Sally knew that 1t was going
to take a good deal of careful
planning and figuring to get
through the week with the tiny
sum of money that lay folded
tight in the bottom Of her purse,
Seven dollars. Not quite

She went hack to Millie' 9

finishing her ice cream in an
aggrieved silence. She shifted
and looked out OF the window

at him now, Ann wondered why
1t was her heart had plunged
eickeningly downward, why she
had felt with deadly certainty
that Bill loved George and would
always love her.
He was sitting there calmly
enough. facing her across the
table in Rivard's Restaurant, and
there was only the little flicker
of recognition in his eyes that
showed he was conscious of
Georges nearness. No other
sign, no other hint that he was
moved or troubled.
Ann passed her hand across her
eyes. 1t was like an hailucina-
ton, she felt. Why it was only
one more indication OF all Bill
meant to her. She cared so much
that she tortured herself with
thoughts of losing him forever.
But Bill made no comment. He
was. pretending he hadn't seen
George and Ernest Brooks. Ann
stole a covert glance in their d.

The check was paid. they rose
and made their way out. Bill
was walking very straight, he was

of them. The revolving door
purred smoothly. They were out

long breath of relief.

They smiled broadly in the face
of the light that gave their skins
an unnatural greenish hue. But
Ann put her picture back in its

POWER COMPANIES AT WAR
OVER HAVRE DE GRACE

The fight of the Gas and Electric
Company of Baltimore, for the right
to serve Havre de Grace with power
received setback on Saturday
when the Court of Appeals decided
that the Company had no authority
to extend it's lines into that city
without permission of the Public
Service Commission.
The ruling of the Appellate Court
has added further difficulties to the
Gas Co. in it's fight against the
Northern Maryland Power Company
to serve Havre de Grace with cleo
tricity. That city now is being serv-
ed by the two companies. The
Northern Maryland Company is a
subsidiary of the Philadelphia Elec-
tric Company, promoters of the Con-
owingo project.
Claiming right to extend it's
lines anywhere in the State under a
Statewide franchise, granted prior
20 the establishment of the Public
Service Commission, the Gas Com
pany in April constructed lines to
Havre de Grace on the invitation of
the Mayor and City Council of that
city. A law requiring utilities with
Statewide franchise to apply to the
commission for approval in making
such extensions became effective
June l.
The Northern Maryland Company
sought an injunction in the Circuit
Court, Part 2, restraining the Gas
Company from erecting the lines.
Judge Robert F. Stanton ruled that
the Gas Company could extend it's
lines without the permission OF the
commission.

DUCKERS REQUIRED TO HAVE
HUNTERS LICENSE

Ducking licenses for the 1927
hunting season have been received
from A. Lee LeCompte, State Game
Warden, by Clerk of Court Andrews,
with the information that duck hunt
ers will be required to have a hunt
ing license in addition to the sink
box license.
Mr.. LeCompte says he has sent to
the county seats in all $4,000 hunt
ers licenses, 61,750 county, 10,750
Statewide and 1850 for non-resi-
dents. The county licenses will
yield the State 81 each, Statewide
S5 each, and the nonresident SO.
The State Game Warden has dis
tributed $500 licenses to use duck
blinds. This method of trapping
ducks is not permitted in Southern
Maryland and Baltimore county.
On the Susquehanna Flats last year
there were issued by the clerks of
Cecil and Hartford counties 218 Ii
censes to bushwhack and 128 to use

JOINT SACRED CONCERT GIVEN
ChestertOwn And Rising Sun Bands
In Kent County Seat

An enjoyable sacred concert was
given by the Community Fire Com
pany Band of Rising Sun and the
Chestertown Volunteer Fire Com
pany Band in the public square at
Chestertown, on Sunday afternoon,
before a large audience. 1t was the
second in series of Sunday after
noon concerts inaugurated some
weeks ago by the two organizations,
when the Chestertown band came to
Rising Sun for the first event. The
program was directed by Professor
Schlosser, leader of both organiza-

rendered was of high order. The
combined organizations numbered
fifty pieces.
At the conclusion of the concert
the visiting organization was invited
to the Fire Company Hall, where
sandwiches and coffee were served.
Quite a number of our residents ac-
companied the band on the trip,
which proved to be a very enjoyable
one for all.

RAIDS MADE ON WET SPOTS
Prohibition Agents Make Raids And
Arrests

|
After a lull of two days the cam
paign, started last week, to dry uI
the 'wetv spots in Maryland took a
new lease on life when in a dozen
raids Saturday seventeen persons
were arrested on Volstead law
charges.
Octoraro, in Cecil county, was the
scene of twelve arrests by dry agents
who conducted the raids in conjunc-
tion with county officers. At that
place, on warrants sworn out by the
local officials several establishments,
homes and poolromes were visited in
a series of raids that brought two
women and ten men into custody.
The two women arrested said they
were Marie Arrigoni and Esther Mil
Ter. They were charged with the
sale and possession of intoxicants
and will be prosecuted before county
magistrates on the sale counts.
The ten men arrested, all of whom
are charged with sale and possession,
will be prosecuted locally for the
sale.
They were listed by John Quinn,
local dry group head, as Earl Thorpe,
Romani Tragliaberri, Geo. Ginger,
Joe Bowling, Gene Moore, G. Ship
lead, H. X. Meade, Geo. d. Haas,
Andrew Arrigoni and Mariana Rao.
In two other raids in the neigh
borhood where complete distilling
plants were found, the operators fed
at the approach of the raiding party,
the agents reported.
