WORK WILL SOON BEGIN
ON THE NEW SURVEY.
Nearly Fifty Miles of Road Bed to
be Made Between Wadsworth
and Browns Station.

Bids for Contract to be in by December
5lst-Hot Springs. Eagle Salt Works.
and White Plans to be Cut Out
The Road Will Pass this
Side of Well About a
Mile and Halt.
Wadsworth has been visited by many
contractors from all parts of the United
States this week looking over the sur
vey for the purpose of bidding on the
new route from Wadsworth to Browns,
nearly fifty miles in distance. Some
OF the most prominent contractors have
been here and looked over the route
and bids are to be In by the first of the
year. The work Is to commence
soon after the contract is let. The
grade out Of Wadsworth will be less
than 40 feet to the mile instead of 30
per mile. 1t will cut out all the heavy
grades that nov necessitate the aid of
a helper for heavy trains.
Between Wadsworth and Clarks
new heavy steel is being laid and the
road bed is being graded wider and a
force Of forty-five men is now en-
ployed in this work.
At two or three points between Silva
and Clarks the road will be straighten-
ed and otherwise improved.
When the work is fairly under way
between here and Browns there will
be in the neighborhood Of $4,000 men
and 500 teams employed. The needed
work in this section will evidently be
finished within the next few months.
The climate here during the winter
months is most favorable for the con-
tractors to make rapid progress in per-
forming the required work.
This is one Of the most important
changes on the syst-m the company
has in anticipation, and one most
needed in the improvement of the road.
Wadsworth will evidently be greatly
benefited in business way, at least,
the next few months.

SOCIAL TOMORROW NIGHT.


The Band is processing famously
under the able leadership of Prof
Meelan. Tho boys have shown COM
mendable zeal and enterprise in their
venture and Wadsworth will sooh have
a musical organization that will do much
to add success and pleasure to every
public function.
The band is organized on strictly
business principles and is being so con-
duced. The town should be proud Of
the organization and give it every sup
port, both financial and moral. The
boys intend to give open air concerts
frequently in the future. The first will
be given Saturday evening in front Of
Music Hall at $50. The public is
cordially invited to be present.
Another pleasant social will be given
by the Band Saturday evening. The
Orchestra improves with each public
appearance, and is now giving as good
music for Saturday night socials as
has been given at the large balls here
tofore. There will be seven p.ces in
the orchestra Saturday night and no
one who enjoys dancing or loves good
music will regret being present. This
is also about the only source of revenue
the band has had, for that reason if for
no other the social should be largely
attended. So come, and commence
the Christmas festivals Saturday night
by forgetting dull care and BY giving
the band a nice Christmas present.

with what leaden footsteps was the
rest of his route covered that radiant
summer day!
How could he know that a disap-
pointed little face with puckered
brows. was gazing after him with eyes
grown suddenly misty n mystifed.
He had not acted like himself at all!
What was the matter with him? She
had thought-she had fancied-
There was no mail for the Dillon
household the next uay-nor still the
next. So Jim had no excuse for stop
ping. But on the evening of the second
day he found himself driven to Elm
street. At least he could look at the
house which held her. He might even
muster up courage to ask her to go
to the contemplated picnic at Garfield
Park with him. He had been made
welcome in their home. More than
once Mrs. Dillon had permitted her
daughter to go out with him. He had
every right to invite her. Just because
Bertram Ryder had written her a let
ter. and that she had colored con
fusedly at sight Of it, was no reason
why she would consider his attentions
welcome.
A soft, warm, dark, rainy night It
was. Kennedy. about to cross over tothe
h-,ted home of the billions, suddenly
stopped-drew back into the shadow
Of a tree. For the door opposite had
opened, and two people were distinct
ly revealed in the lighted vestibule.
He recognized Nora, And that man
with spare form, and slightly STOPPING
shoulders-of course that was Bertram
Ryder.
He could hear the clear voice Of the
girl speaking with cordiality.
Don't you worry, Bertl" she was
saying. You can trust me to arrange
affairs so that no one Will suspect.
What's that? I'm an angel? Oh. no,
I'm not" There was a ripple Of
laughter. Goodbye. TIL Tuesday,

Jim Kennedy turned on his heel,
and went home, sick at heart. II was
the little maid Of all work who opened
the door 20 Jim when next
day duty forced him to ring
the door bell Of the Dillon
domicile. And on the day following he
found himself waiting there rebellious
and miserable. with another letter from
Bertram Ryder in his hand. This time
although it was Nora who eagerly
opened the door, and stood as II wait
ing for him to speak, he only lifted
his cap formally, handed her the let
ter, and turned away without a word.
And as he strobe angrily on. hia
s%mouldering jealousy was tanned "a
fresh flame by the sight Of Bertram
himself coming iauntly up the street
