whom no man would venture any free

far more frankly than he would dare to
speak, if she were more conventional.
He had noticed thao she did not look
annoyed just now when he called her
"Flossy."

hurriedly, selfish hounds. I call them,

when he looked into her passionate
eyes, that, though Flossy Barden would
be perfect as mistress, she would be
less perfect as wife; mad impulse
seized him to take her in his arms and
tell her so. While he hesitated, the

Louis Hartopp stayed away two days;
on the third he received a note from
Flossy saying that her mother had
stroke of paralysis, and that recovery
was doubtful. In the interval he had
made arrangements To return to Lon
don; he foreSaw that their last walk
would have strained the relations be-
tween them, but he felt grieved to
leave Flossy in this trouble. He wrote
her few lines of warm sympathy,
limited at his approaching departure.
and said he hoped to call before he left
Liverpool.
He called; Mrs. Barden was much
better, but be did not see her when he
rose to go. Flossy flung herself into
his arms, and implored him not To for
get her. He kissed her and held her to
his hort When he was out of the
house .e did not feel at all clear as to
what he had said; he felt, however,
sure he had not asked her to be his wife,
but he determined that he must never
see her again, if he wished to keep free
of an engagement.

SITES FOR PARKS.

\ umbc offered, Most of Which We're
Not Considered suitable.
The mayor, aldermen and Park Com
missioner L. w. King Tuesday inspect
cd all the proposed sites for city parks
and spent a hot, wearisone day.
Visiting both tracts of land offered by
S. w. Barbee, 100 acres in section J2,
township u north, range 3 east, and 100
acres in section 2G, township 20 north,
range 3 east, they decided that the land
was unsuitable for park purposes.
II. p. Rolfe's offer of one or two blocks
between Fourth and Fifth avenues
South in Black Eagle Falls addition was
not favorably looked upon, for various
reasons.
The TOWNSHIP company's offer is fair
and advantageous in every way was the
sense If the council and it will probably
be unanimously accepted.
The offer of DIR, Crutcher and X. $
| Ford of land on the West side was re.
garded as a bid for a private snap and
found no supporters.
The price Jerry Collins asked for a
block between Seventh and Eighth ave.
nues and Fourteenth and Fifteenth
| streets South, 50, 100, was considered too
high.
Boarding the J. j. Hill the party first
visited Gienwood park. passing Park
island on the way, but not stopping as
the island is familiar to all and it was
not thought desirable, j. W. Stanton ct
al. offered this for s 800.
David Thomas offers 20 acres at Glen
wood for 5000. This was acknowledged
to be a good site, but not as desirable as
others offered.
Twenty acres south of the poor farm
offered by III. Z. Rolfe, agent, was mex
visited. The land is, for the most part
high and dry, with many natural advan
tages, such as IA lake and road way and
the finest trees zeal Great Falls. The
price asked is $500 per acre. The alder
men were all pleased with its advan
tages but are opposed to accepting prop
cry outside of the Unite and so the only
offer that seems TO be sure of success il
that of the Townsite company.
