OF course, all the parish knew by
this time of Peters engagement
she felt as if they must all know,

and that she was broken-hcarted.
The thought stung her, she woulc

after; he could give her money and
everything she wanted. She wonder
ed desperately if the things money
could buy would deaden the pain
in her heart. She would have good
time-she would go about and see
the world-she would make herself
forget.

Nan felt as if she were pust a
mechanical figure forcing herself
to walk on, and on, and not give
way to the overpowering sense Of
weakness that seized her.
Then the mist lifted, and out Of
the silence she heard herself saying
politely:
Really. How very Interestingly"

hasty war weddings nowadays,
Miss Dudeny went on. Il don't
know that I agree with them my
self As a matter of fact, l believe
the glamor Of the uniform and the
romance Of parting is more than
half responsible for such mar
riages. But well-people must
do as they like
yes" said Nan, silly, people
must do as they like"
She echoed the elder woman's
words, parrot-lke. OF course, it
could not really be of Peter they
were talking-it was some other
man.
"And now do say you will come
and help with the church decora-
tions," Miss Dudeney said again,
and Nan realized that they had re-
ached the vicarage and had stopped
at the gate. GAS I told you, Mrs
Mears is coming, and her brother
perhaps you know Mr.. Arnott?'
Eyes" said Nan.
"And l daresay Mr.. Lyster will
come as WE'LL" Miss Dudeney went
on. "They say he is devoted--Der-
fectly devoted. Goodby, Miss Mar
raby"
"Goodby," said Nan; she just
touched the thin, cotton-gloved
hand before she turned and walked
back.
So Peter was coming to marry
Doris Mears.

words aloud. omebody l think /

annoyance.

''Im sorry" Nan answered.
He came a step towards her.

She raised her eyes to his. So
blue they looked against the startl-

something pathetic in her whole APP

There was a little pause.

that this was the best she could

There was no emotion in her

COMMU TIERS W ACE.
FIGHT AGAINST
FARE INCREASE
Demand |. c. c. Rescind
Raise

Suburban commuters are expected
to wage last ditch fight against the
Chicago & Northwestern railway be-
fore the Illinois commerce commission
at the hearing Of the proposed 200
increase in passenger fare rates.
Permission to sinerease the rates
was granted by the Interstate com
MERGE commission Monday, the
change to be effedtivs on Nov. 20.
Findings contrary to the justifica-
ton Of the increase as sanctioned by
the interstate commerce commission
may result in the overruling of the
permit by the Illinois commerce com
mission, Col. Smith indicated.
Hear Only FsiIroad Plea
Protesting conihutkrs have, as yet,
been given no OPPORTUNITY of stating
their side of the case.
The permit was granted Monday on
the railrod's plea that it was in great
need of money.
Jurisdiction Dispute
Justification for the reviewing of
the interstate body's findings is mani
tested in the belief that the interstate
commerce commissionc can decide only
in cases where commerce between
two states is involved, and that the
state commission has sole power over
commerce conducted solely within its
respective state. This gives the state
pOO1 D1iqciOn pOuya, - ~oor,,Ioto A. A..
burban fare between Chicago and
other Illinois cities.
Would Hurt Pocketbooks
Commuters contend that the effect
of the proposed increase would be felt
more or less severely by thousands of
pocketbooks. They point out that it
is possible to ride from the loop to
Ravenswood, Rogers Park, Irving
Park, Jefferson Park and Austin by.
street car or elevated for seven or
ten cents, whereas the railroad in
tends boosting the price of twenty
five ride tickets to Ravenswood to
$2.51; Rogers Park to 1877; Irving
