Eben again went away, and grate- ully-gratefully, because the maids inability to sum up the damage done gave him an excuse to call again. He did. And couventionally! Not out of the clouds.
 Several months passed, and it de veloped that the girls name was May Greyson, and, although she lived alone and operated the farm with the help of hired man, she was city bred. Her well kept land had been left her by doting uncle. She was an orphan.
 Eben and the girl became great friends-and more than friends. One day the air skipper proposed To his surprise he was refused. Humbled in heart. he left the house.

 Eben didn't insist. He went away. He strove to forget the girl. Fate decided otherwise.
 On bright day in August, Eben broke from the usual manner of his coming and fell through the roof of the Greyson domicile Also, he broke one arm and three ribs. Furthermore, he was unconscious for some length of time. When he came back to mum dane things he was on a low couch, and a hurriedly summoned doctor was Investigating the extent of his in juries
 It was after the doctor had gone that the one maid in all the world for him came and knelt by the couch and whispered:
 ''I was wrong, Eben, when-when I refused you the other day. You are a veritable gift of the gods. Three times you have come to me from the skies and I am afraid that if I don't marry and reform you you will be bat tered beyond hope"
 Eben had one good arm remaining. This crept up and around the maid by his side.

The future lighting of the streets

ton, the ACCESSIBILITY of signing a con-
tract with the Pacific Gas & Elec-
trio company and TO receive sugges-
tons as to the proper price and the
length of time for which the contract
should be made, if made at all.
Whether the council will deem the
discussion of tonight sufficient for

There has been considerable agi-

Vote on Lewis Franchise
Put OFF Indefinitely
FINANCING WAS DELAYED
Moreover, Promoter Says
He Could Not Secure Nee
essary Materials In the
Time at Hand.-Wants
Six Weeks More.

The election that was 10 have been
held today on the question of granting
10 r. Allyn Lewis a franchise for the
operating of an electric street railway
in this city. was Indefinitely postponed
at a special meeting of the city cOun-
ell held last evening. The action was
taken on the request OF Mr.. Lewis
who explained his reasons 10 be as
follows:
The franchise calls for the begin
ming OF construction within -four
months This could be done by q
bluff. the throwing up of a grade and
some other preliminary work, but real
construction cannot be successfully
undertaken until steel, ties and other
material can be assembled, so that
the work will be done economically
and To advantage. Mr.. Lewis has
found that he cannot procure even
second hand steel anywhere on the
coast within the time at his disposal.
nor can he get it from the mills be
fore that time.
Moreover. he has letters showing
the temporary engagements in more
important matters. of the New YORK
man on whom ne is depending tn
finance the enterprise, and which
engagements will take him until after
the first of January. That will throw
back Mr.. Lewis plans for some weeks
Before the election can proceed Mr.
Lewis must put up a bond of $4,000
10 carry out his contract. If he rams
tn get the project under way within
four months he forfeits the bond.
Time would therefore begin running
against Mr. Lewis from today, in the
event the franchise carried. Rather
than take the chances of making good
in four months. with his financing de-
layed and material hard to secure
Mr.. Lewis asked the council to hold
off n few weeks before putting the
franchise up 10 the people. He says
ne feels certain the gentleman on whom
he is depending will be here early in
January and that he will be ready tc
ask that the question be put 10
vote the latter part of next month
II will cost him another 5000 oil
thereabout for readyertising and cleo
ton preliminaries but that is far bet
ter than risking his $4,000 bond and
the FORGETTING of the franchise by In
ability to comply with its terms.

NOT a PAID WRiTE-UP BUT a
TRUS STORY.
Boys Find Ripe Melons on the Canai
Bank and Go Swimming to
c.. ITEM.

Here is a story filled full of meat
for boosters, and garnished with all
kinds of local color; it also contains a
moral, and is the best tale that the
writer has heard recently.
The members of a Phoenix family
we'll known for their love of fine
horse-fles and all of Gods good out
OF doors, were enjoying one of their
accustomed rides, accompanied by some
eastern friends. Their road led along
the south side of the Arizona canal
about one-half mile from the cross
cut canal. when they noticed boy, n
horse and a buggy standing by the
side Of the ripping water. and al
most simultaneously they caught sight
of the barred backs of three small
something's. which for the sake OF
euphony and delicate sensibilitfes,
will be called Cupids. On the north
bank of the canal just opposite the
boy and the buggy, reposed three dere-
lict watermelons. whose seeds had
probably been carried there by pic
nickers. or deposited at flood time,
which had taken root and had grown
resting place.
II was away along at the last end Of
tile fall, when the smell of the Thanks
giving turkey fills the air and our
eastern brothers are getting out their
bob sleds, that these unconventional
melons ripened and Were spiei by the
Cupids and the properly clothed boy
with the buggy. The sandals. as ones
Mexican friends call them, were tempt
! ing, the water was warm and the boys
were hungry; the result needs ne
description. The moral is that thu
home folks would have passed on thefr
way. giving no thought to the affair
except to smile at the boys fun, had II
not been for their friends from the
| frozen states who thought that the
| fact of seeing lads eating watermel-
ons while i'm swimming the latter pari
! OF November. to be exact 1t was tins
