himself at little distance

in his life.

the boy. rebelliously. Then he whis-
pered ever so gently: Il say, Flo, don't
be miserable about It"
Flo" he whispered again, waiting Tor
her to speak
Still silence, and presently Jimmy,
with a sore trouble dulling his honest
eyes. rolled over and buried his face In
the heather. Half an hour passed.
The vision of Cecil Herrick with .
bleeding nose had proved too much for
Flo's romantic and artistic nature: but
still. though she loved him no longer,
she was decidedly unhappy. She felt
very lonely.
The bright summer sky dazzled her
ewes when she first uncovered them, but
through a mist she perceived that Jim-
NV was still there. Somehow she ex-
perienced feeling Of relief. She shook
back her hair, and drew down her
skirt but she forgot to wish for hairpins
and long dresses.

over him.

still hiding his shame-fushed face.

'Whyt" innocently.
"Oh, You know what mean, Flo.

FLO'S YOUNG

''Bother!" said Flo to herself; then
aloud: Il thought you were going 10
play football this afternoon"
I'll changed my mind" returned the
boy, who stood looking down upon her.
"Of course, If you don't want me, Flo, III
clear out"
"Oh, you can stay If you like. don't
mind" she said, after moments hesi-
tation.
Thank you" said Jimmy with graft
tude out of all proportion to her un-
gracious concession. He seated himself
beside her, and an awkward silence
followed.
Flo shook back her dark hair, and
drew her short skirt over her trim
ankles, while she wished for the thou
sandth time that she were is and the
possessor of unlimited hairpins and
long dresses. At 16 Flo felt she had
scaled the heights and sounded the
depths Of human Joy and sorrow-so lar,
at least, as love was concerned. Cecil
Herrick was doubtless responsible for
this, though 1t is possible that any other
equally good-looking young man of Is.
had he paid the same attention to the
girl during the past month as HorTick
had done, would have awakened a SIM
liar sensation In her breast.
Flo had given her heart to Herrick
| for ever and ever, and she believed that
Herrick's was hers for the same In
definite period Still, at the present
moment, she was not little annoyed
with him for not keeping his appoint
ment at the accustomed trysting-place.
But something she argued, must have
delayed him. As for Jimmy, the boy OF
her side, 1t was simply disgusting Of
him turning up when he was not
wanted.
Jimmy, aged is, Of the hard muscles
and the soft heart, lay looking blankly
across the heather. and wondering what
on earth he could say to Flo. He re-
membered the afternoon q month ago
when he and she had rested In the same
nook. she had been very kind to him
then. BY chance he had touched her
hand as 1t plucked idly at the heather,
and--oh, the wonderful experienced! II
had slipped into his and lain there for
the rest Of the afternoon. But that was
before Herrick came.
II met that chap Herrick as / was
coming along said Jimmy, presently.
Gle asked me to-er--say good-by to
you for him"
aWhat?" cried Flo, startled IN spite
Of herself.

Flo WINGED, grew pale, and finally
blushed. OF course, there must be some
mistake. Perhaps perhaps Jimmy was
only teasing Der.
II suppose Mr.. Herrick will be back
tomorrow" she said, complacently.
II saw ali his luggage on the way to
the station" said Jimmy, now too mis-
cradle to look at his companion. I'm
sorry told you." he blurted out.
"Mr. Herrick seems rude" said Flo,
calmly, but there's sure to be good
reason for his going. What's the time,
Jimmy"
He extracted his silver watch, an ath-
letic prize won during his last term at
school Ten minutes to four"
Il didn't think 1t was SO late" said
Flo, somewhat shakily.
Would you have liked" began
Jimmy.
ooh, it can't be helped" she inter
rupted, bravely.
The boy took courage and glanced at
her. Her face frightened him. A lump
came into his throat. Flo" he said,
jumping up, Il can catch him If run.
He can get the next train at
$50. Will you wait, Flor"
She nodded without looking at him.
A minute later she saw that he had
reached the yellow road and was rum
ming swiftly in the direction OF the viii
Iage. Flo assured herself that her great
est triumph was at hand. She turned
and stretched herself on the heather.
hid her face in her arms, and waited.
Jimmy dashed into the village station
Just as the train drew up. There were
few people on the platform and his keen
eye Immediately caught sight Of Her
rick
''Hullo, Jimmy said the young man,
easily, as the boys eager fingers
grasped his arm.

the boy sprang upon the platform.
"Mr. Herrick, you mustn't go. YOU
you'll break her"
Hoo-oo-oo! screamed the engine, and
the train slid back couple Of feet, and
shuddered.
''Shut up, you young IDIOT" cried Her

Jimmy. f.

Jimmy's left arm bent and straight
ened, and Herrick went down like Q

A moment later Jimmy stood on the
platform, painting, oblivious to the In
iignant observations of an elderly
porter who had nervously cursed to see
the boys flying leap from the moving
train.
Flo heard footsteps approaching, but
she lay still. Her breath came and went
more rapidly than was natural, and she
knew her cheeks were growing warm.

Mrs Fenton Smith Each of the speakers
declared for new excise board for the

The Hansbrough bill, providing for the
appoin tment of a new excise board was In

Enforcing New Regulation.

Charles Ramsey, a merchant who has q
store on 1th street, was found guilty by
Judge Mullowny in the Police Court yes
terday of a violation of the police regula-
tons in soliciting trade on the street.
Joseph Pellman of 633 D street. Isadore Ro-
senberg of COS D street and Joseph Somer-
field of 637 Louisiana avenue were charged
with the offense, but Judge Mullowny
held that the testimony was not sufficient
to convict them.
The men were charged under a new regu-
latiOn, which was promulgated to the mem
bers of the force February 8 last. The
regulation is section 12 of article XXI of
the police regulation. The testimony of the
officers showed that the men invited them
into the stores to buy something, but the
defendants who were acquitted testified that
the officers stopped and made inquiries about
clothing and they then invited them inside.

REPORT ON RAILWAY BILLS.
Commissioners Pass on Measures Be
fore Congress.

Almost identical reports have been for
warded to Congress by the Commissioners
with reference to House bill 1916 and SEN
ate bill 1914. The former proposes extend
ing the time for construction of the East
Washington Heights traction railroad, and
the latter contemplates authorizing the
Washington and Marlboro Electric Rail-
way Company of Maryland to extend its
lines into the District of Columbia. Both
roads propose to follow nearly the same
route, as does also the East Washington
Heights Railway Company, a report on
whose bill was forwarded to Congress a
few days ago.
one essential thing the Commissioners
nave mentioned in reporting on each of the
three bills is that the company securing
the franchise should be required to deposit
slo,eoo with the collector of taxes to meet
the expense of widening of Branch avenue,
along which each company has routed it's
line and which at the present time is not
OF suH1cient width to accommodate railroad
tracks in addition to vehicular traffic The
commissioners state that they have little
preference as to which company builds the

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Effort Of Miss Viola Strahan to End
Her Life.

Disappointment in love ID said to have
induced Miss Viola strahan. nineteen years
Of age, to make an effort to end her life
last evening while she was seated in the
waiting rom at the power house Of the CO.

by swallowing carbolic acid and her life
was saved. 1t Is said. by the prompt action

daughter OF Thomas H. Etrahan, superin-
tendent Of the Benning race track. and lives
with her parents on the grounds of the
Washington Jockey Club. She returned
home from the Benning School yesterday
Afternoon and a little later came to the city
Of dependency while about the house. and
the news of her rash act was severe
shock to her parents
1t is believed that Miss Strahan procured
the carbolic acid with the intention OF using
1t last night after she returned home, but
while seated In the waiting room at the
transfer station Of the street car line she
evidently brooded over her trouble and was
unable to wait until she got home to swal-
low the poison. 1t is stated that her love
affair was with a conductor Of the Column
bia line, and it is believed she went to
the waiting room in order to see him when
he reached there. The young woman told
the physicians that she had made the at
tempt because Of a love affair, a young man
with whom she had been keeping company
having suddenly ceased his visits.
Miss Strahan probably thought she was
alone in the waiting room, but a small boy
was near the door at the time, and saw her
raise the bottle and swallow part of Its con-
tents, and 1t was due to him that assist
ance was summoned.
Miss Strahan was quickly removedto the
Casualty Hospital in the ambulance con-
nected with that institution. While on her
way there and at the hospital she said she
had taken the acid with suicidal intent, and
that she had been made respondent by the
conduct of her friend.
The father of the patient called at the
hospital soon after she reached there. Miss
Strahan was much better this morning, and
the physicians at the hospital expressed the
belief that she will recover.

by the Spaniards. The King OF Spain
evinced much interest in the American OBJ

well as interesting. and in spite of the bad
weather, the hall was entirely filed, many
persons remaining standing
