Su: picion had been partially diverted from himself, but only par- tlally,'as he well knew, to return like a tidal wave, deepened and Sntensified by personal animosity, whenever the facts he had thus far so carefully concealed should become known. He gave little thought to this, however, except as it Influ- enced him in planning ‘his course of action for the next few days. He was aroused from his revery by the sound of approach- ing steps, and, turning, met Mr. Whitney. ‘Ah, Mr. Scott, I was just looking for you. 1 thought possibly you had slipped back to the city with the crowd.

I know a gentleman when I seo him, un- less I happen to lose my head, and that doesn't occur very often. Now it's different with the governor. He's got #0 confoundedly wrought up over that will, don't you know, that he, can't think of anything else, and there's no reason in im." “As I understand it,” remarked Scott, ‘Mr, Mainwaring expects to win the property in any case, either for you or for himself.” “Yes; and naturally you might think that the loss of the will wouldn't amount to much, one way or the other; but it's \Wke this: The governor and I are very different: I know we've got plenty of ducats, and that’s enough for me, but nor for him; he is ambitious. It has always galled him that we were not in the direct line of descent from the main branch of the Mainwarings: and It has been his one great ambition since the death of old Ralph Mainwaring, Hugh's father, a fow, years before I was born, to, win Into his own family the old Mainwaring estate. He had an idea that Hugh would sever marry. and gave me his name, hopin; that I would be made his helr. Should the governor succe in this scheme of his, he will !mmediately buy back the (Main- waring estate, although he knows I don't care a rap for the whole thing, and he will then have the honor. as he con- siders it, of perpetuating the old family line. On the ovher hand, if the property gen to the nearest helra, it will be divided between him and his younger brother, who has no more ambition than I have, and though he is at present a bachelor, that {s no guaranteé that he will remain one; and, anyhow, it {sn't Ikely thet there will be much of his share left when he gets through with it. So you see how much importance the governor attached to that will. “T understand,” said Scott, as his companion paused. “My first visit'to this country has proved an eventful one,” aid young Mainwaring, a8, at a, Inte hour, they finally sepa- rated for the night, ‘and I don't know yet how it may ter- minate; but thore's one thing I shall look back upon with feasure, and that is my mecting with you.

Consequently there is a space between the concrete platform of the bridge and the shelves over the — steps of the cars varying all the way from six inches to a couple of feet The crowds are so kind and gentle in trying to get on in a hurry so that those behind will have more room that it is impossible for a passenger to eee his feet or where he ts stepping. “The employees of the alleged system stand off and ‘baw! at the people who have paid for a ride to ‘Look out where you step there!’ This is hollered so persistently that everybody hoists his feet like a ball player on a muddy dlamond, and halt tho residents of Brooklyn are getting string- halted. “Many of the cars were built for the old ‘L’ roads and the hustling B.

So you are frequently treated to the spectacle ot a four-car train on which at least six platforms should be available for the entrance of passengers getting along with three or four platforme because the rest have no steps on them. This helps to keep the crowds longer at the stations and gift them into the cars more slowly, thereby lengthening the running time between trains and making It posalble to reduce the number of trains on the line. “Great heads!” ejaculated the Cigar Store Man. “Look out where you step there!
