WANTS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SITES PURCHASED AT ONCE
Superintendent Roneovieri Asks the
City Attorney to Consumnate Pro-
ceedinqs Under Bond Issue.

Superintendent OF SCHOOLS Honco-
vieri has sent the following communi-
cation to the City Attorney:
Twill you kindly inform me what
is being done In the matter Of acquir-
ing lands for school sites under the
bond issue?
TT has occurred to me that the de-
struction of improvements upon the
properties affected will greatly sim
plify the matter of acquisition and the
cost thereof. The amounts already
appropriated will be amply sufficient
to secure the lands in question. and
respectfully suggest that immediate
action will undoubtedly save much
trouble and expense which would be
consequent upon the future erection
Of buildings on the sites In question"

THEIR
INVESTIGATION

Olmstead stood on the uneven plat
form of the desoate little station
watching the red lights on the rear end
of the local grow fainter ana fainter in
the bleak twilight. At regular intervals
up and down the platform smoky kero-
srne lanterns made dull Splotches Of
yellow in the gloom, ana here and there
the target lamps of the switches show
ed feeble colOringS of red and green.
The lights on the local disappeared
around curve. and Olmstead swung
about to survey the barren little sta
ton, turning up his coat collar as he
did so, for the night wind had a chill
breath of frost in it.
Drawn up by the station was sorry

preceded him and were now climbing
into the barge.
"Sanitarium, sir:' inquired the shah
by man as OlmStead came up. "All
right, sir. Git right in. Let's have your
checks. I'll git your baggage"
The checks were handed over, and
while the driver was getting the trunks
Olmstead looked over the other occu-
pants of the barge. There were one
man and three women. The man and

and young. In the dim light from the

was decidedly pretty. She did not
cough, nor was she hollow checked like

decisions-that she was pay patient
and that her case was not as yet

They might at least have some ban-

1T would seem So was her quiet,
noncommttal reply, and then there was
silence until the sanitnrium was
reached.
OlmStrad paid in advance, received
II hurried examination from one of the
physicians and was assigned room on
the second floor. At the supper table
he met the young woman again. She
smiled and nodded as he took his seat
opposite her.

"Shall YOU stay" she asked.
"a week at least" said he "And
you:"
Il shall stay for a time, anyway"
she returned.
After that meal they were friends.
They strollrd about the grounds to-
geth"r. They found quiet hooks where
they could discuss freely the inetiicien-
cy of the doctors, the Slov"nlinesS Of
the nurses and the general lack Of any
thing like system about the place.

She looked at him curiously.

And what are they, pray" said he.
But she only shook her head in smil-
ing refusal to commit herself further.
Olmstead had books and magazines
and fruits sent up. These he shared
with her, and she accepted them with
q grave frankness that pleased him
nightly.
They read together; they walked to.
