At the meeting yesterday Commits

counsel be instructed TO investigate
whether or not the Third Avenue Rail-
way Company had failed sufficiently In
carrying out a repair order to warrant
action being taken against II. Commits
sioner Hayward's comment on this was
that the company had admitted the
reason II didn't to do the work
was that 1t didn't van to spend the

LOST BOUNDARY LINES
BY r. s. CAMP.
BY r. s. CAMP.

On one side of the barbed-wire fence
stood Colonel Bickford, his fine face
crimson with anger, seeing not the
slightest humor in the situation.
Half way through the strands OF
barbed wire. which caught the shout
ders Of her best lavender dimity gown,
was Miss Rebecca Dobson, his next.
door neighbor. Her delicate, faded
face was quite pink with embarrass.
ment.
Upon my soul. madam" ragged the
colonel testify. this is too much"
If you were gentleman you'd ex.
tricate me from this wretched fence
which you have had the impudence to
erect on my property" was Rebecca's
acid retort. Then. with wrench OF
her shoulders and her imprisoned
knees, Miss Dobson fell back entirely
free from the barbed wire.
"A gentleman. indeed" clustered
the colonel, when he was left alone.
How was l to know that a meddling
old maid would 60 racing over my
property hunting for a lost guinea
hen? Her land. eh! l thought the
courts Of Suffern county decided
where the boundary lines were!"
The colonel clustered into his lone.
ly house, where he sat down to a
lonely meal in the great dining room.
He had never made a woman cry in
his life-unless his wrangle over the
boundary line had caused Rebecca to
shed tears. He never believed it had;
she was too plucky for that.
She had never cried, either, when
they had Quarreled. long years before
he wouldn't believe 1t; their en-
gagement had been short and sharp
and soon ended. And now the colonel
had come home to spend the quiet
life Of a country gentleman, and his
first skirmish had been dispute over
the boundary line between the two
estates. The colonel had conquered
and 1t was by his orders that the old
meadow fence had been torn down
and replaced with one of barbed wire
to include twelve feet of land that the
Dobsons had always claimed.
BY this time the colonel was down
in the dew-drenched rose garden.
which heretofore had always offered
him repose when weary in mind and
heart. Tonight the white moon
staring down on the fragrant inclos-
ure was too much for hint re-
minded him sorely Of another moon
light night and another rose garden
when he had been younger.
So he tramped out of the garden
and down the yew walk to the or
ohard and through the orchard and
around the fields until he fetched up
short and sharp before the contro-
versial barbed-wire fence.
A big black form was busy there.
