The Camden Iron Works Debarr ed
by the statute of Limitations.

The Camden Iron Works, OF Philadelphia,
which contracted in 1888 TO furnish
the District with castiron water pipes, has
brought suit TO recover an amount alleged
TO aggregate about $4,000, which the
government withheld as fines upon the
company for failing to comply with its
agreement as to the deliveries Of the
material To this claim the Commissioners
interposed as a bar the statute of Iimita-
tions.
Inc company wants the District to with
draw that plea and permit the case to be
tried upon it's merits, and TO accomplish
this purpose the firm wrote To Representa-
tive Harmer, of Pennsylvania. asking that
its request be laid before the board. The
Commissioners replied to the Congressman
yesterday, declining to accede TO the com
pany's suggestion. II would be iInpolitic,
they say, to permit the waiver OF any
defense which the District may have in
an action at law, whatever they might be
willing to do TO have the claim adjudicated
otherwise
1t is claimed by the Commissioners that
the company should have Instituted pro-
ceedings to recover within the time when
the action would have met with no OBJ

her sobs with conviilsive effort. After
awhile she peered pitifully over her pnafore
and her fearful eyes met Johnny Starrs
compassionate ones.
Johnny Starr was a new boy, whose

moreover, gave his head an indignant
Jerk toward Miss Little, which did her
good, though she loved Miss Little.
Recess came soon after the girls were
released from their position in the
floor and everybody went out, the weather
was SO warm. Johnny Starr followed Sc
rena Ann into the northeast corner of the
school yard. where there was a little
clump of pine trees.
He took out his jackknife and began
cutting j. S. in pine trunk, as if that
was what he had come there for.

the reputation of being a very strict

Serena Ann gave a little sigh, which
was almost a sob, Of assent. The teacher
held up the slate and read: Were they

MIR. RUST GETS \ LETTER.
Somewhat Delayed Because Address
ed Under His Chemical Name.


As curious n letter as has been received
in Kansas City for many months reached
the postofficc yesterday morning, and after
great display Of learning on the part of
some OF the clerks, il was finally delivered
to the manfUr whom it was intended. The
distributing clerk, VINO irst got hold of the
letter looked at II in despair. II was
plainly evident that the writer Of the let
ter had been burning midnight oil in an
attempt to BATTLE the pnStuffice force.
The first line contained the letters: u.
S. FE2O3." The letters Were plain enough
but what did they mean? The next line
began with a large a, then there was a
carefully executed drawing Of what had
the appearance of q harber's comb then
n small a. and finally a representation of a
house, drawn by one whose early education
had been sadly neglected.
What should have been the third line of
the address was in the shape Of more or
less accurate map Of Kansas City, showing
the junction and the streets in that vicinity.
The last line was another map, showing
the State Of Missouri
1t was plain enough that the letter was
for some one who lived in the State OF
Missouri and in Kansas City. 1t did not
take a great stretch OF ima agination to dis
cover that the comb and the sketch of d
house had some vague reference to the
Acoma building. So far il was easy sail
ing. But who was the IL ystcriouS j
s. FE2O3?"
After puZzling his brain for a long time
without any good result, the clerk took
the letter to Mike Clerk Garfield, who is
supposed to be able to guess all sorts OF
conundr rums.
Il can tell you part of it," said he. Il
can tell you that "FE2O3 are the chcmi-
cal symbols for ferric oxide. Now, if you
can find out who he is, you are all right
Still the distributing clerk was unable
to solve the question. He went about ask
ing every one what he knew about fcrriC
oxide. He finally encountered one man
who was more of chemist than the others
and he impaired to him the information
that ferric oxide in common parlance is
called rust"
That is how J. S. Rust received the let
ter over which his friend in Conception,
Mo, had spent so much time. Kansas City

PART /.


St. Valentines day came on a Thurs
day that year Tuesday, the twelfth, was
very warm, almost springlike; people
listened involuntarily for blue birds and
robins and looked at the elm branches
against the sky as if they expected to see
leaves. All that winter, so far, had been
very mild one. That morning Serena
Ann Green had found two ladies' delights
blooming in a sheltered spot near the
doorstep inthe 50 lth yard aud carried them
TO school To give the teacher. The scholars
crowded up TO the desk 10 see them, and
the teacher said she would call them her
valentine That set Serena Ann to think
ing. After school began she wrote little
mote lit was against the rules, but her
curiosity was suddenly too much for her
on her slate and held it under cover Of her
desk, so Tabitha Green, who sat next,
could read.s
Did you ever hav valintin?" she in
Quired, in plain, round characters. Serena
AIMS penmanship was unusually good, but
abe was naturally a poor speller
Tabitha nodded. Serena Ann looked i'm
pressed. Presently Tabitha wrote on her
own slate one word: You" She omitted
the Interrogation point, which she could
not make very well Instead, she raised
her eyebrows, which was really more
eloquent.
Serena Ann shook her head. Tabitha
Green leld up one hand, with fingers
and thumb spread, and the other with
the small index finger extended and
tie fingers and thumb curled under; that
meant that she had received six valen-
tines. Serena Ann began to write on
her slate again, when suddenly soft folds
Of blue cashmere swept against her face
and slim white hand reached out for the
slate. The teacher. Miss Cornelia Little,
had come softly TO her other side. "Com-
municating, Serena Ann?'' inquired Miss
Little, gently. Miss Little never raised
