Either Madeline had gone be-
yond the Adams place or the car
had been wrecked and towed
away. In the latter case it did not
seem plausible. that she would not
have been taken to the Adams
house or, that, he would not have
been notified. Although few Of
the neighbors knew his wife per-
sonally, everyone knew her by
sight. ,.. ,"
At the crossroads he stopped
again. 1t would be impossible to
drive the horses and sled through
the growth Of underbrush but if
by chance Madeline had had trou-
bic with the engine and started
on foot for help she might have
missed the way and gone in thai
direction.
A search with the aid of peck
ct flashlight. however, yielded no
results. Bill climbed back into
the seat of the sled and started
for home. There he would tele-
phone to town and ask someone
to send out a searching party.
II wouldn't worry" Miss Per-
kins said. in an effort to comfort
him. "Maybe she decided to go
to town and something held her
up. She'll be hame in a few min
utcs or she'll telephone - you'll

what he was doing, Bill lifted a
pile of mail that lay on the dining
room table.
"That came while you were out
in the barn." the nurse fastened
to explain. 81 forgot to say any
thing about it,"
There were catalogs, circulars

address on the letter was in un-
familiar handwriting. Bill SHOW.

picked up the letter. "Wondel

Then he opened it. The nurse
watching his face, saw it turr
the color Of death. His nostrils
quivered and his mouth grew
taut-a mere, vivid line in his
ashen face.
"Mr. Siddal, what is it? What:

Nothing. Nothing. Pm going

| "Perhaps she tried to-" Miss
Perkins suggested, "and the storm
prevented her from getting the
message through"
"That's right, I'll see whether
II can get Adamses on the phone"
After some little difficulty Bill
succeeded in getting the operator
on the telephone. He discovered,
as he spoke, that he was shaking
and the uneasiness that had hung
over him all the afternoon had de-
veloped into@a definite fear.
Mrs. Adams voice came over
the wire.
as my wife still there?" Bill
asked.
"Who is this?"
"Bill Siddal. Is Mrs. Siddal still
there?"
"Why, no.
"But she's been at your house
today?"
"No. ! didn't expect her"
Like a man ravaged by a long
illness, Bill moved automatical-
ly away from the telephone. Miss
Perkins, who had followed him in
to the hall, gave little cry at the
sight of his stricken face.
Something's hoppened," he
mumbled thickly. "An accident.
She hasn't been there at ALL"
ooh, but just half a mile"
Don't let on to the old man.
Pm going to get the bobsled and
go after her."
1t occurred TO him that his fore
thought in oiling the sled and get

the horses, covering them with
blankets and putting binders over
their eyes, did he doubt Made
lines word. She had said she was
going to the 'Adamses and she had
not arrived there. The only ex-
PLANTATION was that there must
have been an accident. Perhaps
at this moment she was lying in
a gulley at the side of the road,
dead or dying.
A groan tore at Bills throat.
Why had he let her go? He had
seen the storm coming. 1t had al
ready begun when she left. She
wasn't good driver. If she was
dead!
Beads of perspiration formed
on his temples and upper lip and
froze in the icy air. His hands
trembled so that he had difficulty
in grasping the reins.
He ought to have Miss Perkins
get in touch with Doc Freeman sc
that he could be on his way out
to the farm when Bill reached
home with Madeline. No, he would
not take the time to stop and tel
Miss Perkins. Every moment was
precious.
He saw the nurse in the oper
doorway as the sled cut through
the driveway. the great numbering

engine, this force Of water attracted the miller
and manufacturer. Lyons Federal Mill
was on the creek line with r street. and
q little to the northwest was PARROTS Mill,
that old paper mill which stood on the north
line of p street. To the north of LIONS Mill
was Adams Mill, once the property of Jona-
than Shoemaker, when it was known as the
Columbia Mill John Quincy AdoEls bought
the property in 1925. Peirce Mil care next,
above which was Blagden Argyle Mill.
Just above this, on the Crystal Spring tract.
according to Louis P Shoemaker was probably
located the first mill along this stream becousel
of the sudden drop at this point. No par
ticular name is assigned to the mill once here,
but the surrounding area soon became known
as White Mill Seat and patented as such
by English authority in 1855. Mr. Shoemaker
also tells us of the large quantities of corn,
wheat and rye which were hauled by teams
to the Perce and Blagden mills from George
town and ground into flour, and says that at
Peirce's Mill it was daily occurrence to see
from 10 to IL teams and a number of boys
on horseback from the surrounding country
carrying grit" Later this tract was given the
name Peters Mill Seat.
y EMAINING today as reminders of the
N Peirce and Blagden mills and of the early
days of Washington are the old Peirce Mill
west and the Blagden Mill road. changed TO
Blagden avenue. which shoots of from Six
teenth street at Farragut street and runs
southwest into the park. And farther to
the north, still retaining its original name, Is
the Milkhouse Ford road which had its begin
ming at the Rock Greek road and continues
westward probably as far as the Potomac
River intersecting the Rockville road on the
way. 1t is said that some OF the troops in
the War Of 1925 marched over this road
on their way to Bladensburg.
The writer has no personal recollection Of
the old Peirce Mill wheel, though it only ceased
running in 1897 when the mill was being oper-
ated by A. P. White 1t is said to have been
Of the "undershot" type, or where the water
hits the wheel at the bottom instead of flowing
over the top, and, perhaps, for accuracy sake
1t might be well to erect the same type Of
wheel. But the principal thing is to restore
the old mill inside and out just as it used 70
be in ye olden days.

Aid Ricksha Men

AVER in China, officials have given some
thought to one of the great groups of for
gotten men there, the miserable individuals who
pull the rickshas for a few pennies with which
to buy enough rice to keep themselves alive
and no more.
The ricksha business as operated in the past,
was largely business Of rental with the un-
fortunates, who double for beasts of burden
paying such high rentals for their carts that
they had little left even after an arduous day.
A movement is under way in Shanghai 20
change all this. The earnings of the ricksha
owners are to be cut down in the interest of the
men who do the work. The rentals are to be
reduced and the coolies are to receive both
uniforms and shoes to keep them warm and
reduce the discomfort of their work In addi-
ton, free medical care for the men is to be
provided if the present plans go through. No
longer, once the plan is under way, will the
coolie stand around in rags in the heavy rains
waiting for customer. He will, instead, have
q waterproof coat to protect him from the rain.
