to the opposite side of the street with
her head turned away. Then from
the group of boys small voice cried
out:
Three kisses for Helen.''
The girl heard. A blush crept over
her face and she sped faster up the
pavement, but her tears were dried
and there was smile upon her lips.

Chief Of Police Melick is commended
by all the decent people of the city.
Added to the reputation which Mr..
Melick acquired during and before
the Sheedy trial, and which should
have made him ineligible TO office
forever after. are the current rumours
touching Mr.. Melick's very friendly
relations with the gamblers Of the
city. Such rumours are prejudicial
to thecity administration as whole
and il is very wise to cut off
the offending member especially
on the approach Of an election
i'm which various charges against the
administration will be made. and il

IL has been observed by students of

pressing the gambling rooms and thus
make il difficult to crafty the tastes

an alert moral industry which Mr.
Melick's biography does not indicate
that he possesses. For which reasons
the mayors decision as to Mr. Melick's
unfitness for the place he occupies, is
surely sound.
