was passed upon him. At the next
meeting of the council he. in his ca
paCity of Mayor directed the minutes
of the previous meeting to be read,
which contained the following entry:
A vote of Censure was passed on
the Mayor for outstaying his leave.
and it was resolved to ask for an ex-

Who proposed this vote of CEN

Il did said a Councillor, standing
up.

interrogation, stepping from his pres-
dental chair to the unfortunate mem
Der. Then take that"
With these words the Mayor smote
his enemy in the right eve and felled
him to the ground
who seconded this resolution" he
again asked, quietly resuming his po-
Sition.
There was no answer; the council
Tors were not over-anxious for a
physical contest with so hard hit
ter as The Mayor.
Who seconded this resolution" he
again repeated.
Still no reply.
Then" said the Mayor. AS there
is no seConder it is informal. Scratch

then-he went away
At first he wrote-oh such beauti-
full letters silly her mother thought

she does write half dozen letters a

couldn't YOU? That will give him his
chance, and that's what you want TO do
give him his chance-and yours-to
get out Of what may be a disa grceable
situation for YOU both.
No, don't appeal to his pity don't
try to bring back what he once felt for
YOU. That isn't fair; it isn't fair to
him-or to yourself
II he wants to get away from YOU
now-you can't let him get far enough.
II you can't hold him before marriage,
what in the world would you do once
YOU were just his wife And. then il
isn't honest, it isn't square to make a
man actually break with you. Let him
give you the chance to do that
What ever else you lose. don't lose
your pride That will help you
through when nothing else on earth
Will-oh, yes. I know the world swims
under your feet at the very idea that
he doesn't care for you as he did
