CHAPTER v.

Tinker's Reach, as most people know,
is very popular summer resort on the
Atlantic seacoast. 1t possesses the adj
vantages both of the ocean and the
country. There are beautiful drives in
it's vicinity variegated by mountain
peaks, ponds almost large enough to be
classed as lakes, and extensive woods
where one-or more readily two
NAV be lost with ease.
On the other hand, the harbor is
adapted to all sorts of craft, from the
two hundred ton yacht TO the bark
canoe; and for those who prefer look
ing at the waves to riding over them
there are superb rocks to sit upon and
Chamber over, which abound In eyrles
for the retiring and caves for the
curious. Altogether it is delightful
place.
Ittakes it's name, not as might be sup
posed from one of the aborgines, but
from a small variety OF mackerel
known to fishermen as thinkers, " which
used to be Seined off the main headlane
in large quantities. Originally a primi-
tive settlement, fashionable, had dotted
the shore with large hotels and snowy
villas, which at this period were less
numerous than at present.
Soon after my arrival / received a
note from Mr.. Dale announcing that he
would be able to get away from the city
by the end of the week. The receipt OF
this missive thrilled me with JOY, but L
felt that proper sentiments obliged me
to tell my Aunt Helen. 1t would scarce
" be honorable to carry on an AFFAIR OF
which she disapproved while enjoying
her hospitality and under her protec-
ton. Besides, was not without hopes
of winning her over to my side. She
had ALWAYS been the one to whom L had
gone for sympathy, and her desertion
i'm this case made me feel sadly the need
of an alley. So 1 said to her one even
ing:

Aunt Helen shifted uneasily in her
chair. 'I don't know what your father
would say to that. He disapproves OF
YOUR intimacy with Mr.. Dale"
81 know it, Aunt Helen. He is pre1u-
diced against him"
MIR. Dale is certainly very con-
slant young man." she replied.
Ny heart gave a bound. Her remarks
before had been rather in the form OF
criticisms than regular objections. l
laid down my work with the resolve to
throw myself on her mercy.
"Aunt Helen, why it that all OF you
are so opposed to Mr.. Dale?"
Opposed! Well, dear, should hard
ly call it that" said my aunt. "Your
father has an idea, believe, that Mr..
Dale is merceuary in his views. What
foundation for it he may have do not
know. As for myself, 1 cannot say l
am opposed, for l scarcely know the
young man"
MY father is unjust" 1 said with
tears in my eyes.

would own himself that it was merely
an impression; but it is only right that
he should watch over your interests
carefully.

"He is noble and high-minded. No

my presence" l cried fercely.
My aunt smoothed out the lap of her
dress refiectively. "You are quite JUS

LEADERs-THE NATIONAL GUARD REVIEW.
The fire which destroyed the Mace refrigerator fac
tory on Thursday showed how defenceeSs property
owners will be against fire in some parts Of the north
ern wards until bser facilities for obtaining water are
supplied by the city authorities. The slxinch pipe
which supplied all the water which could be used
laid many years ago when the district had few in
habltants and commerce the Harlem River was
insignificant. The city authorities. especially Mayor
Grant, opposed the laying OF additional pipes in
many parts of the upper wards which are now in
sufficiently supplied. Tie objection sometimes made
is that streets not legally opened, but in many
other where sufficient political influence be
brought to bear streets which have not been acquired
by the city and not on any proposed plan Of the
streets have been supplied with water. The incon-
sistent and obstructive action Of the city officials has
been again and again criticised by the citizens but
thus far there has been little relief The fremen

in subdung the flames, which burned over two or
three OF ground aud destroyed property valued a
several hundred dollars. Some c; tile spectators at
the fire thought that the engines and trucks were
manned by an insufficient number of fremen and that
those who were present did not act promptly enough
In endeavoring to remove lumber which furnished
means of communicating tho flames to other parts Of
the burned buildings. The fire was not eXtngushed
until almost everything enough for the flames 20

Mayor Grant had before him last week another
batch Of Adermanc resolutions providing for public
improvements beyond the Harlem River and, Of course
sent to the Board the usual number Of vetoes. They
accompanied by reasons some OF which hinly
disguised the Mayors weLknown aversion TO the i'm
provement Of the outlying districts One resolution,
f0 instance, was for placing gas pipes along portion
Of the Albany Post Road, from Dash's Lane TO River
dale Lane. The reason assigned for the veto that
the city has not taken title 10 the street. Among the
things which the Mayor did not state were that the
portion of the street referred to connects two streets
both OF which have been supplied for many years
with gas though tho city has no title to them
that the work provided for is Of no expense
to the city, except the small amount neces-
sary TO maintain few street lamps; that The

"When we found the imprint of the

The exact outlines, with even
the veins in the petals of
