in her eyes.
SO he seemed to be, but he was one
Of those men who weave a spell like
that of an able actor. He excited
temporary convictions that began to
change as soon as the curtain fell.
He was no reckless villain OF romance.
IL he instigated the robbery Of the
south-bound mail wagon, Of which the
writer OF this little history has no
shadow OF doubt, he was SO careful
about It that no evidence which would

this day.
On account OF the continued illness
Of her mother BIN was unable to re-
sumo her work in the academy. She
rock what sewing she could do at

problems OF each day. But The pay

was natural. in the circumstances,
that Mrs. kelso should like Mr.. Davis
and favor his aims.
Mrs. kels0s health had improved
slowly SO that she was able then To

One evening when Davis sat alone
with her, she told him the story OF
BIN and Harry Needless bit OF
knowledge he was glad to have. Their
talk was interrupted by the return Of

When Mr.. Davis had gone she said
to her mother:

Before she went to bed that night
she wrote long letter to Harry and |
one to Abe Lincoln, thanking him for |

DORCHESTER COUNTY
PUBLIC LIBRARY
VIII be Opened in Cambridge in the
Near Future-Ofdcers Elected AND
Committees Appointed.

After two public meetings in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
and the election of first temporary,
and afterward a permanent Library
Board to perfect the formation of a
Library Association, the opening of
Public Library, in Cambridge. seems
to be an established fact.
The Library Board consists Of the
following:
President, L. Philip Skinner.
Vice-President, Mrs. Betty Lloyd.
Secretary, Miss Nettie Mace.
| Treasurer, Mr.. William H. Hooper.
Ex-Gov. Harrington, Judge W.
Laird Henry, Mayor Earle W. Orem,
James B. Noble, Rev. R. Y. Nichol-
son, Mrs. J. L. Kerr, Mrs. Jas. M.
Robertson, Mrs. James R. Jones, Miss
M. J. Bryan, Miss Nellie c. Carroll
and Mrs. Samuel L. Byrn.
The ladies on this Board were for
merly members Of the Library Com
mittee, of the Cambridge Woman's
Club, and many of them have had ex-
perience in Library work. The Club
| library, of approximately fifteen hum
dred volumes, will be presented to the
new Library Association. Other do
nations will undoubtedly follow. 1t
was thought possible at one time that
a room in the Armory could be used,
but that project failed. So, for the
present, a room in the Club house, of
the Cambridge Woman's Club, will be
fitted with shelves and used rs read
| ing room. The Club House is on High
street, opposite Bay.
The cataloging of the books will be
done by the Field Libraries of the
Maryland Public Library Commission
It is hoped that the library will be
open from three to five days every
week, including morning, afternoon
and evening hours to suit all who wish
to take out books A local librarian
will probably be engaged to conduct
the work after it is established. 1t
is hoped that all arrangements will be
completed by May 1st. Later on it
will be made possible to distribute
books by mail or automobile to outly-
ing districts of the county. We I'M
derstand that in Hagerstown there is
a Library truck fitted with shelves
which distributes books even to re-
mote farms. With the interest and
enthusiasm already shown it seems
reasonable to hope that when the idea
has taken hold in town and county it
will not be long before the Dorches-
ter County Public Library has fine
building of its own in Cambridge with
branches in every election district
The Library Board has held one
meeting since its election and has
named committee on Incorporation,
Finance, Constitution and Bylaws,
House and Books. 1t has been thought
wise to take out papers of Incorpor-
alton that the association may be on q
sound business basis from the first.

An Explanation

Mr.. Editor
would appreciate it very much II
you will publish the following state
ment in regard to the Carnival that
was held in the Armory this week
under the auspices of Company &c"
The Carnival played in the arm
cries at Centreville, Salisbury and
Lrisfeld for the benefit of the local
National Guard Companies and was
sanctioned by the Adjutant General
of the State of Maryland. The OBJ
iect was to raise funds so that the
Company could purchase equipment
such as pool and billiard tables, bowl
ing alleys, etc., which the State can
not furnish at this time on account
Of lack of funds.
Such equipment is essential IT the
morale of a Company is to be main
tanned as it soon becomes very
monotonous simply drilling once a
week. The officers Of the Guard
realizing this, are doing everything
in their power to improve the social
side of the National Guard life.
1, indeed, regret the fact that it
/ became necessary to prohibit the run
ming of these games Of chance and II
1 could possibly have forseen the
trouble this Carnival has caused
! certainly would have requested the
Adjutant General to issue an order
cancelling the contract for the Arm
ory. l was assured that the entire
show was permitted due to the fac
that it had played in these othej
Eastern Shore towns before coming
here and 1 had not heard @ word o.
complaint before they opened in th1!
city.
Hoping this statement will explain
Company"C's" position in this mat
ter beg to remain
Very truly yours,

BAZAAR GIVES
SWAY TO SHOW
Senior Glass OF c. III. s. To Present
Musical Comedy This Year Instead
OF Bazaar As In Former Years.

The Senior class of the Cambridge
High School will upon the twenty
second OF this month, promote and
present @ musical comedy.
In former years it has been the
custom OF the class to hold bazaar
but this year due to the crowded con-
dition prevailing at the school
building, it was deemed advisable to
put a different and newer source Of
revenue before the public. This will
be the first year that they have dis
regarded the old custom and it is to
be hoped that 1t will be backed by
every one as we all know that
bazaars and the such are a thing Of
the past.
There is plenty of talent of note in
this years class and from present in
dications the show promises to sur
pass the shows previously put on for
the benefit of the different branches
o. the school
The same composer and director,
Mrs VIM. N. Andrews, has again con-
scented to give it her best attention.
The plot is deeper than the previous
shows but the cast is ably handling
il, and mastery at that.
