Eufaula, September 7.-(SpeciaD - The record of the fire department of this city is regarded a most excellent one and the chief and his corps of assistants are being congratulated upon their splendid achievement for the past year or more.
 While the calls have been numerous all over the residential section for the past twelve months the loss to the property owners will not reach 5000 for that period of time and this is in face of the fact that some difficulty has been experienced in securing. and training horses that are still used to the trucks.
 While no official statement has been given out 1t is firmly believed that the city council has under serious ad- visement the matter of installing an automobile hose wagon within the next 90 days
 An effort is on foot among the busi- ness men to secure by private subscrip- tion funds sufficient to erect beau- tiful electric sign to advertise the city imemdiately upon the completion of the municipal lighting plant, plans for which have already been submit ted. The slSn Will occupy d cOuSplCu- ous position on Broad street facing the depot.

mother, eh? So the story goes Well, l if her mother was like her, I don't wonder"
 "You are misinformed, MT. Trent, , replied Miles, his eyes fixed humor- ously upon the girl. 'They fought about the ownership of the Swan Weir meadow, which remains unde- cided to this day"
 70 ho! That was it. How came it that there was a. doubt about the matter?"
 Miss Tarlton simply. could not re- frain from giving them short chap ter from the County Gazetteer which existed in her retentive brain.
 "You see, Trent" she said, as frig- idly as was consistent with politeness, "the Wilmots, though of county blood, were strangers in Yeoshire. They had not, like the Umfravilles, held their position from time imme- morial Miss Wilmot's grandfather,
 
 place, known as Swan Weir, adjoin- ing the Umfraville estate. He was under the impression that the Swan Weir meadow. and the fishing in the stream which flowed through it, were included in his purchase. Old Sir James, the great-uncle of Sir Miles. maintained that this was not so, and there was a great deal of quarrellin3 and going to law about it.''
 And what, in your opinion, are the rights of the matter, ma'am?" asked Trent, with so much deference that Miss Tarlton was indirectly fattered.
 "I dare not presume to give re- ply" she returned. "Old Mrs. Bald win. who holds the little property now. bought it on the express under standing that the Swan Weir mead ow was not included. And think l am right in saying that Sir Miles is 1 looked upon as the owner?" 'I haven't any idea whether I'm the owner or not" said Miles laughing. 'If were sure it belonged to me, I would make a present of it to you, | Miss Wilmot. But see no way of set thing the affair, for as don't know whose it is, I cannot buy it, as | should like to do.''
 "But if the, present owner of the other property expressly has not got it. does not that make you the own- er?" asked Vernon with interest.
 "Of course it does," said Jem l Anybody but Umfraville would take it and say no more about it. Mrs Baldwin would be glad to rent it. Diner is served" said Brooke at the door; and Miss Tarlton's nervous tremors were allayed when Sir Miles | offered her his arm, though she had privately felt sure that this would be so, since Jem must take the bride, and MT Trent the hostess.
 Vernon went in with the Vicar There was really nothing to be said about MT. Turpin, except that he was elderly and had a bed-ridden wife and no living children, though the church yard contained many inscrlp. tions to the memory of various short lived infants. Perhaps the witherine of his earthly hopes had cast a gloom over his spirit. He was nervous, de- pressed and dyspeptic. He was a type not previously encountered by the girl from Vancouver. He could not have been much over fifty, but he seemed to have no interests in life end no opinions upon any subject She said as much, afterwards. in the
 drawing-room, to Sir Miles, who l darkly replied
 "Ah. wait till you get him on the 1 subject of diet"
 | Diet" echoed Vernon, as thougI, the selection of such a subject was inconceivable; and Sir Miles laughed | heartily.
