A FAIR-MINDED LOVER

i, Bean too busy putting up currant 1 jell, eh? Better think it over. It's a vital question for both of us. You'll 1 never find another man to agree with 1 you more heartily than I do that 1 sprinkling a convert beats immersion all hollow. We may differ about Danl in the lions den but we never shall about sprinlding.' .Ain't you going to get me loose T she asked.
 Certainly I am. I don't expect a woman caught fast ons a rail fence is going to give much thought to natri- mony, but think 1t over when you get home I might walk away and refuse to do a thing till you had said yes to me. but I'm a fair minded man, Mrs. Nixon,-a fair minded man"
 Mrs Nixon decided to return home but not to think. She kept saying to herself that she wouldn't give the carpenter's word one single minutes and thought over them for two long hours. lie was q queer man, was her conclusion. She neither liked nor disliked him. She wasn't going to ask him to call, but if he did call she wasn't going to turn him out doors.
 4 couple of weeks again went by. Such villagers as had got to know Mir. Hackett were saying that he was d very nice man. The widow expressed no opinion She had been to the post office, half a mile away, one after noOn when a sudden thunders torm came up. She thought she could beat it, but was forced to take refuge in the porch of q church. The thunder was rolling. the lightning flashing, and the rain descending in sheets when MT. Hackett came running up the steps to grasp her arm.
 You must get home. even if you get drenched. The spire of this church may be struck by lightning Come on, and after you have got into dry clothes think it over. I am a fair minded man and will take no advan- tage of a woman in a thunder storm"
 As he threw her into the gate of her home a thunderbolt hit the spire and knocked it into a continental cooked hat and flames followed and con- sumed the church.
 The widow Nixon did some hard thinking. She kept at it until she had thought it over,, She almost wished that MT. Hackett would call, but he didn't The next she saw of him was when she was out for row on the mill-pond with another woman. An oar was lost, and the woman jumped overheard and struggled to shore. This left Mrs. Nixon alone and help less and drifting slowly towards the high dam. She was getting ready to yell when along came Mr. Hackett in 9 boat.

LEGISLATION
FOR THE CITY
Council viii Talk Over Bills
With State Lawmakers
on Friday

All the members OF City Council
that possibly can do so, will go to
Dover on Friday, to meet the members
Of the Legislature and urge the pass
age of bills effecting Wilmington and
endorsed by the Council, particular
ly the bills Council has had drawn
itself
Principle among the bills the Coun-
cilmen will advocate is the one that
provides for a new system OF assess
ing real estate and collecting taxes
Under existing law the person and
not the property, Is assessed and the
result is that tax collectors 90 force
the payment of delinquent taxes under
the law are required, first to sell by
legal process the personal effects OF
! the taxpayers and then his real cs-
tate holdings.
Under the new plan Of assessment
IL is proposed TO lay the assessment
against the property, using the name
of the owner only for Identification
and make all delinduont taxes a lien
against the property.
The present tax law provides that a
discount Of five per cent. be allowed
ON tax bills paid during July; the
/ face of tho bill Is collected during Au-
gust and FIVE per cent added after
/ September l. This is tho only PEN
atty imposed and the members Of the
finance committed Of Council arc OF
the opinion that delinquents, knowing
this TO be the only penalty, take
7 their time about paying their taycs,
leaving the bills sometimes run for
two and three years and longer.
In order TO collect from such delin-
Quents Il Is proposed under the pro-
posed bill 70 add one-half Of ono por
cent each month in addition TO the
Eve per cent penalty already provided
after September.
There are a number Of other bills
| in which Council is Interested. one
TO fiN minimum FOR taxing street
railway lines and one for fixing a
minimum for assessing gas pipe lines.
Just what bills the delegation will
work for, however, has not yet been
definitely decided upon, and as Il Is
desired that tho members OF Council
be unanimous on whatever they do,
a meeting will be held following the
regular meeting on Thursday night,
when definite plans will be laid fer
the following days proceedings At
Dover.
