TRIBUTE AND PRAYER.

True warriors they come-no bitter
tears are shed;
They place their flags and flowers
on soldier graves;
A short, sharp volley DER their
fallen braves,
And then a sacred silence for the
dead.
I love this custom-'tis to noble
Sweet tribute-yet II seems a
prayer beside:
And TO the principles for which
they died
, A silent pledge-a nations great
Amen!
Amen! Amen! Oh, do you hear,
you slain.
Who sleep in peaceful glory, row
on row
Here and In Flanders where the
poppies blow?
Amen! Amen! You have not died

CHAPTER XIV
The Dlpsomanlac

In day when punched money, how
ever arrogant II may be, has been
taught TO go sort of softly, the Hatch
people were careful not to make any
public announcement of the things
they were doing or going to do. But
bad news has wings OF Its own. Mr..
Norcross was still in the midst of his
mail dctation TO me the morning after
the bottom-all the different bottoms
fell out. when Mr.. Hornack came
bulging In.
"What's all this fire-alarm that's
been sprung about a new elevator

cigar as II 1t were something he were
trying TO eat "It's all over town that

phone calls asking what. and how,
and why"
The boss reply ignored the details.

briefly. "The local companies couldn't

But you can't let II stand at that.
Norcross; you simply can't"
II don't intend to-" was the even
toned rejoinder. "But anything we
can do will always lack the element
Of finallty, Hornack. while Wall Street
owns us. I've said It hundred times
and I'll say II again: the only hope
for the public service corporation to-
day lies In a distribution of its securi-
ties among the people II actually
serves"
Hornack's teeth met In the middle
of the chewed cigar.
"That's excellent logic-bully good
logic. If anybody should ask you But
we're fighting a condition. not theory.
Nobody wants p. S. L. Common even
at thrty-two. You wouldn't advise
your worst enemy to buy 1t at that
figure"
II don't know" said the boss, kind
of musingly. You're forgetting the
water that's been put into II from time
TO time by the spectators and reor-
ganlzers; there has been good deal
of that. first and last Nevertheless,
value for value, you know. and know,
that the property is worth more than
thirty-two, including the bonds. What
I mean Is that II anybody would buy

troll, mind you, and not merely a minor
ity-and handle the road purely as a

he wouldn't lose money; he'd make
money-a lot OF It,"
"All of which doesn't get us any
where in the present pinch" returned
the traffic manager. 81 suppose Wen

first move. and I've still got fight
enough left In me to hope that he'll

have forced practical consolidation

traffic manager.

Hornack bit off piece Of the chewed
cigar and took fresh hold on it.
Does he think for one holy half
minute that we're going to sit down
quietly and let him undo all the good

'He does-Sust that. He's putting

said the boss soberly. Andsthen he
went on to tell about the new grip
Hatch had on us.
OF course, Hornack blew up at that,
and what he said wasn't for publica'

the office was blue. When he got

She didn't say whether II was or
not. She was holding the bit OF paper

from the fire fell upon II when she
said: IL suppose your duty is quite
