Road Improvement
Work Progressing
Two Sections From Perryville
To Elkton Remain To Be
Paved

One of Maryland's most cordially
disliked roadside hilly, winding
stretch from Perryville to Elkton--
will be replaced by a new concrete
highway not later than Christmas,
according to present plans of the
State Roads Commission.
Only two short links ON this
stretch remain to be paved, and
when these are finished the State
will have comparatively straight,
smooth road all the way from Balti-
more to the Delaware State line.
Although plans call for the new
Philada. road to be dual lane for its
entire distance, the Roads Commits
sion is promising the completion of
only one lane this fall, however.
Parts of the other lane may not be
finished until next spring.
The present status of the road
from the new Susquehanna bridge
to Elkton was described as follows:
From the bridge to Aiken road,
approximately 1.5 miles, both lanes
complete and in use. Road connects
here with old Philada. road.
From Aiken road to Principle,
1.S5 miles, both lanes paved but
road not yet opened to traffic.
From Principle to Foy's Hill, Ia
miles, paving nearly complete.
Stretch from Aiken road to Foy's
Hill slated to be opened in next few
days.
From Foy's Hill to a point 2.22
miles east concrete is now being
laid on the westbound lane and the
contractor is endeavoring to get
both lanes completed this fall.
From this point to the North East
Leslie road, 1882 miles, both lanes
are finished but not yet open to
traffic.
From the North East-Leslie road
to Bacon, 2.48 miles, grading COM
pleted and paving to start within a
Few Gays. ~ s%a
From Bacon to Red Mill, 2.44
miles, both lanes practically COM
pleted. Shoulder work remains to
be done.
At lied Mill two bridges are still
to be built, one over the Elk river
and one over the Pennsylvania Rail-
road tracks. Present bridges can be
used temporarily after the road Ia
opened.
From Red Mill to Elkton, Ia
miles paving practically completed.
Road from Elkton to Delaware line
has been in use for some time.
Mr.. Ballard pointed out that the
opening of the road depends upon
two contracts-that from Foy's Hill
to point 2.22 miles east, and that
from the North East-Leslie road to
Bacon.
The new Philada. road has been
more than four years in the building.
The first important section-from
Baltimore to Aberdeen-was opened
in January, 1888. The Republican
commissioners then in Office named
it the Governor Nice Highway, but
the name was later dropped.
One of the most important links
on the new highway-the new toll
bridge over the Susquehanna at
Havre de Grace-was opened to
traffic at the end of August.

the young tenor who had remained

The sun was low In the sky when
Elaine went down the steps Of the

my name is Roul Hanson" he told
her. Want to eat somewhere?"
His confident manner infuriated
her, but then, realizing she would
probably see good deal of him at
the studio and not wishing to
antagonize any one until she became
better acquainted, Elaine smiled and
shook her head. I'm sorry; I have
to go home. I have some work
to do"
"Oh, don't be silly" he said, an
noyed. "You can eat first and work
afterward." His eyes became shrewd
"Are you afraid Of me?"
The question had a familiar ring
and Elaine recalled that Melvyn had
asked the same thing before he
kissed her in the hospital. But this
time there wasn't going to be any
kissing done!
Il told you I had work to do" she
reminded him, sharply.
"Oh, I know" he said with a

coax-me type. Well, I don't think
I'm in the mood for that tonight.
Be seeing you" He tipped his hat
and walked nonchalantly away.
Elaine watched him go, wondering
with an amused smile whether this
was a signal for her to rush over to
him and plead for forgiveness. When
he turned his head to look back, she
was sure of it. Laughing, she dis
missed the incident from her mind.
There were more important things to
think about.
Elated at the way her interview
with Monticelli had turned out she
walked swiftly down the street, heels
beating a brisk tattoo on the pave
ment. AS she turned into the last
block she was wondering whether 1t
wouldn't be better for her to look for
a position other than the one at the
Blanchard store. Surely she didn't
need that, now that she did not have
to worry about paying for her
lessons. Another thought entered
her mind. If she took the job at the
Blanchard store she would probably
be filling position they didn't need
filled. Clara's father would do any,
thing in the world for his daughter;
perhaps he was giving her the job
simply because Clara had asked him
too.
AS she. walked up the steps she
came to a decision. If her search
for a job proved fruitless she would
then go over to the Blanchard store.
Opening the front door with the key
Jane had given her, she decided to
ask Melvyn's sister her opinion con-
cerning this.

She cleared her throat self-con-

the several selections he wanted her

made her a sensation at the school.

and wasting valuable time. And Il

Jack down Eleventh street she
found that she had good reason te
be thankful, for, after they hao

they came to the house in which
Monticeli had his studio.
Thanking Jack, she ran up the
steep stoop-she wondered if all the
stoops in Greenwich Village were so
steep-and rang the doorbell. After
q short wait the door was flung open
by a squat, swarthy- complexioned
middle-aged man whose face was
undoubtedly the ugliest Elaine had
ever seen.
well? Well?" he snapped, when
she offered no word. What is your
business, young lady?"
Elaine colored, ashamed of her
Tudeness. Are you Mr.. Monticello"
Monticelli Proves Gruff.
"I am the great Monticelli,r he
declared proudly. His fiery eyes
searched her eager face. And you
don't tell me that you want to
sing-too!"
Elaine quailed before the cutting
sarcasm in his voice, and then, star
ing def1antly into his eyes, she drew
her shoulders erect. II do, Mr..
Monticelli. I have letter of intro
duction from Clara Blanchard"
He motioned her into the hallway
and did nos take the letter until
after he had closed the door. Every
one wants to sing" he lamented,
''but always Monticelli gets the
ounces" Smiling to himself, he
opened the envelope and quickly
read the letter.
Clara had given her the letter
sealed, and unaware that her chum
had written that she would pay for
the lessons, Elaine stood shaking
with suspense as the great teacher
read it. Would he or wouldn't he
accept her as pupil? And if he
did consent to teach her, would she
be able to afford the lessons? But
of course she would; she'd find the
money somehow, she decided grimly.
II she didn't there would be no sense
in staying in New York. And she
couldn't 60 back to Lynville-not
sitter the way Eric had Tilted her.
She tried to guess Monticellis
answer as he glanced up from the
letter, but his face was inscrutable.
Without word he motioned for her
to follow him down long, dark hall,
and after a few moments Elaine
found herself in large, sunlit room
