Nothing else clearly for long time.
She stood upon the steps, giving him

She was young and tall-foolish. OF
course-else why did she lay hsr cheek

where she knew the Kings rider was
wont to lay his hand? If her eyes had
been clear she would not have failed
to notice a riders approach, even
though his mount was a housekeeping
mule
The rider also was young and tall
possibly also foolish-and like Baby,

outline, the same delicateiy angular
profile dropping inward the least b

CLEAN UP The CITY.

The president Of the board of
health has recently called attention
to an ordinance providing certain
penalties for failure to cut weeds
and remove rubbish from vacant lots;
IN tho city limits.
1t should not be necessary for the
health authorities to call attention
to the ordinance In question. since
the property owners OF the city
should voluntarily keep the weeds
and rubbish off Of vacant lots in tho
city limits. The conditions com.
planned Of are not conducive to civic
beauty and are said by competent
physicians to be menace to the
health of the community.
1t is to be hoped that there will
he prompt response to the notice
published by the board of health
II there is not the proper authori
ties sould see that the law is en-
forced no matter who may fall be
meath the operations of its pen
alties.
