In the hallway Of the
Bishop house Orde kissed her.

remember that now you're my wife"
Orde sat in the dim parlor for what
seemed to be an interminable period.
Occasionally the sounds Of distant
voices rose to his ear and died away
again. Finally he heard the rustic of
the portieres and turned to see the
dim form of the general

moment hid her face against his
breast After q little she controlled
herself.
"Jack, we must go tonight. She-she
has ordered me out of the house and
says she never wants to see my face
again." She broke down for second.
"Oh, Jack, she can't mean that! And
she's very bitter against Gerald. Oh,

"Can't youjust pack bag and leave

"she says must take every stitch

They packed trunks until late that
night Carroll and Orde walked to-
gether to the hotel. Next, morning an
interview with Gerald confirmed them
in their resolution of immediate de-
parture.
"She is set in her opposition now,
and at present she believes firmly that
her influence will separate you"
Gerald smiled his fine smile.
"Goodby," said he. "Going to train

SHERIFF'S OFFICE
BEFORE THE JURY

1t was generally understood about the
courthouse yesterday afternoon that the
grand Jury was busy investigating the
alleged Irregularities of the sheriffs Of
flee. Yesterday morning the witnesses
in the investigation were excused until
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the
investigation is supposed to have begun.
If the body of inquisitors is probing
the office of the sheriff it is acting upon
the request of Sheriff Higdon, himself,
and upon the recommendation of the last
grand Jury. From all account the body
proposes to ascertain the facts concern
ing what transpired in the second division
of the criminal court last Wednesday
morning when Solicitor Hefiin charged
that he had been told and that he had
witness who would swear that Curtis
S. Shugart had stated he received $3.50
from the sheriff for swearing out the
warrants against the women of the re-
stricted area who were arrested several
weeks ago. This charge the sheriff de-
MES and he wrote a letter to the grand
Jury insisting upon an immediate inves-
tigation Of the charge.
1t is probable that other alleged irregu-
larties will be taken up by the grand
Jury. The sheriff has invited a thorough
of his office and it is prob
able that the inquisitors will settle the
charges for once and for all.

NEW BIDS FOR THE
SEWER CON TRACTS

The advertisement for new bids for the
construction of a half of the southside
sanitary sewerage system has been in
serted, and some bids have been re-
ceived.
Consulting Engineer Julian Kendrick,
Mayor Ward states, will reach the city
Monday. If enough bids are received
they will be opened at the regular meet
ing of the street committee Wednesday,
and awards made.
Engineer Kendrick states that in his
opinion the bids made for this work at
the last meeting of the street committee,
which were rejected, were within the
bounds of what he anticipated. 1t is
not thought that the bids made now for
this work will be lower than those for
merly made.
1t is stated that the former action in
resembling the awards was taken to OBJ
viate unnecessary criticism.
The city is not considering the con-
struction of these either on the per-
centage basis or on the basis of doing the
work itself, though. it is learned, such
O procedure is favored by certain of
the aldermen.
This half of the system will be con-
structed, it Is the general belief, at an
expense of more than 100000.

MANY SOLUTIONS
OF WATER PUZZLE
MAYOR WARD STILL BELIEVES
TIE MOST FEASIBLE PLAN is
FOR CITY TO ACQUIRE THE Elk
IsTlNG WATERWoRkS.

The effort made to have special ses-
sion of the City Council for the purpose
of investigating the North Birmingham
nronosition to supply the city with water,
has failed and It is now a question as
TO whether the council will consider this
matter even at its regular meeting sched-
uled for Wednesday night of next week
There are almost as many plans for
increasing the water supply ana lower
ing the cost as there are aldermen on
the board. Several aldermen are in favor
of the North Birmingham proposition.
Several others are awaiting developments
before granting franchise which they
consider worth 100000. Others are in
favor of taking up the work on the part
of the city of Birmingham, and still
others favor the acquisition of the pres
ent plant and its development
There is one point on which they all
seem agreed, and that is that the time
is fast approaching when Birmingham
will be compelled to have more water or
have its growth checked
Nayor Ward is in favor of acquiring
the property of the Birmingham Water
this idea intact since he first entered
politics.
when l ran for Mayor the first time
against Bremen" stated Mr.. Ward, zone
plank of my platform was providing for
the purchase of the plant of the COM
pany. AS is remembered. those opposed
to me made the charge that l was en-
deavoring to sell the property to the city.
and that l was acting for the company.
But / still believe this the most feasible
plan"
In reference to the water situation,
which has been before the people for
some months, these are the first words
the Mayor has uttered. He declines to
state whether or not he would veto the
granting of the franchise to North Br-
mingham in case it was granted.

WOULD RECOVER
FRANCHISE TAX

Southern Railway company VS.. S. f.
Greene" is the title of a suit filed in
the city court yesterday in which the
plaintiff company sues for the recovery
of So, 13S. 10 paid to the probate judge OF
Jefferson county as a foreign corporation
franchise tax. The suit is for the recov-
cry of this years tax.
1t is averred in the bill of complaint
that the foreign corporations have been
Disseminated against, hence the suit. 1t
will be recalled that the Southern paid
the same tax last year, and then filed
suit for its recovery. When the case came
up before Judge c. C. Nesmth in the
city court he upheld the statute, impos-
ing the tax upon foreign corporations
and the case was appealed to the supreme
court for a final decision. The case has
never been decided, hence the Southern
las paid its tax for this year and as in
the first instance filed suit for its recoy-
