This company, with overloading as high as 247 per cent., with thousands of standing passengers in rush hours and non-rush hours, with maximum service cut to a scant forty minutes and with overcrowding lasting almost continuously all day, is disclosed by the records to have far outstripped the Brooklyn Rapid Transit in cutting service in defiance of the public needs of the B, R. 'T., some attempts have been made to meet the increased traffic by increasing service. An exception is the Sea Beach Line, on which rush hour trains were re- duced from fifteen to ten per hour, Increasing the overload from 34 to 120 per cent. Five lines on the B. R. 'T. show overcrowding during non-rush hours. They are the West End Line, which carries a midday load of 188 per cent of seating capacity, tie Broadway, Brooklyn, line, which carries 163 per cent.; the Sea Beach line, with 117 per cent; the Fourth Avenue, with 105 per cent., and the Broadway, Manhattan, with 128 per cent, In no instance, however, does overloading on the B. R. T. run as high as on the Interborough subway, and on the Ful- ton Street and the Myrtle Avenue lines adding more cars was followed by a reduction of overload, Although the Manhattan elevated lines have cut their service, the fewer 3: | passengers !as meant that the over- loads were less in percentage than they were five years ago. On the Sec- ond Avenue express, however, trains have been cut from 21 to 15 per hour, while the overload has increased from 39 to 68 per cent. With trains re- duced from 19 to 15, the Ninth Avenue expresses are carrying overloads of 62 per cent. Trains per hour hav- ing been cut from 16 to 11, Second Avenue locals carry an overload of 28 per cent. Speaking last night before the Royal Arcanum at the Grand Opera House, Arthur McKinney, Assistant Secretary to the commission, said full relief of rush hour crowding could come only through the co-operation of the travelling public. “Passengers,” he sald, “insist on standing at the foot of station stair- ways, blocking entrance to the cars, and ‘upon standing as near the doors as possible. In many cases the first and last cars of trains are only half occupied. It is true that transporta- tion facilities during non-rush hours are inadequate, but the proceedings under way before the Transit Commis sion will practically eliminate that situation."* ———>——_.

The cape cos- tume will be ‘the smartest sort of costume, achieving, In the way they are made, a swagger air quite unlike anything they have ex- pressed before. Some of the capes are attached from the shoulders, falling only down the back, re- vealing the entire front of the frock, which it matches either in fabric or color. Of such a type is the cape costume I have de- signed for to-day, the cape being cut circular, so that if its warmth is necessary, it can be wrapped about the front of the wearer, The individuality of the model occurs in the two points which fasten the cape to the shoulders, and their repetition in the eut of the lower bodice portion of the frock. An effect of deal harmony between frock and cape is thus de- lightfully demonstrated. Bands of narrow black and white soutache bring & these points to marked attention, and also serve to trim the long wide sleeves. Bright blue eponge or dark hlue Poiret twill would be good me- diums for the interpretation of this model, which could be lined with black satin or figured dark blue and white foulard. Foulard is much used for linings of capes, DOCTOR HELD UP Drug-Crazed Youth Dis How a youthful armed hold-up mah was converted into a friend and went aWay repentant was told to-day by Dr. Guy Wendell Burns of No. 49 West Sith Street. His visitor had entered the reception room and removed his rain-soaked overcoat before the doc- tor asked that he be shown into the consulting room. “Stand up!" ordered the visitor, pointing a revolver at the doctor, who obeyed. “Got any chloral?" asked the youth. He asked about morphia and co- caine and received a like answer. ‘The doctor then inquired why he wanted a drug. “I’m suffering,” the hold-up man explained. "I had an operation two yours ago, A doctor in Ch o had Leen supplying me with chloral, He's dead.” When asked how much chloral he had been using he replied fifteen centimetres, and added: “lve got to fix you so I can get Turn around.” He started to xpressed the opinion that the young man didn’t rob as a regular thing. “No,” he explained, “I'm a civil en- and Theft, Refuses All Physician’s Money and Shakes Hands at Parting.

In reply to questions he said he was of a good Southern family. He felt so much confidence in the doctor that he put the revolver in his pocket.

As ® result, Brenner was thrown off bal- ance and to the ground, as suddenly as any pedestrian who steps on a banana peel. His shoulders were the first part of him to touch the floor. By the time he was down he was springing up again, calling out in anger at his own awkwardness, his voice blending with Hilda's low cry of terror. . But with catlike swiftness the Hindu had leaped upon him, driving for the almost prostrate man's throat with the curved knifeblade and, by sheer weight throwing Brenner back to the floor before Roy could get his own sprawling legs under him or fend off the assailant. Helpless he lay. as the curved blade swept down at him. Hilda‘ ran forward to catch the Hindu's arm be- fore it could descend. But she was too far away. In the same moment of anguished suspense a wild beast snarl reverber- ated through the room, There was a sound of the rending of rotten canvas. And through the air, like a fiunz spear, a tawny and white mass hurled itself upon the Hindu. Scott, wearying of the long lonely wait in the Gray Room, leaped to the stone shelf and nosed aside the cut portrait of “Laughing Man."" By scent he followed his master’s trail up secret stairway. Reaching the alcove behind the li- brary portrait the great collie had paused. The trail led no further. But both scent and sound told him Roy was in the room on the far side of this second battered sheet of can- vas. Then came to his sensitive nostrils the hated scent of Rham Dass. As the dog hesitated came FPren- ner’s cry of anger and of stress. Scott waited for nothing more. Bin loved master was in peril. That was all the collie knew or cared to know. He hurled himself against the canvas which barred him from the room. He would have hurled himself with equal fury against a stone wall which sep- arated him from Roy in the !atter's moment of dire need. ‘The canvas gave way at his onset. and had had the had the the back of the Hindu, whom for the second time that day he saw attack- ing the master he adored. At the impact, the Hindu lurched forward and sideways. The knife's thrust deflected, ploughed a furrow in inch from the floor boards a half Roy's throat. \ Brenner, shaking off the double weight on his chest, scrambled to his feet, but Rham Dass did not follow his example. In futile terror, the Hindu was thrashing about on his face, his back-thrust arms striving in vain to dislodge Scott from his shoulders, Hilda started forward but Roy stopped her. Pushing her gently to one side he stood between the strug: gling foes and herself. “Don’t look!'? he commanded. is not a pleasant sight.’" Yet Roy made no move to call off the raging collie. He noted that the rending jaws had at last gained the grip they sought—at the nape of Rham Dass’s neck. ‘There was a grinding sound as Scott threw all the mighty strength of his jaws into one effort. Then the Hindu kicked convulsively, trembled all over, and lay still. His neck was broken. ‘The great dog stepped back, un- called, and stood looking gravely down on his work. “Rham Dass has fainted,"’ reported Brenner, rising from a hasty inspec- tion of the dead man. I'm going, to hide him hind this screen, in case the others come in. When he begins to recover his senses it will be time enough to figure what to do with him. ‘hese Orientals have wire-strung nerves.

Hilda was standing beside the col- lie, stroking Scott's huge ruff and speaking gently to quiet him. Bren- ner noticed the effort wherewith she forced herself to calmness in face of the shock she had undergone. And he was grateful she believed his story of the Hindu’s swoon. There would be time later for her to learn the truth. “You are a secret service agent?” she challenged, harking back to the declaration he had made when the deaf mute’s attack had broken in on their talk, “Then what brings you here? We are not lawbreakers.” 0?" he answered, watching her narrowly. ‘'Then suppose you tell m2 how yon chance to make periodic journeys upstream in your launch, at twilight, to carry something to a man who comes down the river in a motor~ boat from Nyack to receive it?”’ For 4 moment she looked at him in silence, Then she said: ‘It is a se- eret.
