The pessimistic shrug of the shoulders was emphasized by Mr, Parsons's next remark, which he made In his elightly Dored, highly cultivated Engtieh voice, as indifferently ae if it had been a casual comment on the weather. “I have been studying the problem of transporting New York crowds for years, and really after all the time I have given to it the only effeotive rem- edy for present conditions I can sug- gest is to pass a law preventing the People from travelling.” velling.’’ mind when Mr. Parsons began his speech, But they wore short-lived.

His First Love Affair, IR CHARLES CARPW had reached S the age of two and twenty without fallme in love, He was the iast surviving member of the “head strong Carowe,” the family whose mem- bers for generations had been so noted for the fatal resulte of thelr self-will that this sume wiifulness had become known as “the course of the Carews." Bir Antony Carew, Carlos's father, had died through a headstrong act, and in dying bad made his gentle young wife swear to bring their only eon up to avold the curse, to Jeatn gelf-control and to be obedient to her. Lady Carew had honestly tried to ac- complish all this, but hers was a gentle and ylelding nature, and the boy grew up unrestrained. He had now left home for the first time, and was a member of his friend Lord Stanieigh’s house party at the latter's country seat. And there Carlos met his fate in the person of pretty Maggie Waldron, daughter of Stanleigh's land steward. It came about this wise: Carlos had gone for a stroll in the Stanleigh woods one morning. So had Maggie. She was simply and prettily dressed, and, owlng to some years spent in town with her aunt, who owned a shop, had an alr of pseudo re- finement rather beyond that of most girls of her station, After wulking some distance she felt tired, and sat down to rest in the very heani of the woods. She took off her hat to let the cool wind play inthe masses of her dark glossy hair, Near mulere she gut grew some poppies; the pink roges in her hat looked faded and Insigniicant beside the crimon flowers, So she wreathed the popples in thelr place, laughing Kaxly as ane Suddenly a fell grace.

There are no more streets through which elevated roads could be bulit. We are considering the construction of more underground roads as I eald be- fore. We will simply keep on building, but'—end here Mr. Parsons smiled— “really the best plan would be to pass the law I suggested prohibiting the people from travelling. You see, they will do it.” “What do you think of the possibill- ties of aerial navigation?” asked the reporter, vistons of an interskyscraper system of navigable balloons for a moment brightening the seemingly hope- less outlook for rapid transit. Again Mr. Parsons smiled amiably but condescendingty. “Of course,” the reporter added hur- rietly, ‘it will have to be imvented or Srratheranesre hen faite ‘that, he “TI think I would stick to the first wort oe? ° bor Byes tT wore you," replied the engineer. “Tt] a4 ome aces asahnom tempered will have to be invented first.

Mr. Parsons and a young man whe had brought in a fonnmfdebte-lookirig plan to submit to hint laughed outright. When he had recovered his gravity Mr, Parsons eald: ‘The bridge crush will be lessened for a thme at least when te road we are constructing through Jorale mon etreet to South Ferry i# completed.” “Wil the underground roads which ‘ou will construct when the subway completed be like those of the London tubular aystem?” “That {8 @ mere detail of constrac- tion," was the reply. ‘Whether they mill be tubular or shallow like the pres. ent road means merely whether we ‘will bulla them ten or fifteen or bed or three hundred feet underground. © whole thing is simply thet the ie York crowds are growing and will com. tinue to grow faster than we can ull new roads for their t ‘ransportation,' And this ended an interview with Chief Engineer of the Rapia * aymem, who, after years deveted 10 2a York’ study of Pak humor.
