CHAPTER xiV.-continued.

SnAF n AIv.-SOnttNuGO.
 When the night boat from Dover to Calais slipped away from her moor ings that evening, Hetty Castleton and her maid were on board with all their bags and trunks, and Brandon Booth was supposed to be completely at sea in the heart of that glittering London town.
 The night was fog-laden and drip ping, and the crossing promised to be unpleasant. Wrapped in . thick sea ulster Hetty sat huddled up in the lea of the deckhouse, sick at heart and miserable. She reproached herself for the scurvy trick she was playing on him, reviled herself and yet pitied her self.
 A tall man came shambling down the narrow space along the rail and stopped directly in front of her. She started in alarm as he reached out his hand to support himself against the deckhouse. AS he leaned forward, he laughed
 You were thinking of me, Hetty." said the man.
 For long time she stared at him, transf1xed, and then, with low moan, covered her eyes with her hands.
 ''Is 1t true-is 1t dream?" she sobbed
 He dropped down beside her and gathered her in his strong, eager arms. You were thinking of me, weren't you? And representing yourself. and hating yourself for running away like this? l thought so. Well. you might just as well try to dodge the smart est detective in the world as to give me the slip now, darling"
 'You-you spied on me?" she cried. fin muffied tones. She lay very limp in his arms.
 I did" he confessed, without shame Cad, when l think of what I might be doing at this moment if l hadn { found you out In time! Think of me back there In London, racing about like a madman, searching for you in every"
 Please, please!" she implored
 But luck was with me You cant get away, Hetty. l shan't let you out of my sight again. I'll camp in front of your door and you'll see me wither and die of sleeplessness for one or the other of my eyes will always be open" "Oh. l am so tired, so miserable, |" she murmured.
 Poor little sweetheart"
 T wish you would hate me"
 Lie where you are, dearest and forget!"
 If only could-forget!"
 Rest will hold you tight and keep you warm. We're in for a nasty crossing, but it Is paradise for me. am mad with the delight of having you here. holding you close to me, feeling you in my arms. The wilder the night the better, for I am wild with the joy of 1t all. l love you! love you!" He strained her closer to him in a sort of paroxysm.
 She was quiet for a long time. Then she breathed into his ear:
 You will never know how much was longing for you. just as you are now, Brandon, and in the midst of 1t all you came. It Is like fairy story, and oh. l shall always believe in fairies"
 A long time afterward the throbbng ceased, bell-buoys whistled and changed about them; the sea suddenly grew calm and lifeless; they slid over it as If 1t were quavering sheet C. ice; and lights sneaked out of the icS and approached with stealthy swiftness Bells rang below and above them,

To Name Important
New Streets After
Nations Presidents

some day boast of a Lincoln, jackson,
Madison. Mckinley, Cleveland, aye,
even q Roosevelt street, IL City Engi-
neer Cowden's plan for naming the
broader, more important highways of
the future can be carried out.
That's why the Engineer carefully
avoided choosing the name of Presi-
dent of the United States in naming
the scores of streets and alleys pro-
vided for by the ordinances offered
in City Council yesterday afternoon
by William III. Lynch, Commissioners
Of Streets and Public improvements.
Names like Lincoln and so on
should be reserved for one of our
most important streets, one that may
in the future be opened, should any
new section of adjacent territory be
developed and taken into the city,
said the Engineer FOR the same
reason all the names of Presidents,
except possibly those few streets that
have long since been called after a
former head of the nation, ought to
be held in reserve. But the selection
of street names is some job, believe
me- smiled Mr.. Cowden.

Commission on the freight rate in

Recent developments have impelled
the commission to put aside collateral
issues and extraneous questions and

Counsel for the railroads already
have indicated that they may awe
their right to argue the case orally and

To Divide City Schools
Into Five Districts

From dozen to fifteen more teach
ers, principals for five grammar
grades and four new supervisors will
be elected by the school board at its
meeting May 1. The necessary au-
thority to provide for the supervisors
was recommended by the teachers
committee last evening and will be
acted upon by the school board, how
ever. Friday evening. The teachers
committee decided to recommend that
the city be divided into five instead of
two supervisor districts.
DR.. J.. S. Shimmell's place as super
visor will have to beefilled, in addition
to the three new places. If the usual
custom is followed, principals of four
of the schools will be advanced to fill
these jobs This will leave that many
|principalships to be provided for.
Salaries for the year will be fixed
at the May meeting, too, and it is
likely that DIR. r.. e. Downes will be
reelected school superintendent at the
same time.

Thousand Added to Democratic
Totals; 300 Subtracted From
Republicans

In it's desperate attempts to boil
ster up the Democratic strength in
Dauphin county and to nfsrepresent
the Republican enrolment. which. as
everyone knows, has shown a gain of
thousands over the Taft vote of 1912.
the Harrisburg Patriot pads the DEM
ocratic and Washington party enroll
ment totals and at the same time sub
tracts from the Republican total.
The Patriots own figures confound
it. The figures as given in the table
of enrollment, which the Patriot says
was taken from the books, do not total
up us the Patriot represents.
For instance, the Patriot gives the
Democratic enrolment as 4,115, while
addition OF its own printed figures on
an adding machine, which was also
checked up, shows only 5000 for the
Democrats In other words, almost a
thousand less enrolled than the Pa
triot claims.
The Republican figures are given by
the Patriot as 6,081, but addition OF
it's own printed figures gives $3.50.
Now, as for the Washington party,
the total of the Patriots own printed
figures is just 100 too high. The
Patriots figures actually total l,5ls,
while it gives the total as 1.418.

Chihuahua, April IAN official
statement given out at rebel military

the rebels occupy Gomez Palacia, Lee
RADIO and some of the outskirts of
Torreon. The federa1s have fortified
themselves in some of the strongest

adds.
A truce was granted, it is under
stood, and the federal commanders Of
fered to turn over the city with all
military stores if the lives of all Of
ficers and men were guaranteed.
1t is also understood that Villa at
first demurred, saying that many OF
the garrison, including General
Orozco, who is said to be in Torreon
were traitors and must be executed.
1t is said another armistice was ar
ranged for to-day, however, when
Villa would probably accept the Of

PLAYING POLITICS
(. At THE EXPENSE Of

Mayor Royal, Head Of Sinking
Fund Commission, Has Taken
No Steps to Issue Bonds
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS, TOO
.Copelin's Absence Blamed Delay
May Hold Back Work Until
Midsummer
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS, TOO

Mayor John x. Royal is head Of the
Sinking Fund Commission of the city,
but appears to have been SO busy play
ing politics in the City Council that he
has overlooked the important duty OF
arranging for an issue Of bonds to
cover the public work authorized by
the people last November.
Notwithstanding the fact that tho
ordinance was passed on January 27
and became effective February 6,
practically two. months ago, not O.
single step has been taken to raise
money to cover the items of the loan
measure save the usual item in the
annual budget for the sinking fund
on the loan. These improvement
items are as follows:
For sewers, 100000.
For bridges. $4,000.
For isle Of safety and public, COM
fort station in Market Square. $4,000.
For modern apparatus for fire de-
partment, s25,000.
For a municipal paving repair plant,
$25.000.
For parks and Fairgrounds, 800, 600.
1t will require several weeks to pre-
pare the bonds and dispose of them
so that the work authorized by tho
people can be started. Meanwhile the
hundreds of idle men who should have
been given employment on the con-
struction of sewers. the building of
bridges and the other work embraced
in the last'loan proposition must wait
until the officials who have been asleep
at the switch shall have performed
their duty. 1t has been intimated
that City Treasurer Copelin's long
absence in the South is responsible for
the tie-up of this work. but a majority
of the Sinking Fund Commission were
here, and Mayor Royal Is Being se-
vefely censured In municipal circles
for failure to attend to his duty III the
premises. 4a
Those who are familiar with his
weekly controversies with his Repub-
1ican colleagues in the City Council
declare that his mind has been SO
filed with political moves that he has
entirely overlooked the welfare of tho
community.
Demands Immediate Attention
Aside from all the other items in
the loan measure, that providing for
necessary sewers demands immediate
attention, and any delay in this public
work must be attributed to the failure
of the Sinking Fund Commission to
provide the necessary funds as should
have been done weeks ago. With
scores and hundreds of men seeking
employment there is certain to be %
