Conclusions •• I :: By CLARISSA MACKIE: : • .M-H-I-X-H-H-H-H-H-H-M-H-H-- * Mark Ellsworth bought a magazine |of the train boy and settled comforta- j bly back In his seat. The book opened of itself at one of Eunice Ward's charming little love stories, and Mark scanned the columns eagerly for the paragraph that introduced the Inevita- ble man In the case. He was vexed with himself even as his eyea fell upon the offending paragraph. As usual In Eunice's latest stories the hero was everything to be ad- mired—manly, lovable and big and blond and handsome Mark slapped the pages together and cast the magazine from him, staring moodily at the fleeting scenery. He was rather below the medium height, durk and pale and square Jnwee dressed for dinner his fine forehead wns creased with n dark frown as be wen t over the months of his acquaint- ance with Eunice Ward. Fie had been a bosom friend of Dick Raymond's be- fore that gentleman's marriage and since then had been n frequent guest at Wlndymere. Eunice wna Mrs.Ray- mond's cousin, and it wus at Wlndy- niero that Mark had mot nnd fallen in love with her among the winding paths of that most fascinating of homes. The presence of Percy Roiiler Ptm- derson at Windy mure was significant Mnrk had lieard of him as a dreamy, soulful Individ ual, and ho could not as- sociate Mrs. Raymond's description of the Englishman with tho drooping, nnnemic poet his imagina tion had con- jur ed.

"You've promised to como down every Saturday for the past month and now, the first week In October, our expectations are at last realized I" The mock regret in her tone qalto hid something that Mark was too miserable to recognize "I've been very busy," he said al> sently, "nnd in town the weeks do slip away. You have not been dull?" Ills eyes Involuntarily turned toward Pun- derson's broad back. "Not at all!" Bho cried hastily. "Mr. Punderson is quite as ardent a pedes- trian as I am. and together we have tramped over every road in Mereton, coming home with the most appalling appetites.

Wo will start tomorrow morn- Ing while the others are at church." The prospect of having Eunice ali to himself for several hours put Mark in the best of spirits and during the course of tho evening he cam© to like the big quiet blond giant who seemed a living representation of the heroeB who marched through tho pages of Eu- 0108*8 stories. As they struck into a long amber lighted wood rond the next day Mark turned and looked at Eunice, she step- ping easily beside him. Sha wore ft simple walking skirt of whlto serge and a white knitted coat, with a whlto felt hnt perched on her golden hair. She looked very young and very fair, but he thought her voice lacked Its usual buoyancy.

A pink flush wavered in her cheekB, and her blue eyes wort quite hidden. Mnrk breathed quickly. Co took a step toward her, a light In bis dark eyea. "Eunice," bo Baid hoarsely, "we all women like that—do they try to hide their love from the man who loves thorn?" "Not all, Mark," she said in a tone between tears and laughter, "but those of us who nro not sure, when we give oar love first, we-wo rnunt dissemble, Ruch an describing our hero ns a blond gftmt when as a matter of faci— Oh, Mnrk"— an he took her in his armR.

At least something is being done to decrease tho death tint from railway accidents. It is not much, but even Sngbt efforts toward safety show that somebody Is thinking about the prob- lem. That is more than we have aJ- Srays been led to expect j The public service commission of Jhe state of Now York finds that the {Wreck of the'Twentloth Century flier on the New York Central was due primarily to "schedules too fast for safety." Ik was the excessivespeed And not any defect in the roil ltoelf jprfcich caused the broken rail that In turn occasioned the wreck. It is hard- ly nocessary to srptfitn that the Twea- ileth Century is the eighteen hour flier fcetween New York and Chicago. Be- cause of the finding the hope Is ex- pressed in some quarters that the time , «f this train will be lengthened. The . {Pennsylvania also has an eighteen pour train between our two chief titles , wryi It is Intimated that Its schedule may be changed with that of j Jthe Central. ] ¦ There is a ttmlt to railroad speed. end that limit has apparently been • reached, perhapsexceeded. Beyond a ; (certain speed the expense In money and life Is greaterthan is Justified even by the demand of the Americanpeople for quick travel. Eventually we mast adopt the rule of " safety first" In this connection the Santa Fo rail- road has created a new office whose Incumbent will be known as the com- missioner of safety. It will be his t business to go from place to place on ' the road studying accidents and their . prevention. Presumably he will be f empowered to organize the employees r to help him in bis work. : I ! Rude.
