The morning OF Fourth Of July rose
full of sweet summer haZes, musical
with the trill of birds, and sparkling
with dew.
Leah could scarcely wait for the
old farm wagon to drive of before
she began her own toilet, frizZing
her hair to look like Floias tangled
tresses, and adjusting the newly
Numbered pink muslin gown TO
initiate, as nearly as possible, the
prevailing fashion.
Her heart beat restlessly; the color
came and went nervousy on hel
cheek; and even afer she was stand
ing at the dock, with the house-key
in her hand, she began to think that
the time never would come for the
excursion boat to steam around the
curve Of the hills.
What will George Annis think II
he comes there and finds It all shut
up and Vacant she thought, with
species Of strangke exultation.
Hush. The sound Of drum and
horn and piercing dfe, the futter Of
bunting, the roar of paddle wheels!
The boat was here at last, and the
first object she took note OF was Flora
Plimpton, waving a handkerchief from
the guards
Come on board shouted Flora,
looking red and excited Dave Fer
guson amt here yet He'll get on
next landing. Hurry-hurry''
But in her haste Leah had dropped
the house-key, and stepped out Of the
throng to pick 1t up from the trampled
grass.
With the sight Of its cleaning brass
wards, sudden thought flashed into
her mind. The money in the DID
Dutch cabinet at home!

ness of the summer night,
Leah Linton had come to the Hal
lidays ten years ago as a bound
girl-a fatherless, motherless waif-
big-eyed Ike robin, with a thatch
of chestnut hair overhanging her
forehead. and slim, brown feet,
guiltless of shoes or stockings, and
the indy old couple had adopted her
into their heart and home.
Now, at eighteen, she was socially
their equal to all intents and pur-
poses. and loved them with timid,
shrinking devotion.
Bue since Flora Plimpton had
crossed her orbit, that bold, dashing
girl who was a "tryer-on' in Holt
X Hanneford's big cloak and mantle
store in New York, a disturbing ele-
ment had risen into her heart-a
longing to see the world, to mingle
with the gay throng of whom Flora
told her, to drink a draft from the
cup of trimming, seething life that
other people drank.
George Annis, the head carpenter
of the rubber works, had seemed de-
lightful company up to this time,
but now he appeared tame and coun-
tritied beside Mr.. Dave Ferguson,
black-moustached and scarf-pinned,
who had designed to cast gracious
glance upon her rural charms.
was troubled and upset. Leah
scarcely knew why. Hitherto she
had been serenely happy, like one of
the twittering robins in the thicket;
now vague sense of wrong and dis
content took possession of her as she
entered the house, drew the ponder
Gus bolt, and went up to her room.
1T is quite true what Flora Plimp-
ton says" she thought. Il never go
anywhere, or see anything!"
Who was that talking over the
gate with you last night, Leah?' Mrs,
Halliday asked, the next day, as she
helped Leah shell the peas for dinner.
ut was Flora Plimpton.'
that girl, if | was you" counselled
the good woman, reaching for another
handful of the emerald pods.
The Plimptons always had bad
name, and | never heard no good of
Flora even arter they went away
from here. A girl like you can't be
too careful who she goes with. "
Leah was silent, but she shelled
away faster than ever.
There are times when advice seems
to produce a directly opposite effect
of what is intended, and Mrs. Halli-
days words only served to strengthen
the girls resolve to have her own way
for once.
81 shouldn't wonder" added the
old woman, with a sly smile If
George Annis were to come up this
way Fourth O July, arter me and IA
theirs gone"
Still the peas ratified into the pan
like a miniature fusilade of artillery.
Leah never looked up nor spoke.
And | don't see as there'd be any
harm in your askin' him to stay to
dinner" added Mrs. Halliday. He'd
be sort O. company for you.
Il don't want any company" burst
out Leah. If he says anything
more to Mr. Halliday, ask him not to
come. I'd rather be alone.
Why, child, what's come to you?'
said Mrs. Halliday, in surprise.
Leah made no answer. She was
thinking OF Ferguson's flashing
black eyes and square chin.
George Annis was nice-lo5klng
fellow enough but George had no
style. style was one of Flora
Plimpton's fayorite words.

Mr. Feldhauser's Suggestion for Re-
modelling the Market House Is
Going to Meet With Opposition In

Ihe proposition Of Edward Feldhaus-

Monday, relative to the turning of the
market house property over to the IL
brary board and the remcdeling Of the
building so as to provide for a nubIic
library does not seem to meet with the
approval of the members of the council.
"a NUMBER OF the members Of the body
lcgislatiVe OF the city are opposed in a
eenerai way to the plan. Aid. Shepard
was OF the opinion that it was a fool

pan was all right. but it would be an

A gentleman, who has been interested
IN the leasing of the market house prop
erty TOT the past five years, had this
70 say yesterday ON the subject of the
F'eldhauser proposition:
Mr.. Feldhauser is an enthusiast on
the subject, but after he has apneared
before 1nnunlerable committees and his
plan mas been discussed by the cham
per OF commerce, Commercial club and
the common council. he will discover
that there are too many interests on
posed to his plan.
In the first place there is the oues
ton of securing the amount necessary
to remodel the building. The issuance
or bonds or certificates of indebtedness
to the amount of $4,000. will be the first
stumbling block, and while the CITY
olHclals will announce that they are in
favor of the plan the legal department
asked for an opinion will report that
the issuance of such bonds or certif-
Gates would be against the law.
This point having been settled the
next thing will be the collection Of the
amount by private subscription. and
any one who has been over the city for
the purpose Of raising one-tenth Of the
amount which Mr.. Feldhauser says will
be required, can testify that this plan
Is also impracticable.
The owners Of property adjacent to
the market house will also make their
interests felt at the proper time through
the council as the putting in Of dozen
stores in the building. we'll lighted and
heated, would cause a reduction in the
rental Of property in the vicinity TAX
ing all things together, Mr.. Feldhauser
will find that while his proposition is
a good one for the city and the library,
1t will be impossible to carry out the
plans"
