observe that time-boHoFed custom OF
watching the Old Year out and the New
Year in. BE told himself, sentimental
IL, that he would quietly take a seat at
Madge's side, gain surreptitious posses

enter upon the New Year together.
But Madge was not IN the group
about the fireplace, nor was she IL the
room; and, even as he looked, the of
fensiYely handsome and aristccFatic
Martindaie rose quietly and made his
exit through the other door. For a
moment BFaden stood dazed-then,
with jealous intuition he turned and
made his way TO the conservatory, and
there, not ten feet from the door, he
recognized the figure Of Martindale.
But the latter did not see nor hear the
eayesdropper. He was busy kissing the
willing lips of some one in feminine at
tire whose face could not be seen, but
whose dress and figure, in the dim
light, looked only too familiar to poor
Braden, Utterly crushed, the latter
turned silently and FASTENED up TO his

It seemed very strange, indeed, until
Mr.. Warren, who had gone to his study
for a goodnight smoke, found on his
desk q note from VIII. In it the young
man begged forgiveness for thus alb
ruptly taking his departure, intimatet
that Madge would doubtless explain
and requested that his luggage be for

A soatCh Story.

They were old friends and had been
sweethearts in their younger days.
There was silver in her hair and snow
in his and they sat and talked OF old
times when they were young. They
did not speak of dates It was simply
"wheR we were young" Their first
meeting, their first quarrel, their last
kiss, their last quarrel, were all gone
over. Perhaps they both warmed a
little over the recollections. at last

THE srREET-cLEANMa ISSUE

The street cleaning issue that was
raised at the city hall last week prom
ises to accomplish anything save getting
the streets cleaned. AS nearly as can
be ascertained. it has developed into a
bitter personal quarrel between two fac
tions at the city hall
The situation is as broad as 1t is long.
The report Of the council committee ap-
pointed to investigate the charges made
by the health officer against the inspector
CT street cleaning will be made tomorrow
1t will either sustain or disapprove the
charges, but that really cuts no figure.
If the inspector is defeated, he will take
the matter into the body of the coun-
Gil, where he has friends. If the
charges are not sustained, the
health officer will also take the
matter directly into the council
and get after the street cleaning con-
tractor. Then the people will be
treated to an unseemly row.
In the meantime the streets are not be-
ing properly cleaned. They are dirty,

A MARK OF PROGRESS

The Herald is not much given to boast
ing of It's own success, preferring to
leave the matter Of appreciation to its
readers. They are perfectly competen.
to judge from the columns Of news
paper whether it bears the stamp Of pros
perity or not. BY this standard The
Herald is willing to be estimated. But
there are some things that do not appear
upon the surface, and one Of these, no
doubt friends Of the paper would be glad
to know about. This is the rather sig
niflcant fact that during the months of
May, Jurs, July and August of this year
more than thee thousand new names
were added to the subscription lists of
The Herald. This is a mark of appre-
citation that cannot be gaineayed, and we
venture that like increase during the
summer months has never before been
recorded in this meek Of woods"

dusty, filthy. Shiny and oozy by turns
Tho taxpayers are not getting the value
Of their money. The people do not care
about personal quarrel between two
city hall ofnciala They want the streets
kept clean. That Is the mark to shoot at.
Perhaps the bringing Of charges by
the health officer against the inspector
was. by itself, considered the proper
method of getting at the existing diff
culties But let the proceedings be con-
fined to the discovery Of the facts and
kept free from the personal prejudices
and animosities of the men directly con-
cerned. There is no need of wasting
valuable time. Just find where the
blame is and act accordingly, promptly
and decisively.
However the matter IL decided it
should not be allowed to interfere with
trial Of the hand-sweeping system, that
has given great satisfaction in other
cities, and which is asked for by the busi-
ness men and the press of the city.

sTAaE-sTRUCK GIRLS

LIE Figaro (Paris) recently published
letter from Alexander Dumas, the
younger, in which that brilliant French
man sounds note of warning to re-
spectacle girls who are suffering from
the stage-struck mania. The letter is
dated June, 1892, and was written in
reply to lady who wanted his assist
ance for a society girl who was afflicted
that way. It says:
Madame: Whenever a girl who
springs from the lowest classes Of soci..
ETY. shall come to me to ask for my as
sistance to secure her admission to the
stage. If she is pretty and gifted, will
give her the aid she asks; but shall
always refuse my assistance to any
young girl who declares she is of good
family, respectable and of independent
fortune, as 1 believe that for a girl
brought up under such conditions any,
thing, even death, is better than that
abominable existence.
