Kennedy sat down rather stiffly on one
of the linen covered chairs. She went to the
sofa across the room and sat so that she
faced him. She examined him quietly from
head to foot as if he were a stranger
'It is very odd" she said at length in
cool, impersOnal voice chow little we
know the opinion people really have Of u.s."
"Oddw
Kennedy seemed to have no control Of
his voice. He felt like a cad. He cleared his
throat. did you bring me here to tell me
that?" he inquired at length.
Her eyes met his evenly. "That-and
some other things" she said frigidly.
Kennedy trembled.
She looked down at the envelope in her
hand-hesitated a minute, and then lifted
her eyes squarely to his.

nOOn," she remarked.
Fer the life of him Kennedy couldn't
speak.

She slipped the letter from the envelope
and unfOlded it.
Kennedy's muscles jerked and then were
still
"The letter wasn't meant for me-" she
explained. 'Of course, the writer never in
tended should see it. 1t was sent to me
by mistake-quite by mistake
Sent-tO yOu-by-mistake? ?" Kennedy's
voice ran up and down the scale, and he
had feeling his chair was walking away
from him.
Yes, by mistake. If you have no Objec-
ton, I'm going to read it to you. 1t is
Illuminating! You see, people so seldom
tell us the truth-it is only through an
accident like this that we really know how
they-despise us!"
Kennedy had a mad impulse to get up
and run away-tO hurl himself head for
ward like diver at the doorway, but the
sound of familiar words stopped him.
Lois voice was clear and distinct. I'm
not saying I'm not in love with her, Jimmy,
old man. " she read. Its just a part of
my cOnfOunded luck 20 fall hopelessly in
love with girl like Lois Allen"
"StOpW Kennedy half rose from his feet.
What are you reading"
Her eyes clashed against his.
Just a letter received this afternoon
by mistake"
Kennedy lost control of himself
But / forbid yOu-stOp it-at once! It's
my letter. You can't go on"

letter. " I wanted to love a woman, Jimmy

She did not lift her eyes from the letter.

on calmly. 81 feel like a cad for saying
it, but she's the kind of woman, old boy,
who will be placidy selfish and-childless
in the fifties. She'll play bridge for large
stakes and always have a great many men

with jewels and fripperies. She'll be

Kennedy crossed over and tried to take
the letter from her hand. She evaded and,
turning her back, raised her voice. 1t was
bitter-strident.

call them now. 1 only know I've had the
rotten luck to fall in love with one of them,
and it's wrecked me-wrecked me, mind and

The letter slipped from the girls hand
to the floor. Kennedy looked at it in mute
horror.
Lois was whittier than the paper that had
dropped from her hand.
81 quite understand that you didn't ex-

as the Minneapolis & st. Cloud, and it
was not until 1889, after a great deal Of
development work had been done and the
original company had acquired a large
number Of other lines, that the present title
was adopted. In 1870 the Northern Pacific
started as the Superior & st. CrOiX, and
IN 1876 1t acquired the property of the
Northern Pacific, which is its present
The Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern own control Of the Chicago Bur-
lingtOn & Quincy through ownership Of
more than % per cent Of the latter's capital
stock, so that from the corporate angle
alone marriage of the three lines will be
a natural development
The total operating revenues Of Northern
Pacific in 1925 were $97 1864, 900, those Of
Great Northern tOtaleG $114924,0 600 and
BurlingtOns gross was $3.50, $4,000. Net
railway operating income was respectively,
81, ,221 ,3i9, $2S,2T6,1S3 and $2S ,917. The
total of the former figures would be more
than $31OOOO,OOO, and the combined net
railway operating income would amount
to more than S78,OOO,OOO.
Sees Economies
That these figures would probably in
crease materially after a consolidation of
the properties was affected is obvious as
there would be a marked decrease in ad-
ministratiOn expense and in the purchase Of
materials and supplies alone, which would
be in amazing amounts, the saving would
be marked.

managers and the bankers Of these lines
/ have from time to time discussed the best
methods to be employed in merging them.
/ This has been particularly true Of the
operating managers, and it remained for
Mr.. James in his announcement to verify
one of the most important railroad de-
yelOpments since the carriers were returned
to private management from federal con-
| troll.
That any immediate announcement viii
be made of the perfection of the plan under
which the consolidation will be brought
about is not considered probable, but with
several other pending mergers this one
will probably await the enactment of laws
which will remit such action. Railroad
men and bankers are expressing the hope
that the Parker bill, which will remove
some Of the difficulties out OF the path OF
railroad consolidation efforts, will be con-
sidered and made a law in the coming
session of congress, but conservative OBJ
servers in the financial district do not
/, feel that legal obstacles will be eliminated
; until some time in 1927.

THE STORY so FAR

THE STORY so FAR
This is the story Of a strong minded
man who tries q strange experiment with
a girl to try and win her hand in mar
riage. Lois Allen is the girl of many
suitOrs. Kennedy is the man. He found
the business of love was being played
along certain old well-established lines.
They stare for he movies, bu ttnstead
they drive along the highway, and Ken
edy pleads for the girls consent to mar

ugly night for Kennedy, and when he
reached home he wrote note to LOIS,
but in his confusion he slipped the note
to her in an envelope addressed to Mr..
James Hayward and the Hayward noe
in the evlOpe addressed to Lois.
And now the story
