What Came of a Rainy Day.
Copyright. 1914, by W. werner.l

1t was Saturday afternoon. and the
rain disoblieingly beat the roses from
the hedge and plastered the petals against
the weather boarding and window panes
Rivulets of clavey water gurgled nolsliy
in the wheel tracks of the road that was
even now a dim, misty strip. Everything
from sky to barn, with its litter OF time
stained farm implements, was hopelessly
sodden.
Nina Orion sighed dolorously IN con-
templating it. She had planned to speno
the evening with Lena Myers. a city girl
who did stunts in the way OF reporting
society's doings, and who sometimes
came for an over Sunday visit with rela-
tives. She could not go, OF course TOT the
walk was a mile away if one crossed
fields. and much farther if one followed
the road.
And Lena was so clever and inspiring,
and she was almost her only friend. 1t
seemed 100 bad that she should miss
this pleasure when so few fell to her lot.
But it's always So she told herself
with a dissatisfaction as stormy as the
weather. And it will always be so.

She caught it up quickly and held 1t

over it in sudden contrition. After a
while she put it down and went to the
window again. Suddenly, on the high
grade of d cross road an object appeared.
Presently it was a motor car, and in a

ing the sheep Enclosure is over six feet
high and is covered at the top with a
wire spreader, put there for the special
purpose of keeping such intruders out.
How the dogs manage to leap the fence
and get through the wire netting is a
mystery. BY some it is thought that
the dog must be great greyhound, as
The case is of especial interest now, In

Georgetown Merchants to Fight.

Plans of army engineers looking to-
ward the building of new commercial
bridge across the Potomac from the foot
of G or II street northwest to RossIyn,
Va, are to be vigorously opposed by
merchants of Georgetown, who assert
that such bridge would bring about
the extinguishment of the fourishing
business section that has been built up
west of Rock creek.
P T. Moran, feed merchant of George
town. who is a member of the board of
directors of the Chamber of Commerce,
the Georgetown Citizens Association and
other civic organizations. stated today
that the building of a bridge at the site
mentioned would destroy practically all
business in Georgetown At present Mr.
Moran said. a large volume of trade
comes to the Georgetown merchants from
Virginia farmers and others using the
Aqueduct bridge. Diversion of traffic
by the electric railways, which for some
time have been routing many of their
cars via Arlington and into the city over
the Highway bridge, he said. already had
reduced the rural and suburban trade of
Georgetown merchants to a point far be-
low what II was in former years, and the
building of the proposed new bridge
would take away practically all of the
Virginia trade those merchants still re-
tain.
Other merchants of Georgetown voiced
similar views. and the declaration was
made that the Georgetown Citizens AS
ISOLATION would stand solidly against the
location of a new bridge at the point des-
ignated.

TWO POTOMAC BRIDGES
PREDICTED BY SWANSON
GEORGETOWN Merchants to Fight
Proposed New Span to Ross

Senator Swanson of Virginia. who has
been a strong advocate of the construc-
ton of the proposed memorial bridge
across the Potomac river to Arlington.
Va, said today that he believed both
the memorial bridge and the CONNER
cial bridge proposed by army engineers
across the Potomac river at the foot OF
G or H street should be constructed.
I'VE are going to build both of these
bridges" he said.
Senator Swanson. as chairman OF the
Senate committee on public buildings and
grounds. is a member of the commission
authorized last year by Congress to make
plans for the memorial bridge The public
building law enacted at that time car
ried the authorization for the commits
sion and also authorized the appropria
ton of $4,000 for the use of the commits
sion
Since that law was passed. however
Senator Swanson said today. Congress
has been engaged almost continuously
upon large amount of important legis-
1ation, and the commission has not yet
begun its work.
The President is chairman of the COM
mission said Senator Swanson. He
added that at an opportune time he in
tended to ask the President to take up
the matter of the memorial bridge.

DEPREDAT|NG DOGS
KILL VALUABLE SHEEP
Others Are Mangled at Federal Ex-
perimental Station at
Bethesda, Md.

Jumping six-foot fence topped at
it's height by wire 'spreader," some
sheep-killing dog or dogs unknown
gained entrance to the sheep Enclosure
a the government experimental station
at Bethesda, Md, Tuesday night and
killed three valuable sheep which
experiments were being conducted, and
seriously wounded fourteen more so
that 1t is expected eight of them will
die.
1t is stated by Dr. f. c. Schroeder.
superintendent of the station. that two
of the sheep injured are especially
valuable animals. and that if they die
from the terrible wounds inflicted by
the dogs it will mean loss of eighteen
months in the work of the bureau.
The experimental station contains
about fifty acres of land owned by the
Department of Agriculture, and about
as many more rented. At the station
all kinds of animal diseases are being
studied.
Victims Undergoing Experiments.
The sheep injured were two animals
upon which experiments have been in
process for eighteen months and now
is the critical period in the development
of the experiments with them, Dr.
Schroeder states.
Depredations have been committed by
sheep-killing dogs at the Bethesda sta
ton before. but Tuesdays performance
caps the climax and brings the situa-
ton to an acute stage. Two or three
months ago some dog or dogs-no one
knows how many dogs are the culprits.
as the crime against the sheep is al
ways committed at night-secured ac-
cess to the sheep and killed three of
them.
One of the dogs attacked a Waterman
on this occasion and was Knocked on
the head with large club which the
Waterman happened to have with him.
The blow rendered the dog unconscious
and the animal was thought to be dead
Subsequently, reviving the dog was
rescued by its owner. who asserted at
the time that the laws of Maryland did
not warrant the men at the experiment
station in killing sny dogs found attack
ing the sheep
War Declared on Dogs.
DIR. Schroeder asserts, however that
the law of Maryland is behind him and
the station in this matter, and that any
dogs caught in the act of killing sheep
Will be shot upon sight. Guards have
been stationed around the sheep In
closure, armed with shotguns. II is de-
clared that all dogs will be killed with
out mercy and left to lie until their
owners come to claim them.
II is felt that the case has become so
acute at Bethesda that some drastic ac-

POSTAL EMPLOYEES NOT

Other Jobs Will Be Found for Those
Whose Places Are
Abolished.

While no further "furloughs or dis
missals are contemplated in the Post Of

dication. it vas explained authoritative
ly at the department today, when the
legislative. executive and judicial appro-
priation bill. which makes provision for
the clerical help in the department be-
comes law, a number of changes are
likely to be made in the supervisory Of
fcers of the fourth assistant postmaster
generals office.
According to the peculiar wording of
the bill, the topographer for the Post
Office Department will become superin-
tendent of supplies at an annual salary
of $50. instead of $500 as at present.
and the superintendent of supplies now
provided for will become assistant super
