 QUIT COUNCIL
ALDERMAN SoRRELLs, DEFEAT. ED IN STREET RESOLUTION,
 SAID HE WOULD RESIGN.
Clash Came Up Over Work on Whit tineton Avenue. Which Alderman Weimar Insisted Was Neces-
 sary.

After declaring that he would re- sign not alone from the caairmanshp of the streets and alleys committee, but that he would not stay in the council five minutes" after being de feated by Alderman Weimar in pro posal fer street work on Wilmington avenue, Alderman Sorrells last night was about to make good his threat when mediation interyened. and after several aldermen interested themsel- yes in an adjustment of the contro- yrsg the olive branch of peace was extended, accepted. and harmony pre- vailed.
 The clash came up over work to be done in the matter of putting side walks to grade on Wilmington ave nue. Alderman Weimar insisted that he had been trying to get the work done for long time and failed, so ae asked the council to pass a resolution ordering the work started not later than February 20.
 Alderman Scrrells, chairman of the streets and alleys work, opposed viz orously the resolution, and stated that work in other parts of the city was more important.
 There were present in the council Aldermen Ellis. Stearns, Strauss, Mclaughlin, Little, Weimar, Sorrens and Mooney. On the test vote all voted for the Weimar resolution but Alderman Mooney.
 II wouldn't stay in the counch five minutes" shouted Alderman Sorrells, at once on his feet when the vote was announced. He declared he would resign and have nothing more to do with city affairs, and picked up his hat Twice he left his seat hat in hand, but each time listened to inter- vention from other aldermen, who wanted to avert a rupture in the coun- cil
 Alderman Stearns went so far as to state he would pay for the work aim- self, rather than see a breach. Alder men Strauss, Little and Stearns took an active part in attempting to settle the controversy, and it was later se- tied ny the withdrawal of the resolu- ion, Alderman Weimar making the mc*'on in the interest of harmony. A retitoin was read asking for the acceptance Of the sewer on Ledwidge street, which was referred to the sew CT committee.
 A petition was read declaring the bridge on Ozark street unsafe, and Iasking that it be fixed with concrete 'arch, which was referred to the streets committee.

They were rich or richish. though with
a trail Of trade behind them, and the
girl was pretty or prettyish.
He had cannily refused the invita-
ton. pleading many engagements diff
icult to keep if visiting. but he could
easily explain the late call by lightly
recounting the story Of his misfor-
tune, making a jest Of it and throwing
himself on the family's mercy. He
hoped and believed that they would
insist upon his staying all night in
their house; also that a loan sufficient
to pay his hotel bill and redeem his
luggage might be suggested.
The prospect Of release from all his
woes was so soothing and apparently
so easy to compass that the mere
thought was a warming cordial. Val
walked briskly back into Fifth avenue
and asked the way Of the first man he
met. He found Park avenue a digni-
fed street and with the ~pleasantest
a~nticipations ran up the steps Of the
Beverlys' house, the number Of which
had fortunately stuck in his memory.
There were lights in all the windows
Of the two lower floors. and as he
pressed the electric bell he saw a
shadow fit across the half transparent

thank goodness" he said to himself as
he waited for the door to open. and a
sense of calm we'll being fell upon him
with the assurance that his troubles
were v e at last.
A neat servant was soon framed
against a yellow background Of cheer
full light, and at some distance, screen
ed in shadow. the man who had fol-
lowed Loveland waited nee more
with a certain anxiety in his eyes.
Val inquired for Mr.. and Mrs. Bev-
erly. They were at home. said the
servant. in the living room, with a
party of relatives who had come to
welcome them back after their visit to
Europe. If the gentleman would step
into the reception room and send up
his card Mr.. and Mrs. Beverly would
no doubt be down in a minute.
"But when people are at home one

ways. Tell your master and mistress
that Lord Loveland has called, but
will not keep them long from their
friends" said Val. growing impatient
under the mans narrow look.
The servant resented the suggestion
that as a free man in a free country
he could have a master and mistress.
And a Lord Anybody sounded like a
practical joke to him. for. though he
had begun by being a Swede. he had
been an American since he was short
coated. However. he was we'll train
ed, according to his lights and the fam
lily traditions Of the Beverlys. He
ushered the practical joker into a
handsome drawing room and vanished
upstairs to explain the odd young gen
tleman who never announced himself
with cards.
The Sc. want returned with a grave
face. Indeed. it could not have been
more solemn if he had come to break
the news that all Lord Loveland's sur
viving relatives had persisted together
in a holocaust.
"Mr. and Mrs. Beverly I very sor
ry, sir" said the man. "but they are
too much engaged to see anybody to
night"
Val rose haughtily. "Ill trouble you
to open the door," he said as the serv'
ant stood petriied. And so once more
Lord Loveland was thrown upon the
hospitality Of the streets. The fitting
shadows were gone from the windows
which still cleaned cheerily. But they
were dark to the outcast's heart.

and almost he found it in his heart to
respect a mar with executive ability
to accomplish SO swift. so sweeping.
so secret a revenge.
"The old fellow must have had a
busy day" Loveland thought. half
amused on top of hunger and discour-
agement. He pictured the major run

lunch time up to the last moment be-
fore dressing for dinner prejudicing
all the friends made on board the
Mauretania against the Englishman
to whom he had proudly introduced
them.
And. besides. one must grant a GER
tain cleverness to a brain able to
weave grounds of prejudice against a
~person-nay. a personage-important
and unimpeachable. as Loveland con-
sidered himself to be. How Cadwal-
lader Hunter had done it Val could
not imagine. But that the mysterious
thing which had been done was the
majors work he did not doubt.
Loveland had conscientiously dis
tributed all the letters in the after
noon and had put the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel as a New York address IN his
visiting cards. Now. owing to unfore-
seer circumstances another name for
the majors vindictiveness,, that ad-
dress was his no longer. When peo-
pie called. as no doubt they would do
tomorrow. they were likely to find
that he had vanished into space. Yes.
without doubt the best thing he could
do was tt call tonight at one Of the
houses where he had alighted in the
afternoon. He would walk to the near
est one: but. now be came to think Of
it. which was the nearest and Of

remember the street and number? He
went over the eight or nine names in

he could not say which number. which

This was q dilemma, almost a calam-
ity. But one address seemed to stand
out before his eyes. a number in Fifth
avenue. and he thought it was a Mrs.
Arson who lived there. The house was

admired it. and as it was not far up

volving door. He himself strolled on,
but he did not go far. When he had
taken a dozen steps he wheeled, passed
the hotel again. took a dozen more
steps and again came back.
It was when he had just taken his
sixth turn that Loveland shot out
through the revolving door even more
suddenly than he had shot in. The
watcher was near enough to see the
look on his face-the tenseness Of the
lips and drawing together of the eye

if there had been any one there to read
it. But Loveland was entirely alb
sorbed in himself and in bitter
thoughts of the hateful experience he
had just gone through.
1t was hardly to be hoped that there
would be a room disengaged in a hotel

an exposed white shirt front. no lug

Then Loveland had squared his
shoulders and marched out into the

illness and humiliation, and his heart

A hot wave of rage swept over Love-

few moments earlier.
This time there was a discouraged
droop of the head and shoulders, a
dragging hesitation in the gait. which
seemed to show that the wanderer did
not know what his next move ought
to be-.
At last the watcher decided that he
had waited long enough. The English
man had come to the end Of his tether.
