R. T., announces through the Public Servico Commission that during the next two months his com- pany will voluntarily try the experiment of granting a Coney Island over its ele- vated lines at certain in- convenient hours of the day, and not including Sat- urdays, Sundays and legal holidays. It is not a rea- sonable proposition, the Colonel declares, but the soncesston will be made in a spirit of charity. If the experiment proves too costly, it need not be repeated another summer. For what we'are about to receive let us be duly thankfal. But fhiere is no occasion just yet for fireworks and public rejoicing. If * the B. R. T. and the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad Company cannot now see reasonableness in anything short of a ten-cent fare for everybody all the time, there seems little hope that the philan- thropic test now proposed will bring about any change of heart. Inu shurt, the oppressive tenwent tariff may still look forward to long life and prosperity. Evidently the Public Service Oom- mission—which has adjourned until the middle of October—is not going to stand in its way. Why should a matter of such great and immediate importance be subjected to dubious “experiment”? Must a rich and powerful corporation apply such wearisome precautionary tests to discover if it can afford to carry the city’s millions to their own natural breathing epot without charging them double fares? Why should the city establish « public bathhouse at Ooney Island beach if the people can’t afford to go there? Shall the opening of these baths, promised next week, be further postponed to await the result of the B. R. T.’s experiment? What do commuters and real estate investors on the far side of Kings Highway think about the metter so far? Do they want more time for consideration and experiment? ive citizens who attended the hearings on Monday and Thursday of this week, whet the Public Service Commission or dered the transit officials to appear and answer the question as to whether they were doing the right thing by the people or not, could have given expert testimony in the case, had they been permitted. But the companies required more time for consultation and investi- gation, hence the abrupt edjournment. The B. R. T’e ultimatum wes, “We'll fight ft out on this ten- cent line, if it takes all summer.” In all probability it ie going to take longer than that, ee Oe FOOT FAULTS. OOT FAULTS IN TEN- NIS” i the title of a current technical thesis which doubtless is sound and helpful enough, as far as % goes. But some live stuff about foot faults in general would have a vastly wider application than whet merely touches on and appertains to the tennis player who in serv- ing loses a point by ewing- ing his free foot over the baseline while hitting a ‘ swipe at the ball with his recquet. ‘A common foot fault in care s planting one or both pedals @m the seat fecing or in front. Omitting the doormat and walking over tapestry carpets and Persian rugs with muddy shoes may be magnified to a foot crime. Treading on your partner’s feet in dancing belongs in the eame category. Shuffling, stamping, gum- shoeing, or wearing squeaky footgear, all are minor misdemeanors which ought to be discouraged. Tight shoes, also, are on the list. Spats, especially white ones, involve a question that has never been jadicially settled. But the unwritten law is against them, Not to be able to open one’s mouth without putting one’s foot in it, is undoubtedly a foot delinquency. So is the chronic habit| of kicking at everything and everybody. Pumping the pianola after 11 P.M. is always reprehensible foot work. With too many people, at any hour, it amounts to murder—of music, at least. Letters From the People “What Is the Trans Te the Editor of The Brening W: Readers, what is the tra: the following verse?

BERT LANDRY, a young French sculptor, was betrothed to Ga erine Duval. Catherine was one of Paris's loveliest girls, and hei beauty had captured the heart of the Count St. Valerie. Tht Count's wily friend, the Abbe Latour, promised to find a way & separate the lovers and to enable St. Valerie to marry Catherine. The year was 1771. The rotten old French monarchy was at the hetgh) of its corrupt power. A word from a royal favorite was enough to send any man to a cell in the Bastile. Latour had high influence at court. He trumped up a charge of treason against Landry and secured a royal war rant for the sculptor’s arrest. He also managed to make Landry believe that Catherine was false to him. As Landry was reproaching Catherine with her supposed Infidelity and before she could explain her innocence, a file of soldiers appeared, led by Latour. They seized Landry and bore him off to the Bastile, Catherine's father was also accused of treason. To save him from Prison (and being told by Latour that Landry was dead), the unhappy girl eon ented to marry the Count St. Valerie, A few years after the marriage thy Count died, leaving Catherine with one son, Arthur, and appointing Latour @ the boy’s tutor, . . Seventeen years passed. The French people, so long oppressed by the arte tocracy, rose at last in fury against their tyrants. The Bastile prison had ab ways been the symbol of tyranny, So in July, 178, the mo} seized and destroyed it. Among the wretched captives they set free was Robert Landry. For seventeen years Landry had been chained, lke ¢ wild beast, in a dark cell. He had grown feeble and tia eously unkempt, and had endured a living death, One impulse alone had kept him alive—the mad yearning for revenge against Latour and St. Valerie, the med who had robbed him of freedom and of love, Old friends in the Bastile mob recognized the wretched captive. him back to health and strength. Bit by bit he learned all that had happened during his long imprisonment. Latour was prosperous. Catherine Duval was €%t rich Countess de St. Valerie, and had seemingly forgotten her old sweetheart ‘The world lay empty and dreary before Rovert Landry. Prison itself had bees Jess horrible. In anguish he erted: “My heart ts dead! Henceforth he devoted every energy to avenging his wrongs, ‘The Revoluttot Durst over France, Aristocrats by the hundred were dragged to the gullotine ‘The People were taking terrible revenge for centurles of oppression.

Death sentence was passed upon them. As Arthur was merely a guilty father's son, Landry was content to let thy young man perish on the scaffold. But this seemed to him too tight a penalty to inflict on Latour, He had Latour brought from his cell into an ofMfce of tht Conclergerte prison. There, laying a pair of swords on a table, Landry forced hin to choose one of them and to fight for his life. ‘The duel was brief. In a few moments Landry had laid Latour dead at his feet, ‘On the dead man's body was found an old letter from tne Count de @¢ Valerie, Landry read it.
