LOOP THE LOOP.
Member From North End Entertained
 With "a Speech.

The Loop the Loop club held an out. Ing last Sunday in the easterA- part of the city and delegates from all sections were there. In all there were about eighty present. Patrick Donahue, president. made the address of well come. Patrick phelan, secretary, also made a speech. William Quigley gave an exhibition Of bis prowess as q whistler. A few selections on the vio- lin were given by Michael Doyle, and John Cavanaugh set the whole, audi eIice laughing with his jokes. k
 The feature of the occasion, however, was a speech from sthe delegate from the north end; Michael Claffey. It has been many years since MT Claffey trod the soil of the east end, and he appar- ently made this the occasion of mak- ing himself heard upon matter of vital interest to himself and all who travel North square.
 'tSince the square was paved" said he, mot less than half dozen people have been drowned there, though noth- ing was said in the press about their deaths. On every rainy day 1t harrows up the blood to see tho risk of being drowned people run while crossing North square. Ex-Commissioner O. Public Works Jim Whitingg who is partly responsible for the square, came near being drowned there last week, and several times has the bridge that built from Fogg's corner to O'Brien's bakery been swept away by the flood. A man was making g good living run ming ferry there, but Street Inspector Hotchkiss put him out of business by confscating his boat. The last rainy day the slush and dirt came down from Bishop street ill such large quantities that 1t was the means of saving many lives It was borne on the raging tor rent until 1t was swirled into little islanas which served as stepping stones. Icy were like oasis in the desert of Sahara, and by this means people were easily enabled to cross the square without getting their knees wet, If this month turns out to be as wet as 1t was last June, think there would be d good thing in it for some one to build q line of ships or floats, for enough people pass that way at noon and o'clock when the shops get out tc pay g man n large salary. Such Is
 e kick of those who must needs pass on North square on rainy days. Gen tlemen, thank you for your forbear- ance." Great applause.

CHAPTER v.
Whoae Waa the peed7

Dolores was waiting for something
TO happen. A vague terror possessed
her, she could not have defined II
had she tried; she did not try. Young
Green's face seemed to haunt her,
She watched her father continually
while he was In the house, for a sort
OF fascination was upon her. and abe
could not keep her eyes from his face,
She could not explain the terror
that possessed her. but her whole
llstless nature was aroused. She was
different, and her life was somehow
different. she knew E9t how.
The slow days passed. It seemed to
her, with even more slowness than
was their wont. Every morning the
red sun arose out OF a veil OF haze
from the mountain beyond the val
Icy; every evening he sank behind
the gray peaks in the west.
Nothing happened after all; life
was atagnant; the sun arose and set (;
the haze hung more dense aud thick
over the mountain peaks. No rain
fell; nothing happened. Nothing hR?
