And then Rachel hummed low tune,
to show how much she was at ease.
Other days went by, and Rachel
pushed the machine back against the
wall. There is no haste" she said.
81 am a little tired Of sewing so long.
I think ! will rest for a few days"
And she rested, not being strong
enough to go on a picnic with her
lover and the family, and feeling too
tired for the walk to church. Bess
grew more irritable, and began letters
and threw them into the fire, and
started books, and forgot how far she
had read.
II think | shall go to the city and
find employment" she suggested;
and Rachel turned upon her with a
pale face.
'1Bess, you shall not go!" she cried,
with a little desolate wall in her
voice. Just stay here-it will ali
come right. IL need you to stand
by me. You see--l-I am not quite
sure whether will marry Fred-after
all. am not positive that love him
and one ought to be very sure,
don't you think so?" And with lips
white and trembling, she looked into
Bessie's, eyes
The next day Bess went out for a
walk, and before the walk was fin.
lshed she was on her way to see
Ethel, leaving a saucy, merry little
note behind her. I'm not a very use
full creature" she said to herself, but

Rachel was very pale when she me:
her lover.
"Bess has gone away she said
quietly, with her eyes on his face
She grew a little restless, suppose
and she has gone over to Arkwright
to see a friend Of hers"
"Yes?" said Mr.. Arnold with friend
ly inquiry. She'll come back to our
wedding, OF course?"
Rachel's face grew rosy red under q
sudden rush of color
DO you-do you still--want US to
be married." she whispered and his
look of utter amazement was sufficient
answer.
You haven't been like yourself
since Bess came home" he said wrath.
fully. Somehow she didn't take n
fancy to me-though tried with all
my might to win her over. Never
mind-it's all right now"
Half an hour later he tried to cal;
her down from that upper room
where the machine was making a
steady whir, as Of whole colony OF
exceedingly busy bees.
Come down to the orchard-lts
lovely under the trees. What are you
doing there, anyhow, Rachel?"
Sewing the long white seam" she
murmured, as she rose to answer his
call; and Bessle's legacy Of peace wa:
on her face as she went.

OFFICIAL CANVASS

Mayor Cook appointed l.. Ell
lott and c. w. Potter to "serve a.
members of the board to EXAMINE
the ballots Of the election of Apri
ard, in accordance with the pro
visions of the charter" The boart
met last night with the recorder
and counted the ballots, and fount
the returns incorrect In some minoi
details. Several ballots which tn,
election board counted and Tailed
were thrown out. The only changes
were in the total vote of some Of the
candidates, but not in the personnel
Of the new city government.
The question of the right of the
canvassing board to count the bal
lots, instead Of merely canvassing
the returns, has given rise to much
animated discussion. In other
words, had the board the right to
go behind the returns, that is the
returns made by the judges and
clerks Of election ?
The charter contains the follow
ing provisions
Sec. IS Immediately after the close ~ the
polls, the ballots shall b. counted and fuil fe.
turns made out aud ccftiGed 10 by the Judges aud
clerks oi election. The ballots shall bc placed

IL seems quite clear that the board
may have exceeded It's authority as
defined by the charter. but as no
material harm has resulted, we can
