REGISTRATION
Oh VOTERS HEAVY
More Than $500 Qualified in
This City
Registration for Three Days Reatht
Over 1900 and Nearly EvuaIS
1898. Total Figures

Interest in the registration reached a
high point on Saturday and when the
registrars closed their books for the
day the total number registered almost
equalled the total figures for the three
days registration two years ago.
A total OF II ,04S voters registered on
the three days of registration, of
which number 5.625 registered on Sat
urday. The entire registration in 1898
was 1906. There is a difference Of
1865 votes, and two more days remain
on which voters may register before
the November elections. The indica-
tions are that nearly 5000 more voters
are not yet registered. When they
have done so the total registration
probably will reach 10000, or 5000
more than in 1898.
Republicans did good work in the
registration, and a greater portion OF
the voters of that party were regis
tered. The interest shows that the
party is excellently organized and that
all voters are alive to the Importance
Of polling the largest possible vote in
order to defeat the Democrats at the
coming election. The Democrats also
worked hard to get out their voters,
but their efforts were far surpassed by
the energy Of the Republicans.
The registration books. which were
turned over to the Republicans this
morning in order that they may be
used in the elections to-day will be re-
turned to the Department Of Elections
this evening Tomorrow they will be
delivered to the Union Republicans FOL
use at their primary elections on Wed
nesday

A lady had issued invitations for a
dinner of twelve, and on the morning
of the appointed day, when comforting
with her footman, she discovered that
one of the twelve silver shells in which
scalloped oysters were to be served.
had been misplaced. Rigid search for
the missing article having proved I'M
availing, the lady decided that, sooner
than give up the course, she would
simply decline oysters when they were
handed to her, and so the eleven shells
would be sufficient.
II happened that when the oysters
were served at dinner the hostess was
engaged in very animated converse
ton with some of her neighbors, and
forgetting her determination, she took
one of the shells of oysters and set 1t
before herself.
If the servants heart fell in conster-
nation at this he gave no external sign

If you are right, and she won't have any

out that she liked me enough" Poor

me of this sooner | would-somehow or

''Ah so you're coming to my view of

rather a grim tone in it.

There has always been work for me at

was prevented by cold"
1t is a disappointment me to hear
that you are going so SOU. he said af-
ter a little silence; but even to have
seen you this once has been a great

making great effort TO shake off his

doubtfully.

that, long as I have been away, l hope
to see him again yet"
x you ever find time TO come, / am

But Godfrey thought she spoke rather
coldly.
'You would not find the place much al
tered, - she went on, with little hurry In
her tone. The inn has changed hands;
your old landlord died year or two ago;
and there are a few new people in the
village, but that is all. You remember

Godfrey. Indeed l ought to have re-
membered her, for she was very kind to
me. / am ashamed of not having asked
after her sooner"
ooh, but she is Dead. said jeanne.
is she dead?" cried Godfrey. Dear
me! she didn't look like woman to die.
And those pretty daughters-at least one
of them was very pretty"
You mean Clara? Yes, she is very
pretty. She married long ago. Three of
them are married, and Fanny, the young
est one, lives here in town with Hugh"
All, then has Hugh never got wife?"
and Godfrey, with this question, giving
quick glance at his companion, saw, or
thought he saw. her color rise
NO, he has no wife," she said. But
he and Fanny are very happy together.
Fanny is a nice girl-or rather woman, /
should say, she corrected herself quick
~, with a laugh. But she is younger
than / am"
Yes, three or four years younger, l
suppose" he said. Il remember her very
well. She was about fifteen when | was
at Brentwood, and she was very shy,
You We're nineteen that year, you know"
Yes" she merely said.
He had kept her hand for a few mo-
ments in his. Standing face to face with
her, and looking into the eyes that had
once been so dear to him. he was feeling
keenly that he had wasted this short
hour. 1t seemed to him that, if he could
stay with her now, he could talk differ
emily to her. But the doors of the car
riages were being rapidly closed, and she
was withdrawing her hand. And then
he took off his hat and remained uncov-
cred till the train had swept away.

The Helstones returned home at the
end of May. for Rita's marriage was of
course to take place at Ivor; and on the
Goth of June the little danlsel put on her
orange blossoms, with mixture of trep-
idation and devout rejoicing, and entered
upon her new life.
There's not happier man treading
the earth than / am to-day" Mr.. Dallas
said to Godfrey as he babe good-by to
him; and. heaven helping me, I'll try
to make and keep my little girl happy,
too
Il believe you WILL" Godfrey answered
briefly.
He kissed his daughter, and Jack
wrung his hand, and then the carriage
door was. closed, and the young wife,
and not young husband went their way.
Il am coming home to you, mother"
Godfrey said to Mrs. Helstone when all
the guests were gone: and so they went
together to the Dene, and spent their
quiet evening there.
L couldn't stand any more of the place
just now" he said, as they sat talking
after dinner. Il had been thinking of
shutting it up, you know, but it struck
me only yesterday, that instead of shut
ting it up ! might ask Miss Taylor to
stay and take charge of it; so l have
asked her, and she will do that, and
have her sister with her for company.
Perhaps l may come back to it again be-
fore long; l can't tell yet"
Godfrey spent a few days between Ivor
and the Dene, doing work and making
arrangements of various kinds, and then,
rather abruptly, he said to Mrs. Hell
stone one evening:
Il am thinking of going for a week or
two into Derbyshire. You remember
that place, Brentwood, where Jack and
| were so long ago? Old Beresford is
still vicar there, and I should like to go
and see him and his people,"
"Indeed"' she answered quickly.
