Through 1t all, Neil remained
 where the body of Madeline had been carried and laid out in her wedding dress. Not once did he stir from the room during the might. Hour after hour he sat or knelt by the bed, peerfng into her face, touching her cold hands, soft ly calling her by name, hoping against hope that it all was a
 dream; that she would awaken. and he would again feel her in his |arms with life blood coursing through her body.
 A physician summoned hurriedly after her collapse said, she died from a heart attack due to some
 emotional hysteria, and issued a death certificate to that effect. But Neil could not believe that she was really dead. It was so sudden, so
 shocking, so cruel-to lose the woman he loved on the night of their wedding.
 It was Silver who came at fugi- tive intervals during the night to urge him to go to his room and rest. Beaumont had disappeared right after the terrible scene at
 the wedding supper. His master, Silver said, was indisposed from the shock. But Neil stayed on until the fury of the storm had abated. and a warm calm settled over the island, It was not until daylight shadows filtered through the iron grilles that he sought his own room and threw himself exhausted across the bed.
 It seemed hours later that he

 be required, since totality lasts only about 90 seconds, but at least one of these Exposures should give 9 good picture If the carenIa is supported on a base which will keep it in a rigid position during each exposure, Tn sun should ap- pear in the middle of the fndr for photographs of the total eclipse. An interesting feature of the to- tai eclipse which may be recorded
 photographically is the corona-the luminous border which appears dur ing totaiity.
 As photographed by most anna teur photographers cameras. the image of the sun will be small, but any satisfactory picture can easily
 be enlarged. The results obtained by amateur 5motion picture protog- raphers wifi of course be enlarged in projection on the screen. Ama- teur movie makers may use a tele-

 the lens at its largest opening.
 Amateurs can obtain one special type of photograph which If suc-

 moon as 1t sweeps along<the earth could be used, if recognizable landmark were included. to deter mine the exact path of the shadow of the moon across the earth, and

he said; was on the basis of 81 per
thousand up to 100000, IS cents per
thousand between $4,000 and $500. 900
and so cents per thousand over $500, 600.
This money will be taken out of the
proceeds of the sale of the bonds, as
allowed by Lac, Mr. Shaw said, if the
bonds are sold Otherwise the fee will
be paid out of the revolving fund of
the county.
The expense of having the legal opin-
ion before the bonds are sold costs the
county nothing in the long run If the
bonds are disposed of, Mr.. Shaw said.
Unless this is done by the county the
banking firms deduct sufficient from
their bid to pay attorneys to do this
work, he stated. The opinion is being
obtained, Mr. Shaw said, so that the
bonds may be printed in advance and
be available for private sale If no bids
are received when again offered pub
licly If sold privately, the bonds must
bring a price not less than SO as re-
quired by law, while the commissioners
may accept a lower bid at public sale if
they see fit.
Refuse Town Constable.
A request from Justice of the Peace
R. E. Lee of Kensington that a special
constable be appointed for that town,
was denied by the board. This action
was taken, Mr.. Shaw said, because Of
the dement's of the fee system under
which constables operate and because
of their possible interference with the
work of the county police force.
While the appointment of special
constable for Kensington might work
out all right" Mr.. Shaw said. 'it would
establish a bad precedent and lead to
applications from other parts of the
county for similar appointments which
might interfere with the work of the
regular county police"
A public hearing will be held at the
Bethesda County Building at pm.
