\ The affairs of the Traction Company
I proved to be in a wretched tangle. Sax-
! ton employed an expert accountant to
I open a set of books for the company ,
> > . while : he gave his immediate attention to
the physical condition of the property.
. IChe company's service was a byword and
la hissing in the town , and he did what
he could to better it , working long hours ,
! but enjoying the labor. It had been a
pudden impulse on Fenton's part to have
Saxton made receiver. In Saxton's first
I flays ( ( at Clarkson he had taken legal ad-
vice of Fenton in 1Datters which had al
l ready been placed in the lawyer's hands
J > y the bank ; but most of these had long
, aeon closed , and Saxton had latterly gone
_ . : \ , , jto : Raridan for such legal assistance as
he needed from time to time. Fenton had
,
I / ' , firmly intended asking Wheaton's appoint-
ment this seemed him
I ' ; to perfectly nat-
J "jural and proper in view of Wheaton's po-
I i I ition in the bank and his relations with
I ; , Porter , which were mucji Igss confidential
! than : even Fenton imagined.
r j Fenton .had been disturbed to find Mar
- I. grave and Wheaton together in the direc-
I tors' room the night before the annual
. ! pieeting ; of the Traction stockholders. He
, I : could imagine no business that would
II j I bring them together ; and the hour and
: . ihe place were not propitious for forming
J. I new alliances for the bank. Wheaton had
,1 ! I appeared agitated as he passed out the
: r packet of bonds and stocks ; and Mar-
, I ; grav ' 's efforts at gaiety had only increas-
, ed If bnton's suspicious. From every point
I . of riew it was unfortunate that Porter
I I shGuld have fallen ill just at this time ;
but it was , on the whole , just as well to
take warning from circumstances that
were even slightly suspicious , and he had
decided that Wheaton should not have the
receivership. He had not considered
Saxton in this connection until the hour
! _ of the Traction meeting ; and he had in-
wardly debated it until the moment of
his decision at the street corner.
' He had expected to supervise Saxton's
acts , but the receiver had taken hold of
, the company's affairs with a zeal and an
'intelligence which surprised him. Saxton
- - wasn't so slow as he looked , he said to
the federal judge , who had accepted Sax-
ton wholly on Fenton's recommendation.
Within a fortnight Saxton had improved
the service of the company to the public
so markedly that the newspapers praised
him. He reduced the office force to a
working basis and installed a cashier who
was warranted not to steal. It appeared
that the motormen and conductors held
their positions by paying tribute to cer-
tain minor officers , and Saxton applied
heroic treatment to these abuses without
ado. .
The motormen and conductors grew
. . I used to the big blond in the long gray
1 ulster who was forever swinging himself
. aboard the cars and asking them ques ;
, tions. , They affectionately called him
"Whiskers , " for no obvious reason , and
i the report that Saxton had , in one of the
power-houses , filled his pipe with sweep-
ings of tobacco factories known in the
trade as "Trolleyman's Special , " had fur-
' ther endeared him to those men whose
pay checks bore his name as receiver. In
enow-storms the Traction Company had
usually given up with only a tame strug-
gle , but Saxton devised a new snow-
plow , which he hitched to a trolley and
drove with his own hand over the Trac
tion Company's tracks.
John was cleaning out the desk of the
late secretary of the company one even-
ing while Raridan , read a newspaper and
waited for him. Warry was often lonely
these days. Saxton was too much en-
grossed to find time for frivolity , and Mr.
Porter's illness cut sharply in on Wrfrry's .
visits to the Hill. He was resting while
he waited for the Transcontinental to
exhaust its usual tactices of delay and
come to trial. On Fenton's suggestion
Saxton had Intrusted to Raridan some
matters pertaining to the receivership ,
and these served to carry Warry over an
interval of Idleness and restlessness.
"You may hang me I" ! said Saxton , sud-
1 denly. He had that day unexpectedly
came upon the long-lost stock records of
the company and was now examining
them. Thrust into one of the books were
two canceled certificates. '
"It's certainly queer , ' he said , as War-
ry went over to his desk. , He spread out
one of the certificates which Margrave
fyad taken from Wheaton the night before
the annual meeting. "That's certainly
Wheaton's endorsement all right enough. "
Raridan took off his glasses and
brought his near-sighted gaze to bear
critically upon the paper.
. "There's no doubt about it. "
"And look at this , too. " Saxton hand-
ed him Evelyn Porter's certificate. Rari-
dan examined it and Evelyn's signature
on the back with greater care. He car-
ried the paper nearer to the light , and
scanned it again while Saxton watched
him and smoked . his pipe.
"You notice that Wheaton witnessed
the signature. "
Raridan nodded. Saxton , who knew
his friend's moods thoroughly , saw that
he was troubled.
"I can find no plausible explanation of
that , " said Saxton. "Anybody may be
called on to witness a signature ; but I
can't explain this. He opened the stock
record and followed the history of the
two cert-'ilcates from one page to anoth-
er. It v ? . s clear enough that the certifi-
cates held by Eveijn ; Porter and James
. Wheaton had been merged into one.
which had been made out in the name of
Timothy Margrave , and . dated the day be-
fore the annual meeting. ,
"It doesn't make much difference at
.present , " said Saxton. "When Mr. Por-

ly go over this whole business and he can
easily explain thesa matters. "
"It makes a lot of difference , " said
Warry , gloomily.
"We'd better not say anything' about
this just now - not even to Fenton , " Sax-
ton suggested. "I'll take these things
over to my other office for safe keeping.
Some one may want them badly enough
to look for them. "
. Raridan sat down with his newspaper
and pretended to be reading until Saxton
was reaSy to go .
CHAPTER XIX.
The iron thrall of winter was broken
at last. Great winds still blew in ; tho
valley , but their keen edge was dulf cf.
Robins and bluejays , coming before the
daffodils dared , looked down from bare
boughs upon the receding line of snow on
the Porter hillside. The yellow river
had shaken itself free of Ice , and its swol-
, len flood rolled seaward. Porter watch-
ed it from his windows ; and early in
March he was allowed to take short
walks in the grounds. He was much
weakened by his illness , and though he
pleaded daily to be allowed to go to the
bank , he submitted to Evelyn's refusal
with a tameness that was new in him.
Fenton came several times for short in-
terviews ; Thompson called as an old
friend as well as a business associate.
Wheaton was often at the house , and Por-
ter preferred his account of , bank mat-
ters to Thompson's. Wheaton carried the
figures in his head , and answered ques-
tions offhand , while Thompson was help-
less without the statements which he
was always having the clerks make for
him. Porter fretted and fumed over
Traction matters , though Fenton did his
best to reassure him.
He did not understand why Saxton
should have been made receiver ; if Fen-
ton was able to dictate the appointment ,
why did he ignore Wheaton , who could
have been spared from the bank easily
enough when Thompson returned. Fen-
ton did not tell him the true reason-
but he urged the fact that Saxton repre-
sented : certain shares which were " enti
tled to consideration , and he made much
of the danger of Thompson's breaking
down at any moment and having to
leave. Porter dreaded litigation , and
wanted to know how soon the receiver
ship could be terminated and the company
reorganized. The only comfort he de
rived from the situation was the victory
which had been gained over Margrave ,
who had repeatedly sent messages to the
house asking for an interview with Por-
ter at the earliest moment possible. The
banker's humor had not been injured by
the fever , and he told Evelyn and the
doctor that he'd almost be willing to stay
in bed a while longer merely to annoy
Tim Madgrave.
"If I'd known I was going to be sick ,
I guess I woudn't have tackled it , " he
said to Fenton one day , holding up his
thin hand to the fire. The doctors had
found his heart weak and had cut off his
tobacco , which he missed sorely. "I might
unload as soon as we can rebond and
reorganize. "
"That's for you to say , " answered the
lawyer. "Margrave wanted it , and no
doubt he would Le glad to take it off your
hands if you care to deal with him. "
"If I was sure I had a dead horse , I
guess I'd as lief let Tim curry him as
any man : in town ; but I don't believe this
animal is dead. "
"Not much , ' said the lawyer , reassur-
ingly. "Saxton says Le's making money
every day , now that nobody is stealing the
revenues. He's painting the open cars
and expects to do much better through
the summer. "
"I guess Saxton doesn't know much
about the business , " said Porter.
"He knows more than he did. He's all
right , that fellow-slow but sure. He's
been a surprise to everybody. He's solid
with the men , too , they tell me. I guess
there won't be any strikes while he's in
charge. "
"You'd better get a good man to keep
the accounts , " Porter suggested. "Whea-
ton's pretty keen on such things. "
"Ob , that's all fixed. Saxton brought
, a man out from an Eastern audit com-
pany to run that for him , and he depos-
its with the bank. "
"All right , " said Porter , weakly.
Saxton came and talked to him of the
receivership several times , and Porter
quizzed him about it in his characteristic
vein. Saxton was very patient under his
cross-examination , and reassured the
banker by his manner and his facts. Por-
ter had lost his jaunty way , and after the
first interview he contented himself with
asking how the receipts were running and
how they compared . with those of the
year previous. Saxton suggested several
times to Fenton that he would relinquish
the receivership , now that Porter was
able to nominate some one to his own
liking. The lawyer would not have it so.
He believed In Saxton ,
and he felt sure
that when Porter could
get about and see
what the receiver had accomplished he
would be satisfied. It would be foolish
to make & : change until Porter had fully
recovered and was able to take hold of
Traction matters in earnest
Saxton had suddenly become a person
of importance in the community. The
public continued to be mystified by the
legal stroke which had placed William
Porter virtually in possession of the
property ; and it naturally took a deep
interest in the court's agent who was
managing it so successfully. Warry Rari
dan was delighted to find Saxton praised ,
and he dealt ironically with those who
expressed surprise at Saxton's capacity.
He was glad to be associated with John ,
and when he could find an excuse , he
liked to visit the power house with him ,
and to identify himself in any way IpOS
sible with his friend's work. During the
extreme cold he paid from his own pock
et for the hot coffee which was handed
up to the motormen along all the lines ,
and gave it out to the newspapers that
the receiver was doing it. John warned
him that this would appear reckless and
injure him with'the judge of the court
to whom he was responsible.
Though Porter was not strong enough
to resume his business burdens , he was
the better able in his abundant leisure
to quibble over domestic and social mat-
ters with an invalid's unreason. He was
troubled because Evelyn would not go
out ; she had missed practically all the
social gaiety of the winter by reason of
his illness , and he wished her to feel
free to leave him when she liked. In
his careful reading of the newspapers he
. . .
noted the items i classified under "The :
Giddy Throng" and "Social Clarkson , "
and it pained him to miss Evelyn's name

The doctor advised a change for Por-
ter , the purpose of which was to make it
impossible for him to return to his work
before his complete recovery Evelyn
and the doctor chose Asheville before
they mentioned it to him , and the plan ,
of course , included his son Grant. Mrs.
Whipple still supervised the Porter house-
hold at long range , and the general fre
quently called alone to help the banker
over the hard places in his concalevsence.
A day had been fixed for their depar-
ture , and Mrs. Whipple was reviewing
and approving their plans in the librae ,
03 Evelyn ] and her father and Graut
discusKecJ : - them. - -
"We shall probably not see you at
home much in the future , " Mrs. Whipple
said to Mr. Porter , who lay in invalid
ease on a lounge , with ( a Roman com
forter over his knees. "You'll be sure
to become the worst of gad-abouts-Eu-
rope , the far East , and all that.
"I guess not , " he said , emphatically.
"I never expect to have any time for
' . "
loafing.
"Well , you're going now , anyhow. Don't
let this girTget into mischief while you're
away. An invalid father-only a young
brother to care for her qnd keep the suit-
ors away ! Be sure and bring her back
without a trail of encumbrances. Grant , "
she said , turning to the boy , "you must
protect Evelyn from those Eastern men. "
"I'll do my best , " the lad- answered.
"Evelyn doesn't like dudes , and Warry
says all the real men live out West. "
"I guess that's right , " said Mr. Porter.
She rose , gathering her wrap about
her. Grant rose as she did. His man-
ners were very nice , and he walked into
the hall and took up his hat to go down
to the car with Mrs. Whipple. It was
dusk , and a man was going through the
grounds lighting the lamps. Mrs. Whip-
pie talked with her usual vivacity of the
New Hampshire school l which the boy
had attended , and of the trip he was
about to make with his father and sister.
They stood at the curb in front of the
Porter gate waiting for her car. A buggy
stopped near them and a man : alighted
and stogd . talking ! I to a companion who
remained seated.
"Is this the way to Mr. Porter's sta
ble ? " one of the men called to them.
"Yes , " Grant answered , as he stepped
into the street to signal the car. The
man who had alighted , got back : into the
buggy as if to drive into the grounds.
The street light overhead hissed and , then
burned brightly above them. Mrs. Whip-
pie turned and saw one of the men plain-
ly. The car came to a stop ; Grant help
ed her aboard , and waved his hand to
her as she gained the platform.
At 9 o'clock a general alarm was sent
out in Clarkson that Grant Forter had
disappeared.

SITE OF TYBURN TREE.
Marble Tnlilet Placed on Spot Where
Thousands Met Death.
Thousands of English malefactors
and thousands who were not malefac-
tors , according to modern ideas , met
their death at the hands of the hang-
r
centers of London county council , a
London dispatch says.
The spot is the site of the famous
Tyburn tree , the gallows on whicii
London's criminals were har.sretl : fci
more than 600 years. It is situated :
at the junction of Oxford street , Edge-
ware road and Bayswater road , oppo
site the marble arch which marks the
principal entrance to Hyde Park
Shops and mansions look out on the
spot which was once avoided by Ins
superstitious. '
The London county council has
marked the exact spot where the per
manent gallows stood by letting a tab
let into the roadway. It bears an ex
cellent representation of the old gal
lows , surrounded by a triangle with
the following inscription :
"Here stood Tyburn Tree. Removed
1759. "
. The exact site was only fixed after
much research and poring over old
maps by the county council's archaeo
logical experts. The reasonfor the
difficulty was that different authorities
-equally trustworthy-gave two sites
for Tyburn tree , and it , was not until
It was discovered that there were real
ly two of them that the mystery was
. solved. The spot now marked Is the
site of the old permanent gallows
which It is known was in use In 1196 .
which was probably standing for manj
years before than time and which was
removed in 1759. It was replaced by
a movable gallows which was situated
a few hundred yards away and was
finally removed in 1783 , when it was
decided that public executions were
barbarous spectacles , and that men
and women should be hanged In fu
ture within the walls of Newgate pris-
on.At
At the time when Tyburn tree was
bearing Its dreadful fruit its site was
far out in the country. Oxford street ,
now London's greatest shopping thor-
oughfare , was a country road and was
known at Tyburn road. It is the di-
rect route from Newgate prison , in the
old city of London , to Tyburn , and It
was the last road over which the con
demned men traveled , sitting in an
open cart with a priest or clergyman
standing beside them and a mob of
curious spectators following. Half
way to Tyburn tree there was a liquor
shop known as "Last Drink House , "
at which the condemned man was al
ways served : with a quart of ale. That
has long since been destroyed and a
great business building stands on its
site.
Many : famous criminals were hanged
on Tyburn tree and it is estimated
that at least 50,000 persons met their
death there. Claude Duval , the fa
mous highwayman , was hanged there ,
and John Price , the original "Jack
Ketch , " the hangman , was hanged for
murder in 1718 on the very gal-
lows on which he had hanged so many
other men. '

Girls "Who Look for Flaws.
There are some people who like to
consider themselves "critical" and
"discriminating. " They pride them-
eelves on "seeing through" people , on
hitting on their bad points straight
away , on not being deceived by the
superficial qualities. They proclaim
that they have unusual powers of
character reading and : are rarely mis-
taken in their judgments.
Well , it is a great gift to be able to
size people up accurately. It saves
one a great deal of , disillusionment
and disappointment. But the woman
who goes about deliberately looking
for flaws in other people's characters
is spoiling her own nature , and laying
up no end of unhappiness for herself.
One cannot think continually of the
faults and failings and unpleasant
qualities of others without developing
a disagreeable nature. However hid-
den it may be under a cultivated and
tactful manner , that unhappy view of
life will show itself and freeze every-
thing around.
A beautiful and gifted girl , who
might be made welcome wherever she
goes , can make herself disliked by all
her friends by a habi of tearing every
fellow being who ventures into her
presence to tatters with her criticism.
She does not grasp the fact that she
is deprived of much happiness which
her friends enjoy , and she would laugh
with derision if she were told that it
Is better a thousand times to be de
ceived and disillusioned again and
again and to keep one's faith in hu
man nature , than to become so critical
and uspicious that one can see noth-
ing but harm in the best of people.
But it is so , and if yo"u reflect a little
you can't help realizing i ! it :
The critical woman does not make
the best wife either. Men do not
want women of that kind as compan-
ions. Whether a man is in business
or however he is occupied , he is more
or less dependent upon his fellows for
his happiness and enjoyment. But
men as a class are disposed to be crit-
ical themselves. They are apt to lose
their ideals and their optimism as
they go through life. They need the
tonic of a joyous and hopeful woman
to balance the depressing tendency of
their own minds. Men are like chil
dren in the dark and they want a
soothing , mothering voice to say now
and then : "It's all right ; there's
nothing to be afraid of. "
It is much more pleasant to look
for honeysuckle than for thistles , bet-
ter to hunt for buttercups than , nettles.
It is a fact that in this world we find
the things which we persistently seek .
I
for. So keep ] looking for the best in
other people and you will develop the
best and happiest side of yourself.

When baby is small the milk in his
bottle is apt to get quite cold before
he has finished ; and the result Is often
a stomachache. A very good plan to
foljow to prevent this happening is
to place an india-rubber hot-water
bottle , nearly full of moderately hot
water , under the feeding bottle. In
this way the food will retain the heat
until baby has finished his meal , and
a great deal of trouble and anxiety
to nurse and mother will be saved.
Never talk secrets before a child.
Children hear a great deal more of
the grownups' conversation than their
parents give them .credit for , and It
places the older people In a very
awkward position If a child quite in-
nocently repeats a conversation he
has heard which was not meant for a
third person's ears at all. In such a
case a mother has no right to scold ,
as it Is entirely her own fault for
speaking before the child.
Cutting baby's nails is often a very
trying operation , as most little ones
when they see the scissors advancing ,
very naturally think that they are
going to be hurt. The correct way to
cut nails is straight across ; If the
corners are cut off the nails have a
tendency to grow inward , and a bad
toe or finger may result.
IIow to Plant ROSCH.
Invariably roses should be planted
by themselves , for they thrive poorly
unless allowed to absorb the entire
nourishment of a rich soil. Indeed ,
many growers believe certain varieties
do best when living apart from even
those nearest of kin and make up
their rosariums with many beds , each
holding one kind of rose , or set the
plants in rows with ample room left
between for cultivation. June , how-
ever , is not the time to plan or build
a rosarium , which can be done suc-
cessfully only in the spring or au

Ideal Wash Cloth.
Some housekeepers think old flour
"sacks make ideal wash cloths for
dishes. The chief objection is the let-
tering. These can be removed by
soaking the sacks in warm borax wa-
ter over night. In the morning
