 Just as he was turning to do so he remembered Peter Rabbit. He knew that Peter must be not far from that little landing. He knew that when Peter had thumped that warning which had saved him from Hooty the Owl Peter had himself jumped for safety and that probably he had hidden some where close by arhong the rushes. He must be there now and very likely he didn't know that Old Man Coyote was over there. He, Jerry, wasn't in dan ger at all, but Peter was. Peter was in very great danger. Somehow he must be warned.
 Jerry dived with loud splash That kind of a splash is Jerry's danger sig nal jus as Peters thump is his danger signal. He hoped Peter would under stand. He felt sure he would. If he did he would keep perfectly still where he was until he discovered for himself what the danger was.
 And that is how Jerery Musl1rat paid his debt.

TROY

Troy, June 0-(SpeeiaL)-T. w. fin- lays gin at Goshen, big plant operating six gins, was burned down at , a. m. ta- day from an unknown cause. Goshen is F miles below Troy. The seed house. storage house and boiler rooms, in sep arate buildings, were saved. The flames mounted straight upward. and the fact that there were no menacing winds ac- counted for the saving of much of the town property. There was some insur. ance carried on the plant, it is understood.
 There is now oppositnon in all of the wards of Troy for municipal officers for the ensuing term.
 Frank P. Fomar and pr. J. M. Wat kins are opposing candidates for mayor.
 In Ward 1, W. c. Windham and Ewell Bassett are candidates for the. council '
 In Ward 2, James Wiley and Wiloo9 Boswell seek to be councilman.
 in Ward B. the candidates are Dowllng Ogletree and J. M. Dunsford.
 In Ward 4, Henry Enzor and Dr. w. s Sanders are aspirants for aldermanie honors.
 In Ward 5, Dr. J. E. Threadgill seeks reelection and is opposed by J. L. Car roll.
 Troy has had a mayor, president of the council and ten councilmen, but is gong back to the old form of mayor and five councilmen.

New President Union Pacific

One of the many reasons why Carl R. Gray the new president of the Union Pacific System. is so beloved by everyone of his employees. is the fact that he understands them thoroughly and for a very good reason--he began his career as railroad man as q helper at the St. Louis and San Fran cisco station at Fayetteville. Ark, thirty years ago, and he has since then come closely in contact with about every group of employee in the business.
 When Gray went with the Western Maryland in 1914 he was given the dual title of president and chairman of the board.
 No railroad official. save Harriman with the Union Pacific, ever before held such a position of supreme au- thority," says J. G. Donley, Jr, in Forbes Magazine.
 But Gray did not swell up with i'm portance. The disuse of his private ear tells best how he folt and acted. The passenger equipment on tho Western Maryland, when Gray took charge early in 1914 was mainly of wooden construction. Tho pEesldent's s private car was built of steel Gray used 1t only when there was nothing else to ride in. To a close acquain- tance of his he explained his aversion to the steel car by saying: How would feel ahould the train to which thls car is attached meet with an accident In which 0 passenger or one of my efn- ploycs should be killed In wooden car, while was riding safely in q steel carr"

Jerry Muskrat Pays a Debt
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

Jerry Muskrat owed his life to Peter He knew it. Of course He knew that had Peter failed to thump that warn ing there would be no Jerry Muskrat. But for Peter and his warning Hooty the Owl surely would have had a Musk rat dinner. So Jerry felt that he owed Peter the greatest debt any one can owe another; he owed him for his life.
 Jerry was very grateful and he wanted to show Peter just how grateful he was. He didn't want Peter to be in danger, but he did want to do for Peter as much as Peter had done for him. He knew that he never could feel quite right un- til that debt was paid
 When at Peters danger signal Jerry had dived with a splash into the water he had caught just a glimpse, terri- fylng glimpse, of the great, cruel claws of Hooty the Owl reaching to clutch him. It sent cold chiIls all over him, such chills as the water of the Smiling Pool even when covered with ice, never had given him. But the second the water
