RAIL GIANTS AT GRIPS FOR RULE OF INDIANA LINE N. Y. C. and B. & 0. Seek Former Midland . Road. Two railroad giants have laid down the lines of battle in IndianaThe New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio Companies both are seeking control of the Central Indiana, formerly the Midland, now owned jointly by the Pennsylvania and Big Four Companies. The Central Indiana route includes Clay, Parke, Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton. Madison and Delaware Counties. Along its lines is Brazil, with its large output for shipment of coal and clay products; Anderson, Muncie and Noblesville, diversified manufacturing, and Lapel, with canning and glass factories. Would Enter Anderson The Baltimore & Ohio, through control of the Central, would make entry into Anderson, and this possibility has aroused the New York Central. The decisive movg will be made soon, as the interstate commerce commission last March gave present owners of the Central Indiana the choice to abandon the road or dispose of it by Sept. 29. Part to Be Abandoned On at least one point, it appears that the bidders for the road are agreed. That is abandonment of that part of the line from Anderson to Muncie and from Lebanon to Brazil. ✓ Lapel shippers, greatly concerned over the impending change, have been assured in quarters not disclosed that neither of the prospective buyers of the Central would abandon within a year, or probably ever, the portion of the road between Anderson and Lebanon.

The Characters

HELEN, an ancient lady with modern ideas. MENELAOS. her husband while she stayed at home. HERMIONE. her daughter and eeverest critic. ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have ambitions. ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling: philosopher by instinct: moralist by observation. ADRASTE. handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else. CHARITAS, the lady next door. DAMASTOR, a bov who strayed from the family doorstep. Eteoneus bring word that Agamemnon, returned to his home from Troy, has walked into a trap set by his wife. Clytemnestra and her lover, Aegisthus. Orestes, clad in Menelaos' armor, loaned to him by Eteoneus, has started for home to save or avenge his father. Charitas hurries over to get the particu--lars from Helen on Agamemnon’s, return. Os course, husbands come iiom# and leave home quite frequently, but. Agamemnon’s home-coming was fraught with possibilities —of a good story. Hence Charitas elt the dishes go and hastened over. . NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VI “Hermione, my dear, I came as soon as I aeard the news. I hope Helen is at home.” “She isn’t, Charitas—she's out this afternoon, I’m sorry to say. Come in and let me be a poor substitute.” “Dear chifd, not poor at all! The moment I heard that Agamemnon was back, I said I must come right over and tell Helen how glad I was. Dear me! You’ve heard from your aunt, I suppose?” “No, we haven’t heard from any of them directly. A man brought the news that Agamemnon is home again. Mother told me. Father has sent him an invitation to spend a few days with us as soon as he’s at leisure.” “Your uncle, Hermione, is a very distinguished man. You ought to be proud of him. I never could understand why your aunt didn't appreciate what .the had—most women would think themselves well off with such a husband.” “Perhaps she doesn’t want to be well off,” said Hermione. “Mother always seems annoyed when one speaks respectfully of ordinary comforts and of an established life They seem to have their own notion of success. But I ought not to speak so of my aunt, r dare say she does appreciate her husband —what she has seen of him.” “My dear child, you don’t mean to pretend you haven’t heard how Clytemnestra’s been going on? Os course you have! It’s the most general subject of conversation amoall the friends of the family. But you can’t say she appreciates Agamemnon if she’s living with Aegisthus.” “I don’t feel that I know much about such things, Charitas, but 1 fancy I can understand my aunt’s point of view, at least to a degree. Orestes—my cousin, you know—is devoted to her, and I always remind myself that so fine a man wouldn’t care for a person with no virtues whatever.” “Perhaps he’s merely dutiful,” said Charitas. “In any case, I’m glad to hear that of Qrestas; I had thought him perhaps a bit too advanced in his ideas. But Clytemnestra seems to me undoubtedly—ls don’t suppose your uncle will take her back? You raid you hadn’t heard.” “She is back, isn’t she?” said Hermione. “She never was away. I dare say they’ll quarrel, but I repeat, Clytemnestra has some things on her side, and I reserve my judgment till I know much more than at present I do.” “Has she something on her side? I didn’t know that! Has Agamemnon been—? Well, it’s not to be wondered at; men always are. Do tell me, Hermione! I’ve missed it entirely—l don’t see how.” “It’s perfectly simple,” said Hermione, “if you know them both. Agamemnon is high-handed, and Clytemnestra is high-spirited. What more do you need for a quarrel? Then there was Iphlgeneia, their daughter. My uncle did a dreadful hting—he offered her as a sacrifice 'for a favorable wind.”

“Hermione! How awful! And I suppose it wasn’t favorable, after all.” “Yes, it was,” said Hermione. “That’s when they sailed for Troy. Orestes says—” “Hermione, my dear, I doubt if Orestes is a good influence upon you; he seems to talk—and think—as I should expect of his mother’s child. I suspect Orestes. I hope you won’t allow yourself to admire him too much!” “I doubt if I admire him too much,” said Hermione. “I’m sure you don’t,” said Charitas. ‘Really, Hermione, it’s a mystery to me how you have kept your ideas of life so steady and so high, with such etxraordinary performances going on around you. You know I’m devoted to your mother, but—you won’t mind my saying what even those who love her best agree in—she’s not an ideal parent. “She’s too much preoccupied with love, as if that were the whole thing in life. Common sense goes further, I say. And a little skill to plan and contrive. These people who give way to their feelings, Hermione, they’re simply a burden on the rest of us. Such respect as they have for their instincts and their impulses! I hope you’ll never go in for an emotional career. “I’ve always tried to suppress Damastor.’s impulses, or at, least to keep his mind off them. So far I flatter myself I’ve succeeded. Don’t you think he’s a dear boy, Hermione?” “I haven't seen enough of him, Charitas, to know whether’s he’s a dpar boy or not. He’s very civil to me when we meet.” "Civil? Why, Hermione, he's devoted to you—he’s really dead in love with you! There’s no reason why you should be coy about it—with your mother, your old friend. I know his feelings on the subject. “That child tells me everything. He often stops in my room to talk after he has been over to see you.” “What does he tell you, Charitas? Because, he never comes to see me. I haven’t had a word with him for weeks and weeks.” “Hermione! I feel faint! Damastor! . . . Don't tell me that—the boy wouldn’t deceive me.” “Charitas, I’m sorry to tell you, locltoaatttiogganoTOpan

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

but once before, or several times, you’ve hinted that Damastor was in love with me. I couldn’t discuss a hint of that sort, but it worried me. because Damastor has shown no interest in me at any time. I didn’t like you to have a false impression.” “He said—he always says—merely that he is coming over here to see you. I thought he meant—” “I think he meant he was coming over here,” said Hermione. T don’t doubt he came. And I don’t doubt he infatuated with a girl. There’s more than one woman in this house, Charitas.” “Don’t tell me it’s—your mother!” “No, for a wonder, it’s not. My guess is—of course I don’t know—it’s Adraste.” * “And who is Adrastee?” “You know—you’ve seen her—the girl who attends my mother.” “The one who came with Helen to my garden? Hermione! She’s very beautiful.” “She certainly is—if you like the type.” “How awful! I dare say she has no character at all. She’s a nobody, at best. And constantly with Helen! Hermione, why do you think Damastor’s infatuated with her?” ' “They’ve been together a good deal—l’ve seen them walking and talking, when they perhaps supposed themselves alone. He’s only a boy, Charitas, and she’s a scheming little thing, if I guess right. I may be wrong, but I imagine Damastor has fallen into her clutches.” “My poor boy! My poor boy! I might have known. This is your mother’s doings, Hermione! I’d spare your feelings if I could, but I must say that woman has paid me shabbily for my loyalty to her—even whenj knew she didn't deserve "Well, I can save Damastor yet. I’ll send him away where that girl can’t get hands on him. He’ll forget her if he sees a little more of the world. I’ll send him to my brother’s for a visit. If she ever speaks to him again, it will be at my funeral!” “On the whole, I think you’re wise,” said Hermione. “Damastor is too nice a boy, I’m sure, to have his life spoiled by the wrong kind

of woman. I’d be sorry for any well brought up man who chose Aoraste. I’m glad that Orestes, so far as he knows about her, doesn’t like her at all.” (To Be Continued) Free From Neuritis and Kidney Pains Suffered Six Years Before Finding Way to End Trouble Quickly. Neuritis is bad enough, but George L. -Petit, 515 E. Ash St., Freeport, 111., had plenty of other troubles in addition. Today all his pains are gone. His letter states: “I had severe kidney trouble for six years. My back was so lame and sore I was in constant agony. I had frequent attacks of splitting head-aches, and was so constipated I had to .take laxatives all the time. Finally, neuritis came on, with all its intense pain, especially in my left arm and between my shoulders, and I was in such misery I was ready to despair. One day I read where Viuna had relieved a case like mine. I am glad to say it did the same for me. First, it gave prompt relief from the sharp, stabbing pains of neuritis, and soon I was almost free from them. A little later, my kidneys righted themselves, the back-ache and head-ache disappeared, and I am feeling fine in every way. My constipation was relieved, and I am eating heartily, sleeping soundly, and gaining back my lost weight. The change has come so, promptly that it seems almost too good to be true. I only wish I had known of Viuna years. Viuna acts promptly bn sluggish bowels, laty liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digostion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you’re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. , VIUNA The Wonder Medicine
