ful calamity and she feared to lose

to tell him what was the matter,
that he didn't understand, she
exclaimed rather Historically: "Oh,

I'm SO glad you don't. l don't think

Tom looked deeply puzzled at
these seemingly random and inco-

Whatever it was she had dreamed,
the effect produced was that he had
had a warmer welcome than ever
before during their engagement,
and he was satisfied.
At the next meeting of the Ger
man club Miss Rossiter, who a few
weeks before had read a stirring
paper advancing the theory that
some time on this earth there would
be a golden age, when kindred souls
would live in the full delight of
realized ideals, read an equally stir
ring paper combating and fatty con-
tradicting her own pet theories.
On the way home from the club
Mrs. Denny, who prided herself on
finding the hidden springs which
produced action in her friends
minds, suddenly remarked
Nan Rossiter, you have some
reason for so suddenly changing
your mind about those theories of
yours.
Yes, replied Miss Rossiter, with
an inscrutable smile. II have a rea-
son, but that, as Kipling says, is an
other story, and one I refuse to
tell Agnes Brown in Philadel-
phia Times.

A REALIZED IDEAL.

Miss Rossiter sat alone in the IL
brary, gazing rather pensiyely into
the fire. When the servant came
with the lights, she had sent him
away, saying that she preferred sit
ting by the freight, and now she
leaned back luxuriously in her great
easy chair, preparatory to the rath-
er unusual indulgence of an intro
spect;ve mood.
She could not be called introspec-
tive as a general thing, for she was
far too busy with charities, flower
missions, Tolstoi clubs, church and
society in all their fullness, to allow
herself the popular fad of self anal
ysis, and then there was Tom Len
field. She had been engaged to Tom
for nearly year.
He was a dear good fellow and
was succeeding so we'll in his bust
ness, and yet--well, she was vague
ly conscious that she had not been
as deeply disappointed as an en-
gagged girl should be when she had
received his note that day telling
her he had been called out of town
unexpectedly and might not be able
to return in time to be with her
that evening, as he had planned.
She wondered if, after all, she did
love him as she should.
She sighed little and determined
to allow herself the pleasure of feel
ing rather miserable upon this sub
ject.
Tom was a dear, she thought,
but if he only had little more love
and appreciation for the things she
cared for!
Not that he was not all love and
appreciation for her, she admitted
to herself, for she knew that he con-
sidered her the very loveliest and
cleverest girl in the world; still
there was no denying that Tom was
rather slow sometimes, and so prac-
teal She remembered how at the
art exhibition they had stopped be-
fore a picture of the impressionist
school that it was the thing to ad-
mire. TO be quite honest, she was
not entirely sure whether she real
ly understood and admired it her
self, but she had heard so much talk
about it from people whose judg-
ment she held to be entirely above
criticism that she had at last per-
suaded herself that to her, too, it
was replete with life and meaning.
At any rate it was annoying to
have Tom look at her in undisguised
amazement as she praised its vir-
tues and to hear him exclaim: "That
daubi You surely don't admire
that9" But then he was so penitent
when she had explained it to him,
and even if he did not understand
1t was pleasant to hear him say:
"You are the cleverest girl, Nan.
often wonder how you can care for
fellow whose only pretense to
good taste is his love for YOU She
remembered how, few weeks ago,
at symphony concert, she had
looked into Tom s face to see if in
some degree he did not feel the JOY
of the music that flooded her soul.
Hew fond of music, in his way,
but he was candid enough to confess
that a bright, pleasing bit of light
opera brought far more pleasurable
emotions to him than the most soul
full melodies of the great masters.
On this particular occasion Miss
Rossiter remembered that he had
returned her rapt expression with
one Of anxiety and had murmured
tenderly: What is it, darlinga Are
you sitting in a draft2''
Oh. dear, it was always drafts,
or something equally annoying to
her She wondered, if she could

Justice Smiths suGEestive Decision In the Hub.
d-Thorn Assemb Contest.

Justice Smiths Suggestive Decision IN the Hub-
bard-Thorne Assembly Contest.
Justice Smith. in the Supreme Court in Brook
lyn, yesterday signed an order directing the
Board OF County Canvassers to canvass the vote
for Assemblyman in the Second. Tenth. and
Twelfth districts of the Twentieth ward from
the certified returns in the possession Of the Po-
lice Department. and not from the original
statements made to the Board of Elections and
subsequently, forwarded to the Board of County
Canvassers.
In making this order Justice Smith said there
was no doubt that the figures in the original
statement had been tempered with, but as there
was no direct evidence against any particular
person he was obliged to leave the whole matter
see fit to take.
BY this action the canvassers will be compelled
to give a certificate of election to Samuel NJ.
Hubbard, the Democratic candidate for Assem-
bly, in the Tenth district of Kings county. Ac.
cording to the returns, made by the Board Of
Canvassers it appeared that John K. Thorne,
the Republican candidate for Assembly, was
elected by one vote, but by the careful canvass
made OF the votes in the ballot boxes in the three
disputed districts by referees appointed by the
bard had received many votes that had not been
placed to his credit and that Mr.. Thorne had
been credited with many votes to which he was
not entitled. Mr.. Thorne Is a clerk to the Com
mon Council committees.
District Attorney Backus said that he had not
charges of forgery in connection with the vote
for Assembly. III any citizen" he said, calls
my attention to the alleged forgery / will then
consider it my duty to make an inquiry"

The Assembly District Basis or Representation
Net Likely to ne Adopted.
The delegates to the Republican County Com
mittee in Brooklyn will receive to-day copies of
the proposed amendment to the constitution,
substituting the Assembly district for the ward
plan of representation. The new plan would
reduce tho number of delegates to the County
Committee from 219 to 100. and there is such q
strong kick against this sweeping change that
there is very slight hope that the amendment
will be adopted, especially as 1t will require q
two-thirds vote to pass 1t. Mr.. Hamburg, tho
author Of the amendment. admits that its pass
age will be almost impossible. in view Of tho
stp1ng sentiment in favor of the old plan. which
was discarded this year by the Democrats. much
to their advantage in the opinion of the best in
formed politicians. Tho question will be dis
posed of at the December meeting of the COM
mittee without any reference to f~actional lines.
Much interest will centre in the December
primaries, and 1t is predicted that there will be
considerable new blood In the next committee.

tention to make any effort to control 1t, his pur-
