The Milwaukee road reports the best freight business since 1930. In its shops at Milwaukee, the line is

11 a. m., and arriving at New Orleans, 921 miles south, the second

morning at 4 a. m.

Latest innovation in the freight line, has been the co-ordination of

highway trucks with steel rails. The ! building 1.000 steeTframe ’ box cars Chicago Great \\ estern hr uls trailer I and 50 gondolas to handle expected trucks between Chicago and the Twin traffic. This despite the fact that Cities. Minneapolis and St. Paul, on the road runs through the drouth flat cars, two trailers to a car. Upon country from which shioment prosarrival at the two terminals, a trac- pects are poor.

than passenger trains ran two years ago betw'een the same points.

That freight service is improving can be noted by the fact that four times during Jmy, loadings exceeded

700.000 cars.

One of the outstanding examples of speeded freight delive y was reported to the United Pi ess by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fo. In 1925 this road moved fr. ight from Chicago to Los Angeles in 195 hours, 15 minutes. Today the run is made in 117 hours, 30 minutes a reduction of three full days and five hours. Similarly the Santa Fe had i educed running time on freight between Chicago and Kansas City from 29 hours, 20 hours, 30 minutes.

The Pennsylvania railroad hns a nerishable and dairy run between Chicago and New York in 41 hours. 30 minutes, a reduction rf 5 hours, 15 minutes from previous schedules. While the reduction in time does not seem great, bya rearrangement of departure and arrival times the train provides second morning delivery in New York, where formerly it took three days for the run. Overnight service is supplies by this line between Chicago and Cincinnati, Detroit. Pittsburgh and numerous other important terminals. Freight volume is reported improving dai'y. Most roads are running behind their maintenance schedule on rolling stock in freight service, and it is considered likely that the next six months will see an acute shortage of cars. A boom in car building seems inevitable. What the nex 1 ten years will bring in improved freight service, no railroad man will venture a

guess.

OFFERS M \V WORK PLAN OKLAHOMA CITY <UP> Roger Payne, the "hobi philosopher,” offers a four-point program for America that easily take: top place among any of the movements to the left. He proposes: A one-day woi k week. A minimum wage of $50 a week. Work for those who wish it. Travel and study for leisure time. Payne, holder of two degrees from Cambridge College, England, cites himself as an example of what a man can do by working no more than 50 days a year. He points out that for many years as a gentleman fanner in England he worked 50 days each year, and kept his books balanced. The trouble with the present system. as he sees it is that Americans are work crazy. "All we know is work. All we do is work.” And with that he advances his plan of a onc-day work week. He figures that two days of the workers' week go to pay profits, interest and rent of those who own land and machines. Another two days are taken up by waste. The waste is accounted for in inefficent machinery, idle machinery, crime, harmful drugs and general foolishness. Payne argues. Under his heading of "general fool-

Chapter VI FORT WILLIAM HENRY At Fort William Henry, Colonel Munro awaited the arrival of his daughters, long overdue. He paced Uic ramparts like a restless lion, repeatedly asking the same question of the sentry: “Any sign-of Major Heyward’s

party?”

And received always the same

j answer: “Not yet, sir.”

Suddenly the sentry pointed ex-

citedly:

“Look! There’s a flicker in the woods—like a torch light, sir.” ] Munro turned with relief to his aide. “Hurry! Send a detail to 1 guide them in.” ] The words were scarcely out of

rode along the lines, surveying th« front. As they passed a group ot Unions, one of thc Indians suddenly raised his rifle and fired into the lake, apparently at a brushcovered log floating in the water. The French general reproved him gently: “Pardon, my friend,” lie said smiling, “We brought you here to shoot Red-coats—not floating logs.” The Huron half-turned, moistened a linger, and held it up against the wind, ns he replied! "Log float against wind.” General Montcalm started. Other Ilurons were now firing; bullets splashed around the log from all corners. Tho cunning Ilurons were right. Behind tho log were concealed Hawkeye, his Indian friends, and their charges, the girls supporting themselves by clinging to the branches, the men paddling frantically with their free hands and their feet. Bullets whined past, some coming dangerously close. The swimmers redoubled their efforts; they were now quite close to the fort—in shallow water, in fact. “Well have to run for it^ ,, Hawkeye cried. As they rushed up the shore, the girls, impeded by their clinging skirts, half-dragged along by

his mouth, hnwover, when the whole wood oemed to burst into flame, dozens of bidght points of fire at intervals of fifty feet. “The French!’’ The aide cried excitedly. “Sound the alarm!” Montcalm had reached the fort ahead of time, by forced marches. The garrison was surrounded! Colonel Munro moaned. “Alice — Cora — they’ll never get through!” He had no time, however, to dwell upon his personal anguish. The alarm sounded, British and Colonial troops were pouring out from the inner stockade, muskets in hand, to man the outer earthworks. The heavy guns were swung into position — gun crews rushed forward with ammunition There began some desultory firing, but this ceased when it became apparent that tho French were out of range. Fort William Henry was little more than a log stockade, surrounded by earthworks built around heavy timbers, with a wide moat running around three sides. The unprotected side faced a wide lake, swampy on all sides and considered impassible. The French, therefore, when they invested the fort, built their own earthworks hardly extending bo the water's edge. .* Tho importance of the Fort as an outpost was indicated by the fact that General Montcalm, himself—thc same who fell later before Quebec—headed the invading army. With him were his Huron ollios—of whom Magua’s band was a part. The French were superior not only in numbers, but also in artillery. Hope for thc beleaguered forces lay in holding out long enough for relief to arrive. 1 This possibility formed thc topic of Montcalm's conversation with his aides, as the French officers

the men, Montcalm suddenly threw up his arm. “Stop firing!” he shouted. “They’re women.” The Ilurons stared at him in amazement, but obeyed the order long enough to give Hawkeye and the others time to reach the ramparts to safety. The gates were thrown open to receive them, and hastily clanged shut. Alice and Cora flung themselves into the arms of their rejoicing father. “My darlings!” Munro exclaimed. “You’re safe, safe at last.” And turning to Munro, he said: “I’m very grateful. I’ll never forget this,” “Don’t thank me, sir,” Heyward answered. “The credit belongs to this Scout, sir.” Munro turned to the Scout. “I hadn’t suspected you us an ally,” he said, smiling. “I’m mot,” Hawkeye answered stiffly. ‘iMy only reason for helping the Major was because of the ladies.” “At any rate,” Munro said, still smiling, “accept my thanks.” Alice, too, approached the scout, and laid her hand on his arm. ‘Will you come to the Colonel's quarters?” she asked. "I want to thank you, too.” Heyward observed the affection^ ate gesture, ami interposed. « “I'll attend to that, my dear, and reward him personally.” ( Hawkeye •eyed him quizzically. “Any reward I’ve got coining from you, I can do without.” And he turned on his heel and walked away. , , , , “I wish,” said Heyward irritably, “you wouldn’t be so familiar with that fellow.” Alice stared after the departing figure of the scout. “Duncan.” she said, “you’ra talking like a fool” (To be continued)
