and Helen was delighted with the angelic
sweetness Of her new sisters character.
The three made tour Of the most
famous OF the northern summer resorts,
aud in the early autumn came to Viz
GINA
Mary was delighted With the country
and people Sutherlyn had always liked
the land where he had found bride,
and of course Helen loved her old
home, where she had spent so many
happydsys. so when Mary and Helen
suggested tho plan 10 buy Beechwood
from Mrs. Pierson Sutherlyn regarded 1t
with favor and preached the subject to
her at once.
But Mrs Pierson would not listen to
IL, even though he assured her that II
was his and Helen's dearest wish to have
her live with them. She begged them
TO live with her while she lived, but de-
clared that she could not sell the Old
home that Val had loved so well and
where his ashes were buried. so for
time it seemed as if nothing would come
Of the negotiations, as Sutherlyn did
not feel at liberty TO accept her offer OF a
home unless she would allow HIM to re-
munerate her in some way.
Finally compromise was reached by
his placing to her credit in a Richmond
bank, O sum equal 10 the value OF the
place. proceeding which did not at oil
please Mrs. Pierson, but Sutherlyn was
/ firm.
Thus q happy circle, consisting OF
Mrs. Pierson. Sutherlyn and his wife,
and Mary. was established at old Beech
wood. The estate had become heavily
! involved through unsuccessful specua-
ton on the part Of Mrs. Persons hus-
band, and from lack Of funds Val had
seen things on the farm go very much TO
track, to use the negroes expression.
But Sutherlyns ample means and
Yankee thrift soon restored the old farm
TO its pristine state of beauty and pros
perity. And, by the way. he did not
/ forget Hal, who is to-day the ma!or-domo
of the establishment at Beechwood.
Sacredly did Sutherlyn keep the
promise made to Val, and when Mrs.
| Pierson died. not many years ago, her
last words were q farewell and q blessing

One autumn evening not long after
their residence had been established at
! Beochwood. when Sutherlyn had Wake
out across the lawn with Helen to where
Val lies beneath the old beeches and

gentle tones, and ere he had finished

she was weeping softly.

The prayer was answered.

CONCLUSION.

AONA
There is but little more for me to re-
latc-an assertion which / ain afraid
will cause the patient reader 10 hcaye a
long sigh of relief.
at Mrs. Persons earnest request Colo
mel Sutherlyn remained several days at
Beechwood. he had never known a
mothers love, and no was deeply touched
by her gently aaectionate manner to-
wards him. aud often tod her that his
promise to Val would be of easy fulfill
ment
When he went over TO Meadowdene
Geoffrey and General McGayock himself
had invited him. On the morning after
his arrival there I've was closeted for an
hour with General McGayock in the
library.
OF course the reader knows the sub
lect OF the conversation between them
i;utheriyn's marriage with Helen. He
brought letters OF Introduction from
several prominent men Of the North
whom General McGavock had known in
anto- bellum days to assure the father of
his social standing.
The old gentleman had for some time
hal a suspicion Of the tender feeling
which Helen and Sutherlyn had for each
other, and it had made him very uncom-
Portable. He was very bitter III his feel
inos towards the northern people, and
tue thought OF his daughter marrying
an ex-Federal soldier was extremely dis
tasteful to him. But Sutberlyn's con-
duct towards Val and his manner since
he had met him had very fayorabiy inn
pressed him. The letters which he
brought had assured him OF his social
position, but stronger than this was the
certainty that his daughter loved this
man who was pleading his cause 30 elo-
quently.
After bitter struggle with his pre-
JUDGES the old soldier yields, and Suth-
erlyn was happy.
Geodrey had learned 10 like his pros
pectiye brother-in-law very much during
his short acquaintance with him, and de-
clared to Helen that "he was so we'll
pleased with him that he was determined
10 marry Yankee girl, even down
east school marin rather than miss.
Sutherlyn would hear of no delay OF
the wedding, and as there were no valid
reasons for any they were quietly mar
ried few days after in the drawing
room at Meadowdene, and the pair left
for the northern home OF the groom.
Mary Sutherlyn received her brothers
bride IN the most anectonate manner.

The Water ENtortiOn.

1t seems that the water ordinance was
changed some time back and now reads /;
"For each dwelling house, So and for
each additional faucet over one (hot
and cold-water faucets counted as One),
Sl.50; private water-closet, 50 each al

which he has up to this time. nOtEith-
standing the aforesaid change, been
charged 81 so per annum but on the
LIST Of September he is presented with
bill-frst Of SS.8S, afterwards Of SS.30-
for one quarters rent, simply because
there are eight other people residing on
the lot besides bis own famiy-tLus re-
curing him to pay $3.50 per annum
for tue same quantity Of water formerly
furnished for sll.5J. II is claimed by
the Water Office people that each family
on the premises must be charged for,
and the bill for al be charged against
the principal tenant, although 10 such
provision can 10 pointed ont III the ordl-
nance, aud A IS told that be viii have
70 pay it or the water will be turned of
SO he has no recourse bat 20 pay or change
his rcSidlnce. The same ordnance only
charges 81 u year for a family residing
over store, thus making an unjust dis
elimination between different classes OF
our citizens
This writer land sufferer would like
to know by what authority the city can
charge one man Tor what another man
gets. Ii the city can make one man
pay for another mans water because
both reside on the same premises, why
cannot it also charge the principal tenant
the other mans personal-property taxes
due the city ?
The cities Of New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington, l am IN
formed, charge the water rent to the
owner OF the premises, according to the
assessed value thereof, and 1t works well.
Here, as am informed, the rate hereto
fore charged pays all expenses, and. L
believe, brings in a small surplus. That
being the case, where is the justification
for marrying the people by an increased
charge because man has to sub-let to
reduce bis expenses and make both ends
meet9 WATER ought to be as PREF AS
AIR. But if the city riH make charge,
then let it put water-meter in each
house, aud charge according TO the num-
Der OF gallons consumed each month.
At all events tho Committee on Water
should be Just enough to rescind the in
structions 10 the Superintendent and let
him collect rs heretofore until uniform
and equitable ordinance can be framed.

A System That VIII Prevent the Dishonest

A System That Will Prevent the Dishonest
From Getting More Thnn Their Share.
GFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
JoHNsTowN, June 11.-Shoes and bedding
are needed badly all through the valley. The
work of registration of the number to be fed
will be finished tomorrow morning. 1t is be-
lieved that the number will not fall short of
5000, the original estimate. General Hastings
and his assistants are carefully perfecting their
plans. Each family is being supplied with
card, good for a week, on which is given the
number in the family to be fed and the post
commissary where they will be supplied. A
days rations will be issued at time, and the
ticket punched. If the family fail to get sup.
plies on certain day they cannot have that
day punched out afterward. The time Of the
ticket is limited.
The plan is such that no deceptions whatever
can be practiced, and no Implications are DOS
sible. One man in C0nemaugh, 1t Is reported
on good authority, boasted that he had secured
clothes enough to last him for five years. 1t is
these unscrupulous persons that bring re-
proach on respectable people. Many of the
better people in town are too proud to ask for
help and unless they are constantly watched
they suner unnecessarily. 1t must be said for
the majority of the sufferers that they are not
hogs. and the dishonest ones are not to be
counted with them.
Captain Kuhn said this morning that the
contributions made have all been received SO
far as known. 1t is impossible to notify people
of their reception, but they arrive all right,
and are properly distributed. The Captain has
a record of 180 cases that are numbered but
he soys there are great number of cars re-
ceived without any bills of lading or manifests,
In the future an effort will be made to keep
cars contain everything from working supplies
down to food and clothing. ISRAEL.

A BOY WHO WILL WIN,
Joe Dixon, n 15-Year-Old Johnstown Mer-
chant, Starts Anew in Trade.

Joe Dixon, n 15-Year-Ol Johnstown Mer.
chant, Starts Anew in Trade.
Joe Dixon 15year old boy in Johnstown,
started in business a year and half ago selling
papers. BY pluck and industry he succeeded in
monopolizing the business, and succeeded so
well that by means of S4OO accumulated capi-
tai and good credit, he two months ago opened
a confectionery on Cinder street. His gains
were small but he was persistent and had
built thriving trade when the flood came and
wiped out not only his store but drowned his
father, and his mother was so bruised in the
drift that she is yet unable to turn in bed.
Joe came down to this city to see what he
could do in the way of resumption. He fell in
with Mr., ]. G. Siebeneck, who took him to
Messrs. Chas E. Speer and Cashier Scully, of
ceipt of a draft of S32l 40, donation made by
the pupils of the High School of La Porte. Ind.
The draft was sent by Hall, Weaver q Co.,
bankers. and Superintendent of Schools Hail
man said it was 20 be applied to the relief of
really meritorious cases.
Messrs. Speer and Scully could conceive of
no better way of disposing of the money than
by giving it to sturdy little Joe Dixon, and
Mr.. Siebeneck was made trustee and
Joe started out to lay in a new
stock. Joe stated that Mr.. Fulton,
of the cambria Iron Works, was friend of his
and he, Joe, had no fear that he wouldn't make
the rifle. He says he must, as his father is
drowned, and he is needed to help pull the
family through. In addition to his mother and
brothers and sisters. he includes his aunt, Miss
Lizzie Lambert, and his grandmother, Mrs.
Ann Lambert.
Joe isn't crying about spilled milk. His pic
ture was taken. and copies will be sent to the
sympathetic children of La Porte who con-
tributed the capital,
