shoulders. Il will not-until you
promise. / shall keep it-and you
can go back; and if he asks for it
you can tell him that he can

I was absolutely reckless. It
seemed to me at the moment that
if Andy would come and ask for
the brooch we could settle the
thing there, as men had settled
such affairs since they first fought
for woman.
My father would never have
done it as 1 did. But my Uncle
Jerry would have done it. My de-
fiance is a debt I owe to Uncle
Jerry. For i am sure that it saved
her-the recklessness Of it, and the
feeling that I meant what I said.
"But if I give it back" she tenn

time-and next? I told you

Jerry. And he's always hanging

The words seem light, as 7 write
them, but she was in dead earnest,
and I heard myself saying, as if
someone else were speaking:
'There will not be a next time.

I told her in a rush of eloquence

she was saying: ooh, would it be
like that, Jerry?"
And I was saying: cit would

words to tell you all that it would

She made me no promise, ex-
cept that she would give the
brooch back to Andy. 'T don't

She could not, she told me, when
the first flush Of exaltation had
passed, think Of marrying me.

CITIZENS TO ASK
SCHOOL, TAX CUT
IN MONTGOMERY
Federation Delegates
To Hear Pleas

BETHESDA, Md, Sept. 10.
Three items Of major Importance
to Montgomery County residents.
completion of the proposed school
program, installation Of a new
plan of taxation and change to a
charter form of government, will
face delegates to the Civic FEEDER
alton when they assemble here
tonight for the first meeting since
summer adjournment.
Failing to get the Board Of
County Commissioners to take a
definite stand on additional school
facilities at a cost Of 724,O0o, it
was learned today the school COM
mittee, headed by Vernon H. Brew
ster, will present an emergency
resolution to the federation call
ing for an immediate start on the
school program.
URGES BOND SALE
WASHINGTON I. Cleveland, presi-
dent of the federation and also
of the Kensington Chamber OF
Commerce, appeared before the
commissioner at Rockville last
week to reiterate his plan for i'm
mediate sale Of the bonds neceS-
sary to raise funds for conStruc.
ton Of more schools. The COM
missioners declined to take any
stand saying that they had not
been requested by the Board Of
Education to provide the funds to
carry out the proposed program.
The tax differentiation pro-
posal was presented to the fedora
ton by DR.. M. G. Lloyd, Of Chevy
Chase, Md, some time ago, and
has been the topic Of considerable
discussion. It is believed that Of
fetal action will be taken tonight.
SEEK TAX REDUCTION
Prime objective is to have the
county place lower tax rate on
improvements and on personal
property than is levied on unim-
proved land. The originator Of
the measure contends this plan
would encourage persons to i'm.
prove their vacant property and
discourage holding for speculation
purposes.
The other proposal to change
from the present to a charter
form of government while posi-
bly, in a slightly different form,
was placed before the civic fedora.
ton as early as 1884 by Charles
S. Moore.
During a session last week the
Community League Of Takoma
Park, Md, endorsed heartily a
charter proposal and will place a
resolution to that effect before the
federation urging it to take a def
mite stand.
CHARTER is SOUGHT
It has been pointed out, under
the constitution Of Maryland, any
county can adopt a charter form
Of government upon a request
from at least 20 per cent of the
registered voters Of the county de-
string the change.
In his original resolution, Mr..
Moore urged a change from the
present So-called rural community
government, to one designed for
a thickly populated area. The char
ter form as adopted by the Ia
koma Park group, while possibly
not exactly what Mr.. Moore had
in mind, would be step in the
right direction, supporters say.

TOWNS OLD RESERVOIR TO
BE REFINED WITH GUNITE
Will Be AS Serviceable AS New
One When Repairs Are Made

At special meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council last evening it was
decided to repair the present reser-
voir at cost of $4,000. The work is
to be done by the Cement Gun COM
pany, of Allentown, Pa, the same
company that is now erecting the
auxiliary reservoir.
The contract calls for refining the
present reservoir on the inside with
gunite material, two inches in thick
ness, on walls and bottom; adding
two inches of gunite on the outside
with wire mesh, the dome to be con-
structed eXectly like the one on the
new reservoir.
C. ]. Mentally, chief engineer for
the company, stated he expected to
to have the auxiliary reservoir COM
pleted by October 80, when they
would start filling it with water. The
work on the old reservoir would be
started shortly after that date. Both
reservoirs will have capacities of
100000 gallons each, when completed.

OPERATORS SLOW TO FILE
LICENSE REPRESENTATION
TwO-thirds of Time Allotted Has
Passed; Third Have Applied

Two-thirds of the time allotted by
the Legislature for filing applications
for re-registration of all motor vehi-
Gle operators has passed and over two
thirds of the number of people re-
CURED to re-register have failed to do
so, it was announced yesterday by
Harry S. Bullen, supervisor, of Bal
timore.
According to Senate Bill, Chapter
II, of the special session, General
Assembly of 1887, all motor vehicle
operators are required to re-register,
providing they secured their original
operators license prior to January 1,
1887.
On and after January 1, 1888, all
licenses issued prior to January l,
1887, shall be null and void.
Statistics show that there are ap-
proximately 100000 operators in
Maryland who must re-register. To
date only 159,375 applications have
been received, leaving 29O,625 who
have yet to make application.
"Unless the motor vehicle operators
of Maryland send in their applications
immediately" Mr.. Bullen said, at will
be a physical impossibility for the Of
flee to handle the balance yet to be re-
registered by December 81, 1887; and
if the application is not in the mail
by midnight December 81, 1887, the
applicant will have to take new test
and be re-examined, the cost of which
will be $3.50 instead of the $1.0O fee
which is the cost of re-registering I'M
der this act"
Application blanks may be obtained
at various garages throughout the
State.

action. Not so, however, with her little
boy and girl.
Billy grabbed garden hose and ran
to the front porch of the building
where there is spiggot. While he
was making the connection, Martha
grabbed the nozzle and in just a very
few seconds there was stream of
water, even if a small one, playing
upon the flames. The children sue
ceeded in putting out the fire around
the lower part of the mantle, but by
this time the fire had communicated
with the back of a mirror above the
mantle and was mounting up the
walls of the room to the ceiling where
the hose would not reach from the
floor.
"Here, mother, take this hose up
the steps and reach the fire from
there" and by this time ''mother" re-
allied what was going on and went
into action, doing what she had been
ordered to do by the youthful cap
tain of the fire-fighting squad of two.
By the time Oakland's two fire
trucks had arrived at the hotel the fire
was practically out. And it wasn't
long until Billy and Martha were play
ing at some other game.
