If she has, and if she has anything to do with the tragedy, she would make suspicion point to ycur brother if she was a woman of that kind. On the whole I shall make it ray business to meet this creature." "I had not thought of that," Elsie said, with a pale face. "Still," Lionel went on.

"if the worst comes to the worst, Dick must tell the truth at all hazards and clear himself. Already an Idea has occurred to me. I feel as if I was making up a new story which fascinated me. Where are you staying?" "I am still at the old place." Elsie explained. "If you want to see me" "I will calL I will come and see you to-morrow night at half-past ten.

It is a little late, but I have much to do in the meantime, Elsie. I am glad you came; I am glad to find that you are mistaken in 'Rodney A little later, perhaps Lionel checked the warm words that rose to his tongue. But Elsie understood, for her face flushed a dainty pink and her blue eyes sought the fioor. "I am detaining you," she said, coldly. "I have stayed too long already." Lionel said no more: he felt, perhaps, that the time was not ripe for It.

He sat and mused for a long time after Elsie had gone, and. on the whole, his reflections were not pleasant ones. Then, gradually, the extraordinary story that the girl had told took a grip on him. There was a fascination about It that precluded all idea of further work." He began fitting the pieces of the puzzle together, and then gradually the way to the solution of the problem came to him. He took a hearty lunch and walked oft immediately to the office of the "Daily Record." The news editor, who was previously responsible for the story page, was in, and ready to see his visitor.

Lionel's explanation was brief and to the point. "I want to make a slight alteration or two In the instalment of my story for tp-morrow. There is a little discrepancy I have discovered, not much In itself, but it may be spotted by some lynx-eyed reader, who will write you on the matter." "I know "em." the editor growled. "Make your alterations if you like. I shall be glad of It.

I'll ask Morris to bring down the. copy of the story that was given out to-day. You san sit at that desk and work it out at your leisure." The work did not take long; It ws merely a few words added by a cunning hand, but it entirely altered the "curtain" of the instalment. The "Recowi" always insisted upon a strong "curtain" at the end of each portion of their serials, and it seemed to Lionel that hs had added strength to his story. With a few words of apology he turned to leave the office.

an arrangement that will prove generally, and to Pittsburgh Lake Erie people The records of the expense of renewals rails and ties of 10 Eastern and a like number of Western roads for the 10-year period ending with last year, show some Interesting and significant results. Both Einrnu niniwiii. ld-year and five-year averages are shown. On the Eastern roads for the-Ave years. 1901-1905.

the average number of tons of revenue freight hauled over each mile of road was 2.301.966.7. while for the 1906-1910 period the average was 2.vk,ssi.. an increase of 25.35 per cent. On the Western roads, however, for the first five-year period the average number of tons of revenue freight hauled over each mile of road was btit C2.S30.5. and for the second period KS5.875.4.

the Increase having been a per cent. With the Increase of 25.3S per cent In the density of traffic, the expense of renewal of rails on the Eastern roads Increased from an average of 1.247 cents per train mile during the first live-year period to 1.519 during the second, or 21.81 per cent, while on the Western roads subjected to the tests the cost of rail renewals dropped from 1.838 eents per train mile urine 1901-19M to 1.118 cents In 190ti-1910. or 19.S9 percent. Among the Eastern roads the influence of curvature and gradients appears to be reflected In these ftgures. The price of rails has remained about stationary but the use of heavier rails has, of course, had a considerable influence on rest of renewals, and this has been mora crts ca tts boTTelsjust as scsa feeds ect.

The distance from Pittsburgh also influences cost of rails materially; the freight amounting to a considerable sum, which is against the Western roads. Comparing the expense of renewals of ties by five-year periods also, cost is considerably greater on the Western than on the Eastern roads. For 1901-1905 the Eastern roads paid on an average 2.6CK! cents per train mile for renewals of ties, and for 1906-1910, 3.024 cents, an increase of 16.21 per cent.

The Western roads for the first period paid 3.41? cents, and for the second period 3.7S9 cents per train mile, an increase of 10.88 per cent. Taking the 20 roads together, in 1910 the average expense of renewing ties was 3.406 cents per train mile, while the expense of rail renewals was only 1.317 cents per train mile. How fast this "gets into money" appears more strikingly from the fact that for the year ending June 30. 1910, these 20 roads expended $6,846,150 for renewals of rails and $19,706,973. or nearly three times as much for renewal of ties.

It must be evident that every improvement which will extend the life of the tie, whether it be processes for preservation, tie plates or fastenings. Is of great economic importance, It should be borfte in mind, however. In this connection, that rails taken out of main line tracks and put into sidings are charged only at scrap value and that in the latter location they have very long life. The use made of old Ues for this purpose is very slight and they have very little salvage value. Railway Presidents Coming.

A special meeting' of the American Railway association might easily be called and held here next Thursday, when the number of executives wllo will be In the city to attend the annual dinner of the Traffio club of Pittsburgh will be larger than has ever been the case before upon the occasion of any similar function, here or elsewhere.

The management of the New York Central has sent a number of special representatives to Southern West Virginia to make an inspection of coal mines, railway equipment and shipping facilities for the purpose of procuring data for the defense In the Pittsburgh coal cases, now pending before the interstate commerce commission. The party reached Huntington yesterday and started at once for the Logan county coal field, on the Guy-an Valley branch of the Chesapeake Ohio, whence the Investigators will transfer to the Norfolk Western and visit the Thacker, Mercer and McDowell fields, Afterward they will inspect the Kanawha.

EFFORTS TO ENLIST MEN MADE BY GOVERNMENT. Recruits Will Be Used in Organization of New Commands. The Government Is taxing its army and naval recruiting stations to the limit In an effort to secure a full complement of men for every regiment in the regular army. Recruiting officers have received Instructions to work overtime and it is the general belief that these Instructions mean there will be "something1 doing." Many of the recruits will be used In the organisation of new commands among- the regulars. Captain F.

B. Phelps. In charge of the local recruiting station, has received instructions from Adjutant General Arrord to secure as many recruits as possible for the Infantry. Most of these recruits will go to the army already mobilized along- the border. A special order was also dls patched to Lieutenant Franklin Kenney.

He was a firm believer in the long arm of coincidence; he had seen too much of It to be a scoffer. Truth is ever stranger than fiction. There are mysteries, rejected of editors as too improbable, which find more than their parallel In the daily press. And yet here was- a case that staggered a hardened offender. In his Imagination he had actually drawn a aeries of true happenings.

He had finished the story before they began. "I begin to understand," he said presently. "You have come to regard the author. Rodney Payne, as a malignant foe who was gloating over your misfortune. And instead of that you find a man who used to be, nay, still is, your lover.

Well, that accounts for certain things, but It does Jiot account for everything. As I said before, these frequently happen. They have dona eo In my case. I once bit upon what I considered to be a fine series of eventful happenings, and I placed them in the form of a long story. I bad disposed of the story to a magazine, and it was going to be published, when I was attracted by the title of a dramatic book published by a well-known author.

The title suggested my tale. I read the book, and I found that the other man had practically written my story. I don't think that the editor that magazine has ever quite forgiven me, and he still cherishes the Idea that in some way I picked the brain of the other man. Eisie, can it be that there is anything In the theory of mental telepathy? Could your brother's brain in some way have communicated his Idea and plans to mine? In my story the nobleman's secretary half kills his master and steals the gems. And your brother has apparently done this Lionel paused, the stricken misery on Elsie's face forced him to silence.

He had a shrewd idea of what was uppermost in her mind. She did not know what to think or how to act. She had come to him half to save her, half to ask his advice. "My mind is in a ferment," she said. "I half anticipated some attempt at blackmail on the part of Rodney Payne.

He seemed to know so much of our doings, he seemed to take a malignant pleasure In letting me know that he was in advance of our ideas. And when I had a telegram from Dick this morning telling me what had happened, I could not contain myself any longer. I was bound to see this Rodney Payne without delay. For the sake of old times you will help us, you will tfy to get to the bottom of the mystery?" "II looks as if we had already done so," Lionel said, sadly. "After wihat you have told me about your brother, after what I know "Yes, yes.

My eyes have been opened lately. It is a terrible thing. But I am sure that Dick had nothing to do with this outrage. He has fallen deeply and sincerely in love with Gladys Manning-tree- For her sake he was gojng to do better. Of course.

Lord Mannlngtree knew nothing of this, the engagement was. a secret from him. You may argue that the whole business is slightly irregular, and I am not going to disagree with you. After reading your fiction, and studying the extraordinary parallel facts I have come to a certain conclusion. You may laugh at me, but there it is.

Now, in the story still to be finished, do you make the secretary steal the Jewels?" I don't, Lionel admitted, with a faint smile. "My idea has been to keep up the mystery that surrounds the character of the girl Kate Bradley." "Oh, I knew it. I anew it!" Stole cried. "I thought that that anemic woman was going to develop strangely. I have felt it from the first.

What an extraordinary medley It all Is, the jumbling together of fact and fiction. I am glad that, I came to you now. Lionel, more glad than I can say. Supposing that the prototype of Kate Bradley. Lord Man-nlngtree's pensioner, I mean, reads the 'Record' story as well as other people! There Is no reason why she should not do so.

Don't you think that she would have felt nervous and anxious and frightened, as I have done the last few "Very likely she would, if she had a conscience. Klsie- My dear girl, you have Interested me in spite of myself. The study of criminology has always had a certain fascination for me. These disclosures of yours appeal to me personally. I am going to devote myself to the case.

I am going to act on your suggestion I am going to try and get you oi of the mess. There is no reason why the imaginative novelist should not beat the detectives. We will suppose for a moment that your brother Is innocent "Oh, he is, Lionel. I can prove that at once. He was In London last night, he only went back to Mannlngtree hau by the early mall thls morning." "It he can prove that there is am end of the' mystery as far as we are con cerned." A shade of anxiety crossed Elsie's pretty face.

hope he won't be asked," she whispered. "He was not supposed to be In London. He came up in a secret way. Ob! I can't tell you why. promised not to.

"Promised that you would not tell me?" Lionel asked. "Tell anybody. Do not forget the fact that you as you had not entered into my calculations an hour ago. But you may take my definite assurance for it that Dick was not in the house at the time of that tragedy. He had nothing to do with it." "Which proves nothing." Lionel said, thoughtfully.

"He might have had the emeralds all the same.
