Health Board Gets After.
Dealers in Bad Fruits

Complaints against three produce
dealers for selling. bad fruit were
filed with the Board of Health today.
In one case the complaint was with
drawn after the defendant had re-
funded the money to the purchaser;
in the other it is likely suits will be
started against the defendants by the
Board of Health.
Benjamin Drill, of Y Montgomery
street complained that he had pur-
chased from Peter Soros. 73 Com
merce street. five baskets of peaches,
two of which were bad. Health In
spectors Burke and Sharwell came
across Abe Shulman, of 1S9 Living

he said were purchased from Thorn
& Co., Commerce street. George
Palevastro, SIS North Fifth street
had William Culver, so Commerce

RESOLUTIONS ON
PAVING SIGNED
Mayor HaussIing Affixes Sig
natures to BituIithic Awards
for Two Streets.

Following a conference with City
Counsel James R. Nugent. Mayor ia
cob Haussling today signed two reso-
lutions, one a tentative and the other
final award for the laying of btu
1ithic pavement on Alexander street
and on Nineteenth avenue. recently
adopted by the Board of Works.
The final award on Alexander street
was made by the board two weeks
ago. At the time Commissioners
Charles P. Gillen, who is waging a
fight against what he terms the bit
ulithic trust insisted that there were
sufficient Withdrawals from the petit
ton to make it invalid. The clerk
was unable, at the time, however, TO
find the Withdrawals, and, despite the
protests of Mr.. Gillen, who contended
that they must have been mislaid, the
award was made to the Standard Bit
uiithic Company.
The mayor has. ten days in which
to act on all matters of this kind,
and decided that he would make a
thorough investigation before taking
any step. Today being the tenth and
last day which he is allowed for ac-
ton, he returned 1t to the board
rooms with his signature.
On the Nineteenth avenue matter
the resolution making the tentative
award to Leo w. Mcmahon, a local
contractor, who was the lowest bid
der on bitulithic, was passed on
Thursday last. Because of the fact
that the Standard Bitulithic Company
presented no bid Mr.. Gillen claimed
that there was collision and voted
against the award.
Apparently the mayor was unable
to see the matter In the same light,
as the resolution which was returned
today was marked with his approval.

that her hand still clenched tightly
in its palm.
There welled over her in a tide
those days of puzzle, the weeks of
waiting silence, the slow inexorable
months of heartache, the long years
that had deepened the mystery of
Beauty Valiants exile. In the first
shock of the news that Sassoon had
fallen by his hand, she had thought
she could not forgive him that broken
faith. She and his promise to her
had not weighed in the balance
against his idea of manly honor"
But this bitterness had at last slipped
away. He will write she had told
herself, and explain" But no word
had come. Whispers had fitted to
her-the tale of Sassoon's intoxica-
tion-stinging barbs that chung to

with resentment and anger. Slowly,

Its wound and smiles. And she had
hidden her wound with flowers. But

love for him had rested unchanged,
clear and defined as a moss in amber,
