as the filling in by the railroad COM
pany at this spot makes it danger
GUS for travel, 1t is the intention of
those who are in charge of the fill
ing in that is being done on this
street to close the street for a period
of time which will enable them to
bring the street to the proper grade.
There seems to be great deal of dis
satisfaction about the closing of this
street, as the claim is made that no
permit was given by the board of
warden and burgesses to close this
street and that the railroad commits
sioners gave permission to improve
the street according to plans, but not
to close it. But a little thing like this
don't worry those who are doing the
work for they go right ahead and do
what they think should be done and
take chances on what the outcome
will be. 1t is thought that at least / 0
days will be required to do the work,
which necessitates. the closing of the
street, but now that the new
thoroughfare leading from Church
street to the new depot is ready for
use, the inconvenience which would
otherwise prevail is considerably les
sened.

The Romans and the Sea.

Virgil is understood to have lived
long on the lay of Naples, and he
dwells repeatedly with unsurpassed e.
feet on the littoral phases of the sea,
but on the element at large he ex-
presses little but sense of vastness,
power, malevolence. It is a toilsome
and perilous expanse, to be. hurried
across and escaped.
Across the land the Romans went
with indomitable confidence, marking
their way with those works of pecul-
lar permanence, so that today the Brit
on traverses the original roads they
built, and the Gaul walks beneath their
arches. But even in imperial times
the voyage from Brundisium to Greece
was something of hardship. The
ocean was thing "bestrew'd with
wreck and disaster" In it's depths or
on its shores lay the bones of those
who never received burial and hence
could not pass over the Styx.
When Tiberius built a yacht he float
ed it on the quiet lake Nemi and very
likely kept it anchored like a palatial
houseboat. The sea lacked that essen
tlal stability which the Romans so
much valued. 1t was estranging. Ro-
man adaptability made it a medium of
empire, but never with the viking spir-
observance Review.

puttered about the barn in blissful
ignorance. Presently, however, he
would come into the house, and then
perhaps he would realize what was up.
Meanwhile they would have made the
train, and presently they would be
across the state line, where licenses
were not necessary. The laws of their
own state required residence before a
license could be issued, and as town
clerk Joyce's father was charged with
the issuance of licenses.

I can stop him before we reach the
HILL
Joyce's face blanched. The Hill (al-
ways spelled with capitaD was a
steep descent Of nearly a mile, with
one ugly turn. If King should bolt
down the hill, there was little chance
that Dick would be able to guide him
around the curve, and they would be
thrown down the side.
'You will stop him before then" she
said confidently. But the corners of
her mouth were drawn and her lips
were white. She knew King and re-
allied how little chance there was even
while she sought to comfort Dick with
her confidence.
1t was little more than a mile to
the top Of the Hill, and Dick fought
the horse every inch of the way. He
mad called to Joyce to kneel in the bot
tom of the cutter, and just as they
reached the descent he pulled Kings
mead to one side and guided the crazed
animal into tree.
Dick shot over the side of the cutter
as they struck, but he was on his feet
In an instant to hold the horse. There
was no need for that. King lay still on
the sparkling snow with his head
twisted oddly to one side, and for a
moment Dick gazed sadly upon. his n
vorite.

admonition that if he could not remem-

couldn't go out to play that afternoon.
At the dinner table he was asked the
text of the sermon and said:

must be mistaken Johnny" but he was
sure he was right The matter dropped

"Do YOU think King can keep this
pace all the way to town? asked
Joyce anxiOuSly.
Dick Torrington's chin squared itself
IS he looked at the sturdy black flying
over the hard packed snow.
"lf King doesn't keep going he
said with an uneasy laugh, you'll
keep on being Joyce Warning and not
Joyce Torrington. I've timed it so as
to lust make the train. IT we miss
that your father will be after us in no
time at ALL"
Joyce shivered at the suggestion,
For years she had lived in dread OF
the stern old man who since his wires
death had looked on life with hatred.
When Joyce had come, her gentle
mother had slowly faded away, and
Hiram Warning. blaming the innocent
child for the death of the woman ne
loved so passionately, had never
shown her the affection that was her
heritage.
AS child her innocent transgres-
sions were punished with an unjust Sc
verify. and when Dick Torrington had
asked her father for her hand he had
been driven from the house for no
other apparent reason than Mr.. War
ing's hatred of Joyce. The father
would not give his consent to mar
rage because it would make her hap
-py. and thereafter he watched her
more closely than ever
But Dick Torrington was not Of the
sort to take his unjust dismissal with
out an effort to win the woman he
loved. and the elopement was the re-
suit.
Busby was the terminal station of a

with which the road was run, and it

could cover the ground faster than

latter be already hitched.
The start of the elopement had been
successfully accomplished. and now

lot, 1913 votes were cast in the STATE
the largest Democratic vote for gov
ernor ever cast. In the primary cleo
ton of 1904, Blanchard received
42,1l3 votes, and Jastremski 20. 957
a total of 1000 votes, Blanchard''
majority over Jastremski being ] 2,
1856. In the late primary election
Wilkinson received 4616 more vote
than blanchard received four year
ago. and yet he was beaten by San
. ders by 13,447 majority
The closeness of the election bt
tween Sanders and Wilkinson can b
seen by transferring 0ne-eighth {
the Sanders vote to Wilkinson (7522
