Kansas' railroad commission has discovered that the law against drinking strong waters on railroad trains is more honored in the breach than in the observance, and has set. ont to inforce it rigidly The law makes it a crime for any person to drink intoxicating liquors in a street car or railway passenger car while the car is being used for the transportation of passengers. The penalty is a fine of $100 or a thirty-day jail sentence, or both. The railroad commissioners have ordered that a printed copy of the statute be posted conspicuously in every public passenger conveyance. An ingenious fraud in the butter line was brought to light recently in England. In that country the amount of moisture in butter is limited by law to 16 per cent. Australian and New Zealand butters, on the other hand, usually, contain only 8 per cent, of water. Talking advantage of this fact, several firms Imported largo quantities of these colonial butters, to which 8 per cent, of water was then added, thus bringing them down to the British standard. As the added water naturally cost nothing and the product was sold at the current butter price, a substantial profit was made. State of Ohio, City of Toledo. Lucas County. ss. Frank J.

coprmivitT. CHAPTER V. A man's bcsises Sijri$ of trouble at the Enterprise A possible partnership He travels fasU est who travels alone John Varmichael Feeding the peoples of the earth. drire for Dround. IO you see that big. fat fellow talking with Mr- the j cashier whispered to me one, morning as I passed her cage. "He's Drouud's manager. Ills name is CarmiehaeL When he shows up. there is trouble coming to some one." Dround & Co. was the name of the packing firm that the Enterprise dealt with. I tied up my bundles and made up my case account, thinking n good deal about the appearance of the burly manager of the packing bouse. Pretty soon Mr. Caruiichael came out Into the front store very red in the face, followed by the elder Joyce, who had been drinking, and tbey bad some words. The cashier winked at me. The Enterprise had been doing a good business. It was run on a new Principle for those days-strlctly cash and all cut prices, a cent off here and there, a great sale of some one thing each dav. which the house handled speculatively. The brothers Joyce kept branching out. but there wasn't any money to speak of behind the firm. The Drounds .and a wholesale grocer had backed it from the start. Never theless we should bare got on all right if the elder Joyce bad given up drinking and the younger one bad not taken to driving fast horses. Latterly, no . . l v. ; l J JllJt mailer now uig u uiisiucts we uiu. iu profits went the wrong way. That evening as Hillary Cox and I walked over to the Piersona she said to me abruptly. "There's going to be a new sign ut the Enterprise before long!" The smart little cashier must have divined the situation as I had. "Cox's market?" I suggested joklngry. "Why not Harrington & Cox?" she retorted, with a nervous little laugh. We were on the steps then, aud Ed joined us. so that I did not have to answer her invitation. But all through the meal I kept thinking of her suggestion. It was nearly two years since she had introduced me , to the Enterprise, and I bad saved up several hundred dollars in the meantime, which I wanted to put into some business of my own. But it did not quite suit my card to run a retail market. After supper the others left us in the dining room, and when we were alone Hillary said: "Well, what do yon think of the firm name? It wouldn't be so impossible. I've got considerable money saved up. and I guess you have some in the bank too. It wouldn't be the first time in this town that a clerk's name followed a busted owner's over the door." She spoke in a light kind of way, but a tone in her voice made mc look up. It struck me suddenly that this thing might mean a partnership for life as well as a partnership for meat and groceries. Hillary Cox was an attractive woman, and she would make a splendid wife for a poor man. doing her part to save his money. Between us, no doubt, we could make a good business out of the old Enterprise and more too. "That firm name sounds pretty well," I answered slowly, somewhat embarrassed. "Yes, I thought it pretty good." Suddenly she turned her face shyly away from my eyes. She was a woman and a lovable, warm hearted one. Perhaps she was dreaming of a home and a family of just that plain, ordinary happiness which oar unambitious fathers and mothers took oat of life. I liked her all the better for it Bnt when I tried to say something tender, that would meet her wish, I couldn't find a word from my heartthere was nothing but a hollow feeling inside me. And the thought came over me, hard and selfish, that a man like me, who was bound on a long road, travels best aloue. "I don't know as I want to sell coffee and potatoes all my life," I said at last, and my voice 6ouaded colder than I meant to make it "Oh!" She gave a little gasp, as if some one had struck ber. "You're Tery ambitious, Mr. Harrington,w she said coldly. "I hope you'll get all you think you deserve. I am sure." "Weil, that wouldn't be much, only T am going to try for more than I deserve. See?" I laughed as easily as I could. We talked a little longer, and then she made some kind of excuse we had planned to go out that evening and left me, bidding me good night as if I were a stranger. I felt small and mean, yet glad, too, to speak the truth that I hadn't made a false step just there and pretended to more than 1 could carry through. Some time later Slocnm looked In at the door and. seeing me alone, came Into the room. He had a grim kind of smile on his face, as if he suspected what bad been happening. "Where's Grace V I asked him. "Jnst about where your Hillary Is," he answered dryly "gone off with another fellow." I laughed. We looked at each other for some time. "Welir I saKL "He travels fastest who travels alone," he drawled, using the very words that bad been In my mind. "But it la a shame. Miss Cox Is a nice woman. "So to the other." "Yes, but it can't be or anything like IV And the difference between as was that I believe he really cared. So the Enterprise market crumbled rapidly to its end. while I kept my eye open for a landing place when 1 sbooldhaTe (a. Jump, One dsjc I. was

"They can't have any more." be said. "I told you- boss so the last time I was over. I hung on, not knowing exactly what to say or do. "I guess they must have It this time," I ventured after awhile. "'Guess they must have Itf Who are you?" He thrust his bij head over the top of his desk and loofced-t tne. laying his cigar down delilerately as if he meant to throw me out of the office for my Impudence. "Oh." 1 sr. id as easily as I could, "I'm one of their help!" "Well, my son. maybe you know bet ter than I what they do with their money? They don't pay us." I knew he was trying to pump me about the Enterprise. I smiled and told him nothing, but I got that order delivered. Once or twice more, hav Ing been successful with the manager. I was sent on the same errand. Carnikhael swore at me, bullied me and jollied me as his mood happened to be. Finally he said in earnest: "Joyce's got to the end of his rope, kid. You needn't come In here again. The firm will collect in the usual way." I had seen all along that this was bound to come and had made up my mind what I should do In the event "Do you hear?" the Irishman roared. "What are you standing there for? Get along and tell your boss I'll pat a sheriff over there." "I guess I have come to stay," I replied ensily. "Come to stay?" be said, with grin. "How much, kid?" "All you will give me." "What are you getting?" "Twenty." "I'll give you fifteen to drive a wagon," be said offhand, "and I'll fire you in a week if you haven't anything better with you than your cheek." "AH right," I said coolly, not letting him see that I was ruffled by bis rough tongue. In that way I made the second round of the ladder and went whistling oat of Dround's packing bouse into the murl.y daylight of the stockyards. I liked it all. Something told me that here was my field, this square plot of Carniehael vat a burly, red faced IriaV man and hot tempered. prairie where Is carried on the largest commissariat business of tbe world. In spite of its filth and Its ugly look it fired my blood to be a part of It There's something pretty close to the earth In sll of us If we have the stomach to do the world's work.

Tbe bigness of It all! The one sure fact before every son and daugLter of woman is the need of daily bread and meat To feed the people of tbe earth, that is a man's business. My part wss to drive a wagon for Dround at fifteen a week, but I walked out of tbe yards with the swagger .of a packer! (Continued.) Some of the London England papers are giving attention to an enormous magnet which has been patented in Germany, and the Berlin correspond ent of the Standard speaking of what it is hoped it will do, eays that, placed at the mouth of a river or port, it la to make scrap iron of all the iron and steel of an enemy's neighboring IreadnouKht. throwing all the ma chinery out of gear and generally sending the monster mad. A smaller ship, it is hoped, may even be drawn out of its course altogether and swept into the port by the force of attraction and a still smaller one may be sucked right under water.
