Mr. Web ster said: “I think that all I shall do will be to show that, under the ex isting rates nf,fare, which have been in force since August, 1919, t^ere has been an annual deficit of $97.r>,00n and upwards a year, this being based on a return nf 7 per cent of the valua tion as determined by the commls slon. We propose to show- that the net rate nf return during last five years has been about 4 per rent. It is a matter of judicial history that any net rate of less than 4 per cent, or even 7 per cent In eome Instances, has been held to bo unreasonable and confiscatory. Some courts have held that 8 or in per cent, is fair.” Mr. Webster announced with con siderable vigifr that If "they Insist the company Is not entitled to 7 per cent,’’ the company may demand that the deficit of nearly $2,000,000 suf fered during the last five years be smatorized and the company reim bursed through Increased rates nf fare. He referred to the outlook of bankruptcy o" receivership which may occur If he company Is not al . lowed a fair ra e of return. Wa te of Time. In his preli ninary statement Tor poratlon Counsel Lambert asserted that he believed it would be. a waste of time and would he futile to go Into the question of valuation; that the commission's valuation of $14,100,000 was acceptable. Mr. I-amhert, how ever, did question the 7 per rent re turn which was fixed by the com pdssion some time ago and which the street railway company is now stand lug upon. He contended that lids 7 • per cent Is theoretical, and lie insisted that if the traction company would make a proper allocation of revenues and expense* of its Nebraska, prop erty It could be shown tHat tiie pres ent revenue of the Nebraska lines would be sufficient to yield 7 per cent on the agreed valuation figures, and tomuld be sufficient net revenue. Attorney Coad/ on behalf of the United Improvement Club*, stated tJtot during tbo last several months Various organizations have acted selfishly by making reports on the Street railway controversy in advance of the evidence.

Sometimes it has to l»e done in order to find out thing’s it is necessary to know. But it ne\er is ni< e. People do not like ^ spies. Johnny Chuck knew all this, hut just the same ho was spying*. You see, Johnny was so filled with jealousy that he didn't caiv what lie did. lie first crept up behind the old stone wall down near whore he and! Polly Chin k had once had their home Taking rare (hat no one saw him, he peeped over tlip Old Wall tinder and old applet rep In the far corner of the Old Orchard. Taking care that no one saw him, he peeped over the old wall. There was the en trance to his old home under the old appletree just as he rememl>ered It. Was Polly Chuck living In It now? Was she Inside taking a nap? Or was she somewhere in the Old Orchard feasting on sweet clover? Johnny stared long and hard at his old home. "She Isn’t living there," he decided. "There would he a lot o( fresh sand on that doorstep If _«he were living there. 1 know Polly Chuck we|l enough to know that she would just have 10 clean out that old home if she were living In it." Johnny ellmbed over the old stone wall and went straight over to the entrance to the old home. He sniffed. The hair along his bar k began to rise. He smelled Chuck. Someone was using that old home. But that scent wasn’t the scent of Polly Chuck. It It must he that the stranger about whom he had overheard Sammy Jay talking was living In that old home. The very thought made Johnny angrier than ever. There was no reason why it should, but it did. He and Polly had given up that old house long acn. Just the same it made him angry to think that an other chuck should he using It. Johnny sat up and looked this way and that way through the Old Or chard. But he saw nothing of either Polly Chuck or a stranger chuck Where rould Volly cli.iok he living. He «va» tempted to wander around through the Old Orchard until he found Tolly. But If he did thie Tolly and the stranger might see him first. He wanted to nee thorn before they saw him. So he decided that he would make his wav around the Old Or chard behind the old* stone wall. Back he climbed over the old stone wall. He turned the corner and begun to make his way along the other side of the old Orchard. Kvery few feet he would climb up and peep over the old wall. At last he hud almost reached the upper corner of the Old Orchard. This time when he peeped over he saw light down in the corner a mound of yellow sand, and sitting "ii that mound was Polly Chuck. He knew then that he had found Polly’s new home. II" knew that she had dug a hole down under the old stone wall in that corner. ~ Polly was sitting up looking to ward a certain appletree. Johnny looked over there. 1'nder that apple tree sat a strange Chuck. He was big. lie was quite as big as Johpny himself. And he was handsome. Yes, sir; for a Chuck he was handsome. You sec, he was younger than John nv, and there wasn't so much gray in his coat. Johnny looked l>a< k at Polly Chuck. He could see that she was admiring the stranger. He looked back at the latter. He could see that the stranger knew that be was being admired. Jealous rage filled Johnny Chuck’s heart. The next story: "Polly Chuck Watches a (treat Fight.’’ (Copyright. 1925).
