said. demurely: "Are you sure they
| were meant for me?"
| whom else could they be meant
for?" said Charlie, sentimentally.
"My cousin, perhaps-she's over
there" said the girl, merrily. Dacre
flushed in unutterable confusion and
took back the flowers, scarcely knowing
what he did. And when he turned
away he met the scornful eyes of girl
who must be the Isabel he wanted, be-
cause the girl he had left wasn't her.
1t was quite impossible to present the
flowers, and he made crestfa.len es-
cape as soon as he could.
Hang it! I'll end all this!" he said,
angrily, one day. "But I shall have to
be careful, If am happily successful,
that marry the right girl 1t would be
awfully awkward if / didn't"
His opportunity seemed thrown into
his hands, for he was invited to spend
a week at a country house where the
Isabel was also going with her mother.
He sat next her at dinner, and to his
great delight saw no other Isabel.
I'VE shall be larger party to-mor-
row." said the young lady; my cousins
are coming"
'The-the Dennisons? Charlie almost
gasped.
Not all Of them-only Isabel and
Lucy"
This was comforting! And both Isa-
bells had such an odious habit of dress
ing in the same colors! Why didn't
they wear different-colored ribbons,
like French twins?
He got along fairly well. with great
care and caution. One evening he saw
Isabel Dennison entering the library.
He knew it was his one, because she had
On gray dress, whereas her cousin had
worn green one during the day; other
wise it was too dark to see her features.
He followed her into the room.
THE incest time for chat" he said,
and she made movement as If to leave
the room, fitting toward further
door.
"Yes, but I'm afraid l can't stay"
she said. II only came to fetch some
thing left here"
"Well-but don't go-stay minute"
said Dacre, entreatingly. He had no
doubt at all about his accuracy as to
identity; her desire to escape from him
was sure proof, let alone others; for
it was precisely the desire she had
shown in the last few days, and which
he took as favorable sign. miss Dem

The girl had stood still for second,
while Charlie rushed on with his dec

hastily
Indeed, Mr.. Dacre, I'm afraid"
Don't say that" said Charlie, going
nearer; "all those weeks in town

A stificd sound came from the dim
figure before him, whether laugh or
what he could not tell; but he sudden

face to face with another Isabel in a
gray dress.
If the earth had opened and swal-
lowed him Charlie would have been
thankful. This was the browning dis

TROUBLESOME BLAZE.
The Borough Threatened with the Loss Of
Dumping Grounds.

At about four o'clock yesterday afternoon
fire was discovered at the public dumping
grounds, which is located on the north side
of the public road leading TO Yatesville and
close to the culm bank of the Indian Ridge
colliery. The discovery was made by Dis
trict Superintendent Bmdigan, who was
driving home from Yatesvile Mr.. Bradigan
drove to the Indian Ridge breaker and sent
gang Of men to extinguish the fire, at the
same time sending a messenger to town to
notify the fire companies. The Phoenix Fire
Company was called upon by the messenger
and several Of its members went out to the
scene with its hose carriage, but had not
sufficient hose to reach from the fire plug TO
the place where the fire was burning. The
blaze was put out by men who carried water
from pool in buckets.
Councilman Boehm, chairman of the
street committee, went out to the grounds
and there met Superintendent Bradigan, who
stated that Council would have to take some
action towards protecting the dumping
grounds, or the lease would be cancelled
He cited the fact that should the culm bank
Of the Indian Ridge colliery be set on fire it
would not only result in thousands of dol
lars to the p. & r. c. & l. Company, but
would throw many men out Of employment.
Mr. Boehm said he realized the situation and
would make a recommendation at the Coun-
Gil meeting tonight that a watchman be
placed at the grounds and the Superinten-
dent said such an arrangement would be
satisfactory.
Although the FIRE WIS slight and did no
damage it was Of considerable importance
from the TACT that = threatened to deprive
the borough of public dumping grounds, and
that would mean great inconvenience to the
people as whole and expenditure Of several
thousands of dollars for plant Of some kind
to do away with garbage The present
grounds were secured for the purpose with
much difficulty and should the lease be
cancelled the borough would be subjected to
great loss, hence it is necessary that people
who find an accommodation in the grounds
should try and CRY out the conditions of
the lease. If the borough put Waterman
on the site the laws will no doubt be rigidly
enforced and the fines imposed will be
appropriated to help pay cost of the watch
mans employment. The origin Of yester-
days fire is unknown but it was apparently
due to the carelessness of somebody.

Editors Libel BIN NeconStderou.
Harrisburg, April 1.-The house fol-
lowed the example of the senate yes
terday and adjourned until Monday
night. Just before the adjournment "A
motion was made to reconsider the libel
bill drafted by the Pennsylvania State
Editorial association. which was killed
last week on second reading. The mo-
tion carried by a vote Of 58 to Sc. The
temper Of the house seems to be against
the measure and there is hardly a
chance of its passage unless a radical
change is made in the provisions. A
bill to abolish the Philadelphia public
buildings commission was introduced
by Representative Crothers. OF Phila-
delphia. The measure is similar to that
passed four years ago after a bitter
struggle and declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court.
