MARYLAND

The T vn Commissioners of La
Plata, ia announcing the coming elect
ion of Commissioners which will be
held on May 9TH wish to make state
ment which should be of interest to
citizens and Tax Payers OF the Town.
Within the past eighteen months the

issue of 100000 and under the able
and Intelligent management and CO.
operation of The La Plata Water
Supply Commission have installed

well, and supplying the town with an
adequate supply of pure and delicious
water for domestic use and fire pro-
lection.
The work of The La Plata Waite
Supply Commission is about com
pleted and it will shortly be dissolved.
This Commission has labored faith
fully and without compensation has
given the project OF installing the
water system, with which it was in
trusted, the best that was in it, in
time, energy and thought, and by care.
ful selection OF materials and con-
tractors has ACCOMPLISHED its work for
little less than the proceeds from the
bond issue and viii have a small sur
plus to return to the town commission
ers.
The Board of Town Commissioners
has just erected a pump and fire en-
CINE house In the building of this
house the commissioners rejected the
bids submitted by contractors and
and employed day labor under t h e
supervision of competent builder
and by this method saved the town
about 5000 90.
The water system of the town has
been inspected and approved by the
: Fire Underwriters Association and as
soon as the fire engine, which has been
bought by The Town Volunteer Fire
Department, arrives there will be d
substantial reduction in the present
! fire insurance rates.

fully realizes the responsibility of its
duties to the town and its citizens, has
never been the tool o any man o +
collection of men, has administered the
affairs of the town to the utmost of
its ability with fair dealing and econ-
omy in conformity with the limited
funds at its disposal and feels that
this should be an answer to the ig-
norant, unjust and senseless criticism
to which it has been subjected.

and stepped across the threshold. It
was the first time that she had
ever entered Arthur Knights study.
That was what the room really
appeared to be, so comfortbly and
artistically was it furnished. There
was a thick, dark carpet on the
dark stained floor. Walls. half vain
scoted with walnut, were lined with
volumes, and more were stacked
above. Over near the window, the
afternoon light streaming across his
shoulders, sat Arthur Knight before
a desk.
He looked up.
"Oh-MisS Cameroni Won't you
have a chair here?"
He indicated with wave of his
hand the one which was nearest to
him. Judith silently came forward
and took the chair. Then, having
settled herself, the blue eyes met
him, waited intently.
You wanted to see me?" Judith
asked quietly.
why, yes. Yes!"
There were traces of roseate color
rising in Arthur knights cheeks.
He looked away from the girl,
clasped his hands together on his
desk and then looked back at her
again.
Eyes. I wanted to see you" hs
said slowly. 81 wanted to ask you,
Miss Cameron, If you would do me
the honor of taking dinner with
me?"

Then as casually as he came and
left the Office each day, Arthur
Knight took his hat and departed
He did not walk through the outer
Office where Judith and the four
other stenographers were pounding
their typewriters.
Certainly there had been nothing
in that mornings happenings to
arouse in Kathryn Tupper'S breast
a dark, abiding resentment against
Judith Cameron. And just as GER
tainIy that is what had happened
Since Miss Upper, in addition to
her secretarial duties. supervised
the five girls in tn coulter Office, this
was unfortunate for Judith.
There are so many ways a woman
executive can make life miserable
for a girl who works under her di-
rection. Judith, who was not quick
at transcribing shorthand or swift
at tipping, had to bear the brunt OF
this ill-wili.
MISS TUPPER would step into
1V1 the outer office at twenty min
utes after II and say, "Oh, Miss
Cameron, will you copy these pages
for me before you go out to lunch?
It's a rush job" Or perhaps it
would be a message to take to some
other office in the building with
instructions to wait for a reply"
Since Judith's lunch hour was
from 1870 until 1890 and the aft
ernoon's schedule was already filled
with work, such tasks meant that
her lunch time was cut in half and,
often, that when the others filed
out of the office at 5 o'clock Judith
Cameron still was at her desk.
Tim Mulligan was the only one
who sympathized.
once he came over to Judith'S
desk after Miss Upper had de-
parted, leaving fresh tasks, and de-
ivered himself:
Say, that old skirts got a crust
bringing you all the extra work.
Why don't you tell her where to get
off at?"
Judith was resentful herself, but
she couldn't show it to Tim.
Obi don't mind" she said,
thinking down in her heart what a
liar she was.
''Well, you'd ought to mind! Gee,
she picks on you all the time. Per-
son would think these other danes
are just around here for scenery.
Too bad they couldn't help you 3
little!"
Tins little gray eyes were di-
rected in sharp reproof toward Carla
Morrison's desk. Carla, inspecting
her lips with q honeyed smile and
hummed nonchalantly:
81 can't give you anything but
love, Baby"
It was something, of course, to
have even little Tim Milligan cham
pion her cause. But it didn't help
out much. Judith for moment

For two months now she had been
leading this dreary existence. Up
at 7 to make toast, dress and catch
the Q o'clock subway. Hot, stuffy,
nauseating ride, and then the cool
air and tramp to the Hunter build
ing. Ten flights by elevator and
into her office chair by $50. Work,
work, work until o'clock in the
afternoon. Home again. Supper.
Bed time. The whole wearisome
routine to do over again.
OF course there were brief inter
walls which broke the routine. There
were trips to a dingy west side adj
dress occasionally. There was now
and then a dinner with foreign
looking young man who wore mus
tache. There was nothing gay, moth
ing bright and nothing scintillating
in the dull monotony into which this
girl with the glamorous eyes of mys-
terry had permitted herself to be
caught.
Now and then Judith Cameron
wondered. Sometimes she sulked.
Too much of solitary monotony will
do that.
Twenty-four, she told herself, is
no age to be pouting child. Still,

JUDITH was feeling rather "up"
- in tSpirits one November after
noon when Miss Topper opened the
door of the large Office and came
over to the girls desk.
"Darn!" thought Judith to her
self. More night work"
1t might have been better If 1t
had been. Instead, looking like the
avenging angel herself, Miss Kath-
ryn Upper paused long enough to
remark:

arose from her desk, walked over
toward window on the side of the
room where Judith sat and stared
for a moment at the street below.
Then she turned about. saw that
three pairs of eyes were watching
her and moved lazily toward Judith.
Here eyes dropped and she said
quietly, Miss Cameron
Judith looked up.
Eyes, What is it?"
Was Carla Morrison's smile mock
cry or friendliness?
Il saw you last night"
1t happened so very quickly! Each
of the girls watching saw the change
and yet each doubted her own eye
sight. They saw Judith Cameron
the poised, the unapproachable, go
suddenly white as marble, saw her
tremble as though struck by blow,
and clutch at her desk. The next
moment color was flowing back into
the girls cheeks, her voice was at
least half-steady and she was say
ing:
You saw me?"
'Why, yes. I'm sure it was youl
You were getting on a bus in front
Of the library. Guess you must
have been reading last night"
"Yes," Judith's voice answered
huskily. eyes. I did read last
night"
A quiet came over the room. Quiet
which lasted nearly ten minutes,
until Judith, holding a handkerchief
to her face as though about to
sneeze, arose and left the room.
Buzzing set in at once!
did you see that?" gasped
Adelaide. did you SEE It'll Why,

But, girls" Carla held the floor
"GirlS, I didn't see her! I only
wanted to know what she'd say to
me. Don't you see that proves it?
Don't you know how guilty con-
sciences act? That girls got some
thing on her chest, believe mel"
The four girls lowered together.
Their voices we're quieter now. The
sound of footsteps came from the
hall, and when Judith was again in
the room all of them were deep in
their afternoon tasks.
THE rest Of that day Judith
l. Cameron was a trif1e paier
than usual and she was absolutely
silent.
Silence was one Of the girls dis
tinctive qualities. 1t IS true that
there were certain facts about
which she had made up her mind
not to speak and which no one-not
ever Arthur Knight himself-could
have dragged from her. But aside
from these matters, in normal
e eryday life Judith was a quiet
girl.
She had way of sitting for long
moments at time without speak
ing and yet without giving any sign
that there was constraint in the air.
Judith knew the precept Of the
French philosopher: Speech was
invented for the concealment of
thought" She approved of it.
Two persons knew the true story
of Judith Cameron's private life.
There was, she assured herself, not
the slightest likelihood that either
would ever reach the Office of Hun
ter Brothers.
