Inc report was duOpbcu.
Mr.. Roberts in accordance with
previous notice, offered his amendment
to the bylaws decreasing,the salary of
the Superintendent of Public Schools
from $500 to 1880 per annum. He
supported his measure in brief speech
stating that he believed the Superin-
tendent was receiving larger salary
than the people were able to pay.
Mr.. Woslley read a statement show
ing that in other cities of the size Of
Wilmington the Superintendent OF
Public schools received salaries larger
than is paid in Wilmington.
Mr.. Zebley was of the opinion that
plenty of able men would take the po-
sition at $500 per annum. The object
of the Board should be economy, and
to get all work dsne as cheeply as pos
sible, let other cities pay as much as
they please.
Mr.. Heisler referred to the recent
increase of the Treasurer's salary, and
| said the measure under discussion
looked like "robbing Peter to pay
Paul" He opposed the proposed re-
ductlon, and thought the only questi on
should be whether or not the office OF
Superintendent is worth $500 per an
nun. He thought it was and that the
Superintendent well earned his sal

George Reynolds is," one OF the Medbury
gossips told him. "And his wife not
been under the sod year yet They
were old schoOlmates. and knew each
other from childhood and we used to
think it would make match before he
ever married that little helpless city girl,
and | haven't any doubt in my own mind
but Il will make q match now. Gussie
Reynolds is going to have tea party
next week, and that will show which way
tic wind is blowing
Walter Gibbs went to Gussie Reynolds's
tea drinking. He said to his mother he
would not miss it for 4 fortune. Rachel
Mofialt was there. walking now and then
with George Reynolds. and talking with
him ever and anon; but then it was Ra-
chefs hati, TO be kind TO every one who
came in Der way. Late 10 the evening
Walter Gibbs missed her from the parlor.
He looked around foy George Reynolds,
bu, he TOO was gone. The Medbury
gossip was right no thought. This
tea party is showing which way the wind
is blowing He walked to the window
and looked out, deserving Rachel Mof-
ats iluiiering garments down q winding
path. George Reynolds was by her side,
and the way they took was toward the
south. Away OF TO the north the Judas
tree stretched out It's pink branches in the
moonlight. The wind sets very IN
lavorably." Walter Gibbs said. with
sigh
Hall an hour later, George Reynolds
passed Walter Gibbs in the hail. His
brow WAS couded, and lis lips worked
nervously. "He looks ike one on whom
the north wind has blown, Walter Gibbs
thought. and went in pursuit OF Rachel
Moralt
He found her standing in the noon
light, her long shadow reflected from her
figure and the branch of Judas tree she
held in hor hand. lie approached her,
and stood where her shadow to'l.
"Rschel," he said, with all his heart in
his voice, Il would like TO walk in your
shadow hencetorth, if you arc going my
way"
Rachel MoGIa,t looked up with startled
eyes ito The face above her; the pink
flowers with their fatal significance fell
from her hand, and the irregular outlines
of two confused shadows. never hence
forth to be parted, lay upon the greer
sward. In the fros,s of the following
winter The Judas-trec died, and the place
therefore knew it no more.-Hayper 5
