you do not laugh as often as a young
person would, but"
The dressmaker turned her head a
little uneasily and her eyelids drooped
and quivered until they swept her
worn cheek.
1T is not the years that age" she
replied falteringly. but life's road.''
Her voice trailed OF into a sob and n
big. hot tear FLASHED on the piece of
work In her lap.
Marjorie leaned over to where she
sat and laid one of her soft white
hands over the woman's little brown
one. that was hard and roughened by
toll.
Tell me-" she coaxed softly In TIE
tone that one would use to a hurt
child longing to pour out it's feelings
into some sympathetic ear.
The little woman smiled gratefully
through a mist Of tears. A sudden
sense Of rest stole over her. II was so
rarely that anybody gave her more
than a mere passing thought.
She did not speak at once; she was
too full for that, and a sort Of dream..
ness came into her eyes as they rest
ed upon her companion. She seemed
to be looking at her through a sort
OF reminiscent haze, and living over
her own youth. After a while she
spoke:
Il. too. was once young and Joyous. !"
she said slowly and little unsteadily.
Young and joyous like you. with life's
vista Of happiness stretching out be-
fore me. The world was a veritabie
palace and a NANNY idol"
She paused and covered her face
with both hands. Low sobs shook her
frame. but she quickly crushed them
down and went on In a sort of mono
tone:
ut was not until the day before
out wedding was to take place that I
discovered. instead OF the pure gold I
had worshiped, my idol was Of
clay"
There was another pause. this time
longer than the last. Twilight had
fallen gradually. and long gray shad.
ows stole into the room and sought
out the woman's bowed head.
Wien ShN iODhtt up ntE race bore
the stamp of infinite sadness, but the
old settled look Of caimness and
sweetness had returned to IT,. the
look Of resignation.
Marjorie's eyes were swimming In
tears as she listened TO the woman's
story. but she pressed her hand reas-
suringly as she said, her voice trem-
bling a little:
You did rot tell me what happened
-on thst-day."
The answer came clear and firm. no,
the slightest intonation betraying the
scar Of bitterness that had scanned
her life.

DYNAMITE TO BE USED
HARBORMASTER'S PLAN FOR
BREAKING POTOMAC ICE.
Condition in River Regarded as Very
Serious--Method Proposed as
Experiment Only.

An experiment will be tried with dynamite
for breaking up the thick ice in the Potomac
river. Harbormaster Sutton yesterday told
Commissioner Mcfarland that the condi-
ton of the Potomac is the most dangerous
In years, and that the danger is growing
daily under the continued cold weather Mr.,
Sutton fears that when the thaw sets in, if
1t should be sudden, a bad gorge will be
formed at the Long bridge, causing the
flooding of the lower part of the city The
river is frozen over far below Fort Wash
ington and Marshall Hall and I'D as far as
Little Falls.
Commissioner Macfarland suggested that
dynamite might be used to break up. the ice
In case of emergency. and Mr.. w. j. Doug
lass, engineer of bridges, was called upon
for an expert opinion the subject Mr..
Douglass agreed with Harbormaster Sutton
that dynamite would probably be of little
service in breaking up the ice. but he said
he is willing to make the experiment This
will be done later. It is stated, however
that even if dynamite can be used to advan-
tage in breaking up the ice it will still be
necessary to employ tugboats fitted with
iron prows for the purpose of easing the inn
mense frozen blocks through the arches of
the new railway and the old Long bridge,
which are located short distance apart.
Ice-Breaking Prows.
Harbormaster Sutton states that ten years
ago not single tugboat on the Potomac
was fitted with an ice plow, but that today
every tug is equipped with an iron PROV
with which to break ice. In the lower
course of the river, 1t is stated. where the
channel Is more pronounced and the ice gem
orally thinner, the ice offers great difficul-
ties to navigation Three powerful naval
tugs, the Triton, Tecumseh and ChoctaW,
