Morton looked at Harbora, and Bar
bara glowed. Then she cast her eyes
on the floor.
ayes, suppose such n building is
in keeping with our social settlement
Plans" Morton replied, somewhat
stiff1y. "But Miss Clark probably
wishes to work out her--plans indie
pendently."
There's such a thing as being too
independent" quoth Mrs. Vane,
sharply.
81 suppose there is answered Bar
bara, family, and then sat silent.
The thought of being in any sense
connected with Mr.. Morton gave her
a feeling of bitter sweet.
"Well, think it overt" Mrs. Vane
continued, with what seemed like un-
necessary sharpness. "I don't know
but that I shall make the gift con-
ditional on its being used in the So
cial settlement plan. So you needn't
ask me for any money to-day, SIR"
she said, turning to Morton.
THANK you, Mrs. Vane. l know
how to take hint" he replied, grave
ly. And then he caught Barbara S
look as she glanced up from the car
pet, and his tone made Barbara laugh
a little nervously. He joined in it,
and Mrs. Vane kept them company.
81 don't know what the joke is
about" she said, at last, as she
rubbed her nose again as il in disap-
pointment.
ITS just as well, perhaps" Nor
ton said. "Some jokes cannot be ex-
planned, not even by the makers OF
them"
He seemed to make no motion to
go, and after a few minutes more OF
general talk about the proposed
house, during which nothing more
was said about the settlement, Bar
bara rose and said she must go, as
she had some work to do before tea
time.
Mr. Morton instantly rose also.
"May l walk with you, Miss Clark
My calls take me your way"
Certainly" Barbara murmured
and they went out together.
Mrs. Vane watched them from tn,
window as they went past. The olC
lady was still rubbing her nose il
some vexation.
"If he isn't thinking a good dea
more of her than of the social set
tlement just now, then I'll give TWEEN
ty thousand towards it instead o
ten" she said, and then added: "The.
couldn't either of them do better
And If he doesn't have sense enougl
to know what is good for him, II
try to help him out"
Barbara and Mr.. Morton walke'
down the street, talking about every
thing except the proposed building
and the social settlement plans. Aft
er the first moment of embarrass
ment at the thought of walking wit
him had passed, Barbara was relieve
to feel quite at her ease. She ha
never looked prettier. She had gif
of vivacious conversation. Mr.. MOI
ton was not her equal in that respect
but he was at his best when he ha
a good talller with him. They ha
| just finished some innocent play a
repartee and were laughing over
when, as they turned the corner to
wards the wards, they met Mrs. Di
lingham and her daughter.
Instantly Barbara's face becam
grave, and Mr., Morton as he raise
his hat seemed equany sober. Tn

New Boiler Plant.

y new boiler plant has been installed
at the Finch Manufacturing company's
shops by Contractor Peter Stipp. The
building is 25X45 feet, one story high
and three boilers Of the Finch make
have been put in service. The site of
the old boiler house will be used for
an SO-fOOt extension of the foundry
building, the foundation for which has
already been laid.
This addition will extend from the
westerly end of the present foundry
to the Lackawanna Railroad tracks,
alongside the roadway leading to the
West Linden street bridge The con-
tract for the superstructure has been
awarded to Lord e. Blltterman, whose
men are now at work putting the
frame work together.
The Finch company is overrun with
orders for mine machinery and other
products of their plant, and they are
continually adding new tools and ma =
chinery TO meet the demands of their
business. The day employees are work
ing full time, and an extra force of men
are working nights to fill orders on
hand.
New men are being employed every
day, and The Tribune is authorized to
announce that u number of first-cluss
mechanics can find steady employment
at the Finch company's shops by APP
plying at their Office

+. B. Smith, superintendent of dining
car service on the Lackawanna rail-
| road. was in The city yesterday.
Work has been commenced at the
Lackawanna passenger station, where
the new telegraph station, news and
information bureau will be installed.
The LackaWanna car accountants
department will be removed from over
the First National bank on Saturday
to the new quarters at the passenger
station formerly occupied by Hanley's

The Erie Railroad will hereafter
carry their coal from their local collier
les by way of the characterization
section over the Lehigh Valley Railroad
instead of over the Jefferson division
as formerly This change will reduce
the number of men on the latter diViS-
ion.
A general outline of the new plant
which McClave and Brooks will erect

the Scranton Nut and Bolt Works, has
been prepared 1t will include II found
ry. machine shops, store rooms. office
buildings. etc, ana the whole plant as
designed will cover II ground areit of
122X36J feet. The contract has nor yet
been given out.
The Wilkes-B Barre News says: "As
u result of the grievances presented
by brakemen on the Wyoming division
of the Lehigh Valley asking for short
ter hours or AN increase in wages the
men have been notified that the latter
has been granted taking effect Decem-
Der |. Brakemen who We're heretofore
paid $l.90 have been advanced To $40

Neither the officials of the Reading
Railroad company nor the officials OF
the Lehigh Valley Railroad company
will discuss the terms upon which
settlement of the claim of the latter
against the former was made. The
only explanation that can be arrived
at is that George f.. Baer, president of
Readings interest, is also in the di-
rectorate of the Lehigh Valley and
that through his instrumentality
claim of eight years standing has been
satisfactorily adjusted. Those who are
best acquainted with the scheme of

JAPANESE MISSIONS.
Miss Pratt, Returned Missionary,
Spoke Last Night.

An interesting talk on missionary
work in Japan was given Wednesday
night in Grace Reformed Episcopal
church by Miss s. A. Pratt, Il young
lady who recently returned from that
far-off eastern land.
Miss Pratt was stationed in Yoko-
hama, and she told of the work which
the Reformed Episcopal church is ac-
complishing in that city by means of
Bible women. These are converted Jap
anese women, who give IL certain num-
Der of years to the work of Christ and
who render invaluable assistance in
converting others of their race. When
a Japanese is truly converted, she said,
he or she nearly always desires to
spend ut least a part of the time in
winning souls to Christ
She told of the revival which has
heen sweeping over Japan for the last
few months, and said that it augured
well for the future conversion of the
entire kingdom.
