"A

sEO& Miriam agreed that Tor
quay would be very pleasant place
in winter She even declared that she
would like to 20 there herself.
With Calvert it was necessary to
give more than was received, lie was
no conversationalst, Now he pondered
over Miriam's admission, as though
this opened new field for thought.
1T would be pleasant" he said,

Yes" assented Miriam, 1T would
be very pleasant trip"
suppose, then" be said, getting
very red, that we 90 there-together?
You want TO 20, want to 90, We
want to 60, Very simple, isn't it?'
Miriam sprang TO her feet.
"Charlle Calvert" she said, excited.
ly, Il could Just shake you" He
started back as though he feared she
would carry her threat into execution.
SIS that the way to ask a girl to
marry you? One would think you had
been brought up in an atmosphere of
personally conducted tours"
Miriam" he stammered. IL didn't
mean to offend you. don't you know.
| really thought we We're going to be
married some day"
1--WE never will until you learn how
to talk" she snapped back. NO
woman with any self.respect would
accept n proposal like that"
There was infinite scorn in the
voice.
Calvert blinked. He had known
Miriam ever since they had gone to
school together. Even then they had
played at keeping house and had an
nounced 20 their parents that they
were going to be married shortly. They
had persisted long after the usual
course Of boy and girl love affairs
Miriam knew that he was not much
Of talker, Why should she expect
him to discover new ability simply
because he wanted to suggest that it
was time they were married?
He rose to his feet and regarded
her uncertainty.
II think" he drawled, Il had better
be going. l don't seem to be any good
here"
Co she said, evenly, "and don't
you come back until you learn to tell
a woman that you love her as though
you meant It,"
She waited until she heard the door
close and then burst into tears.
She was used to Calvert and his
ways, but all their lives he had &C.
cepted placldy and Internationally the
fact Of her love. Woman-like. she
hungered for the tender words that
are as mamma to the heart.
Calvert apparently took her at her
word. The next morning there was
bunch Of violets at her place at the
breakfast table with his card marked
p. P. c. in one corner That was all.
There was some comment that Calvert
should leave town in the middle of the
season, but no one supposed that there
had been any trouble between Miriam
and him, and she was at least spared
the inaictlon Of curious questions.
For few days she pretended to her
self that she did not care. She flirted
desperately with Jack Holworth, who
made love dellciously, but his tender
speeches lacked the infection OF sin
cerity, and by the end Of a week be
bored her. ----~------------------

of following this up by building on to

club and the Retail Merchants asso-
citation cooperating with Aledo bust
ness men City Engineer Wallace
Treichler today started with a force
of men to survey a route from here
to the vicinity of New Boston via
points in the lower end of the county.
This will require two or three weeks
to complete and will be a preliminary
in its nature.
A different direction is taken by a
party under the direction of Engineer
H. G.. Paddock of Moline. Mr. Pad
dock started out alone one week ago
Wednesday he organized u party of
six and since then has been working
in the vicinity of Milan. This week he
expects to follow Mill creek out to the
high. ground and strike toward Preemp-
ton. He is surveying a 100-fOot right
of way and states that the Rock ISL
and & Monmouth, by which he is EN-
ployed. intends beginning building op
erations as soon as possible.
Position of TrI-CIty Company.
.Rumors that the Tri-City Railway
company is backing one of the prOpo-
sitions for which survey is now be
ing made have been circulated. When
queried on this point by The Argus
Manager Lardner said positively that
the Tri-City is not promoting any in
terurban enterprises, but is favorable
to all of them.

ban into Rock Island will have our sup
