being revolts at the manner in which
she has been seized by Ghent. Even

goes back to Boston. But the great
divide has been crossed, and she dis
covers that she loves Ghent. When he
follows her to Boston she discovers her
own soul and returns with him to the
West

That questions OF police administra-

province of the prosecuting attorney
and do not belong to the city council
save in extreme cases was the decis-
ion reached by the councilmen in
meeting Monday night. And hence
the council did not follow up its

which police. health officers, and citi-
zens all came in for share OF prob
ing and receiving Of advice.
1t will be remembered that the

began at the previous regular meeting
of that body when a dozen or more
citizens appeared to make protest re-
garding what they alleged was lack
OF police protection in regard to a
certain house on Spruce street occu-

1t was then that the council dismissed
the matter for that meeting and call
ed further informal hearing at the
next session.
The shifting OF the probe from the
council to the prosecuting attorney is
said not to make any dimunition in
the vigor with which any needful
probe will be pushed. The citizens
instead of massing and appearing be-
fore the council will carry their griev-
