"Never mind," he finished brief ly. q was in France. It was beau- tiful there, but this is more peace full. One can-can be at home here.'
 There was, obviously, something too painful for him to speak about. The two walked on in companion able silence.
 T say" he went on after few moments, "I've been wondering If I couldn't persuade you to come up to my place for dinner one night soon. Perhaps your mother = and that young sister of yours. I'd ask q few other people. We could have a sort of picnic. My boy. Kong. is a wizard at fried chicken"
 That would be lovely" Monnie said. Wed like to come"
 Would you really?" There was something very boyish in the way he asked that.
 "Of course.' She could smile at this man, friendly and gracious with him, because she wasn't in love with him. Oh, how stupid was love! It made you stiff and awk- ward and unsure of yourself.
 Splendid. How about Thursday next, then!
 She said Thursday would be fine.
 He would pick them up. About six-thirty. Monnie felt definitely cheered. That was something to look forward to, at any rate. Life had been so dull lately. And mother would love it.
 She ran in, full of her adventure. "Mother! Where are you? Where's everybody?
 Silence greeted her. The kitchen was silent, full of monday sun, dancing on the cups and saucers. The stove was unlighted.
 "Mother!"
 Monnie ran upstairs, catching her foot for the thousandth time on the stairs.
 But there was no one in the shab bby front bedroom with the looped white curtains, so carefully darned. Her mothers bed, inn maculately white, her dreser neat and tidy, all silently testified to the late occupancy of the owner.
 Monnie grew frightened. Per haps mother had become i'll. had fainted in the bathroom! With fast beating heart she turned the knob. But tha. too, was silent, empty.
 It was not like mother to go off without leaving, some word. What on earth could have happened ? With a feeling of nervousness. Monnie put the kettle on to boil, measured tea into the cracked blue adn white pot and sliced some bread for toast. She had to be back at the store within the hour. These preparations begun, she hurried to the phone. She would call Bill at

 "Hellol May l speak to Bill.
 MT Hartnett's voice. rumbling. intimidating, answered. "Bill? Bills not here.'
 Her heart began to race faster. "When will he be back, do you know?"
 The voice sounded sardonic now. Couldn't say, I'm sure."
 Desperately Monnie said, MT Harnett, this is Bills sister - Monica O'Dare. Is anything wrong?"
 There was an instant's pause - long enough for Monnie to hear, separately and distinctly, the hiss ing of the kettle, the ticking of the clock. and he hump-thump-thump of her own unruly heart. Then the man at the other end of the wire said with infinite deliberation: .'Wrong enough, miss. There's been some trouble here and BilIs gone along to the station with Off, ficer Garvan."
 "Trouble?" She almost screamed the word. What sort of trouble 7" { But the wire clicked. The con-
  receiver back on the hook and went back to the kitchen. She stared for an instant at the scanning kettle before reaching to turn off the gas. She detached the toaster, noting dully that the twoAthin slices she had cut were smoldering blackly behind the wires. Then she put on her hat and wandered out into the street, She hadn't the least idea where she was going or what she was to do. Except that Bill was in trouble and her mother, wher-
 ever she was, needed her. The police station. Monnie had never been inside 1t before, in all her life in Belvedere, and her heart quailed now at the prospect of entering its dour portals. She so,,ared her shoulders and marched in.
 There was big, blue-coated man at the oaken desk just inside the door, He lifted an inquiring eye brow at her.
 "Is-is Officer Garvan in?" "No, maam." She knew most of the policemen l in Belvedere by sight but this man was a stranger to her. "I'm Monica O'Dare. Someone = I mean l was told I would find my brother | here" She knew her face was blazing and she could hardly speak above l a whisper.
 "Oh, them!" The man jerked his thumb in the direction of a door | just behind him. You can go in
 there if you want to see the young | feller."
 Somehow her tagging feet car ried her across the room, somehow her fingers turned the knob. She | braced herself for the ordeal. Just
 inside Bill sat, looking dark and angry. Three men were with him, | talking and gesticulating. And
 Monnie's mother, twisting her
 handkerchief.
 At the sight of the latter. Mon nie's own terror took wings. What
 was she here for. if not to bring her mother strength and courage? I Whatever had happened her moth- CT was not to suffer. Monnie made
 her step firm and her voice cheer full.
 whats happened?" she asked | in a clear voice. The biggest man, the one with | the loud voice, turned to stare at
 her. "Matter enough" he an- nounced belligerently. This young | mans under arrest. Who are you?"

And their mother-Monnie had twinges of worry about her, too. She seemed >cheerful as always but her step was slower. She sighed deeply and quietly when she thought no one was about. All the O'Dares seemed to be drifting. What was it all about? Why did other people have good times, bright, happy homes while the young O'Dares must carry this heavy burden?
 At this point in her reflections Monnie always shook herself viz orously. "This is nonsense she would remind herself. Aren't we job and a roof over my head-and job and a rof over my head and and good friends?"
 She was arguing with herself thus one day, hurring home for lunch, when she ran straight into the arms of a tall man.

 His bill to operate Muscle Shoals as the central unit of general power development intended to re- habilitate the entire Tennessee riv- CT valley has passed both houses. It is the first of series of such actions intended to throw the force of government power projects into reconstruction of large areas.
 Business men at the cham Der of commerce convention, including President Henry I. Hartman and Gerard Swope, strongly favor in- dustrial reorganization but hope most of the regulation will be done by self-policing within industries through trade agreements. Many in the government favor throwing as much responsibility as possible on the business men themselves.

All scarlet lips, flashing amber eyes, she stared up at him.
 Quite all right" Charles Eus- tace's deep voice treasured her. "I wasn't on the right side of the road, either."
 They laughed together and Monnie's heart frightened. It was good to laugh with someone. She hadn't for days.
 'Mind if I turn about and go your way?" Eustace wanted to know. "I'm just barging about for exercise"
 How tall he was and, yes how distinguished looking? It was odd she didn't think him better looking than Dan but she didn't. He was nice. Another girl, fancy free, might have found him much more than that but at the moment Monnie's heart was wholly engaged. She was insulated against the charms of every man in the world

 "I've been wondering why ] didn't see you around town," Eus- tace began, suiting his long step to hers.
 Monnie smiled. "I've been here. All this time."
 She could catch the scent of good leather and Virginia tobacco as he opened pouch and stuffed his pipe. She stopped to watch him do it. Funny-she liked man to smoke a pipe. Dan always smoked cigarets. One after the other. Ner- vously. She shook herself. What a fool she was-always marking back to Dan!
 The man glanced down at her shrewdly. You are looking rather pale" he observed. Are they working you too hard?"
 Monnie shook her head. "It's - spring I guess. Maybe I need a change"
 "This is a grand town to see spring in," said Charles Eustace. This time last year"
 He stopped abruptly. Monnie looked up at him innocently to dis cover he was very white. She had a sensation of keen distress.

LINES FROM SALUTE TO THE TREES"
Good Evening.

Many tree is found in the wood And every tree for its is good: Some for the strength of the gnarled root Some for the sweetness of flower or fruit; Some for shelter against the storm. And some to keep the hearthstone warm Some for the roof, and some for the beam, And some for boat to breast the stream: In the wealth of the wood since the world began The trees have offered their gifts to man.

u. S. REJECTS BAY I'M
PROVEMENT PROJECT
The Board However viii Hear Ap.
peals On The Same.

A report unfavorable to the i'm
provement of the Broadkill River,
which is the natural inland water
way from Rehoboth Bay to Delaware
Bay, and the Harbor of Refuge, Del
aware Bay, has been made by the
War Department as authorized by
the resolution of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors of the House of
Representative of the United States.
The adverse conclusion is based
on the grounds that the benefits to
commerce if any would be mainly
local, that the existing commerce is
so small and the prospect of an ade-
quate increase is so uncertain as to
render unjustifiable the large ex-
pense involved in the desired modi-
ncation of the existing projects.
However, all parties interested,
have the privilege of an appeal from
the decision, which can be made to
the Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors. This is a permanent
body which sets in the Munitions
Building, Washington, D. C.

DEFEATED BY MILFORD
Killen Singles In Tenth Inning To
Drive Home Winning Run

On Monday before one of the lar
gest crowds that ever attended q
baseball game in Milford, the local
team, captained by Mickey" Coch-
rane, and seconded by such stellar
stars as Mule" Haas, Goose" Cos
lin, Dietrich and Krause, handed
the strong fredericksburg nine, who
boasted such players as Jimmy"
Foxx, Carroll and "Rube" Walberg
a 80 defeat. Jimmy" Foxx, the ma
jor league home run king, and voted
the most valuable American League
player for 1888, evidently found the
pitching of Krause, Dietrich and
Killen too hot for he failed to get a
hit and only drove one ball out of
the infield in five times at bat.
Killen, the kid who has been set
ting them down all summer in the
local league, pitched the last three
innings for Milford and controlled
himself like a veteran. He also came
through with the needed punch in
the tenth inning to score the run
that sent the proteges of the king
of swat, home defeated.
