 happy death from the simple burning up Of her life forces from over-exer- ton; but this that occurred 10 her
 now was not so merclful. It might easily preclude fate that was ten times worse than death, Yet she was only glad that she had thought of it. She suddenly lifted her face. trying to pierce the pressing gloom and behold Ned's.
 T want you to promise me some- thing, Ned" she told him quietly
 He answered her clearly, from full wakefulness. What is it?"
 T want you to promise-that if you see there's no hope for me-that you'll go on-without me. Suppose Doomsdorf almost overlook us-and | you saw that he could seize me-but | you could escape-I want you to promise that you won't wait"

 Listen, Ned. Use your good sense. Say I was in place where l could't get away. and you could.

The correspondent ASSERTS that
Dublinites remark that the total es-
innate of 42.150.00o pounds exceeds
by 10,000.000 pounds the maximum
cost Of governing all OF Ireland under
the British rule. The necessity for q
large army under the present circun-
stances Is not disputed but the es-
innate of 100000 pounds is con-
sidered unduly. high.
Other estimates are also regarded
as extrayagant, especially the 3,000,-
900 pounds for the post offices. This
department Is now being conducted Mt

James was travelling up and down

panied by an old man 70 years of
age named Lang, started out to

Warm Springs to renew his supply.

DOUBLE TRACKING
STARTS IN SPRING
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO RESUME
PRE- WAR POLICY. FIRST
WORK TO BE IN ELkO
COUNTY

Work on double tracking the
Southern Pacific railroad from Wells
to Montello will be commenced
early this spring, according to word
received in Elko recently, this being
the first section to be effected by
the resuming of the policy of that
railroad Abandoned at the outbreak
of the war.
It has ben the aim of the South
ern Pacific to double track its entire
Ogden route for many years, but
owing to existing conditions the
plan has not been thought feasible
until the present time. The stretch
from Wells to Montello is a sixty
mile haul over the present line,
and the construction of a second
track between these two points will
mean a considerable length Of time,
with a good sized crew Of men en-
ployed in the work.
According to statements made by
Southern Pacific representatives the
double-tracking plans of the COM
pany provide for the first construc-
ton at points where the operating
department wishes important trains
to pass each other without side
tracking, in order to avoid traffic
delays. 1t was this consideration,
it is said, that prompted the build
ing of the double track stretch
between Oreana and Rose Greek
several years ago, this being the
only double track now in Nevada
east Of Sparks.
Notwithstanding the denial We'd
nesday, by ]. M. Fulton of the
reported Doubt track agreement be.
tween the Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific, whereby those
roads will use each others tracks
from Wells to Winnemucca, the
rumor still persists, and it is thought
that when the time comes, Mr.. Full
ton will be ready to reverse his
stand in the matter.
The news that the S. P. intends
to double-track Immediately, from
Wells to Monticello, would seem to BIZ
in harmony with the reported agree
ment, for when the rumors were
first afioat with regard to the re.
suming Of wartime relations be-
tween the two roads, one Of the
statements made was to the effeci
that the older road would commenc,
at once to double-track from Well,
east, in order that they NIGH
have two tracks the entire lenght Of
the c. p. system in the near future

STREETS ARE so CLEAN
THAT BOOTBLACkS QUIT

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS streets are
mainly responsible for the gradual
disappearance of another of Lon
don's landmarks, the relocated shoe
blacks who formerly were stationed
at prominent places in the city and
West End.
Years ago these men, who num-
bered two thousand, made sufficient
money in a few years to start bust
ness on their own account, but
slackened demand for the shining
Of shoes has depleted their number
to about four hundred, most of
whom find it hard to make a bare
living. This is due partly to men
about town being less careful Of
their appearance since the war; the
fact that there is less money in peo-
Plies pockets, and that the streets
today are much cleaner as a result
of asphalt paving on sidewalks and
macadam in roadways.

FREIGHT REDUCTION
TO WEST PROMISED

The Southern Pacific company
and the Western Pacific railroad
have announced that reduced rates
would be put into effect at once
on many articles from Chicago and
points vest to Pacific coast points
as a means of competing with Pana-
ma canal routes. In the case Of the
Southern Pacific the announcement
said the reductions also apply from
New York on the Southern Pacific
coast points. Commenting on the
changes, Southern Pacific officials
said the reductions were preliminary
to a definite policy to be adopted by
the trans-continental railroads in
making rates to meet canal compe-
tition. The reduced rates apply to
more than 100 commodities and
range from Is cents to 70 cents per
100 pounds.
