ON THE SAND
By LOUISE OLIVER.
The swim out to t lit* sand bur am!
buck six 1 1 in os repeated hud made Tod
tired. Add to that u scorching .luly
sun, ili?? inviting shade. of u , boil oil
chttir, uiid a natural propensity for
sleep at ayy time and undor all condi
tions, tiud yuu i.'tto roadlly understand
why morpheas found lilia an ea*y vie
tlm that eventful morning.
Suddenly something hit blni with
sickening force in the solar plexus.
Then something saijj softly: "('loo!"
i<?d, With u few <je)lghted gurgles,
"(loo!" again. A baby looked up lit
lil m with placid bUte e>vos and twisted '
the corners of lis little rosvbud mouth
into u thousand smiles.
"Hello, there, mister or miss or
wlmtever you are!" Ted exclaimed.
"Where did you come from?"
Baby gurgled an answer.
"You don't say so! NVell, if >011 had
only sent word .1 might have been bet
ter prepared to receive you. 1 sup
pose ? " Ted looked around and saw
no one who appeared to have lost a
baby recently, or who might in any
way be associated with one. "I sup
pose,'' lie said, "that you fell out of
the chair, seeing that you had such
n nice soft thing to laud ou!"
"Win 11 you smile at 1110 so sweetly,
I think yoU're a girl. The girls all
like me to pieces, lienor bright!" The
wide-open blue eyes searched liliu In
quiringly. "All except one, and she
doesn't think I'm worth two for 11 cent.
Hut It's all because she doesn't know
pie. We have never been Introduced.
Ily Jove, here she comes now!"
A variety of reasons caused htm to
pick the baby up just then ? either to
hide the confusion which he always
felt when the girl caiue near, or be
cause It looked heartless to let a beau
tiful, embroidered, shell-pink baby lie
unprotected on the sand.
The gli?l passed, but not before she
had taken in the stage setting and the
chief performers of the little act.
To go back, Ted and the girl were
staying at the same hotel. He had
tried to meet her ? as he had explained
to the baby ? but no mutuul friend had
so far appeared.
The girl walked aloug with her com
panion', l)ut turned back as she saw
something lying on the sand. Ted's
heart nearly stopped when he saw her
coming, and he almost dropped the
baby, but he clutched It tightly, desper
ately, when she picked up the toy and
handed It to him, with : "Here Is your
baby's rattle!" arid, half-stopping, add
ed : "Cute little thing ? looks like
you I"
She wuS pone with that, and Ted
suddenly Wished the sailds would swal
low lii iti up and spare him any further
torment of living. Ills baby ! Merci
ful heaven? !
He laid baby In Its soft nest, gave
It the rattle and tried t*? collect his
scattered senses by another swim to
the bar. When he returned baby was
gone. He breathed more freely then.
Another day Ted came out of a
movie just as a woman passed wheel
ing a baby perambulator. Something
flew out of the carriage and landed at
his feet. He recognized the blue rattle
of his friend, the baby, and handed it
over.
"Oh. thank you I" beamed the mother
"She's always throwing It out." She
was young and pretty ? scarcely more
than a girl. It occurred to Ted to re
late the episode of the baby's fall, and
he did so, suiting Ids step to her own.
OC course, the girl passed Just then,
as the young mother was listening with
all attention to Ted.
"Darn !" he exclaimed, ?topping.
"I beg your pardon !"
He apologized profusely. "I forgot
something, and must go back If you
will excuse me," he said, as he lifted
his hat and turned In the direction the
girl had taken.
He followed, unabashed, desperate!
Ted came up beside her, and after
an irresolute minute spoke: "I should
like to talk with you just a minute, If
you don't object !"
She looked up. "Object? Well, I'll
have to listen, I suppose. Go ahead."
"That baby Isn't mlqe !"
"I know it isn't." \
"What ! Excuse me ? l\lldn't under
stand. I thought you thobgJil?
"He thought, we thought,
thought, they thought," she finished
mockingly. >
Ted was very red in the fnco by this
timer
"Now listen," said the girl. "I am
that baby's aunt. I was only teasing
you, so don't worry about it any more."
He digested this. "Why don't you
like me?" he went on. . "It's been so
evident in a hundred ways that you
don't. I'm really curious about it. Do
you mind telling me?"
* "Mercy 1" she cried. "I halve cer
tainly developed into a regular bureau
of information. But I'll tell you tliat,
too ! It's bemuse you are here having
a good time tor a month while George
Bronson, jroixr prirtner, who happens
to be my brother-in-law and that ba
by's father, is at home working his
head off in a hot office when he is
dying to be here with his family. He
can't leave as long as you are away!"
Ted was speechless. "But I'd have
gone a week ago If ? If ? It hadn't been
> for you!" he declared suddenly.
Then the girl smiled, the very sort
of a smile he wanted to see. "It's
wicked for me to keep George away
from May and the baby. Isn't It?" she
said. "Ill go home tomorrow.**
"Then 111 go, too," smiled Ted.

FEDERAL INQUIRY
IN WAGE DISPUTE
Railruaa Managers Submit
Plans to Avoid Great Strike,

ARBITRATION IS OFFERED.

New York. The anuouueetnont thai
the strike vote which has been it* prog
ress an^ng (ho train servlco employes
of Auu rlt nn railroad* for the past sev
eral weeks has been completed, ami
that t he liual demands by the union
leaders. are soon to be presented to the
railroad niuuaia-rs here, indleutes that
the pulilir will soon know whother the
controversy between the railroad work
ers and their employers is to be settled
peaceably, or whether a nation wide
strike Is to be Inflicted upon tho coun
try.
Thus far the leaders of tho four
unions? the It rosier hood of Locomo
tive Engineers. t lie Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Firemen and lCnglnemen, tho
Order of Hallway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Itallroad Trainmen?
have refused to consider any proposal
for an arbitration of tho questions In
dispute, or for settlement of tho con
troversy by tho Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Would Cost $100,000,000.
The demands of tho train service men
for an Increase in wages, which, It Is
estimated, would cost tho railroads of
tho country $100,000,000 a year, were
originally presented last March. At
that time tho representatives of the
unions asked for a conference with a
committee of railroad managers repre-.
sentlug the various railroad lines of
tho country.
This conference began here In New
York on June 1st. and continued for
two weeks. The railroads were repre
sented by a committee of nineteen
managers, iiud the brotherhoods by the
heads of their various national and lo
cal organizations? some eight hundred
men In all.
Choice of Method* Offered.
The conference failed to reach a decl
slon owing to the refusal of the union
leaders to consider r.ny modification' of
their demands, or uuy proposal for ?r
bltratlon. At the conclusion of the
meetings the railroad managers sub
milted a proposal to refer the whole
question to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, or to arbitration under the
provision of the federal statute cover
ing tills matter.
The alternative suggestions which
they advanced for adjusting the con
troversy were as follows:
"1. Preferably by submission to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
only tribunal which, by reason of its
accumulated information bearing on
railway conditions and its . control of
the revenues of the railways, is in a
position to consider and profoct the
rights and equities of all the interests
affected, and to provide additional rev
enne necessary to meet the added cost
of operation in case your pro[>osals are
found by the Commission to be just and <
reasonable; or, In the event the Inter
state Commerce Commission cannot,
under existing laws, act in the prem
ises, that we Jointly request. Congress
to take such action as may Ik? neces
gary to enable the Commission to con
sider and promptly dispose of the
questions involved; or
"2. By arbitration in accordance with
the provisions of the Federal law, cntl
tied. "An Act Providing for Mediation.
Conciliation and Arbitration in Contro
versies between Certain Employers and
their Employees," approved July 15.
1013, and commonly known as the
JNewlands Acti"
Unions Refuse Offer.
The union leaders declined to con
sider the suggestion of the railroad
managers, and announced that they !
would seek a vote of the members of ;
the unions asking that they bo given
authority to. declare a strike on all the
railroad lines of the country. This
strike vote has been in progress for the
past six weeks, and, according to re
ports which have been received here
from time to time, will result in giving
the four union leaders the authority
which they naked for to halt every
railroad train from one end of the
country to the other.
: Meanwhile a resolution has been in
troduced Into Congress at the request
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to investigate
the whole question of railway wages
and their relation to railway earnings.
The commercial interests, the newspa
pers, and public men of the nation
have Rone on record as demanding that
the dispute be settled peaceably.
What the Pdblic Pays.
Out of every dollar the public p ays
the railroad* for transports Ion the rail*
road employes receive 44 cents. The
traveler who spends $100 s yesr for his
tickets Is paying $44 for railroad labor.
The merchant whose freight bills
amount to llvOOO contributes 9440 to
the railroad payroll. The merchant
gets the money from his customers la
the prlosa ha charges for his wares.

A watch is intended to tell you the time of day. Ujiless
it does this accurately it is worse than useless, for it is
like the man you Cannot depend upon. Many a man has
twenty-five or thirty dollars tied up in a watch which is
worthless when if he would invest a dollar or two for
having it repaired he would get the full value of it.
Often a watch which does not keep proper time needs
