Road Don't Belong to the County.-"M NJ.
c.. G." writes as follows in the Baltimore
American 1.-THE Baltimore County Commits
sioners would get the everlasting gratitude and
thanks of the people living along the York
road if they would spread oil on the thorough
fare and lay the dust. Private individuals at
their own expense oiled a section of the road
for about half mile in Govans, and the results
have been most pleasing. Other sections of
the road might be treated in like manner to
the benefit of the people and the roadway"
The pike doesn't belong to the county and
therefore the Commissioners have nothing to
do with it.

 unnecessary, for the face of each told plainly how much this chance meeting meant.
 cred first. With an arch smile that was very close to tears of happiness she held out her hand.
 ''So you haven't quite forgotten me, have you? You do know my name! Won't you shake hands?"
 The man came to her eagerly, seizing her hand and holding it with a grip that almost crushed it, while she looked all the things that he could not just then say
 q can hardly believe it's really you,' 2 he exclaimed. Its so strange to find you away off here"
 Frances heart was pounding with great throbs of happiness. He loved her! That was plain, very plain. Every look, every gesture, showed it. And with the knowledge there came to the heart of the girl a great confidence, a COAtCAL lldI lHddC hCl 0DlC, "Olhdh" li,-c, to hide all her feelings and make him work for everything that in real ity already belonged to him.
 "Oh, mother and I are on cruise" she said lightly. We've been here several days. We didn't have an idea that we should see you. What lucky chancer'
 No one from her manner could have guessed the weary days of waiting for that cruiser, now just arrived.
 'Is your father with your" asked Sommers.
 The girl shook her head.
 "No; father couldn't come. MT. Pinckney is with us.''
 The naval officers face hardened ever so little.
 "Oh, yes, of course" he said,, and, inside, his evident jealousy made the girl just that much happier.

 The man shrugged his shoulders. policy, suppress his hatred of Som mers.
 "Tm glad you think so," he sneered.
 "I don't think; know" retorted the girl haughtily.
 Pinckney smiled with triumph.
 ''Well, it makes no difference now, anyway" he said. ''We get the order for the Rhinestrom gun because the Sommers gun has proved failure'
 Frances face grew suddenly white as she turned away quickly. The Sommers gun a failure! What blow it must be to himI Probably he didu't know it yet. How she would like to comfort him, and she could not! He would not listen to her. If she only could see him new! She was stilfssc engrossed with her own thoughts that she scarcely heard Ptnckney's ques- ton:
 Gan you leave tonight?'
 II think so, easily" agreed Mrs. Du- rant 1'What do you say, Frances p
 The girl turned wearily. After all, what difference did 1t make? She would not get chance to see Som mers. His ship might not arrive for a week. more. And, if she did see him, what could she say? 1t was all no use. She might as well agree to what they wanted. Why struggle longer? So she nodded inGifferently.
 "All right; I'll go whenever you wish.''
 Pinckney smiled his triumph, and Mrs. Durant beamed. "I'l hurry right upstairs and pack" she said we can leave in an hour" When Pinckney and her mother had gone Frances sat down at a table by herself to think. She was so lonely, and everything was so hopeless! There was no chance of seeing mmers, no chance of their ever coming together again.
 And she loved him. She knew that now. The clutch at her heart when she heard of his misfortune made it very clear to her. It was no use to try to deceive herself any longer. She loved him. She wanted him, for he was the one man in all the world who could make her happy. Now she was miserable, and he was failure. Pardon me, Miss Durant." At the cool penetrating voice Fran ces looked up. A big man with a shrewd face and clear, cold gray eyes that had sz1e particular faculty of com polling and riveting attention stood beside the table with his hat in his hand.
 Gan you tell me where I can find MT. Pinckney?'' he asked.
 The man was so obviously not mere ly seeking to scrape an acquaintance that the girl had no hesitancy in reply ing.
 "In the hotel, think" she said cool ly.
 You intend sailing almost immedi- ately, do you not7'' persisted the man. The girl was surprised, but the ques- tioner's manner was thoroughly re spectful and yet seemed to demand 8 reply.
 q believe so-yes," she said and half turned away. The 1uestioner bowed. 'tThank you" He half turned to go, then stopped and, turning back, said coolly: 4s
 By the way, 1t may interest you. Miss Durant, to know that the Roa- noke anchored in the harbor an hour ago and that Lieutenapt Sommers is expected at this hotel any minute" Then, lowing coolly, he turned and walked off, leaving Frances staring after him in astonishment. A slight noise back of her brought the girl to her senses. She looked up curiously.
