WHEN people earnestly desire to
have anything, the individual or
mass of citizens concentrate effort
to accomplish the purpose desired,
and in the effort to have a new rail-
road station at Milford in place of
the structure which has done service
for more than fifty years, and which
long since out lived its usefulness
as station for so important a town
as Milford, Just SO soon as it is pro-
posed to demand from the company
what is due to the community in the
way of creditable station and depot
facilities, there crops out immedi-
ately obstructionists by word or
suggestion, which has always con-
veyed to the authorities through
whom the improvements must come
the impression that there is no
general sentiment among the people
that this should be accomplished
at once, and that the effort is only
the work bf few radical individ-
uals. The meeting in Armory Hall
last Friday right which was at
tended by over one hundred and
twenty-five of tAe business people
Of Milford and prominent farmers
of this vicinity, clearly showed !
that there is a depot rooted purpose
among all the people to have the
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
railroad company play fair with
Milford, and place a station and
other facilities about their property
here, which will be a credit to the
town, for it is by these that the
stranger and visitors forms favor
able impressions of any town or
city as a place for either business
or abode. The petitions circulat-
ing and which are to again be
presented to the stockholders at
their annual meeting at George
town next Wednesday, will be the
second presentation asking for
justice for Milford, and the citizens
should by personal appeal to the
directors at that meeting, either
as a body, or as individuals, make
it clear that we all want this i'm
provement and necessity for the
future progress Of Milford. Boost
the plan don't knock.

ter of the same faith, to assist him for
one week, they came here, bringing with
them a large canvas tent which they
pitched on the vacant lot situate on South
Front Street between the homes of S.
N. Gray and Capt. Wilson NJ. Vinyard.
When the first meeting was held there
were but eight persons present, but after
a few nights there began to be manifest
considerable interest in the work, the
enthusiasm increasing each night until,
with about thirty persons converted to
the faith, the Methodist Protestant
Church of Milford was organized about
the Sth or 10th of October, 1910.
After the effecting of the church or
ganzation the revival meetings con-
tinued with renewed fervor, until as the
early Fall approached, those who had
connected themselves with the organi-
zation, and their leader, Rev. Bennett,
readily recognized that a building must
be had or the work abandoned. Conse-
quently the Rev. Bennett suggested the
of the Tabernacle, which was
decided upon, built and furnished within

The old guard of liquor drinkers
have found that the Alderman of
Milford believes that if they can
find the cash to purchase liquor,
they can find the cash to pay stiff
fines when they appear upon the
streets of the town in drunken and
disgrGcefl1l condition and offensive
to the public sense of decency.
Last Saturday night the police
rounded up seven of this par
ticular class, and their net fines
paid into the town treasury was
thirty-Oue dollars and fifty cents.
If they must have liquor, the public
has no quarrel with them over that,
Dur when they. become a common
nuisance, as staggering drunks on
the streets, then the public has
grievance against them, and if they
persist, then they must sacrifice the
cash with which they might have
bought liquor, to the town treasury
in fines for this offence. The habit
ual absorbers of liquor will keep up
the practice SO long as they live,
and it is possible that others may
follow them in the future, for man
kind is frail and liable to fall in
trouble, but the offence to the pub
lie eye of drunken men on the
streets, is rapidly becoming ararity.

The windows of the church, which are

interested in the church. The following

In the early part of November, 1910,

had increased enormously, proceeded to

The Praise That Comes From
Thankful Putnam People

One kidney remedy has known merit
 Putnam people rely upon 1t
 That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
 Putnam testimony proves 1t reliable.
 Daniel whittsmore, 52 Walnut street, Putnam. Conn.,, says: My kidneys were at fault for over two years. At first there was pain across the small of my back and then an annoyance from the kidney secretions set in and disturbed my rest. Whenever I caught cold. 1t set tied in my kidneys and aggravated my trouble. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills. thought they might help me and procured supply at Dresser's Drug 8 ore. They removed the difficulty with the kidney secretions and the pain in my back disappeared. l have had no return attack of kidney complaint
 The above statement was given March 1, 1906, and several years later MT. Whit ,emore said @I still hold high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills-and you may con tinue to publish my former endorsement. I have had no kidney trouble to speak oi since this remedy cured me-"

 We can plan out some of our fac tory affairs on the way home, on the i train. Stanton arranged, at the close Of the last day. when taking temporary leave of his mechsnician at the Mer- cury camp.
 I'm planning fender for each side Of the Comet racing car, so that when you feel like knocking in few lengths of the infleld fence. as you did this afternoon, we'll be ready for it. mocked Floyd, his efervescent youth heady as champagne. ! Fence or no fence. We won," Stan ton retorted indulgently.
 "Of coursel You kept right on driv- ing the front of your car. so the rear just naturally had to climb back on the road and follow. I expected that; you were too busy to stop for little thing like side-wiping a fence"

 And indeed there had been nc DOS. sible mistaking of the welcome and pleasure in his cry, or in his truthful face. Stanton took the seat opposite and pulled a folded newspaper from his pocket, passing it across.

 The silence was long. After reading Floyd turned his face to the window and so remained But a last he looked back to Stanton and nodded.
 "Yes, 1t means that I get back my fathers factory" he confirmed quietly ''I am very glad. although it doesn't do me much actual good. I have no eapi- tai to run an automobile plant, and will not sell unless I am forced to 1t. ''
 You would like to operate it?"
 The blood ran up under Floyd's fine skin, he met Stanton's eyes with a glance of ire-ardent passion and de- sire.
 'T'd give all the rest of my life to operate that factory for one year, as my father planned for me-Pd give it for six months to justify his faith and training You do not know, you can not know!"
 Gan I not?" Stanton retorted. "FToyd, what do you think I am rac- ing for, if I can not understand risk ing something for an object. I told you once that I would not live poor I was not born to that. If win anoth- CT prize or two this season, will have enough capital to match somewhat with. your factory. We both under stand the motor business pretty well: do you want, in case all goes right, to join with me and revive the famous Comet motor-cars! Don't answer now, think the thing over"

 Wait; there is time enough Wa may easily lose everything we put into the venture, factory and all: or we may not"
 'I'd chance my part"
 Why, so would l." agreed Stanton. Meanwhile you had better try me as a travelling companion before you take me as partner. Remember we would be teammates for a long race"

CHAPTER TX.
The Chance for Jessica.

When the assistant manager of the Mercury Company came through the train, next morning, and saw the two who were breakfasting together in the dining car, he stopped in the aisle with an expression of one brought face to face with the disagreeable unexpected.
 "Welli" he calculated. "Welli"
 Start 1t with an H, if you like" suggested Stanton, coolly amused.
 MT. Greens mouth grew thin from pressure.
 If you quarrel with Floyd, shall not know where out here I can get you another mechanician in time" he gave stiff warning
 "All right" was the answer.
 Floyd was engaged in blocking out a map with toothpicks, and did not look up; he appeared even more ridiculous ly young and gay-spirited than usual. in the morning sunlight. But some thing in the boise of his bright head echoed that "all right" Mir. Green went on, and interfered no more dur ing the journey
 
 superb two-mile track was to extend over three days. The contests were of varied types and classes, but the Mer- cury was entered for at least one event and frequently several, on each day.
 Aren't there any Atalanta cars en- tered. at all?" Floyd wondered, on the first morning at the track
 None" Stanton assured.

 What for?"

 Their luck held good They had neither illness nor serious accident to mar their series of victories and trials. For Stanton drove as If by inspira- tion. and many of the honors of the carnival remained with him.
 You've struck the perfect course stanton" declared famous rival, upon offering his congratulations after suffering a masterly defeat in a ffve- mile contest. He did not like the oth- CT man, but he was obliged to admire him.
 How so?" Queried Stanton as sue cinctly.
 Between reckiessness and over-cau- ton"
 It was quite true. With Floyd be- side him, Stanton's driving was as daringly brilliant, but characterized by some rational consideration of the pos abilities of disaster. Why? No one had time to speculate.
 It was commencing to trouble Stan ton himself, this growing affection Tor his nnechanician that threatened to be come an absorbing need. He had never needed any one, he had been self-sufficient and self-centered; and now he felt blank chill at the idea of losing the society of this bowman. It chafed and fretted him with sense of bondage; when he felt the cords draw most, he turned upon Floyd and worried him savagely.

An Interval.
 It was on the second day after his arrival in New York that Stanton called upon Jessica Floyd. This time he went more confidently up the stairs of the quiet apartment house. sure of his right.
 As before, the little old Irishwoman clad in black silk was waiting to ad. init him; as before, he could have cried cut in the wonder of seeing this girl who turned FToyd's candid face to him and smiled with F1oyd's gray eyes. Only, this afternoon Jessicia did not rise from the piano seat to greet him, but from chair near window.
 "Jes is away again." she regretted, giving him her hand.
