The length of the proposed conercte sur- facing is two and a half miles. The only action the commission took was to go on record as favoring the project, provided the city’s share of the expense does not exceed $12,000. The improvement woyld extend from Ninth street to Twenty-first Under the tentative plan, in which the city, county and state are jointly behind the improvement, with the ap- proval of the business community through the Association of Commerce, the costs would be apportioned. The state and federal road funds would provide 75 per cent cf the cost. The county and city each would pay ap- proximately 10 per cent, and 5 per cent would be assessed on abutting Property. Burleigh county, like the city, would pay $11,318, approximately. As abutting property owners, the Northern Pacific would pay $5,659. the Soo Line $3,301. Under the federal aid plan the cost to the state would be about $16,985. Assessments on private Properties would not exceed $2,400. Parking Reform Hard Nut The proposed reforms in the park- ing and traffic systems were broached, but the commission laid them over until next Monday evening, so as to have time to study the confusing re- turns of the recent Association of Commerce referendum of the business and professional men of the downtown section. Many of the replies received were not straight-out recommenda- tions. Some favor a time limit on parking, with all sorts of reservations, as “On Saturay onl) hour,” or “Yes, two hours.” One business man studied the pro- posal to place a ban on night parking by going around Sunday morning and counting the parked cars on the blocks in the business section. He then ascer- tained the capacity of the various public garages, and found that they could not have accommodated more than a third of the cars nosed up nst the business street curbs. jusiness men also are making it difficult to find a solution by holding out for special privileges in front of their places of business, their com- bined stipulations almost blocking, in advance, the proposed reform they are asking. Alley Improvements Ordered Several alley improvements were or- dered. One is for placing a storm sewer in the north-south alley back of the Gilman garage, with paving following that, the cost of the sewer to be about $507.50, and of the paving about $1,060.26, Specifications showed that grading, curbing and graveling of Clifford alley in block 17, Riverside addition, will entail an expense of $2,832.50 for water main and $627.50 for grading. ‘The improvements were ordered.

The bond of.R. A. Russell, sidewalk contractor, in the amount of $1,000, w proved, so that he can take on sidewalk construction. The application of property-owners on Twelfth street between Avenues D and E for 200 feet of sidewalk was approved. John Stirling made application for a sidewalk in front of lot 43, block 12, corner of Avenue C ane Ninth street. Starting on Garbage May 15 It was decided to start hauling of garbage Wednesday. However, old tin cans, ashes and rubbish will not be considered garbage, only perishable matter being allowed in the cans, and these must have cover protection. It was decided to abate delinquent taxes on the city’s Hillside Park tract. When bought of F. V. Barnes the city took off half of the delinquency against the land. About $155 remains, which the park board would have to Pay. | Today in Congress (By the Associated Press) TUESDAY Mouse continues tariff debate. Senate winds up consideration of farm relief bill.

The license number reveals that it was a stolen car. He reports to Mr. Judson and learns that Mildred was also wounded slight- ly by a gangster shot. His concern over her leads the elder man to doubt Stephen's love for Pam, and he tells her the man is trying to marry her for money, not love. She taunts him by say- ing that his money had bought two step-mothers for her and dis- posed of the first and that he has no right to keep her from buying her man. Believing she really loves Stephen, the father gives in to her pleading. se & NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLIII Stephen was not in his room. Mr. Judson immediately called the off! and asked to have one of Markeson’s men sent up. Together they went to Stephen's door. Pamela was forbidden to fol- low but she disobeyed instructions a few minutes later and proceeded to- ward the room. A pass key admitted Mr. Judson and the detective and they saw. that Stephen had stopped in the midst of unpacking his belongings when he left the room. A thorough search of the hotel was — but Stephen was not lo- cated. The inquiry at the. switchboard re- vealed that he had made one out- side call on the telephone. Mr. Judson’s face grew thundcrous when the operator told him the num- ber Stephen called was Mildred’s. Had she listened to the conversation? Certainly not. Mr. Judson was unconvinced. The operator and Mildred probably were friends, he reasoned. “Call the number,” he directed, “and say Mr. Judson wishes to speak to Mrs. Lawrence, It was Connie ‘who answered the call. “Can't I talk to Mr. Judson?” she asked. “Mother is with Mildred. I don't like to disturb her.” The operator repeated her words to Mr, Judson. “Very well,” he said impatiently and stepped into @ booth. Connie thought him unnecessari!y sharp when x asked if Stephen Armitage was ere. “No, he isn't,” she said, and was perverse enough to withhold the in- formation that he had been there. She thought Mr. Judson would ask, but he said, “Thank you,” quickly and bung up. se e “Well, if you hadn't been so short Td have told you,” Connie said to herself, trying to placate a troubled conscience. She was remembering the things Mildred had said about Mr. Judson’s kindness to her after her “accident” in the subway. Mildred hadn't explained just how he came to be so interested in her and Connie was eaten up with cur- josity. But Mildred told them Ste- phen was out on bail so they weren't surprised when he telephoned. was told Mildred was sleeping but he went up anyway, thinking she might awaken before he. got there. Connie had greeted him coldly but “Yes, Miss Lawrence wanted to keep it from them,” Mr. Judson said. “I instructed my driver and the plain- clothes man not to reveal anything to the family. How is Miss Law- rence?” sk He looked at Stephen closely as he asked the question, his doubts of Ste- phen’s love for Pamela again made active by Stephen's conduct. “I didn't see her,” Stephen cx- plained. “She was sleeping.” “She's an exceptionally fine girl,” Mr. Judson remarked. “She will make some lucky man a splendid wife.” Stephen nodded. “I understand she's engaged,” he said, thinking of what Connie had said to him. A “regular” with Mildred was the same to Stephen, as a fiance. Mr. Judson was taken completely unawares. He said nothing and Ste- phen started to walk’ away. ‘Pamela is waiting for you up- stall Mr. Judson found voice to say before he got out of hearing. Stephen paused. “Please make my excuses to her,” he said. “I'm all in.” Mr. Judson nodded. “Good night,” Stephen said and went on. Mr. Judson looked after him. “I don’t believe he’s ever been in love with either one of them,” he told himself suddenly. “Pamela’s hooked him and he'll stick because he's the sort to tilt at windmills.” “Your ‘man’ has gone to bed,” he said to Pamela when he joined her in his suite. “And I can’t say that I blame him.” “Where in the world has he -been?” “Calling on Miss Lawrence.” Pamela got up quickly. She didn't want to discuss what she’s just heard until she'd talked with Stephen about it. “Why of course,” she said. “Wasn't that thoughtful of him?” But her father knew when she left the room, that she wasn't so calm reel Stephen's call as she appeared ee & The next day she arose early and breakfasted downstairs at an incon- spicuous table, hoping to sce Stephen, but he was not about. Later she telephoned his room and he told her he was unpacking. “Bother,” she exclaimed ‘ll sent up a valet. Have you had breakfast?” ‘Stephen said yes. “Then get ready and come down to the mezzanine in 15 minutes, We're going for a drive.” Stephen assented and Pamela rushed upstairs to get her hat and a light wrap. “Tell the operator to have my car sent around right away,” she ordered the maid. When she met Stephen on the mez- zanine he was of a different mind about going out with her. “I don't think your father would like it,” he said. Pamela argued. Stephen didn’t want to tell her that he thought it was unsafe for her to leave the hotel in his company, so he simply refused to go. “If you hadn't gone out last night I might think you were afraid,” she said crossly. “Perhaps I am,” Stephen replied. “You're not; you're just sthbborn,” Pamela retorted. ‘Well, I'll ask dad. If he doesn't object you'll go, won't you?” Stephen did not expect her father to consent when he said yes, But Pamela returned after leaving him for a few minutes and told him her father said it was all right if they ‘would be careful. Stephen had no idea that she lied. There was @ plan in her head and she did not mean to let parental dictates ‘stand in the way of carrying it out. xe OK Stephen saw no glory in the beauti- ful day. He ought to have been feel- ing exuberantly happy, tingling with the joy of his freedom; instead he was conscious of a dull depression lying heavily upon him. Pamela's radiant spirits did not en- dure in his blue company. She fell into a gloomy silence before they had gone ten blocks. Time and again she started to say something and checked herself be- fore the first word was out. Stephen was pleased not to talk. That made it easier for Pamela to hold her si- He | lence. Inwardly she was fuming, but she didn't want to spoll what she was going to do by prematurely quarreling with Stephen over his visit to Mil- her heart softened when she saw how | dred. much he was disappointed because he couldn't see Mildred, who was still sleeping. “Tl drop in tomorrow,” he said when Connie was speeding him at the door. “Do,” she drawiled, “but don't hap- | you pine when Mildred’s regular is . He's Stephen wondered, as they drove along, if her father had told her about Huck’s attempt to have him shot. If 80, she was either very brave or very reckless, he thought. “You're not going to the club, are he asked with a touch of mis- : EG He Set 4 ul Hae £ ie Hi ? ae was boiling, as she told Mildred OCOES IT | BOTHER You FoR US TO WATCH YOu WORKING ? mela said brightly.
