Dunbar stepped out of the tall Park
row building with pleasant sense of
freedom. He had turned in his last
page of copy for the Sunday edition.
and he had twenty hours of rest and
relaxation ahead Of him. To Sam Dun
the Daily Universe. relaxation meant
seeking his pleasure among haunts that
must furnish copy. In his youthful
enthusiasm his life had thus far con-
sisted Of work. sleep and work.
On this Saturday night Sam was in
spired to seek the garish lights of the
Bowery In some restaurant there be

was looking fOr-the weaker brother
who had lost hope and self respect and
who was burdened with a multitude
of vices. yet in whom there might be
some slumbering spark that could be
famed to a fame of renewed interest
in life, ambition and. in the end. rep
utable citizenship. If be could prove
that this might be done with some of
the degenerate sons Of the city. per-
haps a measure of the gold that was
steadily poured toward the enlighten-
ment of the heather of other lands

all charities at home.
Now he strolled along the Bowery.
mingling with the crowds that throng-
ed the sidewalks. looking here and
there for a cheap eating house wherein
he might find what he was looking for.
Sam Dunbar was hanging up his hat
in a chop house preparatory to TAX
ing seat at one of the polished cher
ry tables when the vacant eyed youth
whom he had picked out for his prey

suddenly arose from his seat and ap-

place. Two fashily dressed men sat
in distant corner. Here and there
man was eating solitary meal. and
directly opposite him girl was bent
over the greasy bill of fare.
There was something in the droop of
her shoulders that appealed TO him.
They looked like shoulders that were
accustomed to carrying themselves
proudly, but now they hunched to-
gether. and the enormous beaver hat
was so Topped down about the girls
face that he could see nothing save a
round white chin and pair of red
lips that undoubtedly trembled.
Regardless of the walters diSdainful
glance and the insulting laugh of a
man in striped suit of clothes. Sam
reclaimed his nat and moved across to
the table occupied by the girl She did
not lift her head at his approach. She
merely bowed it lower over the framed
cardboard until the broken feather on
her hat nearly swept the table.
The broken feather decided the mat
ter for Sam Dunbar. If there was no
degenerate young man to be reclaimed
that night. here was material to his
hand. or. as he told himself. for his
paper. =;
The waiter showed a card under
Sans nose and thumped a glass of
water on the table.
"a porterhouse steak and coffee"
was his decision.
"And yours" The waiter snapped
the question at the girl.
"A sandwich and cup Of tea"
came from under the beaver hat in a
very small voice.
The waiter departed and returned
almost Immediately with the tea and
sandwich.
The girl slowly lifted her head and
made pretense at eating the food.
Sam. apparently absorbed in a news
paper. noted that she ate daintily and
that her hands were pretty and we'll
kept Her face was charmingly sweet
and refined
Where had she come from? What
was she doing here on the Bowery?
Sam asked himself these questions as
he discussed his meal He wished
there was something that he could do.
He felt that she needed protection
Hers was the timidity of innocence.
There was no guile in the frightened
blue eyes that evaded his.
An opportunity came. The door
swung open. and nan entered. a
staggering. half drunken individual.

George Heimlich, J. a. Sycks and
F. p. Berringer. road commissioners
on what is known as the Berrlnger
pike. win receive bids on the work at
noon next Saturday. The road Is s
miles long. running north from Waldo
one and one-half miles, thence east
TO the county line between Marion and
Morrow counties distance of six and
one-half miles Engineer Ault has
estimated the work at s27,199.90.
A rather unusual feature enters into
the estimate, for the reason that It Is
based upon crushed stone being Sc
cured from the land of Michael ia
coby and S. II. Setterheld. This land
lies about the center of the proposed
Improvement.
Property owners along the line OF
the pike asked the engineer to esti-
mate the stone from this land. This
means that II the job is bid in, the
contractor will have TO open up quar-
ries on the land mentioned, install q
crusher and crush his own stone. He
will have to pay 10 cents cubic yard
for the stone i'm the ground.
Should this be done, the road can
be built for the engineers estimate.
but should there be no bidders, and
the stone have TO be estimated from
Marion. or Cardington, the cost of
building the road will be just about
doubled.
Land owners along the road feel
confident that there will be plenty Of
bidders but the county surveyor is not
so sanguine. The contractor would
get his crushed stone at a reduced
cost but his profit would go into the
erection OF a crusher and the opera
tion of plant which would be USE
less TO him after the road was com
pleted.
At the same time, bids will be re-
ceived on the Setter pike which lies
In Big Island township, is three miles
in length and lies east of Agosta. The
engineers estimate on this road 81 is
$t2.37S. The road commissioners are
"a-'uel and Christian Setter and John
Smith.
