Keats was an apothecary's prentice.
The conversation Of Carlton Cross be-
came less and less interesting. Being
no lover of flowers himself, it did not
occur to him that the little velvet leaves
were his rivals.
When Tom came home that night he
found Miss Latch on the porch. She
was still holding the panses in her
hands. He walked to the chair beside
her.
Il thought you said you were sitting
there already" said Miss Latch, with
touch of mischief.

For long time she was still. Then
she began:

She paused, and Tom leaned toward
her His hand covered hers, crushing
the flowers.
"Thisbe," he pleaded softly, "do you
care for me?'-
The hand he held answered for her.
Tom rose from his chair and kissed the
girl on the lips.
A little later he said, you don't
know how much afraid l was, sweet
heart, to leave you here for those long
sunset talks with another man"
You needn't have been" she answer
ed happily. "The sunset and the twi-
light seemed to belong to you. The
more he talked the more dreamed Of

the sight of the happiness of others,
stood side by side and gazed with long

A small girl of twelve or fourteen,
with face unnaturally old and sharp,
unsmiling eyes, critically examined the
tree in silence. Up and down, from
side to side, her keen gaze wandered.

finally muttered.

ON THE

Every day when it did.Ao rain, and
sometimes when it did, Ihisbc Latch
wandered off into the woods or down
along the river and came back at night
with some added grace from natures
wild treasury. She had run away for
rest and health TO the little parenthesis
in the country that called itself Il town.
She got a good deal besides these gifts.

Mrs. Redding kept the house. She
had only 4 few guests. Tier son Tom

principle went. But when the practice
happened to include Thisbe Latch he

It was better for his mother to have

A MATTER FOR COUNCIL.

Those of our citiznes whose avoca-
tions Saturday night or yesterday led
them over the canal culvert at Ferry
street beheld good object lesson to
show what may follow when the au-
thorities fail to exact of the masses u
proper respect for. the municipality or
tolerate practices that are out of all
accord with cleanliness, hygiene and
civic pride.
That the old canal, an eyesore to be-
gin with, has been rendered double
unsightly by the dumping of ashes and
what not over the banks alfl along the
edge of the culvert under the pretense
of aiding to fill up the old water way
is one of those facts that are self evid-
ent. This is bad enough, but as the
offenders are not interfered with it is
not strange that the practice has been
carried further. The acme was reach
ed on Saturday when one individual
dumped big load of trash right on
the culvert in the middle of Ferry
street. The term trash" is used ad-
visedly, as among the contents with
ashes as a base were turkey feathers,
demned potatoes. The load was not
even properly leveled over, but seemed
literally dumped on the street, the
driver no doubt finding excuse in the
fact that there was slight depression
in the ground on that, spot. By last
evening the deposit was pretty well
leveled over by the action of the wheels
passing, when the above named ar
ticles We're some which had worked
their way to the surface.
OF course our Borough Council will
never tolerate anything like this. Be-
sides the man who dumped the trash
ON the spot is liable to arrest for viol-
ating the State law passed by the last
Legislature, which prohibits the cast
ing of trash of this or any other sort
upon the streets of any Borough. 1t is
certainly somebody's duty to get busy
at once and discover who dumped the
trash in the street.
The next thing that Council should
do is to stop once and for all the dump
ing of ashes and all that is implied by
the name into the canal. If the old
waterway is to be filled up go about it
in some well sustained systematic way
that will bring results and not encour-
age niggartlly and slovenly practices
that only add to the eyesore.
Again, if street in the heart of the
Borough needs filling up let some ma
terial suitable for road building ba
selected and not lot of stuff that is
disgusting to the eye and that will be
scattered over the square by the first
wind that rises.
Civic pride should be cultivated
which can not be accomplished in IA
better way than by enforcing the Bor-
ough ordinance, which prohibits the
dumping of ashes anywhere within
the Borough. What a strangers i'm
preston might have been who entered
town by way of Ferry street yesterday
it would be hard to imagine.

The ocean is prevented from freezing
