The twenty franc piece he felt bound
to offer his concierge caused him an
annual pang. and the guerdon Of 2
francs to the waiter of the little res

turn to every customer in the room.
These, however, were minor griev-
ances compared with what he was suf-
fering on the last day of the year.
In the course of the preceding six
months he had made the acquaintance
of the Countess de Franchimont, a
Belgian widow with two daughters,
who had recently settled In Paris and
who was, according to report, in pos
session of a handsome fortune. Natu-
rally partial to society when 1t cost
him nothing. he had by degrees be-
come -habitual frequenter of her pref

and had established himself there to a
certain extent as Pami de la maison.
Nine de Franchimont was barely
forty and did not look her age. AS for

Louise, the blond, they were both

soon made himself entirely at home.

a seat In their box at the opera.
This continued intimacy, with its
many contingent advantages, he had
hitherto enjoyed without scruple, but
the time was at hand when, in accord.
ance with Partisan usages, the hospi-
talities he had received must be ade-
quately returned.
For days and weeks he had wander
ed from place to place like perturbed
spirit In quest of some object suitable
for his purpose. He had dived into
obscure passages and emerged at the
other end with the dlsheartening con-
seriousness Of failure and had pored

Anew Years
Gift
By CHARLES HERVEY

~ My one day more" solilo-
quized the Baron de Croix-
Martel as he put the finish
ing stroke to his toilet and
contemplated his well waxed iron gray
mustache with less satisfaction than
he would probably have felt had not
his mind been otherwise preoccupied.
"One short December day." he went
on after pause, land every likely
place already explored twice over ex-
cept the quay. l wonder who the
idiot was who first invented New
Years gifts? Not one Of my ancestors,
I'll engage. The Croix-Martels date
from the crusades and, l dare say,
have been guilty Of follies enough
since then, but won't do them the
injustice of supposing that they ever
threw away more money than they
could possibly help"
With this comforting reflection the
baron took up his hat, gloves and cane
and sailed forth from his little apart
ment in the Rue Godot on the errand
for which he was bound.
Our hero was bachelor not SO much
from choice as from his inability hith-
erto to discover what he considered a
suitable part. Tall, thin and just
turned fifty, he was sufficiently good
tempered when nothing occurred to
put him out of humor and as notorious
a miser as ever existed since the days
Of Harpagon and John ELVES.
Perhaps the most disagreeable neces-
sity to which he periodically submit
ted was complying with the Ito him)
utterly inexplicable custom Of cele-
brating the advent of New Years day
by a distribution Of etrennes, a drain
on his purse which, although he took
care to confine bis liberality within the

ELECTRIC DEVICE WILL SOUND
FIRE WARNINGS.
Strong Steel Structure Now Holds
Old curfew and Fire Bell in New
Location.

After silence of several months
the big bell that warns the city's ju.
venile population each eve Of the pen
atty for lettering about the streets
and public places, summoning also the
FIRE laddies to duty in case of fire,
was swung into place yesterday in
the fine new steel tower adjoining
the city hall. The tower was hoisted
into place on Saturday, Craven Bros,
who had the work in charge, employ
ing an extra force to lift and guide
the heavy steel structure to its foun-
dation. The tower is 60 feet in
height and is well braced with heavy
wire and rods, being capped by a
heavy metal covering Of galvanized
metal. Instead of being compelled
to make a run for the bell rope, as
formerly, a fire alarm may be turned
in from any phone in the city day or
night and, with the new device to be
used. the bell will sound it's call as
soon as the telephone operator can
nush a button at the central station.
The. height Of the structure, it is
thought, will allow the distribution
IF the sound waves over a much larg-
sr portion Of the place than was
possible.

HAS CHECKS--NO FUNDS
Sheriff Grant Gets Man Accused of
Reckless Writing Of Checks on sa-
lem Bank.

A warrant issued from Marion
county and placed in the hands Of
Sheriff Grant for the arrest Of S.
w. Fuller for the alleged crime Of
writing checks upon the Ladd &
Bush bank at Salem without having
funds on deposit there, was served
soon after the appearance Of the pa
pers on Saturday, and on Sunday
Sheriff Esh Of Marion county, came
after the prisoner who had passed
the night in the county Jail here. Mr.
Grant found his man at the Homer
Murphy hop yards near Independ-
ence, where he had recently been em-
ployed after leaving Salem. In speak
ing Of the matter Sheriff Esh said
that ii was understood that the man
had an account at the bank in ques-
ton, had written some checks upon
the same and then Withdrawn the
funds before the checks were pre-
sented. The checks we're not for
large amounts and it is quite evident.
think the officers, that the mans
mental makeup is responsible for the
serious error. He is a young man
and no record Of his past career
could be obtained, beyond the fact
that he had been employed for some
time as dishWasher at the Marion
hotel in Salem.

During the. week two new candi-

in this connection and it is under

active fight for their election in case
there is any opposition. w. L. Bar

who was ousted, he claims, through
the work of the present council, says
that he would not have become a can

was not given fair treatment by the
present council, the position really
being detriment to him and inter

business. It is rumored that DR.
