The following week Miss DalrympIe
moved into her new home with ali her
household; and one morning when I had
been to settle affairs with Captain Ran
ger, walked across the meadow. climbed
over the fence that separated Il from
the Dingle paddock, and made my way
to the Cottage. l found everything IN
its place, and the whole house as neat and
comfortable as II the tenants had been
there a year.
1t seemed to me that had never seen
Nurse Gertrude to such advantage. Black
was certainly becoming to her, and her
dress Vas, to my eyes. the perfection Of
grace and elegance, giving fullness to her
figure which. as / have said before, was,
In my opinion. a trlhe too slight. Her
carriage was never wanting In dignity,
but thought she bore herself with the
air Of one conscious OF being mistress Of
the house. Yet there was no stiffness or

Swatted Twice IN the Same Place.

While up to the present season it
has always been notorious fact
that the suburban villa of Eveleth
never had a ball team worthy the
name, the contests at the kveleth
park on Saturday and Sunday-in
which the Virginia team met suc-
cessive defeats-evidenced the fact
that Eveleth has this year acquired
not only bunch of ball-tossers but
in the person of Umpire Richards
has man who is there to help save
the money.
In Saturdays game his work was

his men from the field in the ninth,

ElaQ Day, Jsv0e l4tk.

Sunday next, June 14th, will be
the l3ist anniversary of the adop-
tion of the flag of our nation, and
in many places throughout our
land a public observance of the day
will be celebrated.
On the 14th day of June. 1777, con-
gress enacted: "That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes, alternate red aud white;
that the Union be thirteen stare,
white, in a blue field, representing
a new constellation" The number
of the stripes having been increased
by the admission of new statea, the
possibilities of the nations future
development dawned upon our faith
ers, and the original thirteen stripes
were unchaugeably restored to the
national emblem by act Of congress
on April 1, 1878, when it was enacted
"That from and after the fourth day
of July next, the flag of the United
States shall be thirteen horizontal
stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union be twenty stars,
white, in blue field, and that on
the admission of a new state into
the union one star will be added to
the union of the flag: aud such ad-
dition take effect on the fourth day
of July next, succeeding such ad-
mission" Since 1918 the stars of
sovereign states have been added to
the union armament until forty.tive
stars now deck the emblem.

seven young men, and although
the program was unavoidabiy long
it was listened to with most flatter

the pupils acquitted themselves
with honor alike to their own
ability and the efficiency of the in.
structors- under whose guidance
they have attained the goal for
which they sought, and step forth

council, however, took no definite
action, understanding that the mat

pleasant courtesies between ceftain
of the committee and a couple Of
the aldermen lent a lurid hue to the
scene for the moment.
