The Bangor Commercial, which hereto
fore has consistently opposed the automo-
biles to Bar Harpor, now says:
The trouble to-day is that many OF the non
residents ask for total exclusion of automo-
biles from Bar Harbor, and this feeling exists
to such an extent that none of the wealthy
summer residents rendered subscription for
the purpose of making one road as provided
by the legislature. Now as the
wealthy summer residents refuse to subscribe
towards the expense of building the one road
they should not object to the admission OF
automobiles on selected roads to and from the
village of Bar Harbor, provided the legisla-
ture refuses to open all roads. The people of
the State, as well as members of the legisla-
ture, are becoming tired OF this constant
turmoil regarding the admission of automo-
biles. and the question might as well be
settled now, as we believe that this constant
agitation of the automobile question is prov
ing harmful TO the best interests of Bar Har-

in good faith, and every cloud between
him and Nan would vanish! They
could be married at once and the flu
ture was secure All he had to do was
to keep silent for the moment as to his
real relations to Nan and compromise
his sense of honor by accepting the
wages of man whose principles he
despised. His decision was made with
out a moments hesitation.
81 refuse the offer, CAL" he said
firmly.
Bivens rose quickly and placed his
smooth hand on his friends.
II won't take that answer now.
Think it over. III see you again
He turned and left the room before
Stuart could reply.
The lawyer drew a photograph from
his desk and looked at it, smiling ten
derby
81 wonder. Nan! wonder"
The smile slowly faded. and frown
ciouded his brow. The lines of his
mouth suddenly frightened.
I'm settle it today" be said with de-
cision. as he rose, took his hat and left
for Gramercy park.
1t was noon when Stuart reached the
Primrose house, and Nan was again
out. He received the announcement
from her mother with a feeling of rage
he could ill conceal.
Where is she? seem never to be
able to find her at home"
Now. don't be absurd, Jim. You
know she would have broken any en-
gagement to see you had she known
you were going to call today. 1 don't
expect her home until -
"Of course. l understand, Mrs. Prim-
rose" Stuart said with a light laugh.
II should have told her, but didn't
know until a few moments ago that /
was coming"
Nothing serious has happened.
HOPPER she asked, with carefully mod
ulated sympathy, which said plainly
that she hoped for the worst
NO. Just say that I'll call after
dinner"
"All right, Jim. DEAR" the mother
purred. I'll see that she's here if

gan to ramble without purpose. Some

"But that's not the real reason you
come to me today with this PROPOSE
ton, is it,"
mot the only one You know my
friendship for you is genuine. You
know there's not a man in New York
for whom I'd do as much as / will for
you if you'll let me. Isn't that truep'
81 believe it-yes. And yet there
must be another reason. You're not
afraid of Woodman and wish to reach
him through me?"
The ghost of a smile fitted around
the shining little black eyes.
"Afraid?" he asked CONTEMPORARY.
I'm not even interested in him. The
old fossils a joke. He thinks he can
stop the progress of the world to at
tend case of measles in Mott street"
Stuart was silent a moment, watch
ing the dark masked face before him.
At last he blurted out:
"Well, Cal. what's the real reason
you make me this offer today?"
"You can keep little secretY'
"You ought to know that before max
ing me such an offer"
"Yes-yes. of course, / know you
will" Bivens paused and resumed his
cigar. 1.-The fact is-Jim-I'm in love-"
"But where do l come into this af-
fair?'
Simple enough. The Primroses"-
ooh, it's Miss Primrose"
"Yes-Miss Nan. You, see, they think
the world of you. She said you grew
up together in the same town. / was
telling her about my business. l must
have been Dragging about what we
were going to do. / was crazy, just
looking at her. Her beauty made me
drunk. | told her we needed new at
torney. She said you were the man. /
told her I'd offer you the place. She
seemed pleased Said she knew you
would accept. You've got to accept, old
man. | want to make her feel that her
word is law with me. Tell me, do you
think I've got chance with girl like
that? You know I've never gone with
girls much Pm timid and awkward
l don't know what to do or what to
say. But my money will help, won't
itY'
Money always helps in this town.
Cal"
"And it means so much to woman,
too, don't it?"
Eyes. Have you said anything to
Miss Nan yet?'
Lord, no! Haven't dared. I'm
kinder shying up to the old lady to get
her on my side. She seems awfully
friendly. l think she likes me. Don't
you think it a good plan to cultivate
herr"
'eBy all MEANS" was the dry reply.
"Say, Jim. help me. Take this attor-
neyship. 1t will please her and I'll
make you rich. Come in with me and
you'll never regret it. / know my folks
were not your social equals in the old
days down south. But you know as
we'll as l do that money talks here"
There was no installing the genuine

RAISING APPLES IN VERMONT.

An Iowa man with experience in apple
cultiva tion has como to Vermont. bought
large farm IN Rutland county, and set
out 1900 apple trees thereby showing
greater faith in Vermont than many
residents do If one were to judge by their
failure to go Into the apple raising DuSi-
ness on large scale and under the
proper methods. But perhaps that state
mcnt Is unfair to the residents of Yer
mont who haven't done anything in the
line of increasing their output Of apples;
they have the faith in Vermont and the
conviction that Vermonts climate and
soil are particularly we'll adapted to this
kind Of fruit cultivation. but they simply
have been content to let well enough
alone and to leave the hustling 10 some
one else, The result is that Vermont 5
splendid chances to develop very lucra-
tive form of farming have been allowed to
20 to waste and a few hustlers. like the
Iowa man ana some others. have been
allowed to go ahead ana develop the
business as well as the efforts of few
scattered farmers can do. Those who are
already well established in the bushes,
are making money off their apples as they
are producing monster crops and finding
a ready market for all they can raise.
We hope the Iowa man will meet witt
similar success I'm rocompense for his
faith in Vermont's apple growing posi-
hllitics. There surely Is a market for hin
and for great many other farmers il

I'll do this simple little deed
And then somehow | turn away
For what seems then of greater need
But when the time for help has gone,
When on my chance has set the sun,
There comes to me the thought of one
More helpful thing | might have done
We should not ever put away
one instant deeds we mean to do,
Nor keep the kind words we would say
Our selfish motives to pursue.
For when, to fly on angel wings
Away from earth, at last we're bid
Then shall we sigh DER many things
We meant to do, but never did.
