She|Ifish COmmissihn Visits Lower
Dorchester.

The members of the Shellfish
Commission, with Swepson Earle,
engineer to the Commission, visited
the lower part of the county Mon
day and yesterday, and made an
examination of the bottoms which
are the subject of a dispute be-
tween the oystermen and the Com
mission.
The examination showed to the
entire satisfaction of the members
of the Commission, and others in
the party, that a mistake had been
made in including large portion of
the bottoms in dispute, and it is
believed that the Commission will
voluntarily recommend to the Leg
islature that these bottoms be re-
surveyed. The examination of the
bottoms in the lower portion of the
county will not, of course, affect
the situation as regards other To-
calities.
The same conditions which exist
in the lower part of the county, ex-
list in the waters of the entire coun-
ty, as practically the whole OF
LeCompte's bay, and all of the
Choptank river have been included
in the survey as barren bottoms,
and applications have been filed
for the greater portions of these
areas.

American Equipment on Foreign
Railways

Washington, D. c., Aug. Is. =
The sales of American locomotives
and railway cars in foreign coun-
tries have been increasing steadily
for the past five years, but the
popularity of such rolling stock is
confined almost entirely to Canada
and Latin America In a mono
graph on the foreign markets for
railway supplies and equipment
about to be issued by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
it Is shown that of $S,300,000 worth
of railway cars sold to foreign coun-
tries during the first 10 months of
the fiscal year 1913, over $780,
900 worth were sold to Canada and
the Latin republics. During the
same period $1,300,o0O worth of
locomotives were shipped to ia
pan and Korea, but otherwise the
markets for American locomotives
have been limited to the American
continents. The exports of cleo
trio cars have made a decided jump
during the past year, but the in
crease Is due principally to orders
for more than $2,500,O00 worth of
cars for Brazil.
Railroad development in the old
or countries of Europe has been
along lines decidedly different from
those in the United States and dis
tinct types of rolling stock have
consequently been evolved. Ameri-
can locomotives have been tried
in few of these countries, but it
Is claimed that they have not prov
cd satisfactory. IN countries where
railroads are a more recent develop
mont the capital has to large ex-
tent been furnished by a few OF
the more important European coun-
tries, with the natural result that
orders for equipment are given to
the countries furnishing the capital
Where the roads are owned by the
Government. the home manufacture
ers are invariably favored in buy
ing equipment.
The monograph prepared by the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic
Commerce comprises reports from
the various American consuls on the
prospects Of selling American rail
way equipment abroad. These re-
ports contain Lists of railways, the
names and addresses of officials
charged with the duty of purchas-
ing supplies, descriptions of repair
shops and rolling stock, methods of
making purchases, etc. Consider
able attention is given to markets
for American specialities and novel
ties, for which there is a better mar
ket than for locomotives and cars
manufactured in the United States.

Louise l had not realized the depth Of
the wound In my heart her conduct
toward me had made. Even when I
saw her dash away from me In an au-
tomobile. panied though l was that our
interview should have been cut short,
I still did not comprehend what a ter
rfble blow 1t was that had befallen
me. It was tine sight as I left the
ferry OF the automobile dashing ny.
with Louise-the loved
seated beside Hugh Crandall. that
gave new poignancy to my pain, that
added to the fires OF jealousy, that
made me understand to the full the
dire import Of what had happened.
Louise had lied to me.
Crandall had been In the house. She
had seen him. She had left me to
Join him. She had even deserted her
helpless sister and her dying father
to 60 with him. And all the while e
lips had protested that no one had
been In the house but the doctors and
nurses.
AS l paced the platform and paced
1t back again, waiting two weary hours
for an Ardway train. as | sat for two
amending hours more In the long ride
through New Jersey, like a poisoned
knife, cutting my heart to shreds and
cutting the shreds again, the thought
kept coming back to me over and
over: "She lied to me"
Quarter q man alive, pour molten
metal into his eyeballs, feed him salt
fish and cut off water. bury him alive
In quicklime, devise what torture you
will and double 1t. the pain and agony
can not equal that which comes TO a
man who. believing In and trusting
and loving a IN with his whole
heart, is forced to admit to himself
that she has deceived him-that She
has lied to him. In those awful hours
| came to know the seven hells. l
went through all Of them.
Only one ray Of comfort same to
me. As had asked myself why did
she lie?" I found myself believing that
she had done so, no of her W free
will, but impelled by some motive SO
powerful that she could not resist 1t.
That 1t was the influence OF Crandall
l could no doubt. He had 80 proved
on her fears for her father and sister,
perhaps on her fear for me. that he
had induced her to try to persuade me
to give up my investigation and had
made her promise to accompany him
on some doubtful secret mission.
1T Is not my secret
! recalled the piteous cry my en-
treaties had wrung from her lips, and
found the logical explanation Of 1t In
her having been terrorized by that
villain, Crandall. II ] could have found
him at the moment | could have killed
him with my naked hands.
Yet yer though | was convinced
that Louise had lied to me, I began to
feel that whatever she had done. what
ever she was now doing, was In the
belief hat she was acting for the best
for her dear ones, for me.

her " dear voice, said to me:
Harding. l must 60. Please trust
me. and please. please. do what l ask
OF you. Good-by."
She broke from my encircling hands
and ran to the front door.
BY the time l reached 1t after her
she was already in the car. l tried
to catch the direction she whispered
to the chauffeur but could not. Before
! could collect my thoughts the great
sixty horsepower machine had van
ished around the corner.
Where was she going? 1t seemed
to me that every hour added to the
chain Of mysteries in which | had
become involved. l was convinced
that In some way Louise. too, had
been ensnared by the master OF crime
who had plotted all this evil, but how,
| could not imagine. Yet more and
more. 1t seemed to me, all clues point
ed to Hugh Crandall. What could have
been Louise's motive in denying to
me that he had been in the house,
She must have known l..

iris, the %oleander, the mimosa, the Ii.
lac, the gigantic aloe tout of whose
leaves rope is now made), the yellow
cassia Il many. many more.
But the undisputed queen of flow
ers, the rose, beloved alike Of godj
and men, is everywhere pre-emi-
Among the ancient Greeks, we are
told, the rose was also the emblem of
silence and beauty. And what an elo-
quent silence filed with the odors of
sweet thoughts, too sweet for words,
the pure white memories of loves kiss
es In the moonlight, the warm golden
raptures of not Don i'll southern sun
shine, the blood red hours of passion
in the pomegranate shade, that can
never be renewed. Of all these, by it's
thousand varying shades and colors,
the Queen Rose reminds us, and of the
beauty that has smiled upon our path.
We have the tiny rosebud darling nest
ling in a mothers arms. the pure child
loneliness in it's robes of snowy white,
the pale blush rose of a young girls
cheek at the earliest thought of love:
the shyly opening petals as the sun
first kisses move them: the coy yet
glad and golden yielding OF passions
warm embraces, the red. reckless rap
ture of its full fruition, the stately
beauty of fair form and perfect out
line. and not least, for some OF US
the faded rose leaves cherished from
a past that is ever present, that for us
can never die,
In the festivals Of pagan Rome the
rose had an honored place. Cham
bers. couches and paths were thickly
streWn with rose leaves, and rose gar
lands crowned the statues of the gods.
The Emperor Nero, of whom 50 many
harsh judgments have been recorded,
had at least one good and gentle trait
he loved roses. 1t is said that he
spent enormous sums on their c~ultiva-
ton.
The flower markets Of the Riviera
are never to be forgotten sights. We
must include not merely those where
foreigners go to buy a few handfuls,
or armfuls, for their rooms, but the
public wholesale markets held in the
chill winter dawns while the visitors
are yet asleep, where dealers buy the
fair blossoms still unopened, and pack
them off by yanloads TO Germany, Aus
tria, or Russia. The making of bas-
kets for this business of expectation
is a fourishing industry in itself, and
trains are often delayed on account of
the large number of packages TO be
loaded.
