The Virginia Railway will be
equipped with telegraph wires
which will be so arranged that they
can be used for phone service also.
By this double system, if the tele-
graph works badly, the telephone
can be used. One advantage of
this system is that while not all en-
ployes can telegraph, all can talk,
and the lines will be so arranged
that an engineer or fireman can
make connection at any point on
the line and report to an office.
This service is used in small way
on some of the Northern road, but
so far as known the Virginian will
be the first to use it on a large
scale.

Il wish you hadn't said this to me,
Marina"
4 am glad l said it, Philip. But,
of course, it mustn't make any differ
ence in our friendship. You will
come here just as you have been in
the habit Of coming. You must con-
sut with me Just as you have always
consulted"
He arose. She followed Linn to the
door
Come as usual Saturday evening""
she said. Good night"
She put out her slender hand. He
touched the cool fingers and hurried
away
He would never go there again, he
told himself 1t was shameless, the
way she treated him. No other man
was ever treated that way. She took
advantage of him because he was SO
infrm Of purpose, so irresolute. 1t
was true that he had monopolized a
great deal Of her society. No doubt
he had kept other men away by his
thoughtless attentions. He had never
thought Of marrying her or anybody.
The next day was Thursday, and
in the afternoon Philip received a
note from Marina.
Please send that model of the at
taehment for governor to me by mes
senger. may be able to utilize it,.
Will explain Saturday night"
Philip sent the model. but with the
determination not to listen to any
explanation. Nevertheless when Sat
urday night came he sought the Nor
man home.
4 must tell you about my success
with the attachment" said Marina.
Il know Mr. Arthur Hope. l taught
his little girl, you know. And she
did so we'll while in my charge that
her father felt grateful. He asked
me to call upon him at any time, and
said he would be glad 10 be of SER
vice to me. So l took the attach
ment to his office in the big factory.

a little money in an invention, and

Then he remembered that he was
getting deeper and deeper into Mar
mas debt. And he went back to his
lonesome lodging.
He was busy now, buster than he
had ever been. There we're new
orders secured through the orders
got by Marina. There was money
coming in. His dead ambition had
come back to life. And he owed It
all to the girl.
One night he called on Marina.
''Marna," he said. Il want to make a
partial settlement with you"
This is a strictly business trans
action, Philip? There is no senti-
ment about it?"
He flushed 'I understand.
Il want the full amount due me-"
For the two months since you
secured the first attachment contract
the net profits have been 1926. This
will make your share ss1S. Is that
satisfactory"
Philip" she quietly said. under
the arrangement proposed this
money would have remained in the
business"
He suddenly choked and turned
away.
Why did she persist in alluding to
that unfortunate proposal? She saw
It hurt him. She knew it drove him
from the house every time she re-
ferred to 1t. II was so unwomanly.
And then he stopped Was he not
fully as unmanly as Marina was un-
womanly? Here he was actually
building up a bank account on the
profits she had earned for him. True.
he had given her half those profits,
but she had really earned them all.
Well. there would be no more of it.
He would let her understand that he
had a little manliness left. He would
shift for himself hereafter. He wait
ed three days before he put this re-
solve into execution. And when he
made the momentous call he wore a
new look on his face that meant COM
plete self-reliance.
Marina seemed very quiet. Pres
emily she spoke
Philip" she said, Il have little
news for you"
News. Marna?"
Eyes. Mother and have decided
to go away. We are offered a pleas
ant cottage at Hereford. the prop
erty of my Uncle Edward. l have
given up my school and we expect
to start next Tuesday"
Going away. Marna?"
Eyes, Philip. 1t seems like a great
change-we have lived here so long
and l have felt quite blue over it
all day"
And then Philip suddenly realized
with sickening sensation what this
meant for him.
+ This is very sudden" MaFna-
Eyes. We received my uncle's let
ter yesterday. He was anxious to
have us come as soon as possible"
Philip leaned forward.
81 can't really believe you are
going to leave us, Marina. It-well.
It breaks me up a good deal"
Her clear eyes were regarding him
intently There was a gentle smile
on her face.
I'm sorry to go. Philip, but It
seems to be the right thing for us to
do.
He drew long breath.

said could send him a dozen to

Johns eyes sparkled-

That isn't all, Philip. Mr. HOPS

with critical eye and asked the
price to the trade. When told him

Philip drew a long breath.

cried. And then he remembered her
proposal and suddenly stopped with
flushed face.
"And now" said Marina hastily,

Of that automobile brake clutch that
you told me about last month. Here's
the table and paper.

and soon finished the drawing and

Philip did so.

A few nights later he was there
again. He was very anxious to hear
what Marina had done with the
clutch.

"Mr. Clifford called It the best thing
he had seen" She passed a slip of
paper to Philip. "If you can deliver
them as needed and bill them at that
price he will take 500e'

La PLATA, MARYLAND. FRIDAY. FE
TAKING HER MEASURE

By the red Of the rose in the shadow,
BY the white Of the bloom in the CLEAN,
We stood her to fathom with wonder
The glory and growth of our dream;
And we marked on the vine where her
head came
And then let the little tape fall
All the length Of her delicate figure
That had stood in its sweet BY the wall.
But what Of the feet and the inchesg
What matter for figures like those!
She's as tall, let us say, as the lilies;
As high, let US say, as the rosei
For the sweetness that lives in her laughter,
The mischief that dwells IN her eyes,
Ah, that is beyond US TO measure
As well try TO measure the skiesl
So, there by the wall meath the blossoms.
With. the birds singing sweet in the trees,
With the ripple Of rivers that hastened
To the infinite depths Of the seas,
We measured her grace beyond measure.
We reckoned her sweetness apart
And both Of them added together
Came Just to the brim Of our hearti

Temperature in Fishes.

The interesting question as to
whether fishes have any temperature
worth mentioning was discussed the
other day at the Edinburgh Royal
Society in a paper on the Body
Temperature Of Marine Animals. It
may be taken as established by tests
that in the larger fishes (cod, ling,
etc., the body temperature is slight

dicating a feeble attempt at heat reg
ulation and a slight development of a

The shadows and sunbeams played,
We stood her while taking her measure,
The height Of our little maid
The glory Of gold was around her,
The sunbeams dappled her hair,
And the joy Of her rollicking laughter

Now, how shall we measure her mischief,
And how shall we measure, we said,

And how shall we measure the glory

MERELY A PAPER CHANGE
No Material Interests Involved by Bull.
garia's Act.

Berlin, Oct. 7. - The question
whether there is to be peace or war
in the Balkans has not yet been de-
cided in Constantinople, according to
official dispatches received at the for
eign Office. The. ambassadors of the
powers at Constantinople find the sit
aation a difficult one, because the con-
troll of affairs does not rest altogether
with the cabinet of the Young Turks,
but partially with the powerful com
mittee of Young Turks outside the
CABINET. ....-... =.
Official opinion in Berlin leads to
the belief that there will be no war,
inasmuch as the change in the rela-
tons between Bulgaria and Turkey is
merely paper change. No material
interests will be involved provided
Bulgaria gives up her control of the
Oriental railroad in Eastern Roumelia,
as now seems probable.
Germany continues her attitude of
reserve. She would not oppose a con-
ference of the powers for the revision
of the treaty of Berlin if such con-
ference were desired by the other
bowers

FRANCE TO BACK TURKEY
Favors UNFOLDING Provisions of the
Treaty of Berlin.

Paris, Oct 1.-The hope that hos
t1litfes may be avoided in the Balkans
is growing in Paris. The latest adj
vices received here from Constantine
pie seem to indicate that the porte,
for the moment, is not disposed to go
further than a formal protest against
Bulgaria's proclamation of independ-
ence.
Foreign Minister Pichon is continu-
ing his conferences here. FIe talked
with M. IsWolslxy, the Russian minis
ter of foreign affairs, and M. Stancioff,
the diplomatic agent of Bulgaria, and
later he conferred with the British,
Turkish, Italian and Spanish ambas-
sailors.
France believes in the necessity Of
new conference of the signatories of
the Berlin treaty for the purpose of
clearing up the situation and safe
guarding the interests of all the pow
ers concerned. If the principle Of
, new congress is approved France, in
, accord with Great Britain and Russia,
, will abstain from recognizing the in
dependence of Bulgaria and the seiz-
ure of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
Austria-Hungary. This virtually will
amount to backing up Turkeys pro-
test and by saving the self-respect of
, the porte will act as a calming and
restraining influence.
