Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, January 25.-The extra
dividend of $3,500,0Oo, which the
Northwestern Improvement Co. has just
declared and whose benefits accrue to
the Northern Pacific Railway, calls at
tention to the hidden equities" of
many. of the large railroad systems of
the country from which they derive a
substantial annual income.
The Northwestern Improvement Co.
has been paying a regular dividend OF
about 81 900 900 a year into the North
ern Pacific treasury. Owing to the fall
ing off in traffic this road would have
shown smaller earnings per share of
stock in 1929 than in 1928. With the
extra" of $500, 900 from its subsidiary
the return on the stock will be about
8.75 per cent against $50 per cent the
year previous. The money really goes
from one pocket Of the corporation to
another but 1t gets into that one which
is of most benefit to stockholders in
the operating concern.
Other Companies.
Other railroad companies that de-
pend regularly on their subsidiaries for
income to pay their own dividends and
which are in position to call on the
former for extra allowances in times
of emergency, are the Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Baltimore e. Ohio,
Southern Railway, Union Pacific and
Erie and Atlantic Coast Line.
The Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Union Pacific have the largest invest
ments in roads that are outside Of their
own family groups. To the Pennsyl-
vania, the Norfolk 81 Western has been
its most profitable investment. For this
reason It is expected that there will
be strong opposition on the part Of its
management to the Interstate Com
merce Commissions proposal that it
turn this road over to the wabash to
form q part Of the new Wabash-Nor-
folk g. WeStern-Seaboard Air Line
group. Dividends on Norfolk & West
ern common stock have been generous

viduals lost real money as well as paper
profits. The cheerful outlook Of bust
ness men in general heretofore held
was seriously disturbed and many
doubtless considered curtailing their
the evil.
On the other hand, let us remember
that the stock-market debacle was not
a war, nor an earthquake, nor a tidal
wave. No property was destroyed, no
territory laid waste.
Remembering that the total annual
realized income Of the people of the
United States is estimated to have in
creased 36 per cent In the last decade.
it may be considered doubtful If this
income has yet been seriously affected
by the decline Of stock-market quota
tons alone.

RUT the clothes that followed were the same
as usual. Secondhand clothes look mys-
tertously alike. One by one the garments were
lifted out examined, and assigned.
In the glow Of lamplght, AbigASrs face was
All peaceful trust She did not expect the ring
would be IN the top of the barrel precious
package like n bright gold ring would be packed
down near the bottom. So without fear she
saw the top things taken out and bestowed
But her breath began to come short when
her fathers cropping hands neared the bottom
OF the barrel The ring was coming now. Her
head felt light and her feet turned to Ice
This Is the last" father said, holding up a
quilted jacket for Francis
The room melted before AbiRairs eyes
Isn't there anything mOre?" she asked in
tone that was meant to be cazele1s. "a ring,
perhaps?"
Peter had forgotten that Abigan wanted a
ring: Now his heart cmtched, as he remem-
bered. He bent and gToped In the excelsior
along the bottom

his fingers touched something hard. II declare
there isn't something else"
He drew it from the depths It was q gold
ring with green stone. Abigail reached out
q confident hand and took 1t. OF course prayer
had not failed. She looked at her family as If

1T wasn't luck" Abigail answered sOaenanly,
Il prayed for it,"
Peter felt troubled.
But daughter" he said I'VE don't pray God
for material gifts. We pray to Him for spiritual
gifts, like faith and loving kindness"
Abigail put her hand on her fathers cheek
and drew his face down so his eyes met hers.
Don't you think God had anything to do
with bringing me my ring?"
Peter looked down at the clear brown eyes
lifted so trustingly to his Who was he to
deny that the Lord Of Hosts might have inter-
ested Himself in a little girls ring on Christmas
eve? Peter had always believed the goodness
OF the Lord Is made manifest even to the small
est OF His creatures 1t seemed 70 him, in that
moment, as If Abigails faith were q bright gold

I think God does look after Us, Abigail" he
said

flooded with peace and Francis was playing

He could not think Of any way to soften the
blow.

Abigail clasped her hand tight over the
precious finger The color left her cheeks.

He read her the letter. Aware that hope was
gone, Abigail threw herself on the floor and
soOOed- Mutely she extended her hand for the
ring to be removed. Peter sat down on the

on his shoulder
Daughter" he said you must have faith.
There are times when 1t looks dark for an Of
