raising eyes that held his answer.

But the question which he asked was
one that his lips smothered as he
pressed them against her own.
Back where the poplar threw its
sooty shadow ON the road. two figures
sat close together on the top of
stile, talking happily in whispers. A
girl raised her face. and the moon
shone on the deepness of her eyes. as
her lips curved in trembling smile.

said In low voice. but, If I'd known

Big Elevator To Go Up.
Western Maryland Railway
Needs Provided For Three
Years.

That the Western Maryland Rail
way has it's affairs SO adjusted rs to
provide for all it's financial needs for
the next three years, or until 1918,
is the statement of those directly
concerned in the company. The fact
has been known in New York, where
the chief bankers for the road do
business.
Carl r. Gray, president of the COM
pany, has been in New York for sew
eral days in conference with these
bankers, and it was at these confer
enccs that the arrangements were
made. The result is of far-reaching
ben, fit to the road and perhaps equal
~ SO to Baltimore, where it has its
terminals.
The most important feature OF the
arrangements is said to be the COM
plrtion of the proposed consolidation
of the terminal prop rites. This was
outlined in the letter written by Pres
ident Gray to the bankers some time
ago and which has been published.
Among the Improvements to the
Baltimore terminals, for which money
is Immediately demanded, is the con-
struction of a large grain elevator for
which the city has pressing need
and which has been urged on the
management for some years. Plans
have already been prepared for this
building, and it's estimated cost is
SG5O,OOO. 1t is expected to have
capacity for handling 12,OOO,OOO
bushels of grain annually, with a
dead load capacity of at least $50, 900
bushels.
The advantages that will accrue to
the railroad from the construction OF
| this elevator are many. Present ia
ciltirs at this port have proved mad
ruuate to handle the export business,
and this has retarded the movement
through the port.
Again increased facilities here at
tract more ships to Baltimore for the
export of the grain, and this in turn
means that imports will be stimulat-
ed by receipt of the incoming cargoes
from steamers which will carry out
the grain.
The New York Central lines, which
have IA close traffic alliance with the
Western Maryland, have assured the
latter $ management that the Western
Maryland can count upon securing
one third of the Central's export of
grain traffic if the facilities are pro-
vidcd at Baltimore Of taking care of
it.
In addition plans are under way
for expanding the earning ability of
the Davis Coal and Coke Company
by increasing the output to 3,OOO,OUU
/ tons year, against IL previous nor
NAL output of 1000, 600 tons. 1t is
said that a market can be found for
all the coal the company can produce.
4 contract has been made with the
New Haven Railroad for POO, 900 tons
per annum, and the Bethlehem Steel
Company is now about ready to take
5000 tons day, the maximum call
ed for under its 2O-year contract sign
ed several years ago.
Evidence of the faith of the COM
pany's bankers is evidenced by the
fact that they have already advanced
SIG, 900, 600 on notes and have estab-
lished further banking credit in ia
vor of the company, not only to COW
err the SG5O,OO cost of the new grain
elevator, but of sufficient proportions
to cover any possible contingencies,
including construction and unearned
interest on its bonds, but not interest
on the notes up to 1918.
