the Santa Christina. Bianchi's railway runs
only SO far. From this point all the hauling
is done by rope-haul, slow and old fashioned
We are going to run the new road clear
across this valley and up into the lower flank
OF the Marias, where the new mines are Now,
Pug, listen to me. We sent one man down
there and he failed. The Magellans got him"
Pug's eyes flashed. 'You mean they shot
him?"
Something like that. At any rate he's
dead This isn't an easy job You've got to
conquer the Magellans first and the noun
tains afterward. I'm going to send you down
there because think you'll find room to swing
your arms. Is it go?"
An hour later Pug ran down the steps of
his East Thirty-fifth Street home and sprinted
northward to West Fifty-seventh Street, push
ing New York out of his way with both ell
bows. There was girl He explained
hreathlessly to her man-servant that he had to
see her, and she came down into the shadowy
drawing room, rather puzzled, very much fat
tered. a little afraid because it was just pos
sible that he might be drunk.
"Hello" he said 'T've come to say good
by"
-"Goodby? Where on earth are you going?"
"To Magella. Will you come with me?''
Pug put his hands on her slender shoulders
and answered seriously: II wish you'd marry
me-to-day, tomorrow I'm going on Sat
urday I'm fond of you. Crazy about you
You dance better than any girl I know
You're plucky. l don't believe you've got any
nerves. want you like the very deuce Will
you Gomez"
She shook her head slowly, looking at him
with steady eyes. She wanted very much to
marry him, but she did not approve of him.
Sparring for time, she asked: 'Where is Ma
gella?"
''In South America. Great! Funny little
town-dusty ystreets--arcades---hot as the very
devil--cocoanut palms-you know A sort
of Richard Harding Davis place."
''Is there anything to do?''
Nothing much. I'm going to build rail
way A big job. You'll see. Say you'll
come! I'm crazy about you. Honest to good
ness, never thought about marrying any one
until saw you. Answer me-are you coming
to Magela on Saturday,"
She shook her head. "You're spoiled, Pug.
People have petted you, loved you, fattered
you. 1t hasn't been good for you'.
why not?''
Don't you see? You aren't exactly trust
worthy Pug. You drink and smoke too much.
You gamble. You aren't serious about any
thing"
Suddenly he dropped her hands and his brows
met in a puzzled frown. whats the idea?"
he demanded. What, specifically,~i is the
idea?"
She just happened to be serious--a girl who
believed profoundly in virtues that bored her.
Suddenly she put her arms around him and
looked into his puzzled eyes.
"I'll wait for you. Forever, if you say. But
can't go. You've got to make man of your
self, Pug Fairchild, and make me respect YOU.

Since the last census" says the

war has cut clean across every branch
of our national life. 1t has violently
upset all birth rates, marriage rates
and death rates. 1t has altered the
whole occupatlonal and industrial

habits and conditions of the, people.
There Is hardly single question
upon which we can look back to the
results of the last census for guild

between that time and this"
Precise facts are to be desired on
the score of unemployment SO that
the man-power of various Industries
may be determined. Tho daily tide
of travel between homes and places
of employment Is to be ascertained
