For Month Of February
Presented To Council

An ordinance providing for the
sprinkling of East Gambler street, the
cost of the same to be assessed
against property owners, provoked
considerable discussion at the regular
meeting of the city council Monday
evening and was carried to its final
passage.
Members of the council seemed di-
vided on whether the ordinance
should be passed. Several cited oppo-
sition to the measure on the part OF
East Gambler street property owners,
stating that they claimed their sprink-
ling would be paid for twice. Public
Service Director White explained,
however, that but one sprinkling
year was given improved streets at
the city's expense and Gambler street
received that along with the others.
Accordingly, if property owners on
that thoroughfare desired more
sprinklings, it would practically be-
come private and individual matter.
Mr.. Hollingsworth, representing
mausoleum company, placed propo-
sition before council, whereby that
body, should give to the company a
strip of land in the cemetery, ON
which the company should erect
mausoleum of granite and marble.
Crypts therein should be sold at $3.50
apiece to individuals and the city
should make $75 in such transactions.
The matter ives referred to the pub
lie improvement committee.

qUized Hester bitterly that evening as
she sat at the window of her humble
home. She was, however, at least
peaceful of mind and comfortable.
The hundred dollars meant security
and basis to work on for some
weeks to come. The retrospective
mood was upon her, however.
What had her life been? What of
visions of ambition had materially
accrued? She dreamed of the long
grouping about one central
point the incidents of which had not
been out of her waking mind so much
as a single hour through ten years.
She was girl of twelve again,
poor, barefoot and plainly clld. She
stood beside a little wilIow-fringed
brook. She held one hand tightly
closed, meanwhile with the other
dabbling her tear-stained cheeks.
She was waiting for the only being in
the world who had ever been inter
ested in her, the only one she ever
cared for.
He came with a rush, Irwin Dale,
a handsome, manly lad of fifteen, too
proud to cry, but tears were in his
eyes as he choked 1.-THE words:

Irwin. "Then, when it has brought

And then some of his friends called
him and he tore himself away, wav-

She had never seen him since. Her
father had died, she had gone to the
city, had found work, had scraped

Three days later a brisk, energetic
young man who had entered the

a large, new photograph on the desk
