By Joseph S. Jordan. (Staff Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 11.— The “elaborations” of Gov. Miller's trac- tion programme have in no wise re- laxed the vigilance or activities of the “lookouts” for the interests of home? rule for Greater New York. The opposition to the bill, as it was originally contemplated, amd as it yet May be introduced, haa been steadily growing, and there js no doubt that it has spread up-State, Legislators are treated to daily ocular demonstrations in the trolley strike in Albany of what it would mean to New York City to be strip- ped of {ts control over its transit facilities. Tie United Traction Com- pany was given an 8-cent fare be- cause its franchise from Albany con- tains no fare fixation clause. The lawmakers from up-State have awakened to the reniization that what has been done in Albany may be done, not only in New York City, but in thelr own home towns. As ffoon as the United Traction Company got their 8-cent fare they reduced the wages of their men from 60 cents to 45 cents an hour and the men struck, with the result that Albany, Rens- seluer, Troy and eevern) adjoining towns have been without trolley serv- fee for two weeks, blood has been shed and a lot of men injured. Men from up-State, who arv inde- pendent of “boss” rule, will vote for home rule. There has not been yet @ round up of the Republican Sena- tors of Greater New York to place them on record as to whether they are going to bow to “boas rule” or the other kind. GOVERNOR REPRESENTED AS NOT AGAINST HOME RULE. Home rute will be recognized in Gov. Miller's traction programme 60 far as the complegion of the three- headed transit commission is con- cerned. The commission will consist of residents of New York City, and accomiing to those in the Chief Execu- tive's confidence, they will be men of the highest class and above criticism. It may be that Mayor Hylan and Comptroller Craig will be made ex- officio members of the commission, the two city officials were members et the old Rapid Transit Commission. ‘Thore will be no increase in fares, temporary or otherwise, without con- ces#ions being made by the traction lines, But as to the city’s voice in the changing of contracts there is a new rumor to-day. According to this: ‘The city authorities will be cun- sulted on all angles of the situation during the commission's inveatiga- tions, but will have no vote on any changes which may be carrie out PLAN OF MLLER CHAPTER YI. (Conteneed,) 6 B are all movers,” said Kelso. “We cannot stay where we are for a single day—not if we are alive, Most of us never reach that eminence from which we dis- cover the littleness of Ourselves and our treubles and achievements and the immensities of power and wi dom by which we are surrounded.’ At least one of that company was to remember the words in days of adver- sity and triumph, Soon after that dinner the memories of the little com- munity began to register an unusual Procession of thrilling facts, Barly in April an Indian scare spread from the capital to the re- motes corners of the State, Black Hawk, with many warriors, had crossed the Mississippi and was mov- «ng wward the Rock River country. Gov. Reynolds called for volunteers to check the Invasion. Abe, whose address to the voters had been printed in the Sangamon Jotirpal, joined a yolunteer company and soo became its Captain. On tbe 10th of Apri! he and Harry Needles left for Richland to go int) iraining. Satmion waa eager io go, but could not leave bis Casily, Bim Kelso rode out into the telds Where Harry was at work the dity before he went “This la a salu warry, ‘I don't see you any more +xcept at a distance.” | “L don't éee you either.” “I didn’t think you wanted to see “You're easily discouraged,” she said, lookiag down with a gerious tace. “You made me feel as if I didn’t want to Ive any longer.” ‘There was half a moment of si- lence, She ended it by saying: “Ann and L are going to the spell- ing sohool to-night.” “Can go with you?” “Could you stand it to be talked to and scolded by a couple of girls till you didn't care what happened to you?” I've got to be awful care- less."" “We'll be all dressed up and ready at quarter of sight. Come to the tavern, I'm going to have supper with Ann, She is just terribly happy. John MoNell has’ told her that he loves her. It's a secret, Don't you tel." "I won't. Does she love him?” “Devotedly; but she wouldn't let him know it—not yet," “No?” “Course not. She pretends she's in love with somebody else. It's the best gray. I reckon he'll be plum anxious before she owns up. But she The traction heads will have av voice, either, in any modifications of the city contracts.

What appeur to be changes are styled by those in the counsel of the Chief Pxecuuive as “elaborations” of his plan. Gov. Miller told the legislative cor- respondents that the fare was omty an incident in his traction pro- gramme, that there were far wore Important considerations that he had in mind, among them being improve- ment in the service. , Woman, Ml, Leaps to Death, Miss Mary Regan, fifty, who lived with her sister, Mrs. Helen McLaughlin of No, 152 West 100th Street, leaped to her death early to-day from the roof of Ithe six-story bullding at that address, |Bhe had been Il] a long time and, uc- cording to her sister, was despoi ghe was to dergo to-day.

Ile did not go to the spelling school. Abe came at seven and sald that he and Warry would have to walk to Springfield that night and get their equipment and take the stage in the morning, Abe suid if they started right away they could get to the Globe Tavern by midnight. In the hurry and excitement Harry forgot the Spelling school. To Rim it was a tragic thing, Before he went to bed that wight he wrote adetter to her CHAPTER VII, TH no knowledge of mil!- tary gervice and a com pany of untrained men, Abe had no chance to win jeurels in the campaign, His eom- ‘mand gid not get in touch with the T heard Mrs.! enemy. He had hia hands full main« talning a decent _regard for dis- cipline among the raw frontierwmea of his company. He saved the life of an innocent old Indfan, with a passport from Gener Cass, who had fuilen into their hands and whom, in their excitement and lust for action, they desired to hans. This was the only incident of term of service which gave him t least satisfaction. Early im the campaign Harry Needles had been sent with a mes- sage to headquarters, where he wow the regard of Col. Taylor and was ordered to the front with a company of scouts. No member of the com~ mand had been so during. He bad the reckiessness of youth and iia wayward indifference to peril, Boune, a son of Daniel, used to spettig of “the luck of that daredevil farmer y. After being mustered out, Abe and Harry started for home. A letter from James Rutledge told Abe that Him Kelso had eloped with Biggs and wes now in St. Louis, “Have you heard from home?" asked as they paddled along the river, vol a word,” Bud Harry. You're not expecting to meet Keis)? “That‘’e the best part of getting home for me," said Harry, turning with a smile, “Let her drift for a minute,” said Abe. “I've got a letter fram James Rutledge that 1 want, to read to you, There's a big lesson in it for both of ue—something w remember as long us we live,” Abe ead the letter. H sot motionless, Slowly his head Bent for- ward unui his chin touched his breast, Abe said with a tender note in his volce as he folded the letter: “This man is well along in life. # hasn't youth to help him as you have. See how he takes it and she's tha only child be has. There ure millione of pretty” gtris the wortd for you te choose from.” “I know It, but there's only one Bim Kelso in the world," Harry angwered mournfully, “She was the one [ loved.” “Yes but youll find another. I looks serious but it isn't—you're sv young. Hold up your head and keep jeulm. You'll be happy again soon,”* “Maybe, but [ don't see how,” said the boy. “There are lots of things you can't see from where you are at this pres ent movement, There are a good ‘many miles ahead o' you 1 reckon and one thing you'll see plainly, by and by. that {t's all for the besi. | Tve suffered a lot myself, but f can | see Dow it hus been a help to mo | There isn’t an hour of it i'd be will- ling to give up.” | They paddled along in silence for | a time, “It was my fault,” said Harry preg ently. “I never could say the half I wanted to when she was with me. My tongue Is too slow. She gave mo a dhance and I wasn’t man enough to take it, That's all I've got to say on that subject." : He seemed to find it hard to keep his word for in a moment he added: “T wouldn't have been 60 good @ scout if it hadn't been for her. ¥ jRuess the Injuns would have got mo but when T thought of her L jus’ kept going” “t think you did you were a brave duty to perform,” Some time his father the It just becansd man and had w ard in a letter to wrote: boy “T often think of that ride down the wiver and the way he talked tw me.
