He goes at once to Rallies charming apart ment, but Rallies is not there, and black. sick despair crushes young Bunny's spirit.
 Rallies, meanwhile, is gay and happy, more joyous than he has ever been in bis whole life, for fas- cinating Lady Gwen, who has come to mean more to him than anyone, has said she loves him and will marry him. The knowledge that his love is returned, that he must be worthy of it, brings Rallies to a firm resolve. Never again will he steal, the Amateur Cracksman has baffled the police for the last time, this will mark the beginning of a new and different life.
 When Rallies arrives home he i; carefree and content but his mood is quickly changed for Bunny, Bun ny who is almost like younger brother to him, has given in to his desperation and tried to kill himself By great good fortune Rallies find: him. before it is too late. Bunny rallies and stumblingly tells his pitt full story, the debt, the check, tn: lack of funds. Rallies listens and at last comes to q decision: he will get the money for Bunny they must spend the weekend at the estate oi Lord and Lady Melrose. Bunnyknow: no details, but Rallies is thinking ot the marvellous diamond necklace which old Lady Melrose wears. Lord knows Rallies would like to square things for Bunny honestly, but he knows no honest means of getting SO large a sum of money quickly enough. He has to put aside his resolution until this one job is done and then farewell to crime forever.

BUS TRAVEL is
LARGER IN 1890

One of the features of the 1884,
tourist season is the large number O.
people who have come from distant
points to Minnesota and Wisconsin by
motor bus.
The Northland-G Greyhound lines re-
port that their long distance passenger
transportation was larger than ever be-
fore. The eastern states predominated
in the number of passengers with New
York leading and Maryland second.
The states of Ohio and Indiana fur
nished hundreds of Minnesota and
Wisconsin visitors during the summer.
Missouri and Kansas ranked we'll and
California and western states fur
nished their share. The check was
made from tickets sold on the nation
wide Greyhound system to points on
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lines.
The number of people travelling
further distances by motor bus is in
creasing. This is ascribed by the
management of the lines to elements
of both pleasure and economy, both
of which are characteristic of modern
motor coach travel.
The Northland-Gr Greyhound lines OPP
crate 200 buses over approximately
5000 miles of highway. The nation
wide Greyhound lines are to be found
over $4,000 miles of route extending
from coast to coast. This system has
1900 buses in regular service and con-
stitutes the largest and most compre-
hensive motor bus system in the
States.
