Two and a Bridge
By ANDERSON MILLER
(® 11*1. by McClure Nesepsper Syndic*!.-)
The primal command to Adnra to
earn his bread by the sweat of hla
brow was certainly being applied lit
erally In his own case, thought Robert
Owen gloomily, as he regarded the
moist lump thnt represented whnt lmd
been, n few hours ago, a fresh nnd
spptless handkerchief. The train was
mbvlng leisurely through a district In
western Pennsylvania whore there wan
not u tree, as far ns he could see
through the grimy windows, that was
more than ten feet high.
The sun bent down on the conntry,
and from the gray-green earth re
flected heat waves leaped back, quiv
ering nnd distorting the view. Owen,
though clnd as lightly ns possible, was
literally sweltering.
He thought regretfully of the cool
quiet of the club lounge which he hud
left twenty hours before; the shaded
veranda, the Icy shower lintlis, the In
vigorating chill of the swimming pool.
And he had let Hie chief talk him
Into ranking this trip on the off chance
of getting the contract for putting up
n bridge over Borne- forsaken river or
other In the wilds of tho state, offtlie
main line I
He groaned ns lie thought that lie
would probably be marooned up there
for the better part of n week, Inter
viewing county commissioners nnd
highway experts In little boxltke of
fices tlmt smell of dust and were
abominably hot,
He mopped hlB brow again, mbre
from force of habit than with any ex
pectation of mitigating his discomfort,
and glanced out nf the window at the
station which the train was at that
Improving Indian Pottery.
The Mopl Indians of the Southwest
have always been famous for their pqt-
tery. In the manufacture of which
(though unacquainted with the pot
ter’s wheel) they were skilled even In
prehistoric times.
There is n considerable market for
their pots, which lire quaintly nnd at
tractively decorated In blnck nnd
colors. Tho United Stntos bureau of
standards Is trying to help thorn by
suggesting. Improved processes, nnd re
cently It has shown them how to make'
from cheap material, a .black stain
much superior to'the one- at present
used by the Indians. They have showfl 1 '
them solves glad enough to ucFept the
help offered and It may he thut. we
shall yot learn of useful suggestions
to the Nnvajos In the line of blanket
ranking and tbe production of silver
ornaments.

Flro-Proofing Cotton.
A process lias beon devised for
treating baled cotton with a chemical
compound which fenders It flume and

parently provides an Inch or two of
cotton In condition to nld In rapid
drying without deterioration In case
a hole Is exposed to -iventher. On un
average. 80,000 bales of cotton ure de
stroyed by fire before tbe crop Is mar
keted and most of this loss can be
traced tn tinsb or spark lire. Cotton
stored In sultnble warehouses would
be evidence of a progressive step, for
there Is probably, no crop of so great

thoughtful consideration.—Scientific

"I’m Going Away Tomorrow."
moment languidly lenvlng. "Pldllps-
vllle," snld tho gilt letters. Only two
more stops to Spring Vnlloy—that, nt
least, was a comfort.
1 HC would see the head of the state
^highway department that nfternoon
ntfd try to he comfortable during the
night, nt least. He wondered what
Spring Valley was like. For the twen
tieth time that dtiy he drew the letter
from tho highway department from
his pocket nnd reud It, from the courte
ous opening to the "Yours truly, J.
.'Hnrblsou, Com’r."
■ It was a nice letter and “J.-Haral
son” had a nice signature—that at
least was sombtldng. llnrblson wasn’t
a smoky old fogy—he was sure of
that. * * • "Spring Valley I" roared
the conductor, nnd Owen leaped to hts
fees and hurried from the train, clutch
ing his rolls of blueprints and his
suit mse.
> Spring A’alley was not prepossess
ing to the eye. At the station were
three dilapidated looking vehicles
drawn by somnolent horses and
manned by dusky Jehus who bnbbled
* unceasingly the merits of the hotels
they represented.
Owen took the least objectionable
of these nnd was transported In due
time to the Mnnslou House. His first
opinion of tho Mansion House was
that it wasn’t. The usual languid
bellboy; tlio v usual crawling elevator
tbe usual room with the usual goklen
oak furniture, nnd the usual prospect
of the usual travesty of a meal at
0 o’clock. He inquired the way to’
the state highway commissioner's of
fices and departed.
His Inquiry for Air. Hnrblsou was
greeted with a grin tyy the boy who
took his card, nnd presently be was
shown into a room that belled hts
preconceived Ideas. It was spotlessly
clean and had the air of havlug but
recently been gone over—an air com
splcuonslv lacking In most of the of
fices Owen hod visited In his time. A
girl was seated at a desk, writing
busily. She glnnced up as he entered.
-Mr. Owen?"
! “Yes—to see Mr. Harblson about
that bridge." Harblson had taste In
secretaries, he thought. But her next
words took him. off his feet
“I am Miss Harblson.” the young
lady replied calmly. "Won't you sit
dowqV*.
“T?i®—tbe highway commissioner?”
Owen could only state.
•'Of course!" With a little laugh.
"I was elected lost fall. You want
to see me about the Bell river bridge.
What Is It cxnctly you want?”
Owen recovered from Ills astonish
ment and told her. But there were
many details to go Into, and It wits
half-past five before he knew !ti
"Look here,” said Miss Harblson,
directly. “We have a lot to talk about.
Suppbse you come up to the house
after dinner and we’ll get on with the
work. I live et 18 Cherry street—It's
easy to find. About eight—good after
noon 1”
Owen repaired to 18 Cherry street
nt the time suggested. It was a cool-
looking house with a cool-looking ver
anda and a lot of cool-looking chairs;
and Miss Harblson was there to meet
him In a cool-looking frock; and he
met her mother, who was a nice old
indy, evidently very proud of her
daughter; and for many hours the
two of them set up and .discussed esti
mates and time clauses and bonuses
nnd penalties add snch things; and at
12 o’clock Owen went back to the hotel
tired but at peace with the world. He
was sure thnt he would be able to put
the contract through In fine style; and
he had lost his fear of the confer
ences In the hot, smoky offices. Spring
Volley didn't seem such a bad place
after all.
For the rest of the week he was
very busy putting the final details
into shape, apd he left for New York
on Saturday with the contract In his
pocket, after a very pleasant evening
spent In calling, unofficially, on J. Har-
blson, highway commissioner. His
'chief congratulated him.
“1 suppose you’re glad to be back
front that hole In the-ground,” he said.
“Well—to tell you the truth, chief,
I was hoping you’d let me go up there
agalp. I’d like to see the work start
ed, at least—and I know tlie ground,
ahd—nnd—" he finished lamely.
The chief looked at him for a mo
ment through half-shut eyes, then
laughed. “All right, Bob,” he chuckled.
“You’re the doctor. If you want to go
bnck there and die of the heat, go
ahead. No one else wants the Job.”
So It was that for the next three
months Mr. Robert Owen, "representa
tive :Wf: the Perfection Bridge and Con
struction company, found himself sit
uated at Spring Valley, Spring county,
Pennsylvania, spending as much of his
time ns possible In the company of Miss
Joan Harblson, highway commissioner.
And as the weeks slipped by and thp
construction got well under way,- Air.
Owen found It more nnd more neces
sary to go to number IS Cherry street
for conferences.' • ,
That some of these conferences were
not entirely official in character might
huve been shown by the fact that
pnssersby heard, sometimes, the music
of li guitar, very well played, coming
from,the veranda In the evenings; Mr.
Owen hnd played bn his college man
dolin/ club, it appeared. But as the
work progressed with great rapidity,
there could be no possible ground for
carping on the part of village critics.
One-evening In early September Miss
Joan harblson nnd Mr. Robert Owen
went out to Bell River bridge In Miss
Hnrblson's little runabout to take a
look at their completed work. To
morrow the bridge would be opened
with appropriate ceremonies; the town
council und the mayor would make
speeches, and there would be a band,
nnd generally a good time would be
had by all.
But in the twilight tlie bridge .was
peaceful and quiet us it gracefully
spanned tlie stream; the two on the
bank looked at It fondly and proudly,
Miss Harbisou with a sense of pro
prietorship, for the bridge would be a
monument to her work as highway
commissioner; 'Owen with an air of
rcgurdtng a good piece of work. They
wore silent for a few moments; then
Oweu, stepping from the machine, in
vited his companion to sit beside him
On a grlder.
“Well, it's finished," he said after
a pause.
“Yeq.” AIlss Harblson sighed.
“Wluit’s the matter? Are you sorry
It's over?'
"No—that Is, yes. I mean Tm not
sorry, and still—well, I am.’
Thus the offlcinl, efficient highway
commissioner. The highly Impersonal
and very businesslike Robert Owen
could find nothing to say but “Are

• you?" which did not seem to have any
direct bearing on the subject. More
silence.
"I’m going away tomorrow,” offered
Robert after a time.
"Are you? I’m sorry I",
The words slipped out before M1bs
Harblson realised their Import and a
deep blush overspread her face. But
Robert Owen, regardless of the scan
dalised faces of a couple of country
people who happened to drive by that
way nt that time, Impetuously caught
the efficient Miss Harblson In his arms
nnd said—j» great many things with
which we have no concern whatever.
But they must have been satisfactory,
for Miss Harblson seemed to agree
with every one of them.
The country people drove on. Tlie
twilight deepened. The Bell River
bridge stood contemplative, while the
water beneath it flowed on, as water
has been In the habit of tfblng the
world over. But neither of the two
on the girder minded the water, or
the country people, or the bridge. The
bridge was finished; they had just
begun to live.
