CLEANUP DAY AND AGITATION.

M AYoR HowELLs suggestion that Wilmington
have Cleanup Day this Spring has excited
much favorable comment The question presents
itself whether the people will follow such favorable
comment by practical action.
Whatever is done must be done voluntarily. There
be compulsion except in instances in which
there is apparant violation Of the health ordinances.
In fact we feel sure that Mayor Howell has de-
sire to have compulsory cleaning up of premises a
feature Of the campaign he has nausurated His ap-
peal has been addressed to the civic pride rather than
to the fear Of Wilmngtonians and 1t should meet
with hearty response in all sections OF the city.
II each householder will take the matter home to
himself aud decide that he will do his part toward
making his home city cleaner and better and brighter
the OF the Mayors plan will be assured from
tho start Unfortunately there will be no such unan-
unity of thought and action unless it be stimulated by
public-spirted men and women in the several wards
and election districts. Such agitation should be
begun at to the end that the suggestion made by
the Mayor may lead TO practical and beneficial results

that Cannon, as soon as she was gone,
might have regretted his action and
telephoned from his office to stop the
payment on it. She knew that onco
the money was hers he would not
make any attempt to get 1t back. His
own reputation and that of his daugh-

with the transaction for him to dare
to apprehend or punish Berny for her
deception.
Her heart gave wild leap as she
saw the teller returning, and then
pause behind the netting of his golden
cage while he counted out the bills.
She tried to speak lightly to him as
he laid them one by one on the glass
slab. She was hardly conscious Of

that the crisp roll of paper in her
fingers was her possession, If not OF
great fortune, at least of something
to stand between her and the world.

had carried her on to this point hav-
