THE UNTOLD STORY
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 NN NCE upon a time there was a fa- K nous novelist with a turn for
 the dramatic-perhaps it was Charles Reade. perhaps De Maupassant; the name escapes us. A friend one day scoffed at him and all other novelists of crime and adventure, saying that there were never any murders that were dra- matic except in the circumstances of their commission; that romance never clung about crime, except as passion is in itself romantic. Therefore, he argued all fiction of crime was untrue to life The novelist was at last convinced, and when his friend had gone ne sat down and began a novel more unreal, more dramatic, than any he had ever written before. For, said he, what is the use of trying to be realistic about crime when all stories of crime are untrue and when crime itself is dramatic only in it's commission and it's revelation of passion?
 The story he wrote was of two boy and girl lovers in a rural community; one the son of the most prominent poli-
 
 ter of the local editor (For, said the novelist, we must always place our char acters high, though in real life it is not so) The girls parents objected to their intimacy because of secret they knew in the boys ancestry. and they believed in heredity. (The novelist put in this dramatic motive, improbab ble as he knew it to be, for he was now resolved to make TO concession to realism.) The intimacy continued secretly, though the girls parents moved their domicile to keep her out of the boys way, and at last the two were secretly engaged.
 The young people trusted each other of human nature, too far, and the time came when reputation could be saved only by a nasty marriage. It was per- formed, and then the girl had the hard task of telling her parents. When it came to the point. frightened and almost hysterical, her courage failed her, and she told not them but the family phy- sician: and in her agitation her wits forsoolx her and she told him, not the and that there need be no scandal, but only the disgraceful secret. Her shattered state was such that she could not even ms Ike the doctor understand the boy s name.
 He reported what she mad told him to the father, but not the fact that the boy had made the only reparation in his

URGE GOVERNOR TO
VETO A ROAD BILL
Taxpayers Of Thirteenth Mont
gomery District Protest.
ASSEMBLY TO RE-CONVENE.
session Fast Drawing To Close. and
MANY Measures on The Files for
Consideration.

A delegation of about twenty-five
taxpayers Of the Thirtt enth district
of Montgomery county appeared be-
fore Governor Goldsborough in the
executive Offices today aud urged him
to veto the bill that has passed both
houses of the Legislature and is now
be fore him, and which provides for A
bond issue for the construction of a
certain road in that district.
Ii was claimed, among other things,
that the whole county should bear q
share of the expense, instead Of plac-
ing the burden entirely upon the resi-
dents of the district in question. 1t
was also urged that the roadway will
benefit only two or three interests,
including realty develc pment COM
piny, church and a school house.
One of the delegation also stated that
here are only two horses owned along
the route of the proposed roadway.
Although the Governor stated that
it is not his policy to interfere in any
local legislation, he said he would
give the matter further considera-
ton. The protestants included repre-
sentative taxpayers of Takoma Park,
Woodside and other sections.
Both houses of the Legislature
will reconvene at o'clock this even
ing, pursuant to the weekend adjourn
ment of Friday. Although the ses-
sion is now rapidly drawing to a
close, there being but three more
weeks of it, most Of the important
Legislative matters are yet to be die
posed of. The fight on the oyster
question has consumed much of the
time of both houses. and it Is under
stood that another plan of battle is
being mapped out when the bills
come up for their final reading.
Not many bills have been passed
by both houses, and an idea Of the
mount of business still remaining on
the files may be gained from the fact
that over roo bills have been intro
duced in the House, while the num-
Der offered in the Senate is pushing
the 600 mark.
Most of the local bills introduced
by Senator Watkins snd the members
Of the Anne Arundel delegation have
made satisfactory progress ip the re-
spective houses. Much local interest
is manifested in what the Ways and
Means Committee of the House will
do with the bin fathered by Mr..
DuvaIl, and which provides for the
erection of State Office building
and grouping all State Offices iu
annapolis.
The committee is expected to make
a report on tht measure this week,
and from what can be learned il is
expected the report will be favor
able. Should the report be untavor-
able then the matter will be threshed
out on the floor Of the House, as Mr..
Duvsll, il is said, will move to sub
stitute the bill for the unfavorable re-
port.
