PAVING, BIDS SHOW
CUT OF 10 PER CENT

Paving is to be cheaper this season.
to judge from the bids opened by the
department Of public works Tuesday
morning on number OF streets to be
paved with creosote block, brick End
cedar. The city buys the brick, cre-
osote block and cement and the bids
are on the curbing, excavation, labor
and other materials.
A decrease averaging about 10 per
cent was found In the contractors
figures. as compared with 1907 bids.
This Is due partly to the large sup
ply OF labor and the fact that men are
working somewhat more cheaply than
a year ago.
The streets on which bids were re-
ceived are: Euclid-ave., creosote
block, Oakland to Russell; vinewood

ii all out very carefully. The Hamii-
ION divorce case was to come TO triai
within three weeks, and the English
as well as the American papers were
full OF II.
AS Jane Hammond in the Birm-
ingham bonnet shop she found that
she had lost her former self TO the
world.
Should she confess everything to
George Saunders and throw herseif
upon his mercy and manly Judgment
No, for he was puritanical and would
spurn her. What next, thenT why,
marry him as Jane Hammond, go 10
South Africa with him and forget the
past.
II was all very easy to do. When
she fed from New. York she thought
lessly left In her room number or
personal effects, among them photo
graph OF Eleanor. This had been SELF
ed upon by reporters and published
as that Of Jane Anderson, the vanish
ing lady" In the Hamilton divorce
suit.
Friends in America had sent the
girl copy OF New York paper con-
tanning Eleanor's picture. with the
name of Jane under 1t. Everyone In
England was reading Of the case. but
even though George Saunders got
hold OF the American papers he would
never suspect Jane. AS she was &C
tually innocent OF any wrongdoing,
where was the harm In keeping her
secret from George?
Thus she argued. The problem was
quickly settled by the unsophisticated
girl, and just as quickly she dismissed
the whole thing from her mind.
But during the battle OF her emo
tons she did resolve upon one thing
that had the ring of sensibility In 1t.
After accepting George Saunders she
would GO at once to London and con-
fess everything TO Eleanor. In this
resolution there was hope that her
sister would shield her even to the
extent of bearing the brunt Of the
American scandal II II ever reached
the ears OF George.
Had she known that Ernest Buckley
was III love with Eleanor. and that
George Saunders was the godfather
of Ernest. there might have been an
other story to tell. And James pretty
romance would probably have ended
right there.

Jane pretended to be sobbing, but
she had to bite her lips to keep from

him over and over again.
