under discussion was evidently the re-

barking fest that wears the push collar
an excuse, though poor one, 10 set up
bis senseless clamor at the heels Of his
bctters.
Perhaps this city has had enough OF
the "cheap guys" Perhaps the tax
payers are ready TO go back 10 the days
Of the push, when the assessment was
up 10 the limit and the city was still
running behind at the rate Of $4,000
annually; when the deficit was increas-
ing yearly, and the anxious taxpaying
tinanciers Of the city were sitting up
nights trying to formulate some plan by
which city finances could be- put on
some sort Of solvent basis.
As the gang who made money for
years by doing city politics, and who
want To get another swipe at the spoils,
have been carrying on constantly, are
still carrying on, and will continue to
carry ON until the next city election, an
uuder-handed but persistent fight ON

citizens who c're for the good govern.

Jared drove up to the appointed place
of meeting. The widow had stepped
into the sleigh and he was tucking the
robes in around her when she said:
There, Jared, I'm jul like other
women; I've forgotten something"
what is it?"

brought my mail out last night, and
there's no mail trains in until noon; but

and see if there was letter for her.
Fer daughter is very sick out west, and
'sh. hasn't had letter for week, and
she's half wild. l couldn't bear to tell
her I'd forgotten to go to the Office"
"I'll drive around that way" said
Jared. 1T won't be three blocks out of
thu way"
Two or three boys stood idling in
front of the post office, and Jared said
to one of them he CHANGED to know:
Say, Jimmie, run into the office and
see if there's any letter for Mrs. Jane
Carr. You needn't ask for me, for I've
been around and got my mall"
"You might look in box 1884," said
Mrs. Darby. "Mebbe there's drop let
tel for me-
The boy came out moment later
with a very large square white envelope
in one hand and a small blue envelope
in the other. He grinned as he handed
them to Mrs. Darby. She glanced at
the blue envelope and said, joyfully:
"Oh, here's letter for Jane, and it's
from her daughter. Iknow by the post
mark. How glad Jane will be! And
here-well. l declared"
She burst into merry laugh as she
looked at the big white, embossed en-
velope. The boy had told the truth
when he had gone back to his comrades
and said with litter:
she's got valentine!"
''Who in the land ever sent me that
thing?" said Mrs. Darby, holding the
envelope out at arms length. 81 didn't
even know it was Valentines day. Fit

They had reached the outskirts of the
town now. Jared brought the horse to
standstill, and said:
us it yes or no, Lucy?"
She looked at him with shining eyes,
and laughing face for moment. Then
she laid one of her mittened hands on
the sleeve of the great fur coat he wore,
and said:
Il think it is yes, Jared"
He turned his horses head toward
the town.
Where are you going?' she asked.
