In the young mans flushed cheek,
trembling lips. and agitated manner
there were unmistakable signs Of a
coming outburst.
The emotions Of an oyercharged
heart could be crushed down no long

Flavius Josephus Millsap was no
stranger to the Fillmore mansion. He
pervaded it three or four evenings
every week, as a rule, and oftener still
as a frequent exception.
Everybody in the house. from the
aged grandmother to the kitchen lady,
knew he came to see Miss Pinkie.
Even Miss Pinkie knew it, despite
she fact that he had never explicitly
said so.
In like manner he knew she was per.
f"etlY willing. for him to. peryade the
mansion, according to rule or excep-
tionally, though she had never actual
ly expressed herself to that effect
Yet she sat with her face half avert
ed from him.
Such Is the contradictory, tantaliz-
ing, eXasperating habit of the young
woman of all clmes, kindreds, tongues
and periods of the worlds history
Young woman. Young woman! What

plus Millsap again broke in upon the

Then I'm sure"
'pinkie-"
He made a slight motion as if to take
her hand
But she still sat with her face half
averted from him.
"Pinkie, why do you think I've been
coming here for last six months?'
Seven months" she murmured.
This was not encouraging, on the
face of it, but he went ahead:
The fact Of the matter is, Pinkie

She still sat with her race half avert

"Why not Pinliie? Why not? What

Those who acted upon the Trib-

for little in the Epworth League en-
tertainment last Friday evening
We're more than satisfied. 1t was
even better than expected and good
critics declared it to be better than
the average 80 cent entertainment.
Every number on the program was
good. The violin playing by Miss
Gretta Cox was revelation, and
captivated every listener. Musical
critics pronounce it the finest violin
music ever heard in the city. Mrs.
Hendra's recitations sustain that
lady's reputation as one of the most
accomplished elocutionists of the
country. Little Miss Knight also
showed that her native talent in that
line is developing, with promise that
she will soon rival her instructress--

What do you think about it? In
rural cemeteries each individual usu-
ally cares for his own lot. The"Pot-
tiers field really belongs to the coun-
ty. Ought not the county then to at
least keep the weeds down, and if
any of the SO called iioXi0us weeds
grow there, ought not the weed COM
missioner to notify tie officials and
have them removed? Is it not per-
fectly legitimate use of county funds
to keep the grass cut, and to main
tain decent appearance in that
part of the silent city, where repose
the homeless and friendless? What
do you think of it? asks an exchange.
