Teople who have occasion to travel much over the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago electric lines aro generally lmpressod with the improvement that has been mado In the service of late, especially since the new side tracks have been put In, but there Is etlll a matter that should be taken up by the company and solved before the service will be all that it should be. The matter of making connections at Kast Chicago, between the Whiting and East Chicago and Hammond cars at the " four corners" In Hammond, between the East Chicago and Hammond and the "short line" cars Is Important Time and again "Whiting cars will arrive In East Chicago just In time to see a Hammond car pulling out and yet It Is Impossible for the passenger to make his connections. It la also a frequent occurence In Hammond for a passenger who has come from East State street to arrive at the four corners just In time to miss a short line car to South Chicago and Sixty-third street. A wait of 20 minutes Is not a long time for some people but for the business man who has to make every minute count it is quite a loss. If It were a matter of making connections with the cars of another company these delays might be expected but it would ecm that a schedule could be arranged on the lines of the same company so that, in the majority of cases at least, connections could be made. If the time allowed for the various runs would bo made elastic enough bo that a car could wait at least a minute or two a great many connections could be mado that are now Impossible. It Is rather disappointing for the passenger to arrive in Hammond just In time to see his car pulling out for South Chicago when a minute's wait would enable him to take the departing car. This is a problem worthy of the best efforts of the supervisor of traction. THE "MARRIAGE MILL" RIGHTS.
The matter of the county clerk's legal right to Issue marriage licenses in
Hammond has been brought Into question and It has even been suggested that
marriages performed under licenses granted here, are not technically the real thing.
The abolition of the branch office here was a bad blow to Hammond, but It
was always regarded as a merely temporary arrangement. Scarcely anybody ever doubted that eventually Hammond would resume its relations to Chicago as Gretna Green. The office meant a great many thousands of dollars annually
rto this city and while Its removal was deplored, the temporary nature of the
abolition as it was believed to be, helped some in reconciling the city to its
loss.
If there is any wav of re-establishing the office In this city, every means
of trying to bring this about, should be tried. Hammond should not allow
Crown Point to put anything over on a mere bluff but should fight the matter f n tb a en.i However. If after due process of law it Is determined that
Hammond has no claim on the office, those interested might as well bo mag
nanimous and bring up no technicality which will serve merely to "kill the business" at the county seat as has been threatened and will accomplish no
good purpose for Hammond. This attitude would smack too much of the dog in the manger spirit and would servo only to enhance the bitterness which in a
measure now exists between the two cities. If by means of the technieality
the Hammond people threaten to bring up, any good could accrue to Ham
mond, all well and good. But If it will merely work harm to Crown Toint

ifopyr.stt io. !. i y.rr,.i Co.) (Continued.) "I was attending to a little work of ray own," I answered, after greeting. If I felt much like a disconcerted pickpocket I was careful to conceal the circumstance, and spoke with easy Indifference. "You have come back before I expected you," I continued carelessly. "Yes," said the King of the Street with equal carelessness. "Some family affairs called me home sooner than I had thought to come." "Mrs. Knapp Is not ill, I trust?" I ventured. "Oh. no."
"Nor Miss Knapp?" "Oh. all are well at the house, but
sometimes you know women-folks get
nervous." Was it possible that Mrs. Knapp
had sent for her husband? What
other meaning could I put on these words? But before I could pursue my investigations further along this line, the wolf came to the surface, and he waved the subject aside with a growl. "But this is nothing to you. What you want to know is that I won't need you before Wednesday, if then." "Does the campaign reopen?" I asked. "If you don't mind. Wilton." said the Wolf with another growl, 'Til keep my plans till I'm ready to use them." "Certainly," I retorted. "But maybe you would feel a little interest to know that Rosenheim and Bashford have gathered in about a thousand shares of Omega in the last four or five days." Doddridge Knapp gave me a keen glance. "There were no sales of above a hundred shares," he said. "No most of them ran from ten to fifty shares." "Well." he continued, looking fixedly at me, "you know something about Rosenheim?"
"If it won't interfere with your j jdans. I suggested anJoeUcrj,
The Wolf drew back his lips over his fangs, and then turned the snarl into a smile. "Go on," he said, waving amends for the snub he had administered. "Well, I don't know much about Rosenheim, but I caught him talking with Decker. "Were the stocks transferred to Decker?" "No; they stanfl to Rosenheim, trustee.' "Well, Wilton, they've stolen a
march on us, but I reckon we'll give
em a surprise before they're quite awake." "And," I continued coolly, "Decker's working up a deal in Crown Diamond and toying a little with Confidence you gave me a week to find out, you may remember." "Very good, Wilton." said the King of the Street with grudging approval. "We'll sell old Decker quite a piece of Crown Diamond before he gets through. And now i3 there anything more in your packet?" "It's empty," I confessed. "Well, you may go then." Doddridge Knapp followed me to the door, and stood on the threshold as I walked down the hall. There was no chance for spying or listening at key-holes, if I were so inclined, and it was not until I had reached the,
ottom stair that I thought I heard
the sound of a closing door behind me.
As I stood at the entrance, almost
oblivious of the throng that was hurrying up and down Clay street, Porter Joined me.
"Did you see him?" he asked. "Him? Who?" "Why, Tom Terrill sneaked down
those stairs a little bit ago. and t
thought you might have found him up
there."
Could it be possible that this man
had been with Doddridge Knapp, and
that it was his voice I had heard? This in turn seemed improbable, hardly possible.
'There he is now," whispered Por
ter.
I turned my eyes in the direction he
indicated, and a shock ran through me; for my eye had met the eye of
a serpent. Yes, there again was the
cruel, keen face, and the glittering, re
pulsive eye, filled with malice and
hatred, that I had beheld with loath
ing and dread whenever it had coma in my path. With an evil glance Terrill turned and made off In the crowd. "Follow that man, Wainwright," said I to the second guard, who was close at hand. "Watch him to-night and report to me to-morrow." I wondered what could be the meaning of Terrlll's visit to the building. Was it to see Doddridge Knapp and get his orders? Or was it to follow up some new plan to wrest from me the secret I was supposed to hold? But there was no answer to these questions, and I turned toward my room to prepare for the excursion
that had been set for the evening. It was with hope and fear that I took my way to the Pine Street palace. It was my fear that was realized. Mrs. Bowser fell to my lot, while Luella joined Mr. Carter, and Mrs. Carter with Mr. Horton followed. Corson was waiting for us at the City Hall. I had arranged with the policeman thftt he should act as our guide, and had given him Porter and Barkhouse as assistants in case any should be needed. "A fine night for it, sor," said Corson in greeting. "There's a little celebration goin' on among the haythens to-night, so you'll see 'em at their best." Looking across the dark shrubbery of Portsmouth Square and up Washington street, the eye could catch a line of gay-colored lanterns, swaying in the light wind, and casting a mellow glow on buildings and walks. "Oh, isn't it sweet! So charming!" cried Mrs. Bowser, as we came into full view of the scene and crossed the invisible line that carries one from modern San Francisco into the an
cient oriental city, instinct with foreign life, that goes by the name of Chinatown. Scrrdid and foul as it appears by daylight, there was a charm and romance to it under the lanternlights that softened the darkness. Crowds of Chinese hurried along the
streets, loitered at corners, gathered about points of interest, but it seemed as though it wa3 all one man repeated over and ever. "Why, they're all alike!" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser. "How do they ever tell each other apart?" "Oh, that's aisy enough, ma'am," replied Corson with a twink?fe in his eye. "They tie a knot in their pigtails, and that's they way you know em. "Laws! you don't say!" said Mrs. Bowser, much impressed. "I never could tell 'em that way." "It is a Strang resemblance," said Mr. Carter. "Don't you find it almost impossible to distinguish between them?" "To tell you the truth, sor, no," said Corson. "It's a trick of the eye with
j you, sor. n you was to ce here with i 'em for a month or two you'd niver
think there was two of 'em alike. There's as much difference betwixt one and another as with any two white men. I was loike you at first. I says to meself that they're as like as two pease. But, now, look at those two mugs there in that door. They're no more alike than you and me, as Mr. Wilson here can tell you. sor." The difference between the two Chinese failed to impress me, but I wa3 mindful of my reputation as an old resident. "Oh, yes; a very marked contrast," I said promptly, Just as I would have sworn that tey were twins 11 corson had suggested it. "Very remarkable!" said Mr. Carte" dubiously. (To be CoutiauddO
