seeing a picture of a handsome officer

and he doesn't make any vigorous kick
on that. George was riding his bicycle
at a lively clip about dusk and when he
came to the railroad crossing he found
it impossible to stop as the train pulled
up.
The engine hit George with a bang,
sending his wheel high in the air, and
persons in that vicinity expected to see
the little fellow ground to a pulp, but
George took a fast grip on rail of the
pilot and held it, though he was dragged
many feet over the cinders and ties of
the roadbed until the engineer managed
to stop the big machine. The lad was
lifted off and as he limped a little he
said; Gee, l had to hold on, or I'd been

MARYLAND GOVERNOR
TO HEAD NEW COMPANY

BALTIMORE, Aug 27.-Edward G..
Darlington and his business associates,
some OF whom are New Workers, are ne
qotiating for the purchase of the bay
steamers that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company was directed last week by the
Interstate Commerce Commission To
surrender. Mr.. Darlington said that In
case the lines are secured by the inter
ests represented by him, Governor Colds
borough will be asked to be president
of the new company that will be organ
lied
The Governor being an Eastern Shore
man. is especially familiar with condi-
tions in the section between which and
Baltimore some of the steamers ply, and,
in addition to this, he is regarded as a
good business man. Furthermore, Mr..
Darlington believes that the prestige en-
loved by the Governor would be a valu-
able asset to the company if he will con-
sent TO serve as president.
According to the ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission the decision,
in brief. regarding the Chesapeake bay
steamers controlled by the railroad COM
pany is as follows:
The Pennsylvania must give up the
Chester Line. Wicomico River Line, Po-
comoke River Line, Choptank River
Line, Nanticoke River Line, Occohan-
mock River Line. II may retain the
Claiborne Line and the Love Point Line.
Decision regarding these lines was re-
served Potomac River Line, Rappahan-
mock River Line, PatuXent River Line.
Plankatank River Line and the Wash
ington Line.
No figures relative to the price at
which the lines are held are obtainable,
for the reason that it is uncertain which
steamers the Pennsylvania will be re-
quired to dispense with.
