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.

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 On the Level. Florltln Is flic Ibiltest Btntc In the Onion.

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. Applying the .Lesson. My n!ec<j.
