In the later part OF the seasons has
never been better than in the two
scasons just past. and ON that ae-
count we will have to consider the
last two years as banner seasons in
regard To- water supply.
The yield OF small grain has not
been quite tip 60 the average for this

satisfactory. aud tho same can he said

Longwood.
And nothing the father could say had any
influence to change his determination.
The policeman came, and the cniprlt was
marched to the station-house. His father
employed lawyer to defend him, but he was
sent to prison for six months
Everyone about the store was glad to get
rid of him, especially Con Wright, for Lamb
made himself very disagreeable to all whom
he met about his work.
That night when Bryan went home, he saw
Tom Lynch standing at the door of his faith
er's house. He had been convicted OF steal
ing three dollars, and his father had that day
paid fine with costs to which the boy had
been sentenced.
Tom was disposed to beat retreat when
he saw his old friend; but Bryan called to
him in the kindest tones. and rather re-
luctantly he consented to speak with him.
He was peenitent and filed with grief over over
place, and now no one would give him anoth,
er. His character was gone, and he talked
Of going to sea. He wept bitterly over his
own folly.
Bryan wanted to do something for him. as
he thought Toms experience would make him
honest in the future, for he had the right

ant smile upon the face of Bryan, instead of
the look of shame and modification he had
expected to see. Bush looked altogether too
good-natured for such an occasion.
"The napkin rings are certainly found IN
Bryan's coat-pocket," said Mr.. Longwood.

told you lies enough about me to sink a
ship and l guess by this time you begin to

"Mr. Bush, will you ask Con to go for

ter to him."
The clerk went to obey the order.

"He is a bigger fighter than / am;> his

In few minutes Mr.. Stryker appeared,
and then Bryan was called upon. to tell his
story, which was, supplemented by that of
Bush. Undoubtedly Lamb had carried out
the spirit of his fathers instructions, but he
had done it in the most bungling manner.
Lamb turned pale; his father clustered and
swore, to the intense disgust of the punctili-
ous Mr.. Longwood, that it was a conspiracy
against his SON Bryan had grudge against
his boy, and this charge was the result Of It.
"As you take this view of the case, I am
compelled to carry it into court" concluded
the employer. "Mr. Bush, ask Con to call a
policeman"
"Surely your honor will not put the poor
how into court for trifie of this sort" inter-
posed Mr.. Stryker. "He is a good boy"
'I don't understand good boys of his sort.

replied Lamb, in savage tone. 81 saw, him
take two silver things out of a case, and put
them in his coat t-poclket, this very morning;
and III bet he has done it more than once.
And if you will look, you'll find the things
in his coat-pocket now, for he hasn't had no
chance to get rid Of them"
Bryan began to understand the matter
which Bush had not had time to explain to
him. Lamb intended to obtain his revenge
in another way, as his fists had failed him.
Perhaps we had better decide this mat
ter" said the employer (Which is your
coat-closet, Bryan"
"The one next to the door. never mind

you'll find the things in the pocket of his
coat" clustered Lamb, scowling at the boy
he hated.
"You may open the closet, if you please,
Mr.. Bush and bring the coat here" proceed
ed Mr.. Longwood.
The clerk unlocked the door of No. IS, and
brought in Bryan's gray overcoat. He put
his hand into one of the side pockets, and
then into the other. The second time he
withdrew it with the two napkin-rings in his
grasp.
: Didn't I tell you so?" exclaimed Lamb,
triumphantly.
But he was rather surprised to see pleas

plain in his own time.
She had entire confidence in him, and she
did not bother him with any questions or re-
proach him for his silence in the house.
The society which he called the B. S. L..
certainly gave Bryan great deal of thought;
for, if there was no interest in it, the boys
would not be willing to attend its meetings
when it had the theatre and no end of
Shows to contend with.
His evenings away from home were spent
with the minister of the Free Chapel
The Rev. Mr.. Sipple was young man, full
of life and spirit, but wholly devoted to his
work as a missionary
Bryan felt the need of help in working out
his great idea, and he had called upon the
pastor with his plan. The object to be accom-
plished was heartily approved, but the de-
tails required great deal of discussion.
The B. S. l.. was to be a secret association
not that it had any momentous matters to
conceal, but because this feature seemed to
have charm to young people.
When he had written it out, Bryan pro-
duced his "work" or "ritual," and the pastor
thought that he must have been a member
of some secret society, or he could hardly
have arranged it SO well. Mr.. Sipple made
no objection to it, though he suggested some
changes, which were made. e.
There was a small room in the Free Chapel

which was granted for the use of the society

spirit to profit by it.
The professors son had gone to the store
that morning with what he considered big
idea in his mind. During the day he had
had no time to think j out; but he spent the
iect.
He worked upon it for three days, and at
the end of that time about twenty boys were
invited to meet at room in the Free Chapel
to form what Bryan called the "B. S. L.

ASK WHY POLES
STAND IN STREET
COUNCILMEN WANT TO KNOW
REASON FOR DELAY
Invite Utility Company Officials to Ex-
plain Inaction Concerning Removal
Lyons Elevator Safety Law
Is Pending

Two questions which will confront the
city council at today's session will refer
to forcing removal Of utility companies
poles from streets to alleys and regulat-
ing elevators to insure greater protection
for human life.
The proposition in the pole case is to
invite the officials of the wire-using COM
panieS to explain why there has been
a delay in shifting the poles off the thor
oughfares.
A date may be set about November
in order to find out what obstacles exist
to removal, as there are many complaints
on file with the board of public works
relative to the many poles still remaining
on the streets of Los Angeles.
These street forests are being removed
In most of the large cities and the out
door organizations are putting pressure
on the council to urge haste.
Councilman Henry Lyon of the Seventh
is father of the elevator ordinance.
The principal feature will be insistence
that the doors shall invariably be closed
before operators start the cages, under
all circumstances.
Councilman Lyon says the cars are
often between floors before the slam is
heard indicating that doors are closed,
the starting lever being pulled simultan-
eously when the door handle is given a
jerk This he thinks is too dangerous
Persons could easily plunge into the open
shafts through this carelessness.
The recent accident to girl in a Broad
way store is an example of what might
happen.
A number of street hearings involving
assessments and other protests will be
heard by the council today.
The o,,Iu oo,1poiIroap xtho Yau hoe q

who will endeavor to get the interna-
tional Young Mems Christian association
to hold it's next convention in Los An

pose.
