NOTHER horrible disaster of the sort so appallingly common A on the New Haven system. The facts, as the public sternly notes, bear only the same grim significance as others that bave gone before. The engineer ran past the signals. The signals were of the type which the Public Utilities Commission had condemned. Telescoped | and shattered sleeping cars in which seventeen persons lost their | lives were of wood. There was not a single steel sleeping car on) either of two heavy trains. As for the “lesson” to be learned, the collision at North Haven an contain no lesson that the New Haven Railroad has not taught for the past two years with tragic, awful iteration. Its out-of-date wooden car equipment, its treacherous signal system that allows two trains to be on the same track within a few yards of cach other, its engineers who run past signals when time presses—all these things ore « familiar, ghastly part of New Haven operation. This is the railroad which for years sacrificed honest railroading to the ambitions of its money-mad directors. It chose to spend hun- @reds of millions not on safety but in colossal schemes of high finance. And now ite dividends are dividends of death. —_——_+-—_____. A FIXED IDEA.

Not long ago Prof. George H. Blakeslee, after months of travel and observation in South America, reported that “from the bean to the Straits of Magellan” there persists a settled dread ‘ankee Imperialism” and s conviction that the United States in due time to conquer and annex all of the remaining coun- to the south of us.” As an American resident put it: “South Americans have not been so much concerned over the deplorable con- in Merico as over the question whether we would intervene.” There is the difficulty. It is « hard job to be friend and peace- toward folks who are desperately sure you are out to steal and who have decided in advance that your every move i stealthy scheme of selfish, far-sighted cunning. But no that patience and restraint no less than firmness with touchy, suspicious Mexico are going to gain us Ultimately more than the respect.and gratitude of a Mexican nation restored to soundness and health.

His poverty. self-reliant ways also attracted the pity and interest of March, daughter of the Local Mayor. Fletcher gave the boy work. Ina few years John wae manager Quaker'’s business and was living in his employer's home, He and had grown to manhood together as close friends. One summer .@uriag cation, they met and were attracted by a beautiful girl; the ward of & equire in the neighborhood. The girl was Ursula March, who had 6s long befriended John when he was a ragged little boy. John recalled Bimself to her memory; for he was in no way ashamed of his lowly origin. Yet he felt the immeasurable gulf between his owa social station and that of the girl he had learned to love. To his boundless delight and aston- ishment he found that Ursula was willing to bridge that gulf and to cast in her lot wtih bis, "s E z fi Her friends were furious at what they deemed her folly in a band so much beneath her, and her guardian refused to give the girt the tune they were holding in trust for her. Braving less of riends and of fortune, ghe married John Halifax, ‘whe ¥ this time had become Mr. Fletcher's partner. Soon afterward dark gays set in. Mr. Fletcher and John found his iate partners business was by 9e means what had been supposed. The mills were doing badly, and labor bles were rife. Capitalists who nad thought to make use of John's influetiee further their political schemes, found him incorruptible, and revenged elves by trying to injure him. His eldést daughter, too, was born blind. But through sterling manhood and tireless energy, Halifax began at last to forge ahead. His workers and his neighbors trusted him. His business adeo- clates honored his integrity. As fast as his opponents sought to block -Bts Guocess along on he struck out with still greater success along another, * For example: Lord Luxmore (a nobleman whose corrupt deals Joha had frustrated), turned away the water from the Halifax mills, leaving their wheels idle, John installed @ steam engine—a novelty in thage daye—and his mille Drospered more than ever, As the years went on, Luxmore's son, young Lord Ravenel, fell in love with Jobn's younger daughter Maud. It would have been a great marriage for the girl. She would in time Fave become Countess of Luxmore Yet, though John Halifax had consented to bis own son’s love match with a penniless gov- erness, he utterly refused to allow Maud to marry ihe young nobleman until Ravenel should prove himself worthy and should live down the Luzmore fam- ily's ill-repute. In the course of his argument with the lover, John sald: “Do you recognize what you were born to be? Not only # nobleman, but Gentleman. Not only a gentleman, but a MAN—made in the image of God.” “You mean, what I might havo been,” sighed Ravenel w jt is too late” “There is no such word as ‘too late’ in the wide wor! s John's retort. Ravenel, in an effort to live up to John’s ideas, left home and wealth and rank, and emigrated to America, With him were John Halifax's son, Guy, They formed @ business partnerehip in Boston, and after @ hard fight against adversity, achieved success, A few years later they started back to England. ‘Their ship was wrecked and they were mourned as But they escaped, and afier many adventures arrivi at the Halifax home. There, when John had learned of Ravenel's new mode of life and of his successful struggle in America, all op Position to his union with Maud was withdrawn. Full of years and honors, bis brightest hopes falfilled, and the world im measurably better for his passage through it, Jonn Halifax died. Ursula outlived, bim by only a few hours.
