afterward. Miss Burke tripped
Y into Rodney's Office and handed
him something which had not
yet become common in the company's
routine-namely, n letter with a for

partners were standing about as usual
when this dramatic little incident oc-

odds she was giving-would they be
as high as 100 to /? Rodney in the
meantime, who had opened the epistle
and been reading it, shouted out:
"Hurrah, hurrah! It's from the coun-
tess"
They had pinned their hopes to the
countess Partisan skirts, and here she
was coming back again in the nick of
time. Luck was with them.
"What does she say?" asked Mary,
much excited, while Peale grabbed the
letter and exclaimed in disgust, when
he had glanced at it, "Oh, French
stuff"
''She says she was delayed abroad,
but that she's due on the Northumber-
land this morning and that she's COM
ing to see US at H."
''lt's half past IL now" Mary sighed.
"Oh, dear. She's late"
"Fear not" said Peale. Remember,
though a countess, she is still a wo-
man. Give her time"

perienced bill collector.
There was nothing to do bat receive
him bravely.
"Why, hello, Mr.. Jones'" said Rod
ney genially, pretending to be quite
glad and surprised to see him.
"How are you. Jack?" began Peale.
He even tried to shake Jones' hand,
but was thrown off roughly.
"You may be in the soap business,
but cut out the soft soap with me-"
was his unsympathetic comment.
"Why-er-the fact is"- Rodney be-
gan.
"That means you haven't"
"Wel. you see

brutally. do you think you can put

Rodney grew provoked.

"What" exclaimed Jones in surprise
"He said drop it." repeated Peale.
Rodney stumbled on:

to examine your bill in detail. This
afternoon, however, r.

Absolutely" said Peale. This was
a great word with Ambrose, pronounc-
ed always with a strong accent on the
loot"
Jones was impressed.
"Now. Mr.. Martin, I'll admit I'm
hasty tempered. I'm sorry l made a

Here's your check. Good day." said
Rodney.

"Come on. Jack. This way to the
elevator" he said.
Poor Mary had observed this scene
with renewed dismay.

got us into more difficulty. You know
there's no money in the bank"
But the check won't go through the
clearing house until tomorrow morn

Peale looked at his watch and won

"Ill bet she sank in midocean," he
predicted dOlefully. Wasn't that just

advises that it should be held for spe'

from sprouts, the best of which should

In his opinion the attcrney-general

This convention, as well: as the
matter OF election of delegates there

He goes on to point out that all ex.
penses of general municipal election
are to be paid by, the municipality.
He continues:
1T has been urged that because the
legislature specifically provided that
the expenses Of the election for this
convention shall be borne by the mu-
nicipality, the only proper inference
from legal standpoint is that all
other expenses were intended to be
borne by the territory. II seems in.
disputable that the legislature consid-
cred and properly so--this election
and the convention itself as a purely
municipal matter. The territorial off.

the report submitted to Governor

cisms were offered. Three men lost
their lives as a result of injuries suS-
tanned from the explosion. as
1t was requested by the superin-

the present wooden stairway leading
to the tanks be torn down and an iron
or concrete one substituted in its
place. The company agreed to both
requests.
