DOWneY People Kick.

Several residents of Downey have
called at the HERALD Office lately to COM
plain that no repairs have been made to
roads and bridges since the late flood.
They think that out of the high taxes
they pay they should receive some ben
eft. Downey is one of the chief produc-
ing sections of the county. One Downey
taxpayer complains at the extravagant
management of the county poor farm at
that place. He says the able bodied va
grants there live without working, while
the tax-paying farmers have to toll from
morning to night to support their fami-
lies. He adds that supplies of coal and
wood are constantly received at the poor
farm all ready for use, while the farmers
in the vicinity rarely can afford coal, and
have to cut and prepare their own wood
for use. He suggests that the county
had better put it's paupers at work in
these hard times, and save little money
to keep the roads and bridges in order.

CITY PRINTING.
The Highest Hid Accepted by the
Council.

The Highest Bid Accepted by the
Council.
As the months roll by and the bills for
the city printing are presented, it be-
comes more evident that the Council
and the finance committee awarded the
contract to the highest bidder. This
fact was explained to the finance COM
mittee before it made its recommends
ton, and to the Council when the matter
of awarding the contract came before it.
The bill paid for January work was
1852 % higher than it would have been
had the lowest bid been accepted. Up
to that time the total loss to the city was
$l68 "a. Yesterday another bill for
printing done in February was presented
for $236 Is. If the lowest bid had been
accepted the bill would have been but
$l97 OF, and the total loss to date to the
city is $207.S2.

Improved Horses.

Of late years there have been vast
strides of improvement in the breeding of
horses in this country, which are unques-
tionably due to the fact that horsemen
generally have begun to realize the ad-
visibility of introducing new strains by
importing foreign bred stations. The
extent to which the traffic in foreign
horses is being carried on at present may
be gathered from the fact that during the
year 1889 there were brought over from
England to this country 535 pedigreed
Clydesdale stations alone. AS this num-
Der exceeds the total export of these val
liable horses from England TO all other
foreign countries by thirty, it will be seen
at glance that the demand for better
class of horses is greater in the United
States today than in any other country
on the globe.

Orange County Takes water.

The Supervisors of Orange county
ente. ed into an agreement with those of
Los Angeles that each county should
bear half the expenses of the commission
appointed to assess the property of the
two counties, SO as to see how much one
owes the other. Then the Orange county
people thought the commission was run
ming up debts at too rapid rate, and the
supervisors made an order not to abide
by the contract. After due consideration,
however, this order was rescinded, and
Orange county sensibly concluded to pay
her just share of the common expenses.

He felt that something must be done. A
little more of this occult violence and
Edna might break hopelessly down. He
was her knight, self constituted. to be sure,
but with the fond hope that some time he
might receive from those soft brown eyes
the sign that he was not an ungrateful de-
fender.
His course was quickly decided on. He
walked behind the hateful form of the
ed around sharply and, as if by accident,
struck the man in the back so heavily that
he turned in wrath and surprise.
''Oh, beg your pardon, DR.. Leopard"
he said, with stress upon the name.
He darted glance at him as he said this
that sufficiently conveyed his feeling 1t
was to be war to the knife.
DR.. Leopard looked at him in return
with deadly hate.
You are mistaken, sir" he said holly,
without moments hesitation. my name
is not Leopard"
Henshall felt that his ruse had succeeded
in what he chiefly intended. He had broken
the fatal current which streamed from DR..
Watson's eyes, and which was slowly but
surely unnerving the fair girl who strug-
gled so bravely against the malign infu-
ence.
He stepped close to his ear and Kissed into
it: eff yoa do not withdraw at once and
cease prosecuting that innocent girl will
bring one that will prove you are DR..
Leopard and thief and a villain. Co.,

merriment as she recalled the incident.
Then she replied provokingly:

ter your goodness in supplying me with

Henshall, showing little irritation. 81

''Ohl how good the fire feels" said Miss
Brown. as she rolled over on the soft Per-
sian rug and presented her left shoulder to
the open CRATE.
She lay with her elbows on the floor, her
chin in her hands and her feet crossed.
purring like some regenerated cat as she
toasted herself bright scarlet.
"Ohl how good it feels" she repeated,
gazing into the glowing Goals through the
iron bars of the CRATE and recrossing her
neatly slippered feet. 1.-THE best fire that

ton. There's history in the burning Goals,
and there must be inspiration, only
haven't brains enough to perceive it.
"The present lies in the white heat.
There's that Doctor of Devils grinning at
me; there's poor little Edna; there's the
crazy painter, and leaning against the
brick is Mr. Crawford, scarcely able to sup
port himself.

Not a sound was made nor syllable ut

He did not care to go to his club, he had
no reason to go home and he had told Miss
Hartman not to expect him until Satur-
day. When the guard yelled Fourteenth
street" he suddenly determined to leave
the train and take table d'hote dinner at
one of the Italian restaurants in that por-
ton of the city.
After his meal he enjoyed good cigar,
and then started to walk leisurely over to-
ward Union square, along the north side
of Fourteenth street. Before he had taken
many steps his artistic eye was attracted
by the well rounded figure of a girl just
ahead of him, who carried a leather music
roll in her hand There was something
familiar in her appearance, and he quick
ened his pace to get a better look at her.
The next moment he knew that she was
the ideal with whom his brain had been
filed since he first caught a glimpse of her
In the Wagner car.
His first impulse was to lift his hat and
address her, but he restrained himself,
knowing that she would undoubtedly re-
sent his impertinence.
He resolved to find out where she went,
however, and permitted her to get several
feet in advance, but not very far, as he
feared to lose sight of her in the crowd
that was hurrying along the thoroughfare
toward the places of amusement.
As the girl reached the corner of Irving
place she came suddenly face to face with
a man in whom Henshan recognized the
younger of the two men who had beer
travelling with her on the New York Cen.
tral railroad. She looked down and tried
to pass him

pectedly, Miss Crawford" sarcastically re
marked the doctor, OBTAINING her with his
hand.
Let me go; / have nothing to say t.
you," she exclaimed, looking up at hin
appealingly and shrinking from his grasp
For moment Henshall stood irresolute
He saw that the girl wished to escape from
the man, who seemed determined not t.
let her go; but he could not tell what thei
relations had been or how his interference,
would be taken.
Again he heard her plead to be let alone
and she turned her eyes toward him as i
to appeal for help. He saw that great
dewy tears were stealing out upon her Ion,
eyelashes, and he hesitated no longer.
What do you mean, sir, by insulting al
unprotected LADY," he cried, jumping for
ward and giving the doctor a shove witt
such violence as to nearly throw him owe
the iron fence around the Academy @
Music. He pushed forward in front of tn
girl, who Immediately left, and he shool
his fist in the face of her astonished az
quaintance.
