''Your time belongs to Idella. I think we ought to tell Helen"
 "Oh, hang it all, motheri' he said at last. Let Idella take care of herself. She is abundantly able to do it."
 But he always had his moody turns after. such advice. and would sit beside his betrothed listening to Heen's music above and finding fewer and fewer sub tects of conversation.
 One day there was a change in Idellas tactics. No more sulking, no more re- breaches. but mysterious air that piqued Roberts curiosity. She sat no more in the plush parlor nor played 'The Sweet By and By"
 Robert Etheridge walked home one night with a letter in his pocket and n lump of lead in his breast. The letter offered him position in a neighboring mine. It was one that he coveted because it was a distinct rise in the line of his profession. In his grasp today 1t turned to Dead Sea fruit. It made his marriage possible, but his awakening had come. "Ill take the offer and go,' he said to himself doggedly at last. At Christi

 Helen Marsh was an accomplished mu- sician, and Robert Etheridge hungry for music. He got out his violin and they played duets-in the midst of which Ide- la, at the organ below. would execute '"The Sweet By and Bly," sometimes with the loud pedal on.

 You know how it went.
 If only Helen had not been so bright and full of the joy of living it might have been different. If only Idella had been less exactlng and fretful under it 1t might have been different. If his mother had been less conscientious it might have been far different, but she goaded him to madness by her jealous championing of his future wife. "It isn't right, Robert she would say

Yesterday Mr.. Costello reported to the

At the same time a 81 note had disap-

as to the identity Of the thief. and two
central office detectives were assigned TO

Within a short time after reporting
the matter Mr.. Costello was quite posi-
tive that the thief was of a four-footed
variety To one side of the yard in
front of the house q favorite lounging

found. Suspicion pointed toward the
household pet as the guilty one. The
feline probably imagined that the hat Wal

BILL FOR ELECTRIC ENGINES
Commissioners Ask Congress to
Compel Their Use in District.

Compel Their Use in District.
In line with the complaint MADE by
members Of the Brotherhood OF LOcomo-
tive Engineers. regarding the obscuring Of
signals in the new tunnel 10 the Union
Station, because Of the smoke and steam.
the District Commissioners yesterday for
warded to Congress the draft OF a bill
compelling the railway companies enter
ing the District 10 use "smokeless mo-
tors" which means electric engines.
The letter accompanying the bill says
that when the Union Station project was
launched, the Commissioners. took UP
with the railway officials the question OF
smOkeless motive power. and got no sat
isfactiOn. The officials of the railroads
would not even intimate that they would
make the requested change in the future.
The result is this bill, and the indica-
tons are that it will get through the
House. Several members. including Judge
Sims. Of Tennessee. a member Of the Dis
trict Committee have introduced anti
smoke bills and viii probably cooperate
with the hackers Of the bill to get electric
engines.
In their letter the Commissioners say
that the smoke not only is a nuisance to
the city generally. but that with the con-
tinued use of such locomotives in the
New Union Station that building will not
continue TO present the immaculate ap-
pearance Il now does, and that the cues
ton of the tunnel is another one that
is worthy of consideration.

CAREER OF CHASE PIANOS.
words of Praise for Instruments
Handled by Mr.. Lawrence,

With progressive career of nearly a
half century, it should be unnecessary 10

character or durability Of the Chase
Bros pianos. But new generations of
piano-buyers are constantly springing UP.
and even the most distinguished instru-

The Chase Bros. pianos are built or

their careful construction will stand in

Supporting Trade Schools.

Plans for the trades school to be estab-
lished in the District of Columbia for the
benefit of cOlOred boys and girls, with
an agricultural or farm school convenient
ly near in the State Of Maryland, are
assuming definite shape. Rev. S. Geriah
Lamkins, author Of the idea OF having
such a school located in the District, has

the cause. Many Of the pastors Of the
city are supporting the movement, among
whom are Dr. Greene, Of Calvary Baptist;
DR.. Radcliffe, OF New York Avenue Pres
byterian Church; DR.. Stafford, of St
Patrick's Catholic Church: DR.. Pierce. OF
All Souls Church; DR.. Bishop Johnson
