JITNEY MEN PLAN TO
FIGHT PROPOSED LAW
Association Members Meet to
Combat What They Gall Un
fair Legislation.
Plans to combat Ihe proposed Philadel
phia JUpId Transit Jitney legislation In
Councils were formulated nt a meeting
of the board of trustees of the Philadel
phia Jitney Association today, nnd a spe
cial committee was appointed to watt
upon tho Law Committee of Councils to
urge that jitney owners tra allowed to
.charge more than f cents when covering1
routes from Shunk streot to Erlo avenuo
or from tho ferries to tho county line.
Owners nnd operators of such automo
biles assert that they would bo put out
of business should Councils pass the or
dinance as it now stands, aa tho minimum
cost of running such a vehicle Is 3 cents
n mile. They also point out that tho pro
posed legislation would permit taxlcabs
to charge JJ.M for tho same distance that
the jitneys would covor for 6 tents
John J. Fow, attorney for the associa
tion, who una said to have made n
statement on Saturday agreeing that tho
proposed ordinance won satisfactory, ex
plained today that ho misunderstood tho
queitlon naked by htm by Uio iiowspnpcr
reporters, for although ho believes all
parts of the ordinance satisfactory except
that regulating tho fores In cxtendod
Jones, Is of tho opinion that this feature
alono would drive Jitneys out of tho busi
ness Mr. Fow pointed out that It wna out of
all reason to nsk Jitneys to run six mllis
ana mora for o cents, us Is proposed by
tho ordlnano", an ho declared Hint no cur
can bo operated for less than 3 cint? n
mile, ilo said that the Jitney Associa
tion nas in tnvor of a reasonable lcgls
trutlon fee and bend, and of examination
of cars and drlvrn. by city olllclnla named
for that puiposo. He explained thnt tho
chief complaint at present was that
against tho Uxlng of the prlco for certain
zones at an unieasonablo ruto.
In speaking of the situation faced by
tho jitney men of tills city nn otllclal of
tho Philadelphia Jitney Association sald-
"tt is true that we agreed to a tlccnso
fee of JiO and tho furnishing of a bond
to the extent of I2M0 for the protostlon
of tho public In tho case of accident. Hut
theio's nothing doing when It la proposed
to withdraw the jitneys from the streets
upon which car lines nro operated In
order to give tho P. It. T. free rein and
to provent our competing with It."
Residents of this city havo willingly
voiced their protost agnlnst the passago
of tho proposed ordlnnnco by signing tho
hundreds of petitions that tho Individual

CHAPTER IV-(Conttnued)
Mr. Huron wai a man of leisure. He
had no visible means of subsistence and
nobody knew anything of his """1' '
his remote antecedents. But ho had been
living at comfprtnblo rooms In Clarges
street nnd moving freely In good society
these 10 years past, so people had long
slnco ceased to as memneivoi
was or whence ho came. Tor that mat
ter, In the particular Bet to which no
nnd Mrs Plcssoy belonged, suoh ques
tions were seldom asked Tho Important
thing was whnt sort of a call you made
at "auction" or what sort of a figure
you cut In tho tango; and In those re
spects Mr. Huron wag nlmost ns well
.qualified ns his friend nnd patroness, the
universally popular "Oracle."
Ucr thoughts entirety with the man she
had left on tho deck of tho Sldl, Maud
was unconscious of the anxious whisper
ing going on between her mother and
friend In the stern of tho launch. It
was not until they wero nil three seated
In Huron's motorcar on their way across
London that sho roused herself suffi
ciently from her abstraction to reply to
his Inquiries about her recent experiences,
Maud found herself In lovo for tho first
time. All nt onco everything seemed
very beautiful and everybody very pleas
ant. Hardlv realizing or caring who any
man was so long ns he was not Martin,
she dliplavcd unwonted nmtnbltlty to
ward Huron. She wna grateful. In fact,
for tho opportunity ho gnva tier of re
lating her experiences In company with
her sntlor a recital to which tho man
listened In thoughtful silence, his eyes
nnd hands fixed on tho driving wheel,
uhllo Mrs. Plessey yawned and com
plained of tho gcnernl nnstlnesi of the
riverside regions. It struck Maud thnt
her mother wns unusually grave nnd
silent.
South Kensington was reached nt Inst.
To Mnud, tho big housa In Hdgoworth
square, facing the ornnmentnl garden,
hnd never scorned whnt most people
mean bv homo. It wns Blmply tho Iiouho
Hhorc she visited her mother. This morn
ing In April sho ontored It with n strange
feeling of hoirieslckness She felt an In
tense longtng for the dingy ltttlo steamer
she had Just quitted. ,
Her own room struck her as uncomfort
ably vast after her tiny cnbtn: thent-
monphero of South Kensington was stuffy
after the open Atlantic and tho pure air
of tho Atlas Mountains Sha fott hor
ribly lonely. The maid had a strango ap
pearance to her, used as she v. as to tho
ministrations of, a negro cabin boy. She
dlsmltsed tho woman Then gulping down
a lump In her throat, she brushed away
a tear and sat down to think about Mar
tin Her mother had known him Why had
not ho told her that definitely? Hor
brows contracted They hnd been ob
viously embarrassed, confused, at being
brought face to face Her mother knew
something about his past. Of course,
sho hnd seen from tho first thnt ha had
not nlways been tho skipper of a tramp
steamor, that ho had belonged to the
same casto ns herself. Her mother knew
his secret. She did not want penetrate
It, but sho knew It could not bo dis
graceful. At any rate she must talk
to her mother before sho 'decided how
or where sho was next to meet him.
She tapped at Mrs Plessy's door and
receiving no reply, entered. Tho room
was empty. Sho descended to the morn
ing room. Gilbert Huron stood looking
out of the window, his hands behind his
back. Ho turned as ho heard her foot
step and smiled.
"'Pon my word, It Is good to see you
again, Maud," he exclaimed. "You can't
Imagine how I missed you! London
wasn't the same without you The nlghta
I havo lain awake wondering whether
any tiling had happenod to ou out
there '
Maud, surveying his plump form, was
about to observe that Ills nnxloty had not
resulted In any physical deterioration, but
sho checked herself. "That's very sweet
of you, Gilbert," she remarked carelessly.
"Whoro Is mother?"
"Gone out, my dear Sho has to bo
photogrnphod at 12, then sho has some
thing on nt tho Prlnco's. I don't think
Ehe'll bo back all day. I ought to havo
Bono with her, but 1'vo let my engage
ments slide I don't see you every day,
you know. What shall we do, eh?"
Maud leaned backward against the edge
of the table, gazing thoughtfully before
her. Huron eyed her admiringly. "You
young Juno," he murmured.
But sho did not hear the compliment.
A shodo of annoyance crossed her face.
"I'm rather wild with mother running ort
like this. There Is an important question
I wanted to ask her."
"Can I be of any use?" Huron lit ft
cigarette and glanced at her keenly,
"Perhaps. It's just possible." Maud
fairly perched herself on the table now
and assumed a confidential tone. "It's
about Captain Arrol---" Try as she
would she could not help (ho Hood
mounting to her face and neck. She went
oh hurriedly; "I'm under tremendous
obligations to htm. as you know, and I
want to havo htm hero to dinner. Well,
to my astonishment, when he and mother
met thoy recognized each other ns old
acquaintances. But they didn't tell me
when or whero they met. Now I don't
want to pry Into their secrets, of course,
hut I wanted to put a question or two
to mother before I wrote. Now. Ollbert.
you have been a friend of mother's for
ages. Do you know of any quarrel or
misunderstanding between her and Cap

Her voice trembled a little. He walteH

sumed an air of portentous gravity.
"She ought to have told you who that
man wns," he said.
MaUd put up ft warning hand. "tJndeN

hear nothing to Captnln Arrot's die
Credit. I shouldn't believe tt, for one
thing. And I don't car6 what he did,"
sho added defiantly, "only " her voice
faltered
Huron shook his head sadly. "You will
havo lo bo told, nnd nt once," he satdl
"you must not meet that man again."
"Not meet him ngnlnt" The Juno of
the South Kensington squaro was now
ns white as her prototypo In tho British
Museum.
"Not If you havo any respect for your
father's memory."
Sho looked Intently Into the man's face.
A horrible suspicion flashed upon her,
Tho man sho loved might years before
have loved her mother.
Gilbert Huron considered her thought
fully, then walked back to ths window
and looked out across tho square. He was
wondering whether ho had been wlso In
making hla disclosure In this way,
"What oxactly do you know1 of the cir
cumstances of your father's do&th?" ho
naked tentatively.
"I understand that ho was' found shot In
his study nt Portsmouth whllo I was at
school. I was only 6 at tho time, as you
know, and, of course, It wasn't till long
after thnt I wns told how he died. Ho
was founil by his secretary, wasn't ho7
And tho man uas charged with tho mur
der, but acquitted. Thoy nevor found tho
real murderer. That Is alt thoro ts to
know nbout It, Isn't It?"
Thoro was an anxious ring In her voice.
Huron pulled ot tho ends of his whlto
mustnclia nnd seemed loath to speak.
His hcsltntlon chafed her. "Do tell me,"
she ptended.
"Well," ho said, "with n show of rciuct
onco, "the man charged with the crime
was no other than your friend, Captain
Arrol "
Maud stared blankly at tho man ns lie
half turned to faco her. Then sho gavo n
little Btartted, gasping cry. "I don't bo
Ilevo It!" she cried.
"It Is true, all tho same," asserted
Huron, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't
fancy ho wilt deny It. Ho has not troubled
to change his name"
Maud sat almost stunned It wns not
tho revelation sho had somohow expected,
and sho hardly knew as yet whether sho
was relieved or not. Sho threw back her
head defiantly. "Well, what does It mat
ter? Ho was acquitted. I don't think
you havo any right to throw this up
against him."
Gilbert Huron with studied deliberation
knocked the ash from his clgarotto into
tho trny at hts elbow. "You haven't got
It quite right," ho said slowly. "He was
not acquitted. Ho wns put on hts trial
twlco. On both occasions tho Jury dis
agreed Tho third tlmo the Crown en
tered what Is called n 'nollo prosequo'
they dropped the prosecution. Martin
Arrol escaped by tho skin of hts teeth,
but his innocence was nover established.
I'm not auro that tho prosecution couldn't
bo revived if tho Crown bo choso."
Maud slipped oft her perch and con
fronted her mother's friend. "But gra
cious Heavens! you don't moan to tell
mo that you bcllovo that Captain Arrcl
murdered my father"
Huron looked hard at his cigarette as'
though In search of counsel. "I have no
right to express nn opinion ono way or
another," ho said. "According to law.
avery man Is Innocent till ho Is proved
guilty. Ho was proved guilty, as I have
been nssured, to the satisfaction of 11
out of 12 Jurymen The 12th held 'out
nnd saved his neck." Ho raised his eye
brows Incredulously. "He may have been
right and tho 11 wrong." Maud stood Ir
resolute,, half wajri)otweon the table nnd
tho window, her gaze fixed on a point
In tho carpet. Her world had turned sud
denly upside down. Arrol, tho generous,
kindly sailor, the man who had kiEscd her
lips tho night before, tho slayer of her
father? Impossible, monstrous!
She threw back her head proudly. "You
say the Jury disagreed twice," sho re
minded him. "It seems to mo that there
must have been a pretty strong doubt
about his guilt And mother, she
evidently doesn't believe It. I
saw her shake hands with hlmj she was
willing thnt ho should lunch with us.
Why should you bellovo him to bo
guilty?"
"I did not pay I did" Huron's manner
was patient "I merely stated the facts.
It seemed to me that you of all persona
ought to bo made aware of them. I con
fess I nm surprised to hear that Grade
went so far as to shake hands with him.
Sho must havo been taken by surprise, 1
Imagine."
"Why shouldn't she shake hands with
Urn?" demanded Miss Plessey, nn
ominous ugnt in her eyes.
Mr. Huron nimbly nicked tho end of
his cigarette out of tho window. "For
the reasons I havo adduced," ho replied.
"So long as any doubt remains nbout
that man's responsibility for your
father's death, I cannot understand how
you or your mother can endure hla pres
ence. It seems to me unnatural, that's
all "
The man put his hands In his pockets
nnd began to pace up nnd down the
room.
Maud flushed beneath tho Implied
taunt. "And It seems to mo grossly un
fair," oho retorted hotly, "to condemn
a man for a crime of which they tried
In vain to prova him guilty. Supposing
you had been accused ot the crime?"
"I?" Huron started and stared at her.
"What had I to do with Jt?"
"Nothing, I presume; but supposing
somo one hnd made up a case against
you and that through somo accident you
were not able to rebut the evidence abso

lutelyhow would you tike, mother to
take the line that it was unnatural to
speilk to you?"
"It would havo been the proper thlnsT
to do whether I lilted It or not."
Tho girl hardly heeded his reply. She
wns going over In her mind the many
hours she had passed on tho golden Afrl
nn . lailtlncr with Mhrtln Arrol. She
remembered now that ho hod started and
made somo exclamation when sue naa
told htm her name on recovering con
sciousness In his cabin i ho had tried, too,
to avoid her tho first two days of the
voyage, and sho had been at pains to
break down his reserve! ahe understood
now his reluctance to accept her lovo It
might be that ho hated her family. If
on their nccount he had undergone tho
nngulah of a first and second trial and
even now labored under tho heavy burden
of suspicion ho had good enough cause
to hate the very name of Plessey. Or
If, somo little demon seemed to whisper
In hor Car, tho chargo was true
sho shuddorod and InettctlCely put her
fingers to her ears, Sho shook hersolf.
"Oh," sho cried. "It's horrible! Why did
you tell mo this?"
"My dear girl, what elso b I to do?"
nrotcstsd Huron. "You asked mo what I
knew nbout hlm-lf there had been any
quarrel between him and your mother
you actually meditated nsklng htm lo

this revelation shocked you so painfully?
You hnrdly romembor your father. It

"I'm not bound to answer your ques

"hut vmi must be Ten' denso If you can't
roallK how it feels to hear that the man
to whom you owe your llfo labors under
such a suspicion baseless nnd unjust
though 1 bellevo It to bo."
Hurnn smiled derisively. "From what I
have heard the man took no risks on
your behalf and only acted as ho was
bound to net In the clrcumstancos. You
nro not tn his debt to any sortous extent.
So don't let that consideration worry you,
my dear girl. Aa to the charge hav
ing been baseless, that's all fudge. Tho
Crown mado out a. protty good case
agnlnst him. You can rend tho report of
tho trials yourself In tho newspapers of

"I certainly will," said Maud," sotting
her lips firmly together.
