l thought this all the while l was
dressing and while going over in the
taxi, an extravaganza l felt necessary
under the circumstances.
When l arrived l was allowed to
wait a few minutes in the drawing
room from across the hall. Out of
the stiffness into the familiar old
drawing room where 1 had been so
many times with Dick and his family
swept the great spirit of music voic-
ing a strong mans cry of desolation.
A cold chill seemed to enwrap me,
for it seemed that across the vast,
windy spaces of utter despair 1 was
hearing the wailing quest of a soul
for something it had lost.
There seemed to be no self-abne-
cation in that call for it's own-onIy
bitter rebellion and unceasing pain.
Then into these terrible chords, which
seemed about to break from their
own sense of woe, there crept an I'M
dertone of unthinkable loneliness, a
cry of sorrow too deep for words was
sent out on the ~quivering air and
found lodgment against my aching
eardrums.
"Can it be that this renunciation?"
1 asked myself as the music became
a shivering broken throb like the
pleading of a child heart or the &C
ceptance of a dumb animal.
Poor! Poor human animal, driven
into a corner to die with the sight of
fower-strewn fields and glittering
brooklets just beyond.
"In never have the courage to ask
him to give her up" I thought when
the music stopped abruptly and Chad

Efficiency Grcntcst Need

f a saving of at least 100000 in the cty's
l disbursements for cleaning streets and
collecting and dispoSing of ashes and gar
bage can be effected in five years by letting
a contract for this work, it is well worthy of
the consideration Of the Administrative
Board. a hundred thousand dollars is quite
a good deal of money
But. after all. the real consideration is
larger efficiency i'll the performance OF these
public services. So far as street cleaning is
concerned it has improved materially in the
last year. both in method and result. but
even the most ardent admirer OF the depart
mcnt would hardly be willing to say that it
is incapable Of Improvement. Ash and gar
bage collection leaves yet more TO be desired.
Richmond wants its paved streets kept clean
and ashes and garbage removed regularly
and promptly. For the price it pays il should
attain these boons-but it does not One
reason for the failure is exhibited in the spec
tacle OF two, or i'll many cases three. able
bodied men following one-horse ash cart
through the residence sections Of the city.
This is clear and obvious waste Of tax
payers money If il is made necessary.
the Street Cleaning Department contends by
the failure of the city government to enforce
the existing ordinance regulating the char
actcr and size of ash and garbage receptacles,
or to pass Il better ordinance, then the blame
is with the Mayor or Council rather than with
the department. but in any case il is clear
waste
Other cities meet this situation far more
efficiently and far more economically. House
holders are required 10 use receptaclcs of
convenient size and TO place them. for the
collection Of their contents, in convenient
situation Handling a one-horse ash cart is
a one-man job Small wonder that in Rich
