"Well," the girl said, wonderingly,
after another long pause, "what is your
motive? What has happened? Why do
you wish to know?"
Because I myself want you," said
Tom.
Fearfully blunt, very inelegant. But
Tom, you know, was no diplomat, and
at that moment every feeling and pulse
in him went it's natural way and took
the shortest course without reflection
or sense of proportion.

ANY independence is riches" said
Tom.
The girl replied to this remark by an
ingenious look of admiration. Then
there was a silence. in which Tom was
as obstinate as before, but he was pale
and his expression wholly unassuming.
Then the girl, who had an originality
and directness of her own not unwor-
thy of Toms, arose and said, quietly:
.'Well, / will answer your inquiry hon
estly. I am not engaged, but think I
shall be-" And Tom, shade paler
than before, withdrew without word.
After he had gone the girl cried
little. Then, with misty eyes, she sat
down at her window, which, though in
the city, commanded a view of one large
tree that had become very companion
able to her. Then she began to examine
herself, which process she continued
for a week, with intervals of deliber-
ately turning and fixing her mind to
other matters, for she knew that the
eye must not stare too long at any OBJ
ject which it would see plainly. Then
she wrote to Tom as follows: "My

Another move was made in the fight
between the Gas Consumers Protective
association and the Los Angeles Light
ing company yesterday, in which the
gas company took the necessary steps
to protect its property. The protective
association owns or controls patent
governor, which, it claims, effects
large saving Of gas when attached to the
pipes. They have worked up quite
business and have the governors on most
of the meters of the public institutions,
in some instances other governors hav-
ing been ordered taken off and the pro-
tective's machine substituted Several
days ago the gas company sent AROUND
a force of men and removed number
of the obnoxious governors. 1t was
claimed by the gas company. and in
many instances the claims were found
to be true, that the governors had been
put on the pipes outside of the meters
on the rise pipe, which belongs 10 the
gas company. In some instances the
lead connections had been crushed and
mashed, greatly reducing the diameter
and interfering with the free flow OF gas
into the meter In other cases parts OF
the lead connecting pipes had been cut
out and the apparatus generally inter-
fered with. The gas company has never
denied the right of the consumer 10 put
any governor or other device on MS
pipes so long as they are put on the IN,
side of the meter, and on the pipes owned
or controlled by the consumer, the COM
pany claiming the ownership and con-
troll of all pipes and connections up TO
what is called the rise pipe. When
these governors were removed the pro-
tctive association got out an injunction
against the gas company restraining II
from removing or in any way interfer-
ing with their governors, and further
proceedings were temporarily sus-
pended.
Yesterday afternoon the gas company
filed it's answer in department one OF the
superior court, and also filed a cross
complaint against the protective asso-
citation, setting forth in detail the main
facts as above given, praying that the
injunction against them be dissolved,
and further that the protective assoc1a-
ton be perpetually restrained from in
any way interfering or tampering with
the pipes of the company up to the rise
pipes" The case will come up for near
ing on it's merits, when the present in
junction will probably be dissolved and
the rights of the parties settled.
