SAT- ETY
ASSURED BY
ATKINS

Major Il. E. Atkins, assist
ant Engineer Commissioner, to-
day put at rest fears of
parents whose children attend
the Gordon School, at Thirty
fifth and s Streets, Georgetown,
that the school was endangered
by repair work now being
made on the old Leydecker
tunnel.
The tunnel in question-ten feet
In diameter-is directly under the
school building, but is sunk~sat a
considerable depth. Major Atkins
estimated that the. tunnel, which
connects the Georgetown Reservoir
with the Mcmillan Park Reservoir
~ the water department, Is about
$40 feet underground at the site
af the school.
The Army Corps of Engineers is
n,w sinking two shafts in the
tunnel at Thirty-seventh and r
streets to be used as entrances for
vorkmen who will erect series
of concrete struts or supports TO
sfrengthen the walls which have
been cracking in many places.
The repair job will extend for a
aistance of 1889 feet in the tunnel
and will cost about $4,000.
The tunnel is still in use, but
4he water will be rerouted through
other conduits during the progress
ar the repair work.

CHAPTER TX

When Lescaut finally succeeded in
getting Manon out of the pension he
welcomed the sight of coach and
quickly showed her within its seclu-
sion as Fabien passed by. 1t was a
narrow escape. Besides Manon's pro-
testations and tears were embarras-
sing and he did not want to attract
attention. Also, he had to prepare her
mind for what was to follow and he
could not do it walking along the
street.
"How silly to regret leaving a hovel
like that! Dry your eyes and be ready
to see the beautiful place | am taking
you to. l have come into little money
and am living SO handsomely that
want my little sister to share it with
me-" Lescaut spoke consolingly but he
did not dare explain that the hand
some home he referred to was the
Comte's quarters and the money had
been advanced by the amorous banker
at the promise of Manon's deliverance
into his hands.
When they arrived at the great
Mansion, Manon was so impressed

CHAPTER VIII

During the week of Fabien's earth
born happiness with Manon he had
curtailed personal expenses to the ex-
tent of depriving himself of necessi-
ties so that he could buy a chain for
her locket. He planned that it should
be a first week anniversary present
and felt as rich as a King when the
frail silver necklace was safely stored
away in his pocket.
Eager to delight his adored one
with the surprise, Fabien hurried
home. Had he not been so absorbed
in his own dreams he would have seen
Lescaut helping the fearful Manon in
to a coach before the pension door!
Was it Fate, or what, that made
them pass each other so closely with
out knowing how near they were or
anything of the others need?
Fabien gaily climbed the stairs,
three at time, to their love nest and,
filled with eager happiness, pulled
the door wide and shouted, "Manon,
dear!" No answer. "Come OUT from
your hiding place. have something
for you'll" Still no answer.
The Carbon County news., 1928-02-02

with its splendor that for few mo-
ments she forgot all about her un-
ceremonious farewell from Fabien
Never had she imagined there was SO
much wealth in the world. There
seemed to be a cohort of liveried SER
wants passing here and there through
the great marble halls.
Manon thought that it was FORUM
ate for her brother to have inherited
or acquired so much money. She did
not stop to think just where it came
from or that such sudden affluence
was impossible. Her mind was again
on Fabien and she thought how hap
py they would be in place like this.
Manon was terribly hurt and angry
that Andre was selfish enough not to
include him.
The boudoir that proved to be Man
on's was a dream of loveliness. Tall
mirrors about the walls told her that
she was very out of place, in her crude
wash dress, amid so much elegance.
1t added to her loneliness and sinking
down on the chaise Tongue she buried
her head amid the soft silk pillows
and cried.
1t was here that the Comte found
her when he tiptoed into the room,
impatient to claim his prize without
further delay.
Brought to consciousness of pres
ent surroundings by the Comte's de-
vouring gaze, Manon lifted her head
from the pillows. When she saw who
was there she sat bolt upright with
terror and covered her mouth to keep
from screaming.
"Welcome my pretty little bird, to
the nest have prepared for you,
said the Comte as his hand reached
out and cupped Manon's chin.
Don't" she shuddereds striking his
hand away and springing to her feet
perhaps you like this better,
and the Comte's arm went over Man
on's shoulder, down her back and
around her waist as he stepped closer
With heartrending cry Manor
pulled away and retreated to fa1
corner of the room.
The arrival of Lescaut, attracted
by her screams, only added to her
hysteria. "You have told terrible lies
to me here You are beasts-both of
you! My own brother has tricked me!''
Manon's hands went up to her eyes, to
wipe away the binding tears, and
when she took them away she saw the

OF THREE GAMES

Carbons basketball squad returned
from the first trip fthe season last
Saturday after winning two of the
three games played.
Carbon dropped her first game to
Big Timber on Big Timber's floor in
a fast contest week from yesterday.
Carbon led the first half by a score
of 13 to 18 but the effects of the long
trip began to show and Big Timber
gained on them, winning by a score
of &c to 1S. Toffer was high point man
with 13 points to his credit. Rees was
high man for Big Timber with score
of 10.

What are you doing back here ?"
she asked.
"Oh, Marie, where is Fabien-I
/ have come back to him."
For moment Marie hesitated, then
she replied convincingly, That's
silly thing to do-he told me nothing
on earth could bring him back"
Manon moaned tragically at this
unexpected news.
Don't be silly and cry. He was
glad enough to find that you had
gone," lied Marie.
In all justice to Marie, it is only
right to say that in her ignorance of
love she thought she was doing Man
on favor to help separate her from
Fabien and sure poverty.
Manon was so crushed and heart
broken that she did not even move
as Lescaut came putting up the stairs
She heard him and understood that he
had followed her with the intention of
taking her back.
A wink of understanding and a
smile of glad welcome passed between
Lescaut and Marie.
Come on, dearie-go with the
pretty gentleman" she wheedled,
eager to get mixed up in the affair
and help Lescaut.
Manon's spirit was crushed but not
killed Looking duly at her brother
she said distinctly, 81 will not go
back"
"Do you want to sit here and starve
while you wait for Des GlicuX?" in
quired Lescaut impatiently.
"He wouldn't let me- defended

you're little fool-he will never
show up here again"
Attracted by the voices in the un-
paid attic room, the landlady came
stalking in. $50, you're back! You're
bold ones-you and your young man,
skipping off without paying your
weeks rent. I'll take it now." She held
out her hand, threateningly.
81 do not have it just now--bud
you'll get it tomorrow. Please be pa

that he had his way, he pushed Man
