Plan FOR AIDING

In the opinion Of Governor Mann. the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce could
hardly take UP project which would
be more advantageous to the city than
q sand clay road from West Point to
thinks. would result inevitably In
making large portion of the East
ern Shore, which now does it's t-ndinr
in Baltimore, tributary to Richmond;
D The Governor was much Impressed
during his recent trip to the North
ern Neck with the immense amount
of trading carried on between that sec
ton and Baltimore. and with the fact
that the people there know far more
about the Maryland city than about
the capital OF their own state. Steam
ers laden to the limit with north
bound produce and with southbound
merchandise ply daily UP and down
the bay. while this, the only
service out OF the section which is
worthy the name, carried shoppers to
Baltimore for their goods.
Would Help Richmond.
A road from West Point, the ter
minus of the Southern. to Urbanna;
the county seat of Middlesex, would
tap the central part of Baltimore's
territory. The sand and clay are ION

lieves that the road could be con-
structed for $500 mile.

miles. The people of Middlesex and
Gloucester would be soon in the habi,
of driving to West Point and would
come on to Richmond. The eventua
result would be an electric line be-
tween these points, giving Richmond
the trade which should rightly be
hers.
Or as an alternative. an electric
line might be practicable from Lester

an open fire was cracking cheerily.
II knew you'd be chilled, Dick, after your

All. here are the others"
Kingston was we'll acquainted with the
elder Willoughby bluff and burly. clad in
blazer and knickerboekcrs. who greeted him
with hearty hand-elasp. The others he
identified at glance. The placid-featured.
keen-eyed. aristocratie septuagenarian was
undoubtedly Judge Desmond. His gait be-
trayed the military man in Colonel Mathews
Lastly came the Count de Sacran. forty or
forty-fve years old. OF medium height and
build. whose jet-black hair contrasted strik-
ingly with his pallid eountenance.
The conversation was of the usual desul-
tory, light. FIVE O'Clock variety. Kingston,
for man supposed to be absorbed in scien-
tiio pursuits dis played an amazing interest in
cakes and tea. After little he found himself
chatting with de Saeran.

Good, he won't regret it,"
Left to himself, Kingston lit cigarette,
and stood for moment staring out OF the
window into the gray OF the early evening.
His foreheadwas wrinkled in puzzled frown.
That's the man, fast enough" he solilo-
quized. "but l can't say that entirely grasp
the situation. Ii the truth is as suspect,
what hell he must be going through"
Pulling down the window-shade, he turned
and dressed rapidly. He had but finished
when the soft. muffled note Of dinner gong
sounded. He smiled grimly as he stopped
and drew from the suitcase slender object
wrapped in tissue paper. Tearing off the
paper, he disclosed small but solid looking
hammer. which he dropped into his pocket,
muttering:
Its cruel expedient. but it's the only
way out. He'll thank me for i, in the end"
As'he stepped into the passage the door Of
the adjoining room opened. and he came face
to face with de Saran. In his evening
clothes the Frenchmans extreme pallor was
more noticeable than ever.
After you, monsieur. said he, with cour-
teous bow. "How chill it is this evening""

That dinner-hour was long remembered by

that focused all attention OH him. He

There was one among his auditors, how
ever, who appeared singularly Indifferent to
his entertaining anecdotes. This was the
Count de Sacran. At first dc Sacran had
joined in the conversation with true Gallican
animation, But as time passed he became
strangely i'll at ease, lapsing into an almost
moody silence, glancing frequently at tall
clock that stood on the opposite side Of the
room, and occasionally tapping nervously on
the tablecloth. None noticed his behavior,
SO absorbed were they in all that Kingston was
saying. When coffee had been served de
Sacran, as If unable to contain himself longer,
leaned forward, and, in an undertone, said to
Miss Willoughby:
