The only way to get the street car companies to put on more cars is to convince | them and the public that the new rule means business, and that, there- | fore, increased service is imperative. The courts cannot do their part too soon.

CHAPTER XXVI. ATURALLY Dorothy's accl- dent would keep Jane in town, and I hated to leave without her, But as Dr. | Webb said I must decide immediately, I determined to broach the matter to Jano at once, All day as I went about among my patients or listened to their ailments in the office I weighed the pros and cons of the new venture. I decided I could see Nothing against it, but much in its favor, Then, too, I flattered myself I was also thinking of Jane, She had so often expressed herself as anxious to get away to live in a larger place where she would have more to en- tertain her, meet more people to her liking, Naturally she would be pleased. As 1 was on my way to see @ very wick patient I passed Lucius Hem- ming, who bowed affably——as he ways did, . 1 returned his senareson coldly, thinking as I did 60 keep Jane away from the Hem- mings. I did not take into consideration that place, and they had the only peopl ith whom Jane had any social life whatever, But the thought remained with me that if we went to Chicago it would break up her friendship with them. to my determination, that night after dinner I had a talk with Jane, ‘Jano,” I commenced, “how would you like to go to Chicago to live?

When I asked her she only laughed again; but it was a laugh full of something 1 could not define, a laugh that troubled me. “If you have any good reasons to advance ejther way I wish you would do it now,” I said, still uneasy, “Or hereafter forever hold your peace!" Dorothy quoted, interrupting. We both laughed at the way 3! had finished my sentence, and the tension that seemed strained was broken, “Where should we live?” Jano asked, more brightly. “In the city?” “That's the only place to live,” Dor- othy again interrupted. “I was so cross when dad moved into the gub- urbs.” “We will ive somewhere on the North Side, as near the hospital as we can.” “I've been told ‘the North Side is charming,” Jane said, then laughed again, And again that queer expres- sion crossed her face—a sort of help. less resignation, as though » hin were happening over which she ba absolutely no control, “Don't you wart to go, Jane?” asked, pussied by her manner, “Y, have been wishing to get away from here ever since we first came.
