when he had watched them appear
on the balcony. 1t was the accus-
toned and imponderable world, aw-
fully unbalanced. Mona would
understand. Mona always under
stood everything. H. wondered
how she had maintained this ter
rife day. He was assured that he
knew. She would have felt just as
he had felt. He thought, with a
most passionate longing for her,
that he would have given anything
to have been able to turn to her
when he had exclaimed. My God,
war" and to have caught her hands
and looked into her beautiful face.
Tomorrow he would send the letter.
Tomorrow? Why, yes, today, like
all todays in the removed and
placid light Of all tomorrow's s,
would be shown needlessly hectic.
Ten to one something would have
happened in the night to make to-
day look foolish.
When he went down into Tidbor-
ough in the morning it was to know
at once that this tomorrow gave no
lie to its precedtn da. 1t intensi-
lie to it's precedent day. 1t intensi-
shadowed war. The new days pre-
scented it.
He went into the office. The aft
ernoon post had brought letters to
his desk. He turned them over
without interest, then caught up
one-from Mona.
Marko, this frightful war; l have
thanked God on my knees for you
that last week you prevented me.
If l had done it with thisi Tony
has rejoined the guards, he was
in the reserve of officers. And you
see that whatever had been, and
is, dear, he's my man to stand by
in this. Marko, it would have been
too awful if l couldn't, and l thank
God for you, again and again and
again.-Ncna.

world awfully unbalanced. Upside

Life, which had been a thing of
events in which there was no time,

Things began one day very short
ly after the declaration of war
when, passing the barracks on his
way home, Sabre was accosted and
taken into the Mess by COttar, a
subaltern of the Pinks.

urged. We've got a hell of a jam

ranks and came running, all rat

accoutrements, to the old woman
beside Sabre, put his arms around
her and cried in a most frightful
voice, Moth! Mother!" And a SER

laughter You are excited. I've

He dropped her hands. He said
rather stupidity, We'll, it's war, you

She turned to her dressing table

Lying awake, he thought of Mona.
He had not written the letter to
her. The appointed day was past
and he had not written. He would
have said. during that unutterable
darkness in which he had awaited
1t. that not the turning of the world
upside down would have prevented
him writing. but the world had
turned upside down. 1t was not a

and came to him. 'Hullo, Sabre.
You've heard now. We've managed
to keep it pretty close, but it's all
over the place now. Yes, we en-
train at daybreak."
Sabre felt frightfully affected. He
could hardly speak.
The blessed gift in the war was
to be without Imagination. The

asphalt paving. No other company bid
on asphalt, submitting prices upon BIZ
luminous concrete instead. Bituminous
concrete is a type Of pavement generally
costing from Is to 20 cents a square yard
less than asphalt pavement, Mr.. Elliott
said.
MEAD COMPANY
SUBMITS BID.
The Mead Construction Company bid
Sc lineal foot Of property frontage $11.50
a lineal foot of half intersections upon
bituminous concrete. The Union As
phalt Construction Company bid S612 a
lineal foot and $11.5o on intersections
for bituminous concrete. The American
Construction Company bid 1912 lineal
foot and S11.50 on intersections for BIZ
luminous concrete.
Thus, the Marion County Construc-
tion Company cut its price lineal foot
of property frontage on oil asphalt 60
90 cents less than the Mead Construc-
ton Company bid on bituminous con-
crete, the cheaper type of pavement, and
S2.95 less on intersections.
The low bid Of the Marion County Cons
struction Company was on oil asphalt.
This kind of asphalt can be bought from
several companies for considerably less
q ton than Trinidad asphalt can be
bought from the Barber Asphalt Com
pany. OIL asphalt is a manufactured
product, while Trinidad is q mined ma,
turaI product taken from a lake of as
phalt which the Barber asphalt Com.
pany controls. Either oil or Trinidad
asphalt meet the specifications of the
board Of public works. The specifications
do not mention any brand Of asphalt. For
a long time they did, but the board Of
works, in the Jewett administration.
changed them TO admit any brand that
would meet the city's tests.
ALSO OFFERS BID
ON TRINIDAD.
The Marion County Construction Com
pany bid on Trinidad as well as oil as
phalt for the Eighteenth street Job and
regardless OF the fact contractors say
Trinidad is the highest priced asphalt,
the Marion County company's price was
S5.45 a li1eal foot of property frontage
and 50 a lineal foot Of alf-intersectiOns,
which still is % cents less than the Mead
Construction COmpGny's bid for prop
erty frontage on bituminOus concrete
and 81 under It's bid on the cheaper ma
terial 4 line2i foot of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
a similar difference IN price between
the Marion County Construction Com
pany and other contractors, is noted in
bids for the permanent improvement OF

Michigan street to Walnut street. The
price a square yard has not been COM

WOMAN HELD
.ONDRUG CHARGE
SENT TO JAIL
Mrs. Meadows, Taken at
Noblesville, Evades Ander-
sons Questions.

Evasiveness in answering questions
put to her by Judge Albert B. Ander-
son of Federal Court, resulted in Char
lotte Mickler Meadows, alias Nellie Chas-
tine. being sent to Jail today instead OF
being released on her recognizance.
The woman was arrested at Mobiles
vile about a month ago when she called
at the express office there for a pack
age containing about $1,000 worth Of
morphine. When given a hearing be-
fore a United States commissioner here
on a charge OF violating the Harrison
narcotic law she was released on bond
of $1,000 signed by Nick ]. Hantzis,
proprietor Of a restaurant in the Lor-
raine Hotel.
At the time of the arrest she told what
seemed TO be a straightforward story that
she had been sent to Noblesville by a man
whom she could identify to obtain the
package. Her bondsman told Judge An
derson he had become afraid she would
run away when she left Indianapolis and
remained away for more than two weeks
without giving him any information as to
her whereabouts, and he decided TO. suf
render her and be released from the bona.
Private detectives finally located her
at 1874 West Eleventh street and she was
brought before Judge Anderson.
Mrs Meadows told the court she had
4-year-old daughter and Judge Anderson
seemed inclined to permit her to go on
her own recOgnizance However. she re-
fused to make direct answers to his ques-
lions as to the identity Of the man who
sent her to NoblesviIle for the morphine.
and eyaded almost every question put to
her, and finally Judge Anderson ordered
her taken to jail and Hantzls released
from the bond.
Federal narcotic officers believe Mrs
Meadows has information IN her posses
sion that win go far toward enabling
the officers to break up the traffic in mar
cotics carried on between this city and
Detroit.

MISSING GIRL
 BELIEVED TO
 HAVE ELOPED

Young, pretty and vivacious Stella Haight, Is years old, of 145 Wayne street, is being sought today by her parents and the police, following her disappearance from home. Saturday night. The girl was last seen at 10 o'clock Saturday night, when she left her home apparently to go on an er- rand. She has not been seen or heard of since and the father of the girl, grief stricken at her disappear- ance, yesterday asked the police to aid him in his search by conducting a secret investigation.
 News of the girls sudden depar- ture leaked out despite the efforts of the family to keep it from the press and when reporters called at the Haigl.t home this morning they were refused information, being told that the family did not care for any pub licity on the matter.
 Man Also Missing.
 It is~reported that one of the girls friends who is alleged to have been showering her with attentions, known as Frank Carlson. also as Frank Far rell, is also missing from his usual haunts. The girls family refused to make a statement concerning his al legged sudden departure, but gossip has it that the pair may have eloped.
 The girl is described as being feet six inches tall, having light brown hair, light blue eyes and of medium build. When last seen she wore a navy blue suit, black velvet hat with large trim mingc, white kid gloves, dark brown fur piece and black ties and stock ingS.
