1.-THE Good for Nothing"
NOTE THIS WAS TpE

EoR 1T


Where in thunder's that good for
nothing boy?" growled Mr.. Sterling,
sinking down before his breakfast
place at the table.
81 think perhaps he isn't up yet, "
his mother murmured deprecatingly.
81 should think he wouldn't be up
snapped the elder Sterling, crawling
home at daylight, as he did this morn
| ing Simmons, go Waken Gilbert"
In spite of Simm mss conscientious
efforts to rouse the sleeping youth. the
| breakfast party separated without
seeing him Simmons was clearing
! the table when Mrs. Sterling checked
him from moving the place set for
Gilbert. Let it be. The boy will want
his breakfast when he awakens." she
said.
And in truth he did. When he came
jauntily downstairs at 1920 he showed
eager appreciation of the tempting
breakfast spread before him, and
kissed his mother gayly, assuring her
that she was an old dear to fuss so
much for her bad little boy. Then
he went off to the office, where he
found his brother Ralph absorbed in
papers at his desk. To his airy greet
ing he received a chilly response, but
the settling gloom was soon broken by
the tingling of the telephone bell
Ralph interrupted his work to an
swer it, then handed the receiver to
Gilbert, growing, It's a pity you
can't let the girls alone the few min
utes you do spend in the office
Ignoring his brother Gilbert cooed
appropriate replies into the black fun
mel, then grabbed up his hat. As he
was leaving the room he met Miss
Gertrude Chaplin. Ralph's fiancee,
coming in. Sweeping her a low bow
he winked at his brother and fioated
into the outer office, where he found
the old clerk bending over his high
stool.
How're you, old chap? You're look
ing fine as silk" he commented cor
daily, humping his shoulder. Potelis
thin, white face flushed and he smiled
affectionately back at the big fellow,
who leaned toward him and whis-
pered, patting his pockets suggestive
ly. From his own pocket Potel drew
a coin and dropped it into Gilberts
hand. and the latter, with a laughing
salute, disappeared from the office.
outside the door he approached the
chauffeur of the car which had
brought Miss Chaplin.
SAY, she'll be in there a long time.
Give me lift; that's a good fellow
and he pressed the coin he had just
received from the clerk into the

Gilbert NJ. Anderson, known to fame
and millions of film fans by the cow
boy garb of Broncho Billy, figures in
todays Essanay release in a boiled

manners as the Good for Nothing. :"
This is "a decidedly new role for the
actor who has been hero in scores of
Western pictures for the last eight
years, since his connection with
George X. Spoor in the Essanay COM

BRIDGE WORK PROGRESSES.
More Materials Started for New Steel
Structure at Woodbridge, Va.

Laden with several thousand feet of
heavy pine timber to be used in work
preliminary to the construction of the
new steel bridge at Woodbridge, Va.
on the Richmond Washington railroad
line. the schooner John Fisher left here
yesterday in tow for Woodbridge. on
Occoquan creek.
The lumber, it is said, is to be used
in sheet piling for cofferdams, and is
the first of large quantity of the ma
rerial that will be sent from this city
to Woodbridge.
Good progress is being made on the
piers that will support the new bridge,
and 1t is only question of a short
time before the erection of the steel
work will be started.
The new bridge will be of the latest
type of railway track carrying struc-
ture. and will be good for efficient
service for d quarter of century or
longer. without being renewed. The
new bridge will take the place OF
high wooden trestle. which is said to
have been built many years ago, and
which has been renewed numerous
times.
