Many of our readers will remember
DIR. and Mrs. Lundwell, who were

Shake up Fire Department

The city councilh has at last awakened
to the necessity Of putting prod into
the fire department. This department
Of the city affairs has been allowed TO
get on by itself the best way that il
could for some time and the council
mas come to the conclusion that there
must be something doing
II II proposed on some sides TO do
away with the independent fire or
ganization and to bring the fire de-
partment directly under the control OF
the council, This step Is considered
TO be the wise one by all who have
given the subject any thought and it
is probable that something of this
nature will be done IN the near future,
Judging from the temper Of the
council.

He Said Amen.

II said. Amen when / read your
editorial on the placing Of that arc
light at the corner Of Third street and
Crystal Avenue said prominent
business man to the writer one day
during the week.
ITS shame that light was not
placed there long ago. don't have to
go over there any more frequently than
the average person in town but every
time have been over there / have
remarked 20 myself how necessary a
light il at that corner.
And. now while we're taking,
want % endorse an other idea that has
been discussed, 10 a limited extent and
that Is the abolition Of the board OF
public works and the placing OF the
city's entire business in the hands Of
the.council was opposed 20 the pro-
position when first advanced but now
am very much in favor of doing
away with that extra board just as
soon as Il is possible to do So
"My reason Is that 20 many cooks
spoil the broth. as the old saying is
One board directly responsible 10 the
people and another board responsible
10 no one. is not an arrangement that
is likely TO produce harmony in a
small place like this. II the coancil is
delayed in its work by the board Of
public works the councilmen are the
ones that get the blame from the people
when as matter Of fact they are not
10 blame The people cant get az the
board of public works but they do get
a chance at the council each year and
can remedy any defect tnat they feel
exists. | believe that better results
would be obtained with but one board.

was new to me and StendhalI charmed
my fancy as type Of the most mon.
strous pnoduct Of our era, the throned
brigand Of industry.
The bread window whence came the
light In waVering tTacery around the
edges Of the curtain had once been
pointed out to me as belonging to the
room where Stendhall received the most
intimate Of his visitors and concocted
Bis most intricate conspiracies. He, in.
deed, formed many alliances and seem
ed to have no need OF caution, distrust-
ing all men, but fearing none, scorning
treachery, often betrayed, yet never TO
his hurt.
As l watched, the light was slowly
lowered. Frugal Stendhall, being about
to leave the room for little whils, had
4
a gleam through a panel Of stained
glass upon stairway. Then the door
of the house was opened and two men
appeared. They were no more than
shadows under the overhanging, heavy
roof Of the stone pilIared portico, yet
one Of them was so tall that it must
be Stendhall. The other disclosed no
recognizable characteristic. They walk
ed slowly along the portico, which end
ed at the wall Of an adjoining build
Ing. For perhaps two minutes they
were invisible to me. Then Stendhall

If his manner had been ordinary

for so many years had called my
friend. He lay dead at my feet, a re-
golver upon the noor beside him.
l learned subsequently that he had
received blow upon the head, doubt
less in Stendhalrs house, and that he
had been found wandering in the
streets not far away, While being LED
home he had recovered and had insist
ed upon going on alone.
By no exercise Of ingenuity or pa
tience or use Of such influence as
could command have ever been able
to involve Stendhalf in any criminal
prosecution for this affair. The secrets
Of his house were unniscoVerabIe. Be
yond my own evidence as to Ham,
monde entry by the private way
could offer nothing. That did not prove
the manner Of the assault upon him.
When Stendhall found that he had TAX

that I was forced to be content. The

Once at the window, my difficulties
were over. There were a fair footing
and a hold for my hands, but could
see nothing. The window was a little
way open, and the draft was outward,
so that the curtains edges seemed
glued to the casing. Ny excitement
was maddening, and the minutes were
endless. Then suddenly the current of
air changed. The curtain swung some
inches inward, and l could see into the
room.
Stendhall stood with his back toward
me. looking across a broad table to the
door, which an III favored fellow who
seemed to be servant had just open

hand. He advanced and gave it to

look. I expected a prompt response to
my ring. Instead there was a long
wait, during which 1 had a strange
sense of being scrutinized by hidden
eyes.
Upon the farther side. Of StendhaIrs
house there was carriage way closed
by heavy gates, which suddenly were
rolled aside. a closed carriage rolled
out into the road, and I thought 1 heard
a muf1ed cry from within it. Clearly
