Several things had happened in BelAont recently to disturb David Kerr, and he wan in no frame of mind for further complications. The stock-yards company was be­ ginning to hint at certain favors it wished extended, and with an election coming on, Kerr was in no mood for such concessions. Worse still* the Belmont News had Just changed own­ ership, and the new editor was not displaying that subservient fealty which had characterized ail Belmont papers In the past. Already the News was snapping at his heels and asking questions which were extremely point­ ed. To have Gloria descend upon him at such a time was too much for even David Kerr. His mastery of the situ­ ation caused him to have no great fear for the stock-yard demands and the newspaper outcry, vexing prob­ lems though they Were, but Gloria-- Gloria in Belmont--waa quite another proposition. "Father, this is Gloria," explained David Kerr's daughter when she had established telephone connection with Locust Lawn. "Gloria!" he exclaimed. "Where are you?" "Here, in Belmont, at the station. I just came;" "How did -it happen? I wasn't look- tog for you." "Aren't you glad to see me?" "Glad to see you? Of course I am, but it's a surprise. When did you come? How do you happen to be here? Why didn't you let me know?" M1 wanted to surprise you," she laughed. "Annabel Hitchcock's aunt died. so we couldn't go to California- I had nothing else to do, so I came home. Wasn't that right?" "Exactly, exactly. But it's a bad time to come to Belmont," "I don't care, I'm so glad to be borne. How do I get out to Locust Lawn?" "You cant well wait there for me to come in for you. Take a carriage and tell the driver you want to go to the end of the Townsend Park car line. Wait for me in the drug store. rU get there almost aB soon as you do." "Harry, father, because I'm so anx­ ious to see you. It's been an age since I raw you, and you know I don't know a thin# about Belmont I'm just dying to meet everybody, and then 111 ask souc of the girls out to visit me." "Well talk that over after awhile," was his noncommittal response. "Wait (or me at the drug store. Good-by." The carriage drive through Belmont and Townsend Park, a suburb, was of educational value. It gave her an in­ creasing respect for Belmont Al­ though there was no remarkable resi­ dence difcfrict. there were occafc onal koines which denoted refinement as well as comfortable circumstances. ThlB was not in keeping with what David Kerr's daughter had been taught about her father's town. The number of automobiles also surprised tier. By the time she reached the place appointed for her meeting with her father there was not so much of condescension in her attitude toward Belmont. This changing viewpoint did not mean a diminution of enthusiasm. More than anything else it spurred typr curiosity. She realized that the Tftal Belmont was an advance over what she had been led to expect, just how much only a dip into the social whirl could reveaL The pleasurable part of it all was that Gloria was still queen by right of Inheritance. If the g^r'-y 'You Old Dear!" f Kingdom was more extensive than she had thought, the court life would also Ite more brilliant. Gloria had not long to wait for her ftlther. An old-fashioned carriage cov­ ered with mud and drawn by fat bay horses drew up before the drug store. Out of the vehicle a somewhat pon­ derous individual pulled himself--a ftnooth-shaven man who appeared to fce something over fifty, with heavy jaws and piercing eyes which looked f ii)#i«ar througU you from under beetling |f ' ' Wj eyebrows. With a cry the girl flung *3* * Jfcftrself upon him and smothered him yrl." v'-fv" '• kisses. "Y(H> old dear!" she exclaimed jVV*5Vou h4veil't changed a btt. I I'm so ' #ad to be at,home with you. Isn't :t'"" 1 ' ^ j&st dandy to be back in Belmont!' The man smiled. Even If he had not changed, as she had sworn, he' recognized that she had changed. In the two years since he had seen her, out of the chrysalis had come the but­ terfly; and this radiant girl was his daughter. For one brief instant • he unlocked the neglected chamber of his heart which was the prison of the past, and thought of Gloria's mother. Then the present with its obligations and its stern realities recalled bim to the life that was from the days that once had been. ' "Welcome home, daughter," he said,, making a peck In the general direc­ tion of her mouth do duty for an an­ swering kiss. With David Kerr kiss­ ing had long ago become aii obsolete custom. Then, too, no one had ever accused him of being unduly demon­ strative. Seeing the negro driver bowing and scraping, Gloria left her father to spes& to him. 8he might have for­ gotten Locust Lawn, but she had not forgotten Locust Lawn's chief fac­ totum. Old Tom, who had been in Kerr's employ for a generation, had been her constant companion when she had outgrown the continuous vigilance of her nurse. "How d' you do, Tom," she said, ex­ tending her hand. "I don't believe you remember me. Now, do you?" "Bless yo' heart, Miss Glory," grinned the old negro, "I'd sho'ly know you anywhares. An', it does me a pow'ful sight o' good to see you. Why, chile, when you went away you wuz jes' a little gal. An' now look at you; you's a reg'lar growed-up woman. Ah reckins you'll want to git mahried soon. Hey?" Gloria laughed; that same fresh, in­ fectious laugh of hers which had warned many a wary suitor that he had not found the combination to her heart and had brought him to that plane of friendship on which he was always welcome. As well try to de­ scribe Pattl's singing, in the days when her charm was greatest,, as try to describe Gloria's laugh. There be those persons so presumptuous that on hearing it would aver she had never loved. Whether David Kerr was one of those his countenance did not betray. As he waited for her answer to the question put her by the old negro, a privileged Bervltor, his face was as Impassive as ever it was on the night of an election. "Why, Tom," she explained when she had ceased to laugh at the fool­ ishness of the question, "I love every­ body, of course, but nobody in the wide, wide world like that I'm never going to marry any one; do you think so?" "Miss Glory, you neveh do know what de Lord'll pervide. Look at me. Ah done say dat, too, when I wuz young lak you; but Ah's had fo' wives already, an* mah time ain't cpme to die yit" "All right, Tom. I don't know what the Lord will provide, but I'm not go­ ing out of my way to help Provi­ dence." The words of this colloquy were neither more nor less than David Kerr had anticipated. It was from the spirit rather than from the wording of her reply that the father sought to ascertain the answer. It had been his one hope that somewhere on her travels she would meet a man worthy the love of a woman such as she, that she would marry him and never re­ turn to Belmont. Almost unconscious­ ly, with that end vaguely in view, he had been diminishing his activities. He had money enough for Gloria's fu­ ture, already she had her own Income, and his age made even power irk some. He would move away from Belmont when Gloria married, and when she came to visit him it would be to some charming rural spot In the east she loved so well. Other men of his type had retired, why not he? One had even raised a horse which had won the greatest classic of the English turf. But for bim, he had mused, there would be no such pur­ suits to bring him into the public eye That he wished to avoid for Gloria's sake. And now all his plans seemed to be coming to naught--Gloria had come home, free of heart and anxious to mingle in Belmont society. The drive to Locust Lawn was un­ eventful. Gloria watched for land marks along the way, and commented on the changes twelve years bad made Locust Lawn seemed closer to town than in the old days. Most of her re­ marks about places they passed were,- addressed to Tom, because together when she was a child, they had been over the road many times. David Kerr, never much of a conversation alis^ was content to listen, hoping some chance speech might aid in clear­ ing up the situation. Everything Gloria said, however, seemed only confirmation of her determination to enter at once into Belmont's gayeties. "Dar's de first sight o' Locust Lawn, Miss Glory." They had just reached the top of a hill and Tom pointed with his whip to a house on the next eminence Looking up, Gloria saw, not the estate of her imagination, but a square red brick house looking rather desolate through the bare branches of many trees. Locust Lawn at the end of winter was qo enchanted fairy bower but she was far too clever a girl, and far too good at heart, to betray any disappointment. To her the plaee was home, and she was anxious to recog nlze it as such. The interior of the house was no more inviting. As soon as possible Gloria wandered from room to room, her inspection making her give silent thanks that she had not asked any ot her friends to join her in her descent on Belmont The wall paper with big yellow flowers, the carpets with big red flowers, the rocking chairs with the crocheted tidies, and the marble- topped table in the parlor with the inevitable plush album upon it, were no less distressing than the wax flow­ ers under the glass case, the steel en­ graving of the Scotch Covenanters worshiping in a mountain glen, and the tin bathtub. She even gave thanks that she had not brought a maid. "Mlstah K.," said a negro mammy, putting her head in the door of the living room after KePJf and his daugh­ ter had finished going over the house. Tom wants to knew ef you is goin' to town dis mawnin'." "No, Lily, I ain't going to town to­ day. Tell Tom to send Yellow Sam with the spring wagon for Glc.-ia's trunks. Dey's ben telephonin* you from town. Dey say It's pow'ful lmpo'tant business. Miss Glory, she done will- in' to stay wlf me, jes' lak she use' to. Ain't you, honey?" To this Gloria gave laughing as­ sent, but her father shook his head. I'm not going to town today.

Aunt Lily, who probably was given that name by some ante-bellum joker because of her ebon hue, nodded her acknowledgment of the order and with­ drew. The reasons David I&srr had for not wishing to get into communication with any one In Belmont were several, but the most potent was his desire to be uninterrupted while engaged in studying his daughter and evolving some plan whereby she could be taken from Belmont before her slightest suspicion had been aroused. One episode in their tour of the house had given him much comfort Gloria had paused in the old-fashioned parlor and gased long at his life-sized portrait, done In oils, over the marble mantel. Then she had looked about the room, and not finding what she sought, had aBked: "Where is one of my mother?" "There is none." he confessed, and added quickly, "but I'm going to have one painted for you. That was given me recently by the First Ward club." "What's the First Ward club?" "A political organization." "Politics! Do you know anything about politics?" David Kerr almost smiled. "I don't know whether the presi­ dent is a Democrat or a Republican," she added. "Don't bother about it." "Oh. I'm not going to. I don't want to be a suffragette and march in a TESTS OF SENSE OF SMELL 1 n3'8.70; !ematol-.1 Experiments Have. Proved That, It Is Much More Acute In thee Male Than In the Female. Some interesting experiments have been made in France on the relative acuteness of the sense of smell in in­ dividuals. A series of solutions of oil of cloves, artificial musk, extract of garlic, bromine and oil of almonds, were prepared by successive dilutions until the limit of perception was reached, and then the solutions were placed indiscriminately, and submit­ ted to several persons of both sexes to classify them properly by the sense of smelL The results showed, that, on the av­ erage, the sense of smell was much more delicate in the males than in the females; but the degrees of keenness ranged widely as between individuals. Thus, three male observers were able to detect one part of oil of bitter al­ monds in two million parts of water; though its presence was not revealed by a chemical test; but others of both in 311,330); extract of garlic--(males, 1 in 57,927; females, 1 In 43,900); bro­ mine---(males, 1 In 339,254; females, 1 in 16,244; oil of bitter almonds-- (males, l in 113,000; females, 1 in 18,000). LONGEST STRAIGHT STRCTCH OF RAILROAD CLAIMED FOR TEXAS. Headlight Can Be Seen for Forty-Nine Miles, and Unsophisticated Trav­ eler Really Need Not Have Been In 8o^ Much of a Rush. a H. Ifoeller,. who recently return­ ed from-Kansas, where-he has been traveling and making the Panhandle of TexaB, received the following letter from a friend of his who who made his first trie through the Panhandle: "I have been on the road for a Kansas City bouse now for six years traveling Kansas and Missouri, but the house has now added the Panhan­ dle of Texas to my territory and I have just finished my first trip. The first town out of Kansas across the strip was Tyrone, Okla. I had spent the afternoon there and Intended to take a night train back to Liberal. • bunch of us were sitting on the front porch of the Commercial hotel when I saw a headlight looming up down the track. I made a rush for my grips and yelled at the boy to get his cart and take 'em over to the depot quick. I didn't wait for his answer, but ran over to the depot and rushed up to the window and demanded a ticket for' Liberal " 'How's this?* I said to the agent. 1 thought this train wasp't due for in hour, and here she is not a mile away.' " 'Mister,' he replied, 'you better go back to the hotel and buy cigars for that bunch. This is your first trip down here, ain't it? Well, I thought so. That headlight Is just 49 miles away; you've got pretty nearly an hour to finish that game ot rummy. This is the longest stretch of straight track in the country, 76 miles, clear across the Panhandle without a curve. You see that house over there? That's where I live. I dota't have to light a lamp until after 9 o'clock winter nights.

Ralli'oads Working to impress on Em­ ployes the Necessity for Careful* Hess When at Work. The trouble comes from the little accidents. The big causq of Injuries is the little accident. It is not the big wrecks that bring up the figures but the slips of carelessness. A yard man stands in front of the switch engine between the rails, and swings: up on the footboard. He does this for five years with never a mishap. Then one morning, when the footboard is cov­ ered with ice, his foot twist* and he slips--and his oldest son is taken out of school to help support the family. Of course th? rlcht wny U tn cturid outside of the rails and swing on; if he slips, then he will suffer nothing more than a jar--he will not go down between the rails. A yard man is running along by the side of a car and is just about to swing up when he stumbles over a chunk of coal and goes under the wheels. A loose board is left un* mended on the roof of & box car; a brakeman coming along stubs his toe and pitches off headlong' into the night. These are the little accidents that make the widows. The New York Central Is one of thO roads that teaches the men to be careful of the little accident through committees of safety. This company has 60 of these committees with an aggregate membership of 900 men. They wear a button andv report all lapses on part of the employes. A member of the committee of safety has authority over a man of his rank who is not a member. For Instance, if a track walker who is a member of the committee sees another track walker taking a chance, he reports him for his carelessness. Then the careless track walker is laid off for 15 days. There is nothing like cut ting off a man's pay for a couple of weeks to teach him to get over his careless habits."

Her absolute Ignorance ot pontics, nothing remarkable in" a girl of her years and training, was no small grain of comfort to her father. It was not until after luncheon that Gloria disclosed the subject nearest her heart. Her father, like a wise general, permitted her to open the engagement He had never been a' man to exert more strength than was necessary for the discomfiture of the enemy. He wanted all her batteries unmasked, all her forces engaged, be* fore he brought Ms own side into ac­ tion. For some time they sat In silence in the living room, gazing into the open wood fire. More than once Kerr thought, his daughter was about to speak, but each time she seemed to think better of it or else lose her courage. He knew that something weighed on her mind. "I know I'm going to like Belmont very much," she ventured at last. "And I want Belmont to like me. My coming home is different from that of other girls I know. At Annabel's or Jane Leigh's or ^any of the girls' homes we haven't been in the house ten min­ utes before the telephone begins to ring, in half an hour there are enough engagements to last a week. In Bel­ mont I don't know any one yet" This was not said in any tone of complaint. She could not dream of such a thing, because her father's po-,, sition was such that her lack of friends was only a temporary embar­ rassment. She knew that well enough. "If I had known that I was coming home I would have brought some of the girls with me." She did not al­ low him to know that the house had not come up to her expectations. "I'm glad I didn't because I don't know any one here yet, and although we'd all be received at once I couldn't make It as pleasant for them as I can after I have had an intimate knowledge of things. After you once introduce me I think I can begin to plan for the girlB. I'm under obligations to every single girl I know. I don't mean sin­ gle--unmarried. But I might as well, because married girls don't go visit* ing around the country." "I thought you entertained in the east." "I did, but girls like to get to a new place. They're not looking for any­ body, but' the .wiijer your territory the more certain it is that lightning will Btrike you." You've had a pretty wide terri­ tory," was her father's dry rejoinder. "But I always ran for cover when L saw a storm coming." "I thought you'd come home en­ gaged to a duke .or a count at the least. Didn't you see any men you liked?" "I liked them all, father, but 1 haven't seen a foreigner I'd marry. They're nice enough to tall^ to and dance with and to bring an ice at a ball, but no more than that. But noth­ ing worries me; I'm going to stay here and keep house for you." "It Ain't much of a house, Gloria. You see, I ain't ever had any women folk around here, and the place 'bout runs itself, 'cept whht the niggers do. You won't like it, I'm afraid." "I'll like It well enough. You don't know how I've envied other girls their homes." "I tell you what you do. Go on to California now--111 go with you. tf you say so. and stay till you git set­ tled with some of your friends. Then I'll come back and have the house fixed up so's when you come agaii it'll be just what you want" Kerr felt that If he could get her away he could see to it that she did not return, even at the cost of his leaving Belmont a year or two sooner than he had planned. Td this sug­ gestion Gloria did not accede. "What! go away and miss all the fun of fixing up the house!" she ex* claimed. "No, sir, daddy. 1'fn going to stay right here and make pies in the morning, have teaB in the after­ noons and go to the theaters at night. And you're going with me." Kerr made a deprecating gesture, but she quickly overruled him. "Don't say a word. You're going, and tonight's the night we start. We're goihg to the theater tonight" Then Gloria told of a girl she had seen on the train who had come to Belmont to a theater party. She ex. plained to her father that no occasion would give her a better opportunity to see the Belmont of which she was to be a part than that offered that evening. In all likelihood she would meet a number of persons between the acts. From her point of view she suggested bo many good reasons that her father was afraid to interpose any objection at the time. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Steel Ties on European Railways. During a recent visit to Europe the writer was struck with the fact thai the steel tie, which has made very lit­ tle headway In the United States, is extensively use<ft abroad, and particu­ larly in Germany, where only two years ago the Prussian State railways alone purchased over 150,000 tons of ties of this character. We noted on the fine stretch of road between Ber­ lin and Hamburg that the steel tie track was of moBt excellent quality, both as regards the surface and align­ ment, and we were particularly sur­ prised to find that contrary to the gen­ eral Impression, the track was not noisy, but was as a matter of fact more silent than some stretches of good track over which we have ridden which were laid on wooden ties.

PEAT FUEL FOB LOCOMOTIVES Swedlah Engineer's Plan to Utilize the Bogs of His Country Seems Feasible. Champion Slow Train Story. The last train had crawled through the station laboriously. In the waiting room the guard told the tale to a belated passenger. "It was last year," he said, "a man wanted to commit suicide. He got on to the lines, put his head on the rails, and waited for the train," "'Well?" queried the passenger, breathlesuly. / , "Oh!" itald the guard, "he died all right--of starvation." Railroad Large Land Owner* The Canadian Pacific railway, one' of the greatest railways of the world, Is also one of the world's greatest land owners.

USEFUL FOR SECTION GANG Traok Automobile and Trailer Has Many Points to Recommend Its Qeneral Adoption. The announcement that » Hjalmar von Porat, a Swedish engineer, had perfected a process for utilizing peat powder as fuel for locomotives has awakened interest in the possibility of developing the extensive peat bogs sf Sweden for this purpose, says Pow­ er. The powder is manufactured by the Ekelund process. It does not appear that this process has made much headway as yet, but it is now predict* ed that in connection with the discov­ ery of Mr. von Porat the use of peat powder will in time become exten­ sive. In the Von Porat system the peat powder is fed by an automatic de* vice into the furnace of the locomo­ tive, which is specially arranged to consume it. According to Mr. von Porat the results obtained with peat powder may be summed up as follows: Substantially the same results can be had from one and one-half tons of peat powder that one ton of coal will produce. Peat powder may be burned with an admixture of about 5 per cent of coal. As to firing with peat powder the work is almost nothing in com* parison with firing with coal, because the powder is forced into the furnace by automatic process. No change had to be made in the boiler and none in the firebox, except installing the Bpeclal apparatus. There is no diffi­ culty in bringing the powder from the tender to the firebox, aa it paases through a conveyance pipe. Another advantage in using peat powder is that no cold air can get into the flre* box and neither smoke nor sparks escape from the smokestack. As a result of Von Porat'B Invention It is reported that a number of the Swedish railways are preparing to use peat powder Instead of coaL Excess uric acid left io the blood by weak kidneys causes more diseases than any other poison.
