CHAPTER XIII.
ELIAS Feelings Change.


0F this dramatic struggle Eliza
Appleton had watched every
~ phase with ~intensest interest,
but when at last she knew that
the battle vas won she experienced a
peculiar revulsion Of feeling. So long
as O'Neil had been working against
odds, with the prospect of ruin and
failure forever imminent, she had felt
an almost painful sympathy, but now
that he had conquered she felt timid
about congratulating him. He was no
longer to be pitied and helped. He had
attained his goal and the fame he long
ed for. His success would inevitably
take him out Of her life. She was very
sorry that he needed her no longer.
She did not watch the last bridge
member swung, but went to her room
and tried to face the future. Spring
was here; her book was finished; there
was the need to take up her life again.
She was surprised when Murray
came to find her.
II missed you. Eliza" he said. THE
others are all down al the river bank.

She saw. with a jealous twinge. that
exultation over his victory had over
come his WEAKNESS. that his face was
alight with a fire she had never before
seen. He seemed young. vigorous and
masterful once more.

From the morning of May II until
midnight of the 10th the ironworkers
chung to their tasks. They dropped
their tools and ran to their meals; they
gulped their food and fed back to
their posts. The weaker ones gave Out
and staggered away. cursed and taunt-
ed by their companions. They were
rough fellows and in their deep throat
ed profanity was a prayer.
At midnight of the 10th the last riv-
ct was driven, but the ice had gained
to such an extent that the lower chord
vas buckled down stream about eight
inches, and the distance was growing
steadily. Quickly the traveller was
gifted to the false work beyond the
pier. and the men under Mellen'S direc-
ton fell to splitting out the blocking.
AS the supports were chopped away
the mass began to crush the last few
wedges: there was a great swapping
and rending OF wood, and some one.
strained to the breaking point. shouted
Look out, There she goes"
A cry OF terror arose. The men fed.
trampling one another in their panic.
But Mellen charged them ike d wild
man, firing curses and orders at them
until they rallied. The remaining sup
ports were removed; the 1900 tons of
metal settled into place and rested Sc
curely on its foundations.
O'Neil was the last man ashore. AS
he walked the completed span from
pier 3 the barricade of piling beneath
him was bending and tearing, but he
issued no orders to remove it, for the
river was doing that. In the general
haste pile drivers, hOists, boilers and
various odds and ends of machinery
and material had been left where they
stood. They were being inundated
now. Many Of them were all but sub
merged. There was no possibility Of
saving them at present, for the men
were half dead from exhaustion.
AS he lurched up the muddy, uneven
street to his quarters Murray felt his
fatigue like a heavy burden, for he
had been sixty hours without sleep.
He saw Slater and Appleton and the
TeSI VI his DOyS, he SAW Ndtdlic dllu
Eliza. but he was too tired to speak to
them or to grasp what they said. He
heard the wOrkmen cheering Mellen
and Parker and himself. 1t was very
foolish. he thought, to cheer, since the
river had SO nearly triumphed and the
final test was yet to come.
He fell upon his bed clothed as he
was. An hour later the false work
beneath span 3 collapsed.
Although the bridge was not yet fin
ished, the most critical point Of its
construction had been passed. for the
fourth and final portion would be built
over shallow water, and no great diff
culties were to be expected ever
though the ice went out before the
work was finished, But Murray had
made his promise and his boast to
complete the structure within a stated
time, and be was determined to live
up to the very letter Of his agreement
with the trust. AS to the result Of the
breakup he had no fear whatever.
For once nature aided him. She
seemed to smile as if in approval of
his steadfastness. The movement Of
the channel ice became irregular. spas
modic, but it remained firm until the
last span had been put in place.

1. J. LINDLEY GREEN, announce my candidacy for election to the Of- flee of City Attorney at the coming City Election.
 l was City Attorney for the Town of Seward during the year ending in April, 1915. While City Attorney l gave written opinions on all import ant legal questions involving the rights of the city. l gave a written opinion in regard to every important feature of all proposed franchises stating the legal effect of every point involved in such proposed franchise These written opinions were filed with the Municiual Clerk and became pub lie documents open to the inspection of the public, thereby enabling both the Council and the Public to know where they were.
 During my term the question of electric lights for our Public Schools became an acute issue, and the lights were furnished, and flood of light streamed forth from our Public Schools and across the placid waters of Resurrection Bay, prOclaiming to the world that Seward possessed an institution of learning. These lights were furnished at a reasonable rate.
 This year our public schools are shrouded in darkness through the short dark days of winter l say, "Let there be light"
 stand squarely on my record made while in the office of City Attorney. I am an independent candidate.

WOODEN CARS ARE PASSING
Will Have Been Replaced by Steel
Coaches on All Principal Railroads
In Ten Years, II 10 Believed.

Disappearance of wooden cars from
the principal railroads of the coun-
try within a period of ten years is
considered probable. This prediction
is based upon the figures embodied
in q report prepared for the informa-
ton of congress, in which it is stated
that nearly one-fourth of the 61,72S
passenger cars at present in use are
of all-steel construction.
At the beginning of the year there
were 1926 all-steel coaches in serv-
ice, and of the 1904 new cars under
construction only three were of wood,
while in 1909 in the United States
there were only 629 cars of steel. The
gain in steel has thus been very rapid,
and the encouraging feature of the
situation is the voluntary acceptance
of fireproof material by the transporta-
ton managers.
The cost of replacing the wooden
equipment in use with steel is heavy
not less than $685., 900 900, according
to estimates presented to the inter
state commerce commission-and as
so large an amount cannot be expend-
ed in one year, the assumption that
the expenditure will be distributed
over a period of ten years seems to
be within the bounds of probability.
Perhaps the time may be shortened
by intelligent cooperation between
the federal and state authorities and
the railroads.-Providenc Journal.

WHY NOT COMMUNITY MUsIc7
Offers Fine Possibilities for WeIdlna
Nei0hborhoods Tooether-vaIue
Not Seen In America.

Now the possibilities in music to
weld together socially disorganized
communities have never been fully
realized in America. Were we to set
about using it directly to that end we
should find out how valuable It is
in breaking down artificial barriers.
BY choral singing people in any one
locality can be brought into q certain
sympathy with each other. Groups
who attend the same church, the IA
theirs and mothers of children whom
the settlements reach-wherever there
is q "neighborhood" there is q chance
for singing. It needs only q person
who believes in 1t and who will rigid
ly select only the best music. And
where neighborhood groups have been
singing the same fine music, any great
gathering Of people would find every
body ready to take part in choral sing
ing. This would make community
music a reality, and would doubtless
SO foster the love of the art as even
tually to affect the whole musical stu
alton. Anyone who has ever had per-
sonal experience of bringing fine
music to those who cannot afford to
attend concerts knows that such peo-
pie are as keen for the best as are
those who can afford it. There is no
one SO quick to appreciate the best
as the person who lives apart from all
these social usages of ours which con-
stitute our silk-spun cocoons.

ON THE GREGoRIAN CALENDAR
Why There Was Confusion About the
Date Of Shakespeare's Death
Papal Edict Resisted.

In connection with the interesting
coincidence in date between the death
of Shakespeare and that of Cervantes.
am under the impression that in the
year 1916 Spain was using the Gregg
rian calendar, while England still held
to the Julian. Will you tell me If this
is correct, and whether 1t affects the
coincidence between the two dates?
Yes. to both Of your questions. The
following brief resume will explain the
deply: Pope Gregory's alteration Of
the Julian calendar by the deduction
OF ten days was ordained in the year
1882. and was Immediately and exact
ly followed out by Spain, Portugal and
parts Of Italy. and very soon in France
and the Low countries. But most of
the Protestant states resisted the
papal edict for more than a century.
In 1885 bill was brought before the
British parliament, proposing to adopt
the Gregorian calendar, but it does not
appear to have passed beyond its Sec
ond reading in the house of lords. 1t
was not until 1851, after nearly two
centuries OF confusion and inconveni-
ence, that England and Ireland adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar. AS for
Cervantes and Shakespeare, Cervan-
ties died April %. 1916; Shakespeare
also died April %, 1916. but it was by
the so-called "old style" that the lat
ter date was counted. BY the new
style" or Gregorian calendar, the death
of Shakespeare would have occurred
