The revival of the proposition to
build the Maryland and Delaware Ship
Canal 80 as to bring the port of Balti-
more nearer the ocean and save the
long trip to and from the Capes, is be-
ing received with favor. 1t is proba-
BILE that some definite steps toward
carrying out the project will be taken
in the near future and the proposition
be made fact. Mr.. Julian J. Alex
ander, president of the Georges Greek
Coal Company, who is much inter
ested Ia the proposed ship canal, said
he felt sure that the canal would be
the means of bringing greater Com
merce to Baltimore and would make it
one of the greatest ports of entry and
export on the Atlantic Coast. He also
said that with the canal Baltimore
would be in position to handle much
of the cargoes that now go IL and out
of Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
In discussing this proposed ship canal
he said, there are only three routes to
be considered. The first is the Chop
tank River route, the second the di-
rect route via Centreyille and the third
he Sassafras River route.
By the Choptank the distance from
Baltimore to the ocean is $50 miles, the
number of miles saved over the pres
ent route to the ocean via the Chesa-
peake Bay entirely, being IT'S miles
and the estimated cost $4,000, 900.
Through the route via Centreville the
cost will be $40, ,OOO,OO although this
route is 1O7 miles, saving of 217 miles
over the Chesapeake Bay route.
By the Sassafras River route the
distance to the sea is 129 miles, a saw
ing of 1876 miles, and the cost will not
be over $5,OOO,OOO. The Sassafras
River and Blackbird Greek, on this
last route, are partially excayated by
nature and the waterway can be con-
structed for the price mentioned and
lower, figure, owing to the modern
methods employed IN excavating. The
United States engineers have reported
that the Sassafras River route has no
obstacles, no quicksands, and no rock,
the soil being chiefly clay and other
soils, admirably adapted to the pres
ent system of hydraulic dredgings.
The question of ice in the winter and
ito 0hatruoti0p fo pov;oof;0r 20 no
greater in the bay for 80 miles north
of North Point than for 100 miles
south of North Point.
A canal by the Choptank route
would cost double that of the Sassa
fras River and is 20 miles further anC
four and one half hours longer eacE
trip. 1t would require bridges auC
tide locks. This route would also re-
quire miles of breakwater and its oceaI
outlet would be at one of the mos
dangerous points on the coast.
The mouth of the Sassafras River i
25 miles from Seven Foot Knoll and 2:
to Townsend. The canal itself woul,
be 16 miles from water to water. From
Baltimore via the Chesapeake Capes t,
the capes of Delaware at the mouth O
the Delaware Bay the distance is 80
miles, so it can be seen what a gres
saving of time would be made if Balti
more had the Delaware and MaryIan
ship canals.

assessor in his e1asperating phleg-
matte way had referred to the story
OF Mr.. Lienhardt's predecessor, who,

isn't it heavenly" she asked.
Splendid" he groaned, bracing his
thin legs against the heavy swing
in which they were standing opposite
each other until it flew into the foil
age Of the oak from branch OF
which it was hung.
Things began to go round before
his eyes. It was not dizziness that
laid hold of him, but fear-downright
fear. He saw nothing, was conscious
of nothing, but the outlines Of her
girlish form, and to the latter his
glance was riveted as If the glorious
vision were his only means of safety.
Suddenly she dived with a daring
hand into the foliage and tore off a
bunch of leaves. The action gave
the swing jerk as if it's chains were
breaking.
For heavens sake! Suppose you
were to turn dizzy"
ooh, there isn't the slightest dam
ger; but, Roderick, your face looks
like-buttermilk. Well, on my &C.
count-no, on yours, 1 mean" .--
Another swing or two, and then she
jumped off. She bit her lips when
he cautiously climbed after.
"You weren't afraid?" she inquired,
hearing him draw a breath of relief.
He smiled constrainedly.
81 know no fear!" How naughty
that sounded "It was anxiety for
you, Gerda, you know, or at least
suspect, that L"
81 suspect that you were going to
say something pOintless. Besides
Oh, how do you dc, ASSESSOR"
Roderick looked out of the corner
light-haired giant in the uniform of an
official of the Woods and Forests De-
partment, who was just emerging
from the park.
Could he have been listening to
their conversation? Well, at any
rate, the interloper met with no bet
ter treatment at Gerda's hands than
he, Roderick.
He had made her acquaintance at
a ball in the city, and they had be-
come such good friends that he had
found time to remove the dust of
oblivion from his somewhat remote
bond of relationship with Uncle Fritz
of Derenthal."
These were Mr.. Lienhardt's words
as he received his nephew" with a
suspicious cordially, while Aunt Ber-
tina at once decided that she would
energetically further possible designs
on her only daughter.
Roderick was what is called a good
match. He had money enough to quit
his profession, that of law, and retire
into private life with a package of
new visiting cards. Mrs. Lienhardt
looked upon him as an ideal husband
for her daughter, while Uncle Fritz,
who could not imagine decent man
without some form of activity, per-
sisted in calling him wax doll.

continued with uncomfortable viVidneSS.
Finally he was frightened with his
own shadow. 1t was sitting in Ger
da's swing, stretching out gigantic
arms which grew longer and longer
for every movement of the swing,
until they caught him by the feet.
Gerda was standing by. He saw
her eyes sparkle, heard her mocking
laugh, while the arms of the shadow
closed about his body, tighter and
tighter, until he had to fight for his
h-fight-fght.
He awoke in bath of perspiration.
The weather vane on the roof was
creaking and grooming, and from the
same direction came peculiar Groom
ing sound.
He was as if paralyzed. Some
thing not discernible to the naked
eye seemed to be coming nearer.
He must tiee-he must get where
he could feel the presence of living
beings, even if he had to spend the
night beside the dog Hector on the
hall floor. He sprang from his bed,
seized his trousers and, without stop
ping to put on anything more. snatch
ed his hastily-lit lantern and escaped
from the room.
But on the wall of the stairway in
the light thrown upon it by the lam
tern, his shadow was lowering. A
draft from an open window extin-
guished his candle.
Panic-stricken, he flew rather than
walked down the stairs, while an I'M
canny something was pursuing him.

stairs.
A sudden light blinded him-only
for a moment, but long enough for
him to recognize a human form. To
this unexpected rescuer he chung with
the strength of despair, groaning:
Help! Save me from my shadow"
A piercing shrek and loud crash
was the reply. Then door opened
and in it stood Mr.. Leinhardt, dressed
for hunting.
An amazed, "Well," came from his
big chest at the sight of Martha
Stevelin, the stolid chambermaid, half
unconscious, in the arms of his un-
conventionally attired guest. Behind
Mr.. Leinhardt, Heinz Steinbauer was
holding his sides with laughter. When
Martha could speak at last, she utter.

Nourishment for InYalids.

In a long continued sickness the
strength must be kept up by sufa-
cient nourishment and it is of the ut
most Importance to give food which
is digestible, palatable, of the right
quantity, and furthermore, this food
should be administered at the right
time. As a rule an invalid should eat
five or six times q day, instead of de-
pending on the regular three meals
day,
