 They were in the garden.
 Mary twisted white cLain around her neck.
 eIt's utterly absurd, Harbert-I can't marry you.'
 "Abusurd. Nothing was ever more sensible in the world. Why not2" ipsisted the young man. If you're always going to take that attitude, we can't get anywhere at all. Can't you see that?'
 To Argue the Question Mary smiled, and the youth-tak. ing her gently by the arm-seated her peremptorily in a chair. and pulled up another where he could sit to face her.
 What's the matter with you, Mary? Here I've beer hanging around on the outside of the world

The son of a poor woman, he leads any thing hut m enyinbie existence. but citizenship md what it means mas begun to stir i'm his soul. One day seeing n corner stone being laid and hearing the attendant euIogy to n citizen, Bob vows he will be great man.

 Bob decides to become an archi- tect. He conceives an idea that he wishes to build q series of gigantic electrical figures above the city which will be magnificent to look upon from the top of Red noun tain. Twini<iing lights. he feels, are not enouEh. He hopes to see only castles, municipal buildings, houses of God, vast nuditoriums, public and sInJG cEctttu AiOh& stto mountains crest-nil of them to be of marble. Their spires and turrets and artistic beauty. he feels, would forever be an inspiration when Bir- mingham citizens lifted their eyes to look upon them. He maps out figures typical of the old south and builds his towns in colonial style.
 One day, coming down the street. he sees the red-haired girl again but again she suddenly escapes him. In seeking her, he accidentally learns to know Annette Kingston, young society girl. who is very much att tracted t0 him, and who asks him to call, which he decides he will not do.

G3FEB From FORD
HAS FIRST PS.ACE
0aIy Comprehensive Plan for Mnsclc
elltnoIo Ntxvr. ef(ynn$ro,f n;d,.s,


0nIy Comprehensive Plan for Hasclc
Shoals. Two "COntract Bids.
Washington. Jan. 7.+-Herry Ford, in
the view Of wax department officials,
occupies tho position Of first import
aiaee among those bidding for lease,
purchase. completion and operation
OF the Muscle Shoals, Ala, nitrate
and power projects.
Secretary Weeks announced today
after q conference with G. G. Tinker,
president OF the Construction Com
pamy Of North America, OF San Fran
cisco who sought an agreement in
which his company would complete
construction work and operate the
plant on a emi-govornment basis,
that the Ford offer was the only COM
prehensive scheme before him for
completion Of the project and manu-
faeture Of fertilizer by private enter
prise.
both the Tinker proposal and that
recently submitted by Frederick %.
Hhgstrum Of Wilmington, N. c.. it was
said, related also entirely to con-
struction work on the dams and other
plants and involved the government i'm
future management or them as well
as in paying for the work to be done.
The virtual placing OF the two offers
in the class <ofs contract. bids rather
than lease and operation proposals
brought Mr. Fords plan again to the
I" forefront Of the transaction and re-
moved In the mindsrof war department
officials whatever idea had existed that
the Thinker aud iEngstrum plans were
or competitive sort as compared to
that of the Detroit mapufacturer.
1T was recalled that when Mr..
Weeks first announced his desire to
dispose Of the Muscle Shoals proper
ties to reputable private interest who
would guarantee to operate them to
the co,intry's advantage he was
prompted principally by the motive Of
making them serviceable to the ma
tion,. guaranteeing their operation
rather than letting them stand dead
stin, and without asking congress for
the millions necessary for govern
n1ent construction and iI,anagement.
Such a desire still exists In tho mind
OF the war secretary, it was said. and
the Ford offer. 1t was added, is the
neaxest thing the government has re-
ceiyed for It's fuifillment, that, how
