Sleepless Moments.

Warren worked over his papers IN
til after eleven, and when he finally
went to bed, Helen was already there.
Her face was turned to the wall and
her eyes were closed. In i few mo-
ments he was asleep. But Helen, with
the ache in her throat and her heart,
lay there staring at the wall which
reflected in waving shadows the dim
light from the street.
At length she could stand it no long
err. Quietly she slipped out of bed
and into the front room. She sank
into a low chair by her open window
and gazed out into the night. 1t was
warm and sultry, and the faint breeze
hardly stirred the thin curtains. There
was no moon. and only a few stars
shone in the dark, cloudy sky.

Regarding the proportion of the
city water supplied to contiguous ter

mating at one-eighth of the total he
had not counted the Southside sup
ply which will come from the city
pumps when the tiume is completed.
This will call for from one to two
million gallons more from the city
pumping station, and IL the sale of

chaser was to pay the rent every
month, until tho purchase price was
entirely paid. The rent IL $3.50 a
month, and Davis, as lessee, 10 respon-
sible for its payment The agreement

pressed upon the negroes the necessity
Of being reliable. He urged them
to settle down and stick to the SOIL
He declared that they were better
