ROLLED THE MAYOR.
Method Some Officers Have of Settl-
ing Bills Not Approved
by Him,

Mayor Jones was mad clear through
yesterday. 1t was at the meeting of the
police board. Officer Harry Adams, who
owed a balance of $40 on a grocery bill
due Hammer Bros. was cited to appear
and show cause why he should not pay
the bill. He had given an order on the
late General Shelby for $40, $50 of which
was covered by fees due Adams as deputy
marshal and the balance for money loaned.
After considerable sparring between the
Interested parties, Commissioners Fyke
and Johnson decided that the Hammers
should hire an attorney and bring suit
against Adams, instead of paying his bill
and getting his money due him from the
Shelby estate. Mayor Jones was very in
digrant over the hardship worked on the
people who had furnished Adams with his
groceries and declared pointedly that Of
ficers ought to pay their bills and not re-
quire their creditors to collect the officers
bills for them.

I'm ASHAMED OF YOU"

how it happened, the big blue eyes
flashed for a moment into his and he
was on his feet blushing and bowling.
This was the beginning, and it be-
came customary to bow, later to sit side
by side and talk during lunch, and, If
time permitted, to walk with her as
far as the Monadnock building, where
she was employed. He had vainly tried
to discover her name, but when he had
naively informed her that it was awk-
ward to call her "Say," she had asked
him to call her simply Miss Margaret,
adding that this was what she was most
generally called and was most accus-
toned to.
This went on for several weeks and
Joe had several times been on the verge
of asking for her address that he might
call, or asking her to accompany him
to the theater, but he kept delaying,
fearing that he might rupture the grow
ing friendship and be left again to
himself and the lonesomeness Of feel
ing that he knew almost no one.
One noontime (and Joe will always
remember i) she was not in her ac-
customed place, although the day be-
fore she had been specializing what the
bill of fare would be. He ate as slowly
as he could and spent his whole noon
hour in the restaurant, but when he
left, the chair was still vacant. The
next day the same experience. He re-
preached himself for not finding out
more about her-perhaps she was sick
or had met with an accident. At any
rate, she knew his name and address
;7hy didn't she at least drop him a
line? Surely it was cruel to leave him
in such uncertainty. He brooded over
what might possibly have happened to
her, till his health began to fail. He
had never thought the daily walk Of a
few blocks could mean so much to him.
Several weeks passed by ard the
chair still continued vacant. On the
very day his two years was ZIP Toe re-
membered that she had spoken OF

stay in de pantry, en- when mawnin
comes he'll be mo- jucier den ever!"
His son seemed sadly disappointed
but he made the best of it, and both
retired for the night.
The old man was up early mex
morning, but the boy slept on.
On opening the safe the astonished
parent discovered nothing but bones
in the dish that had contained the
'possum. He brought the drowsy
youngster to his feet with one vigor-
Gus jerk, and dragging him to the
scene of the wreck, he said:
What does dat mean, eh?"
The boy fell on his knees and cried

been fortunate in securing a position
at once, through brother OF MS to"n
postmaster, who was now chief CLERK
in the office. Joe will never forget
those two years-lonesome two years
they were, the more lonesome, perhaps
because he had never been away IRON
home and among strangers before.
When he first came to Chicago the
Worlds Fair and other attractions
made the city wonderful place for the
country boy, but these soon paled OF
passed away, and the loneliness settled
upon him as he felt himself stranger
in strange land.
For a time he attended church, as
had been his habit at home, but they
were such large places, and the con-
gregation and young folks dressed ana
acted so differently from the church
folk at home that he finally got In the
habit of staying away. He sorely missed
his town acquaintances, the compan-
ionship of his sisters and brothers and
the bright smile of Cousin Fan, who
used to pop in so Unexpectedly and
leave such volume of sunshine behind

town to do his marketing. The girls
with whom some of his fellow-clerks
associated, and with whom they tried
to make him at home, somehow failed
to fill the bill. Somehow it didn't seem
right for the fellows to greet them on
the street with familiar slap on the
shoulder and a Hello, Kit, old girl.

he felt too much of an aversion to
them to enjoy himself or make himself
entertaining and dropped them.
At last change came-gradually to
be sure, so slowly that Joe hardly knew
there had been change till 1t was
there. For several days the seat at
the opposite end of the table in the
restaurant Joe ate lunch had been &C.
cupied by modest-appearing little
woman, whose long lashes fringed the
darkest of blue eyes and whose slight
ly pouting lips and rounded cheeks
glowed with the natural health which
can never be duplicated by art, and
which only country air can give. The
next day she was in the same seat, and
the next and the next, and Joe soon
came to look forward, unthinkingly, to
seeing the bright face of the unknown.
One day the chair was vacant, and
Joe, with sense of deep disappoint-
ment, knew why it was he looked for
ward so eagerly to the monday meal.
The next noontlme he took particular
pains with his toilet and was so i'm
patient that he was at the table five
minutes before his accustomed time.
