TAKING OF SCHOOL CENSUS
TO STARTED NEXT MONDAY
Purpose Is to Determine Number
of Children Under Primary
School Fund
SPRING APPORTIONMENrMADE

| The school census enumerators for
this district will start next Monday
morning to take the school census for
District No. 1. The census for Dis
trict No 2 will not be started until a
week later.
An erroneous impression prevails
that the taking OF the census Is for
the purpose OF compelling all children
under 16 years Of age to attend school
The census is only for the purpose OF
determining hoy many children of
school age there are so that the pri-
mary school money may be properly
apportioned. the district getting so
much per child
The taking of the school census
should not be confused with the gov
eminent census recently taken. They
are entirely separate. The school CEN
sus secures to Calumet its fair proper
ton of primary school money. 1t is
absolutely necessary that the names
of all children over years of age and
under 20 years of age. in every fam
lily be given the enumerators. as the
omission of each child means loss
of so much per capita to the school
district.
The spring primary school appor-
Torment for the district has already
been made on the basis of $3.50 per
head on S,11O children of school age as
determined by the last school census.
This will give School District No. a
total og S52.715. In District No. 2
there are 1880 children of school age,
according to the last census, which
will give the district total OF $1O,-
9S5.
Thomas ID. Meads has been appoint
ed chief census enumerator for Dis
trict No. 1. II is expected that the
work of taking the school census will
last about three weeks. 1t is believed
that a gain i'm the school census will

THE CRUCIAL MOMENTS.
CHAPTER XII. Z.
Mrs. HaIdane is Surprised.

Mrs. HaIdane Is Surprised.
The Haldane family usually partook
of luncheon together. Breakfast was
an irregular meal taken at different
times by different members of the
household, and dinner usually brought
many engagements which widely sep
arated them A few days after the au-
tomobile ride, while the excitement
over the proposed granting to the
Gotham Freight Traction company of
the New York Street Car company
franchise was still at its height. Mr.
and Mrs. Haldane and their daughter,
after waiting sometime for the arrival
of Livingstone Haldane, sat down to
luncheon without him.
The conversation turned, as it usual
IL did, on the campaign. Haldane
looked worried. Well he might be:
The bold and decisive action of Corn
~, his adroitness in wrestling the
pledge that he had done from the
mayor, the fact that the city was now
thoroughly aroused and as never be-
fore to the situation. were calculated
to increase his anxiety, which had
grown with the progress of the cam
paign. The brilliant stroke Of Gormly
when he offered ten million dollars for
the franchise and thereafter compelled
Warren to declare the granting of 1t
TO depend upon the election had great
~ increased the probabilities Of de-
feat.
There were indications also, which
added to Haldanes troubles, that his
own connection with the Gotham
Freight Traction company would soon
be known, and that there would be dis
c.lsed to New York at the same time

The girl was very nervous and ex-

evident.

went on the man with the blunt hon
esty that somehow appealed to the
woman much more powerfully than
more graceful and romantic wooing
yet If I had to choose now between
you and this great opportunity for
service to the people"
He paused and looked at her again,
wondering how she would receive the
statement he was determined to make.
You would choose the opportunity
for SERVICE" interposed the woman
quickly.
II should have to do so. And yet
you still remain my inspiration" said
the man. ."Your appreciation means
more to me than anything or every
thing else. I don't know what fate

"Yet, there is another thing that 1
ought to say" continued Gormly, and
this was the hardest thing he had ever
attempted, he thought "You have
spoken of my career, of my long and
honorable record, of my unblemished
reputation. have to confess to my
shame that am not altogether worthy
Of your confidence"
What do you mean?"
Ever since I have been in New
York, there is no act of my life that 1
could not tell you myself; but before
that"
You were boy them" said the
woman quickly.
But mingled with life in an ugly
way"
THAT ride in the snow?" she whis-
pered, staring at him in turn.
1t did not occur to him to lay any
emphasis upon or draw any inference
from the fact that she had remem-
bered his remarks of several months
before.
And that other woman, was 1t she
for whom you rode?" she. went on.

Ibid you do anything that makes
you unworthy the respect Of"

ever 1t was, I have repented of it
long since and would have made
amends if could have done so; but
Well. if I ever should come to you
with that question about being my
wife, I will tell you all about it. AS
it is, I don't want even the faintest
shadow of pretense about myself
where you are concerned"
"You were only boy, as you say.
Mr.. Gormly," said Miss Haldane after
q long pause. II don't know what 1t

They were stretching out beyond the

Gorrnly had faced many difficult ST.

full business career had confronted
! him with crises Of moment. But ho
had mover contemplated anything
which imposed go hard task upon
his Judgment and his feelings as the
approaching interview. What means
young Haldane would take to induce
his sister to come with him, how
much Of what had transpired he would
tell her, Gormly had no means Of
ndent that by hook or crook the young
woman would be produced, and that Q
few minutes would find him face to
face with her.
He did not in the least know how
10 begin or what to say, and tho more
be thought of it the more difficult
became the situation. It was we'll
that the time for reflection was short.
It is better for q man who has to do

When Liffey entered the library,

and sinking his voice to whisper lest
he should be overheard by any one.
A look of relief spread over Hal
DANES face as he listened to Liffey's
communication. Are you sure Of it?"
"AlI but sure of it. Well know
definitely in two days. Men are veri-
fyin' the tale, and Cornell and are

no doubt about 1t. though. It's sure

"I'll do It," answered IIaldane reso.

"Keep stiff upper lip. Mr.. Hal

victory against the biggest enemy that
New York has ever seen, you mark

In half an hour Haldane, in answer
to telephone message from his son,
was bowling along upper Fifth avenue

Gormly. tearing open the door, Hal

the hall. When the young man pre-
sented himself, he thus addressed
him: Your father and have had a
rather painful interview, into the de-
tails of which 1t is not necessary to
enter. have only to say that the
story told you goes to the newspa-

his hand, "goodby. wish that we

"But We are going to fight together

fiercely. II love my father, and until

look at the pair. With his heed high
he marched out through the door. DO
