Fanny Allows Joe to Walk Half Way Home with Her
After Leavin Crandall
LIE w De WATER.


She's too pretty and too innocent to go
around town alone like this"
Which reflection proved that Joe
Brown did not judge by appearances,
but by what his inner conviction told
him of a woman's character.
The pity he felt for Fanny Hedden on
Christmas night had been in his heart
all the past weeks. This evening it
increased as, carefully keeping a half
block behind her, he saw the girl walk
down West End avenue
He Makes n Discovery.
Once Fanny paused at a cross street
as if to go through to Broadway and
take a car. Then, changing her mind,
hurried on. She felt that she could not
endure sitting in a public conveyance
while her nerves were in this tremulOus
She would let herself into the house
and go to her room. She remembered
gratefully that Mrs. Abbott and the
children were dining out with rela-
tive tonight
Joe Brown had followed her many
blocks when she reached her destina
ton. Lurking in the shadow of flight
of stone steps, he saw Fanny stop at
the servants entrance of a large apart
ment house, then, moment later, the
gate, inscribed Servants opened and
closed, and she was gone. But the man
did not move for several minutes after
she had disappeared At last he drew
a long sigh and took off his hat. He
found himself warm after his walk.

"And that's why she has not told the

And there was something warmer
than pity in the exclamation.

CHAPTER ALNlil-
Fanny Hedden slept little the night
after her encounter with Jim CrandalL
She was too nervous to lie still but
tossed on her narrow bed until dawn.
Then she fell into such a heavy sleep
that she did not open her eyes until
Mrs. Abbott knocked at her door
Fanny she called. What is the
matter? Why aren't you up?"
The girl struggled to a sitting pos
ture and glanced at the clock by her
bed. 1t was 10 minutes of eight, and
eight was the breakfast hour.
"Oh, have oversight she exclaimed,
contritely. I'm sorry, Mrs. Abbott I'll
dress a. quickly as can"
Meanwhile I shall have to prepare
breakfast, her mistress remarked.
As is always the case when one hur-
ries, Fanny's fingers were clumsy and
bngling that morning. Yet in less than
Is minutes she was in the kitchen. Here
she found Mrs. Abbott just pouring the
coffee. She had heated the cereal
cooked the eggs and made a plate of
toast
'Oh, AIrs. Abbott Fanny said again,
Il am so sorry I oversight
Mrs. Abbott glanced at her search
ingly. You must have. been out very
late" she accused. yet when I came
in all was so dark and quiet that I took
it for granted you were in bed-but I
suppose you weren't

state is taking all the risk.
Self assurance has made great men

America to ignore all speed regulations

City Commission Issues First of Explanatory State ments in Regard to What Money From Bond Issue Will Be Spent For

April i2 the people of Birmingham will be asked to pay for the things they now are using.
 That is the keynote of a statement is- sued by the city commission yesterday defining it's position on the proposed sl,250,o0o bond issue to be voted on April 12.
 "The money has been spent states the board of commissioners, "and the people are now using that which it was spent for.
 'The fire department has been motor ized; the schools have been improved streets have been repaired parks and playgrounds have been bought and built; bridges and viaducts have been con- structed.
 Every time the motorized fire depart ment dashes to a fire the people of Bir- mingham are using something they have not paid for.
 Every time they drive over the streets in many of the suburbs which the city has had to repair, they are using some- thing they have not paid for
 Schools Not Paid For
 Every time the children go to school they are using things their fathers have not paid for.
 That's the only question before the voters. These are not things which were bought yesterday or last month. This deficit is made up of expenditures which the commission has made in behalf of the people during four years, ever since it has been in office.
 April 12 will be four years and two days of commission government for Bir- ,f,,orl Ia of,, md fnr ha txvil ba pay day upon which they must decide whether or not they will honor honest debts
 "The money is not for future expend- itures. IL is for debts already incurred at the wishes of the people. The com mission has tried to make this a better town; 1t has tried to make improvements in answer to prayers and petitions from delegations of citizens.
 AS far as the commission has been able to borrow money and act within req son these prayers and petitions for inn
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-03-14

provements in the different communities of the city have been granted.
 Now the contractors have been paid for improving the schools; owners from whom lots were bought to enlarge and make new playgrounds have been paid; for the fire department street repairs, new jail, new bridges, crematories, parks and a hundred and one smaller expendi- lures made for the people, actual money has been paid.
 Pay Day Has Come
 But the money with which they were paid for the commission borrowed from the banks The loans are now due. Through mercy, the banks are granting extensions The limit of the city's credit has been reached. The city owes the banks the money. Pay day has come. What does the voter say?''
 Some of the things to be paid for by the bonds to be voted on by the people April 12, if they are authorized, yester- day were enumerated by the commits sioners.
 The voters will be asked to indorse two bond issues, one for $750,000 for a deficit already accrued, and the other for $500,- 600 for city debts that will fall due before the end of the present fiscal year The total is $1,250OOO.
 The list is not complete. There are other items to be added, such as the city's part in the expense of the big via duct now nearing completion at First avenue and Twenty-seventh street, and similar matters, which will be included in later statement
 The total of the expenses incurred in the list announced today is over sS43, 900, $176,0OO of which is still unpaid
