WOULD CONNECT MILFORD
WITH ANNAPOLIS FERRY

A bill now before the Maryland
Legislature is of very vital interest to
the residents of lower Delaware, in
that it would provide a direct short
route to Baltimore and other Western
Maryland points if it is enacted into
the law. The bill provides for the con-
struction of a modern highway from
Denton, Maryland, to a point on the
eastern shore, directly opposite An
napOlis. The proposed highway would
be known as the Eastern Shore Doul-
evard," and would pass through Wye
Mills and other eastern shore towns.
Should the bill become a law the dis
tance from Denton to Baltimore
would be very materially shortened
and the long steamboat journey be
very greatly curtailed. In fact the pro-
posed route would require short
ferry of only about five miles, and the
boats on the new line would leave
from each side every hour instead of
about twice daily as at present.
Delaware is now constructing con-
crete highway from Harrington 10 |
in Maryland And the
Maryland highway commission has
plans drawn for the building of a
from Burrsville to Denton.
When these links are connected up,
should the bill now pending in the
Maryland legislature be enacted into
aw, there would be continuous i'm
'rOved highway from Milford to the 1
erry opposite Annapolis. This would {
liminate the necessity of driving the
ntire length of Delaware before go '
lg over to Baltimore, and would a
rove of untold benefit to persons hay t
lg business interests on the Western a
hOTe of Maryland. t

to find an empty drawing room
on the Express. he went to bed
and slept until the porter awole
him at Tarrytown.
It was his first impulse to rush
direct to Murray Fiji, but he
knew the folly of doing anything
OF the sort. He needed a bath
and . shave and a fortifying din

He concluded that It would be
unwise to telephone, and at 8
o'clock he approached her home,
reasonably calm and quite de-
terHnined to have his own way.
But the house was dark from eel
lar to roof. Every window was
closed although it was a warm
night. He sprang up the steps
and rang the bell He rang again,
ana then kept his finger on the
button for nearly five minutes.
Iron Bars
He descended into the area, but
tie iron bars were new, and i'm.
movable. Moreover, a policeman
was sauntering opposite. He ap-
preached the man in a moment
and asked him If he knew wheth-
er the house had been open earlier
In the evening. Yes, the officer
told him, he had seen one Of the
servants go in about half an hour
ago.
Clavering walked away slowly.
