From San Francisco, where she is

an interested reporter that the best
way to perpetuate the memory of
Shakespeare is to erect a Memorial the

intelligent players. Miss Clifton furth

ing that the theater be endowed, and
that the greatest actors of the day con
tribute their talent for at least one
play each during the season. And
what better compliment could be im

As the recent thorough study of

In "To Have and to Hold" Miss Mur

signified that in event of liis death he

•'Oh, please—please!" said Mary.
"Why—what harm could It do, Mr.
Clyde? We don't know this woman—
and we would never tell on you!"
"And, besides, It might be a warning
to us," said Mona. "I think it's your
fluty to tell us, so that we'll never, by
any chance, make the same mistake
the did!"
"No fear of that!" said Clyde, warm
ly. "Well—if you'll promise not to let
pn that you know anything and never,
by any chance, to breathe to a soul
that I told you—"
"Oh. we will!" said Mary. "Honest
ly, you needn't be afraid—"
"It's a common enough story," said
Clyde, then. "And an ugly one too.
The plain truth of it Is that the poor
lady has a husband she doesn't get
alone any too well with as It le—and
I know enough of the case to be sure
It's his fault."
"Trust a man to take the woman's
side," said Mona. But she didn't say
It nastily; Mona had a good deal more
charity for her sex than some women
who have never had to withstand
temptation can muster.
"Well, be that as It may," said Clyde,
'she was foolish enough, a year or
two ago. to have some correspondence
With another man. It never came to
anything. But there were the letters.
What fools people are to keep lettersl
They get lost—and people won't be
lieve they're harmless—
"Oh!" said Mona, quickly. **She loot
the letters he'd sent her?
"Lost them—or they were stolen
from her. It doesn't so much matter
which. The point is—they've tumeS
lip. In the hands of a man who knows
Ihelr value —or thinks he does. She'd
nave paid any reasonable sum—any
Hum she could nave managed to get to
gether. But she figured on her hus
band's money, not on what she can
tommand herself. He won't believe she
can't get it."
"Oh—and what does he intend to do?"
"Turn them over—some of them—to
her husband. If she doesn't make good
In the time he's given her. She's come
to me, half mad with terror. How lie
could help being sorry for her, or be
lieving she can't get the money, I don't
see! But I've heard things nearly as
bad about him before!"
"What a dreadful thing!" said Mary.
"Is there nothing that can be done to
help her?"
"Not without the very thins she's
most afraid of—publicity! If I tried to
make a move, the first thin* this man
Reynolds would do-would be to expose
her. It's his only weapon—but it's a
terribly strong one. It's kept him out
of the clutches of the law for years.
The police and half the big private de
tective agencies In the country have
done their best to get something on
him—and he defies them."
"It seems incredible!" said Mona,
with shining eyes.
"True enough—but there are the
facts! He's got more money than he
can possibly know what to do w'lth. I
believe the thing's come to be sport for
him—that he takes a vicious, depraved
eort of pleasure in seeing l\is victims
squirm. He has a wonderful piace out
In the suburbs, and—well, I don't know
that this is a thing to repeat before
you young ladles, but his neighbors do
a good deal of talking about the wom
en who are seen there from time to
time.
"Ugh!" said Mona. "What a beast.
He's an old man, vou say?'"
"He must be about sixty," said Clyde.
''As repulsive and vile looking an old
scoundrel as you'd find In a long dav'a
hunt, too!"
"You were right," said Mona. "It's
an ugly story. But I'm glad you told
It to us! Oh. I do hope that poor wom
en finds some way to beat him! How
ftiuch time has she?"
"He said a week—but he'll wive her
hiore than that. He won't strike until
he's quite certain that there's no way
pf getting the money out of her. I
know h's ways."
Back in their own room Mary shud
dered.
"I'm not glad he told us." said sha
"I think It was a dreadful story,
Mona!"
"So do I!" said Mona. "But, Mary
—can't you see? Where could we And
a better person to present our next bill
against society for settlement?"
"Oh—oh! I didn't think!" said Mary.
"But, Mona—a man like that Is no
Tomllnson Gerry! We might very
easily burn our flnarers If we tried to
serve h'm as we did Qerry!"
"Then, we'll serve him very dlffer
fntly," said Mona. "Oh, let me think!
know there's some way or outwit
ting an old villain like that—and
wouldn't f love to do It, Just! I know
one thing, too—the more we know
about him the better our* chance will
be. You heard what Clyde said—the
private detective agencies must all
know about him. We'll get a report
from one."

AGREE ON HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENTS
[Continued From First Page]
provides that tlie Pennsylvania Rail
road company is to fill in a portion
of the bed of tlie old Pennsylvania
canal and is to provide a 35-foot right
of way along ihe river northward to
Clark's Ferry. The retaining wall is
to be placed in tlrst-class condition
and an iron guard rail is to be erected
thereon. The roadway proper is to
be moved from its present location
and is to be 28 feet in width and
the railroad company is to provide
all the grading necessary to do this
and to place a cinder surfacing, prop
erly compacted, along the roadway,
for a width of 20 feet. On the in
side of the road, next to that portion
of the canal bed left unfilled, the rail
road company is to erect a guard rail
in accordance with the State High
way Department standards.
The grade crossing, so long a me
nace, is to be removed and the State
Highway Department and the rail
road company have agreed on the
sharing of the expense thus incur
red. The railroad company is to
do all the necessary excavation and
will use the material taken from this
point as a portion of- the fill along
the canal bed. The expense of the
masonry for the bridge abutments
and the superstructure Is to be di
vided into three parts, one-third to be
assumed by the railroad company as
their share, one-third by the State
Highway Department as its share and
the remaining third part by the rail
road company in exchange for the
15 feet of right of way surrendered
by the State Highway Department In
the relocation of the road. The
highway, as originally laid out, calls
for a 50-foot right of way. The
relocated road, on the east side of
the canal, will have a 35-foot right
of way. The difference of 15 feet
amounts to 2.7 acres in the distance
of road to be relocated and the rail
road company assumes this extra third
of the expense of the under-grade con
struction In exchange for the receipt
of this extra right of way which they
intend to use in retracing their pres
ent railroad.
The conference at which this ten
tative agreement was reached was
held yesterday afternoon. The State
Highway Department was represent
ed by First Deputy state Hlghwav
Commissioner Joseph W. Hunter who
