out and married her of to Mark Weber.
They are travelling in Spain now.''
FLOW in the world did she como to do
such cheeky thing as be named Linda
Marmont?" Lester asked the question
with deep resentment. The old lady's
dark eyes twinkled as she looked at him
shrcwdly.
Why, she was named for Linda Leland
tho families were very intimate, you
know. That was the way that marriage
OF Linda's came about; the families made
1t up. My son, your silence tells that
you've said all you have to say, and beg
that no sense Of the duty of politeness will
Keep you here. Perhaps your wager Is q
very important one"
"You arc the best woman in the
world
"And very discreet"
"And very discreet" And with happy
laugh Lester stopped and kissed her with
cred hand and was gone.
But his happy mood was not to remain
unbroken through that winter afternoon.
When he sent up his card to Mrs. Mar
mont he received not even the politely
fictitious message that she was ''out." 1t

out another card and was about to p1hcil
IA line on it, but no stopped. How should
no dare to send the lady an imperious
prayer for an audience. What right had he?
'sWhat time will MIR. Leland be INF"
The servant answered that he was to be
expected in about half an hour Three
quarters of an hour later Lester was again
ringing that doorbell He sent up his
card to Mr Leland and in his abstraction
stepped, not into the drawing room, but
into little sitting room on the other side
of tho hall, and there, in q soft black
gown and gazing motionlessly out of the
window, sat Linda Marmont.
Linda, exclaimed the man in a queer,
choking voice, don't start! On, you
mustslct me speak to you! Nothing can
take away our happiness. You are not
married, not marriedr' And he caught
bota her hands in his as she stood startled
and silent before him. "You don't know
what I've lived through since heard that
Linda Aiarnont was married"
You Thought that I was married to
Mark Weber, Linda found indignant
voice at last, and she was trying to draw
away her hands, but there was, new color
and light in her face and hint of q smile
on her lips.

FIRST OF JANUARY RESOLUTIONS.
Notions That, Carried Out win Help to
Make 1896 q Pleasant Year.


If you wish to avoid one fruitful CAUSE
of discomfort during the coming year.
make resolution not to grumble about
the weather. Kicking and fault finding
never made hot day cooler or q cold day
warmer; but, on the other hand, they al
ways intensity the current weather trouble
immensely.
If you want to make your husband good
natured, resolve to help him to have his
own way invariably. He probably will
anyhow, and the adoption and carrying
out of this resolution will save whole lot
of trouble.
If your wife has got in the habit Of dsk-
ing you for money every day, resolve to
make her regular allowance and then
keep your resolution. You'll be as much
surprised by the result as she will be by
the resolution.
If you have become disheartened BY the
depravity OF your fellow men, resolve to
stop thinking about it and try to do :
favor every day for some one Of them. II
VIII amaze you to see how quickly the
world at large will improve in your eyes.
II the new year finds you clean disoour-
aged because of lack of progress in 1895
review the 10 months carefully and zee Il
wasted time has not been at the bottom Of
your failures. If it has, resolve to make
the minutes count in 1896. A year "a
made up of minutes, and you cannot wen
fail to advance between New Years DAYS
II you make every minute count.
II you have had hard work keeping your
New Years resolutions in the past, resolve
this year to make none and to conduct
yourself In such a way that none will BE-
necessary. Good practice Ia better than
good resolves always.

Quite number of town lots were sold
to-day at public auction by tax collector

ing the taxes due on them. Before the
sale began Mr. w. B. Guthrie, as the
representative Of the owners of some of
the property, announced that the adger-
Using of the property was not legally
made, as there had been an error in
the advertisement which made it read
18th instead of 9Th day Of October as
the date of the sale. He warned all
would be purchasers that if they bought
in any of the property of his clients
they would buy it subject to silt.
Mr.. F. A. Green the attorney for the
town in reply to this announcement
declared that the town would guarantee
the title to all property sold. The re-
suit was that the town had to buy in
most Of the property itself.

1t Has Taken Happy Turn ana
Promises to Result in Good.


The rumpus started over the proposed
side track into the yard of the BLACK
we'll Durham Tobacco Factory to be
built by the Southern Railway has taken
a very happy turn and promises to result
in the accomplishment of something that
should have been done long ago. The
crossing of the Southern near their de-
depot is necessarily dangerous and prom
ises to be much more so after so many
additional trains are put on still this Is
the crossing used by three fourths OF
the school children every day. And
that none of them have been killed Is
wonder even when the great care taken
by the railroad employees is considered.
Now it is proposed to practically turn
over to the railroads those parts or Pea
BODY and Pettigrew streets between
Carr and Corcoran streets. To do this
it will be necessary to extend Car street
from the railroad track to Main street
There is already AZ drive way under the
tracks of the Southern railroad, this will
be made wider and the Durham and
Northern railroad will be made to
elevate or should be made to elevate
their tracks so as to make passageWay
under them for the street. 1t the street
is extended with the same direction 1t
now has it would strike Main street
about rs yards above Five Points, 1t is
proposed to curve it after passing the
Durham and Northern tracks so as to
bring it to Five Points so that it will be
actually an extension of Morris street.
This is a wise move and one that will
give a crossing which will never be
blocked and will enable parents to feel
that their children can go to aud from
school without passing through a most
dangerous mass of moving trains. Timid
ladies driving nervous horses will not
have to drive along beside moving tam,
or have to be hurrying across tracks for
fear an engine will run out before they
can cross. The whole matter will be
brought up before the board of aldermen
at their regular meeting next Monday
night.
