The Short Line War
Samuel Merwin and Henry Kitchell Webster
Book Overview:
The Short Line War is a story that will appeal more particularly to the sterner sex, and we take it that the hyphenated name, Merwin-Webster, stands for two healthy-minded young men who have put their heads together and who have mapped out this story of a railroad war, in which politics form a considerable part. Jim Weeks is the central figure in the fight, and we like him so much better for knowing of the romance in his early life.

"Have you?" McNally smiled easily. "I wish you had said that, Miss
Porter."
"Oh, Mr. McNally, you know I was hoping for you."
Harvey's eyes betrayed him, for she added in a bantering tone,—
"We must say such things to Mr. McNally, Mr. West; if we don't, he gets simply unbearable."
McNally looked at her with an amused expression. Evidently they understood each other. As the banter continued, Harvey began to feel uncomfortable. He tried to listen to the orchestra, which was playing a lively march.
"Good, isn't it?" said Miss Porter to Harvey.
"Splendid," he replied.
"Do you think so?" observed Mr. McNally. ". . . Read More
