But when it is stated by a prominent railway offleer that vagrants cost the American railways at least $25,000,000 a year because of their depradations, the matter looks more serious. , New York charity organization soiety officer has recently received iTom a half hundred railroads in the 'nited States the latest word regard-

ing vagrancy on their lines.

W. ID Canniff, President of the New York, Chicago and St. Douis Railroad, states that on one occasion during June 103 men were ejected from one of the freight trains of the company in a journey of 132 miles. J. E. Childs, general manager of be Xe\\ Y< \ Ontario and Western, ay:, ihat there are probably 50 per cent, more vagrants passing over the line thi a a ye ir ago Typical depredations ol these vagrants are hold-ups and breaking into, cars and stations. The Norfolk A- Western reports, through its president, that the increase in vagrancy over a year ago is 25 per cent, a fact particularly noticeable in the increased robbery of cars. “We have aad,” reports the president, “infauces of brakemen and conductors being killed and assaulted in attempting to eject trespassers, and not all of these trespassers are vag-

rants and without means.”

George B. Slade, general manager if the Northern Pacific, reports that the line is more troubled with vagrants this year than ever before. They pilfer cars, set fires along the right of way, build tires inside the cars, use the companie’s shanties, terrorize the occupants of section houses and commit the various us-

ual depredations.

The Pennsylvania railroad, reporting through its president, shows that ii is thoroughly stirred up by the i amp nuisance, and during April, A!a* and June, 1908, made 3,190 arris's, as against 1,07 4 arrests, for Angus!, September and October,

Baxter.

The Silver Hess wedding was soiled ulixl for Denver. The absent minded Mrs. Graves mid Hie relentless hliz zard met in Chicago. Polly Hess had recently moved to Chicago, and when her brother's fiancee wrote that the wedding would occur directly before Thanksgiving day and would she please have a ducky frock of leaf green chiffon cloth to wear ns maid of honor Polly instantly decided that Chicago was a very big city and one in which a new dressmaker must lie sought with discretion. Upon her niusings entered Mrs. Graves, whose faculty for switching from one topic of conversation to another with lightning rapidity was as amusing to her friends as it was bewildering to new acquaintances. Said

Mrs. Graves:

“Of course I can help you out. My friend. Mrs. Baxter you never did see such clothes. By the way, didn't Mrs. Daly look like a frump at the club meeting Thursday7 Now, Mrs. Baxter, my dear—did you ever hear worse violin music than we had on that program? Her address oh. yes H72 Boulevard. Dear child, however did you train your lashes to i-nrl like thtil?" An hour later Rolind Baxter, look ing into the voudcrful violet eyes lie neath those same curling lashes, ini mediately decided that eyes, lashes and tlie owner 1 hereof had dropped straight from heaven. The Baxter maid was standing in the private hallway of the Baxter apartment explaining to Polly Hess that Mrs. Baxter was not yet up. Would Miss 11 css call Inter in the day? Mrs. Baxter expected to lie home

all afternoon.

And at this instant the eldest scion of the house of Baxter added earnestly: “You'll surely find her here about 4. Do come back. She would lie sorry

to miss you.”

Then by exerting all ids will power he managed to stand perfectly still and watch (lie violet eyed angel take

her departure.

Polly Hess walked through the sharp November air. feeling oddly be-

wildered.

“It must have been Hie place, and her name Is Baxter, but I'm afraid her prices are way beyond me. She must lie dreadfully smart, and I suppose she lias to go out late to theaters and things to see the styles, but she ought to be up by 10 o’clock. May lie she has a good forewoman. Anyhow, I am coining back. Dear me, it must lie lovely to be able to buy frocks without figuring on the

At 3:50 Roland Baxter strolled into hLs mother’s drawing room. The tea tilings were arranged on a convenient table, but the afternoon lowered, and guests would probably be few. Mrs. Baxter closed her magazine. “Anything wrong at the office, Roland?” she Inquired. “No. Just thought I'd knock off.

Hess.

“Oh. dear!” mourned Mrs. Baxter as she laid down her magazine. “I wonder what charity she represents.” Polly Hess paused, bewildered, in the doorway.

“Roland, that sounds like sleet. Ir

“The worst ever. Y’ou can't think j of going out in It, Miss Hess.” “Oh, but I must! Pleu o telephone

for a call. Mother will be so anxious.”

Baxter rang up the nearest eab sta-

tion.

“What’s that? You wouldn't send a horse out in tbi t storm? Are you running an animal tox iety or a transpor-

tation line?”

Brief silence, then a prolonged whistle. and the receiver was hung up with doe 1m hi. “No venturing out for you. Miss IIoss,” In' remarked, with unconcealed satisfaction. “It's a blizzard, the sort we usually get in February, and it's been tying up the town while we’ve been drinking lea." “Oh, but I must. Mother wHl worry. Whatever shall I do?” Polly’s cheeks were pale now, and her dimples laid faded. “Do, my dear? Why, we will telephone your mother before the wires are down,” interrupted Mrs. Baxter. “I tnvi your grii er and butcher heat the blizzard, and if you will lie my guest until the storm is over”— Impulsive Polly sprang forward and clasped tlie band nf her hostess. “You are so splendid.

You asked her about a dressmaker, and she gave you my address when she thought she was giving you the dressmaker's. That's Just like her.” The two women laughed in concert and then suddenly paused. Both had caught the rumble of masculine laughter and realized that Roland had risen and was standing, altogether expectant in attitude and expression. “My son, Miss - Do tell me your name and stop for a cup of tea," murmured Mrs. Baxter, eager to relieve the girl’s embarrassment. “Miss Hess?
