gestiye looks. She had doubtless heard
Miss Hallidays remark.
Recovering himself with an effort,
he repeated his words. II have but
one recollection Of Mrs. Webb that l
can give you. Years ago, when l was
n lad, was playing on the green with
several other boys. We had had some
dispute about a lost ball, aud 1 was
swearing angrily and loud when l sud-
denly perceived before me the tall form
and compassionate face of Mrs. Webb.
She was dressed in her usual simple
way and had basket ON her arm,
but she looked SO superior to any other
woman had ever met that did not
know whether to hide my face in her
skirts or to follow my first impulse and
| run away. She saw the emotion she
had aroused, and, lifting up my face
by the chin, she said: Little boy, I
have buried six children, all of them
younger than you, and now my hus-
band and myself live alone. Often
and often have wished that one at
least of those darling infants might
have been spared us. But had God
given me the choice Of having them
die young and innocent or of growing
up to swear as I have heard you today
should have prayed God to take them
as he did. You have mother. Do
not break her heart by taking the name
Of the God she reveres In vain.' And
with that she kissed me, and, strange
us it may seem to you, in whatever
folly or wickedness 1 have INDUCED,
have never made use of an oath from
that day to thls-and thank God for
it,"
There was such unusual feeling in
his voice, feeling that none had ever
suspected him capable of before, that
Miss Halliday regarded him with as
tonishment and quite forgot to indulge
in her usual banter. Even the gen
tlemen sat still, and there was mo-
mentary silence, through which there
presently broke the homogeneous sound
Of shrill and mocking laugh.

PROMPT ACTION WANTED.

some immediate action by the Guy
Council on the report OF the commit

II was decided by the Joint commit

aided in the water bond issue, that the

OF the bonds should be expended IN
making a new dam and IN lowering the
channel, as far as the funds would CO.
with the expectation that means would

that the city Council would act on
