THE BELL COMPANY.S LOVE FOR
THE PUBLIC.

According to its general manager.
the Southern Sell Telephone Company
did business in This city for three
years out Of pure love for the public
He said the company lost $4,000 per
year and this so worked on the sym
pathies of Mr.. j. Frank East and
other Councimen that they voted to
let the Bell Company charge what 1t
pleases, because, as Mr.. East naively
put it, III it is true" that the Bell
Company lost $4,000 in one year. then
1t lost $4,000 in three years-which
shows that our Councilmcn know that
) times / is 3.
The Bell Company loved the people
Of Meridian, Miss. as much as il does
the people of Norfolk. In Meridian its
franchise contained provision reserv-
ing TO Councils the right to fix maxi
mum rates. just as its franchise in this
city reserves that right to Councils
1t was charging business houses in
Meridian SiS a year ana residences $50
year for service. This was more
than the maximum rates fixed by
Councils. There was no competition.
Whenever a subscriber kicked" on
his bill or threatened to enforce the
maximum rate ordinance by appeal 10
the. courts he was deprived OF his
phone. Finally, when the situation

CHAPTER XXXFI.

A year later, and in the library or
the old house, Grace Hawthorne sat
alone. as she sat when first we saw
her. The city had rung with a terrible
tragedy. in which Helen Window had
played so sad a part; but no stain
rested thereby on the Reynolds es-
cutcheon. for she never had right or
title to the Reynolds name.
Recovering from that short but Sc
we're illness, Harry Reynolds had gone
abroad.
For a year Grace Inc her guardian
had lived in the old house lone An
the truth was known now. The notes
were paid. and Grace had learned that
Harry's honor was clear as the crys-
tai dew of the early morning. He had
been betrayed more cruelty han she.
She could forgive all to others; but to
herself she could never forgive her
doubt OF him, though proof Of his guilt
had seemed mountain-high.
Sometimes now in the dusk. the form
Of an exquisitely beautiful woman
would seem to fit through the halls.
or the echo OF a ghostiy voice to ring
through the empty chambers.
He r lever return TO it, He car
never bear it," sighed the girl. and hid
her face from the shadow.
Her hands fell.
Harry" she answered-"Harry,"
even as she had spoken IL in hat long
ago time.
But she believed that only her imag-
ination had breathed her name.
But out OF the shadow strobe a tall
form. and then she knew that what
she had feared would never come to
pass already was attained. Harry had
returned.
Crossing TO where she sat. he knelt
in front of her. and clasped in his her
little. trembling hands.
"Gracei" he said. My child-my
love-! Because once ] plucked the
nightshade, will the rose ever elude
me? / love you! Oh. my darling! In
the first month of my Punishment. I
learned to know myself. Grace. tell
me. Has the knowledge come too
late?'
A month later, and the dream of Ed.
gar Reynolds life met it's fulillment.
His son was restored to him. and
Grace was, indeed. to him a daughter
-Harry's wife-and the ghost was
banished from the old halls, and the
voice silenced in the chambers no long
err empty.
The trail Of the serpent had glided
through them, and was gone: but it's
sting had failed to kill happiness, and
it's poison had been rendered harm
less. The nightshade had faded and
died, but on Harry Reynolds faithful
heart the rose will live and bloom. un-
til Gods hand shall stop to pluck and
plant it I'm a fairer garden.
CThe End.)

KNEW HOW TO MANAGE.
She weeps for $50 She Want
ed Only S2J-And Such "a Lovely
Bonnet.

"Oh, dear" sighed the pretty caller,
as she viewed her friends new bonnet,
fresh from the store, II wish my hus-
band would allow me to buy such a
lovely bonnet
He would, my dear, if you knew
how to handle him." answered the
lady of the house.
mo: it's a waste of words to try
and talk with him." said the pretty
caller. with another sigh. "I saw a
dream of a bonnet down town the 9TH
er day, and the price was just what
you say you gave for vours-S25. But
when I mentioned the price my hus-
band flew into a rage and declared that
$40 was every cent he could advance
TO me TO buy a bonnet with. and IL I
couldn't make that do / would have to
do without"
Exactly" commented the lady OF
the house, dryly. You can't expect
any other treatment when you ap-
proach your husband like that. Nv
husband acts Just the same way when
/ ask him for money But this crea-
ture called man Ia verv easily hand
led IL you 40 about II In the right way.
Now, when i saw this bonnet down
town j made up my mind that I would
be the happy possessor Of Ii. so that
night. after supper. ! began going into
rsptures over a bonnet that I had seen
while shopping. the price of which
afterthought. that I had quite made
up my mind TO buy il.
What! roared my husband. $50
for a bonnet? I guess not! You'u
have to put up with s25, and not a cent
more do you geti'
