Christine hummed aoftly to heraelf
na ahe mixed the flour and butter to n
ple-cruat thickness The soft sum-
mer breeze came through tho win
dow looaenlng tho rippling lock of
her aqulrrel-colored hair Her peach
like cheeks were flushed and her blue
eyes were dancing In the felicitation
of her meditations
"And Rob comes home Uvday!” ahe
mused "I wonder If four years have
changed him tnnch — three years at an
eastern college and one year abroad
can do so much for n man And what
have four years done for me except
to make me twenty Instead of six
teen?"
She sighed as sho thought of her
few advantages nnd plunged her
hands anew Into tho soft white cling-
ing dough
"And there la inch n difference In
our conditions of life and those of the
Thornleya" ahe continued In her rem-
iniscence picturing the big stone
houie on the hill with Its sweep of
lawn driveways nnd lta retinue of
servants "Our little home will aeem
so crude to him though he nsed to
stay here more than he did at his
own home but of course he waa only
n boy then nnd wouldn't notice things
ss now after bis four years In n world
of fashionable folks I wonder If he’ll
he blase and bored T No!" ahe con-
cluded contradicting the thought
"Rob could not change from the frank
Impetuous boyish fellow he always
was And I will see him to-night at
the fete at his house" and ahe smiled
happily thinking of the shimmering
white dresa ahe was to wear
Christine ever combined comfort
with cooking She did her baking or
made her preparations for baking not
In the heated kitchen but In n little
room that opened Into n latticed
porch All conveniences materials
nnd utensils wero In easy reach
She transferred the dough from the
mixing bowl to the board and had
just begun to roll It Into flatness when
there wss n knock at the open door
behind her She turned end saw
good-looking well-groomed yonng
man regarding her with admiring
mischievous eyes They continued
looking at each other In silence for
n few seconds and then be said:
"Aren't you Christine WendonT"
"Tea" ahe replied "but I do not
recall—"
"What! Have you forgotten me—
your old friend Rob Thornley!" be ex-
claimed reproachfully
She smiled Incredulously
‘You are not Rob Thornley though
I admit there la a strong resemblance
Tou must be a relative"
"Ton are right Mlsa Wendon I am
John Stanley Rob’s cousin We are
frequently mistaken for etch other
even by the people who know ua well
He suggested that I come down and
see If you would be deceived"
"I am glad to meet you Mr Stan-
ley" the said "and I am sorry that 1
cannot abandon my pie at tho present
stage of Its existence If yon will
please go through the bouse to the
sitting-room or around the house to
the porch 1 will Join you as soon na
t can"
"But I prefer to stay here" he re-
plied pleadingly "1 rang the bell
pled elbows Ha liked too the per-
fect little air of unconcern she showed
at the Intrusion of n stranger
'What made you so sure 1 was not

She reflected n moment
"1 Just felt it" she replied "when
you just spoke and then though the
resemblance In there there la n dif-
ference" “Where? Features expression — "

ing — "

HIGH SPEED ON RAILWAYS
Hundred Milee an Hour Must Ba Mads
on Separata Tracks
A study of the net results of the
German experiments on the Berlln-
Zossen railway with trains electrically
propelled at high velocity appears to
have led thoughtful railway men to
tho conclusion that any attempts to
force train acceleration on steam rail-
roads would be destructive of rolling
stock nnd permanent way nnd Inci-
dentally of passengers nnd train crews
Aa pointed out in the paper of Dr
Frederick Schults before the Interna-
tional Railway Congress the beat type
of modem railway equipment can be
operated safely at speeds of more than
100 miles an hour provided n clear
way can be assured
This is exactly the difficulty which
It would not seem possible to over-
come In n railroad operated (or n
mixed trnfllc At n speed of 100 miles
an hour unless ths weather la quite
clear track signals cannot bo dlstlne
gulsbed clearly enough to bo read
with certainty This means that n
railroad devoted to very high speeds
would need to be divided into long
blocks nnd before n train entered
upon n block lta conductor must know
that the road la clear
Such blocks would need to bo ap-
proximately n hundred miles long
which means the surrender of every
other kind of traffic which now keeps
out of the way of fast trains by tak-
ing sidings or otherwise temporarily
withdrawing Itself from tho track
which belongs to tho "flyer" An n
matter of fact this would mean separ-
ate tracks for high-speed trains over
or under the other tracks with abso-
lutely no grade crossings nnd no
points or switches by which slower
moving trains could have access to
such tracks Anything like a coinci-
dent movement of freight nnd passen-
ger traffic would be Impossible— New
York Times
"And Rob comae home to-dayl"
nnd no one responded so I Investigat-
ed the kitchen precincts as yon see
Cant I stay nnd watch you make plea?
Wo shouldn't be formal yon know
na long ns I am n cousin of Rob's
nnd he nnd you such frlenda"
"Very well Will you please get a
chair from the kitchen?"
"No I like this one" be replied
seating himself on the broad sill of
the window nnd watching her deftly
"thin the cruit" He thought that
ehe was very coot nnd dainty-looking

Came up to him smiling
tinned Ignoring the Interruption
"and not so Jesting aa yours He
combe hie hair differently — "
" Ton my word! you must have ob-
served Rob very closely and you must
have kept his lineaments in your mem-
ory remarkably well"
The pink flush that crept over Chris-
tine's face was most delicious nnd
fascinating to watch
"Why you see he was over here
every day since I can remember np
to four years ago and since then he
has sent me pictures of himself at
frequent Intervals but why didn’t he
come down with you?"
"Why we only arrived n couple of
hours ago and bla mother wanted
him to superintend tho decorations for
to-night so he suggested that I come
down and see If you would not mis-
take me for him— but oh Is that the
wey you do It?” he asked as she
fitted the dough to the Una and trim-
med off the superfluous edges
"Didn't you ever see a pie made be-
fore?" "Not In years What are you going
to put In It?”
"Cherries"
"My favorite pie! May I stay to
luncheon?"
"These are for dinner to-night"
"And I can't come down then" he
said In such aggrieved tones that
Christine laughed and went to one of
tho shelve nnd took down n llUle
patty-pan
' "I'll make you n little pie all for
your own nnd you can take it home
with you"
"Really?" he asked In delighted
tones watching her prepare It She
put It with the larger ones In the
oven nnd then began the making of
n salad dressing
When the pie was pronounced
"done" he ruefully declared that he
must depart
"They told me they needed my help
and I waa not to stay but n minute
That reminds me Rob said to ask yon
to save him the first and last
waltxes" i
"Tell him I wilt"
"If you give him two 1 think yon
might be ns generous with me Will
you give me two?"
"I will give you one" she replied
demurely
"And will you come early to-night?"
he asked eagerly
"Yes I am anxious to see Rob"
Throughout the day her thonghta
were as much with the handsome
cousin as with her old schoolfellow
When Mr nnd Mrs Thornley nnd
their son Rob stood In receiving at-
titude In the doorway that night one
of the late nrrlvala was Christine n
slender graceful girl la white Rob

Grand Jury on Teamsters’ Strike
Concludes lta Labors
CHICAGO: The grand Jury which
haa for the past month been at work
Investigating the teamsters striker
haa returned forty-nine indictments
Most of the violators of the law have
been found to be union men who tho
grand Jury accuses la no uncertain
terms of "preying upon the com-
munity and workingmen for yearn"
Prominent among the Indicted are C
P Shea president tho teamsters’
union nnd John C Driscoll known
na the "mediator" who la alleged
to have received several thousand dol-
lars in the past two years for calling
strikes In spe&ing of the charges
against Shea the grand Jury says:
"That money was paid to Cornelius
P Shea or that money waa tendered
to him by representatives of tho
packing Industries to settle the stock
yards strike has been demonstrat-
ed to thla body that Shea haa bene-
fited by demands mads for money on
representatives of capital ban been
abundantly established by eatlafae-
Vry evidence
That Cornelius P Shea In one
week'a time forwarded 91000 In three
respective amounts haa been estab-
lished by the pntywho sent th's
money to Shea's wife then living In
Boston That by this net Shea’s
'conservatism and thrift is shown to
be exceptional when it is known that
his only source of income Is derived
from his office as president of the
Teamsters union which pays him
9150 n month in salary and In tho
event of a strike 9250 n day for hla
Individual expenses
"That not alone Eh a hut the
ether leaders Indicted have lived on
the fat of the land spending more
money in dlssapatlon than many na
honest member of the labor union It
able to earn for the support of hW
wire nnd family has been established
beyond question"
The report declares:
Slugging haa been paid for by cer-
tain vicious interests at the head of
certain labor organizations"
Coming down to tho teamsters
strike In Chicago the grand Jury re-
ports ns follows:
"Wo believe the present teamsters’
strike to have been born In Iniquity
nnd that though many honest labor-
ing men were led to believe n so
called sympathetic strike waa advis-
able nnd Just we feel satisfied from
evidence presented to ns that n very
few of the principals at the head of
the Teamsters’ union were nnd are
responsible for Its inception nnd con-
tinuance that their pockets might
Jingle with nnholy gain"

where he happened to be on business
Hla host had recently married n sec-
ond wife more noted for beauty and
wealth than for Intelligence It waa
near the middle of March nnd n storm
was coming on which the husband re-
marked would probably be the equi-
noctial gale
"What do you mean by that? Is It
the same aa the line gale?" she naked
The husband replied in the affirma-
tive nnd In reply to further questions
told her It waa usual to expect a
storm twice n year when the sun
crossed the equinox
"That day at dinner" said Mr
Blaine T remarked upon the severity
of tho storm nnd my hostess with an
engaging smile replied: "Yea Mr
Blaine lent It singular that we al-
ways have such n fearful storm when-
ever tho aun crosses the Penobscot?
Before I could frame n reply my host
In n tone of mild surprise exclaimed:
