Borough Council

The Mayor and Council held their
fortnigbtly meeting on Tuesday.
Canute CIemente who has been rent
ing the hospital as a boarding
house for Italian workmen for more than
. year appeared before the Council to
give it up. Most Italian workmen have
procured homes or other boarding places.
The Mayor and Council decided to CO.
operate with and pay a third OF the ex-
penses of piping the storm sewer bitches
thru the Borough to the summit where
water is drained off the streets. The cit
izens have heretofore and been willing to
do their share, but for two years the
Council refused to help with the drainage
until the controversy was brought to a
climax last December by the new Board
Of Health, who did not purpose Oh
'oeing killed" nor put in a hole by being
urged to fine property owners when the
Council refused to do their part rs was
done before there was a Borough.
The drain bitches use to go dry until
the sluice at the end of French's grove
got blocked and the large mount Of
water used at tile school house flooded
the ditch with the sludge from the septic
tank at the school house not properly con-
structed under the State supervision OF
school properties. AS the people voted
to locate the school house
there and the largest amount of sewage
comes from the public school why should
not the people pay for the nuisance their
action created?
1t ia necessary for the Borough Council
to take over these storm sewer surface
drains in order to properly draiD the
streets. The people must get it ont OF
their heads that q sewer system viii evcI
take care of this large amount or 81 : /
water. The plans now made for sew is
does not provide for that.

Was discussed. 1t was decided to q . q

had no right to say anything about it
or the customers who ordered it,
Still, you could see that a letter
left here for them reached them, 1
suppose"
After some hesitation, the other
agreed. Average Jones sat down to
the composition of an epistle which
should be sufficiently imperative with
out being too alarming. Having COM
pleted this delicate task to his salts
faction he handed tho result to Mr..
Hollins.
IF you haven't already struck off
proof of that line, you might do So"
he suggested. Tive asked the Far
leys for a print of it; and l fancy
they'll be sending for one"
Leaving the shop he went directly to
telegraph office, where he dis
patched two messages to Harwick. One
to Rev. Peter Prentice. The other was
to the local chief of police.
On the following afternoon Mr.. Prem.
tice stood trembling in the anteroom
of the Advisors suite. With the
briefest word of greeting Average
Jones led him into his private office,
where a white.faced, clear-eyed boy,
with his head swathed in bandages,
sat waiting. AS the Advisor closed
the door after him, he heard the
GREATNESS, boyish Hello, father"
merged in the broken cry of Rev. Pc
ter Prentice.
Five minutes he gave father and
son. When he returned to the room,
carrying loose roll of reddish paper,
he was followed by strange couple.
The woman was plumply muscular.
Her attractive face was both defiant
and uneasy. Behind her strobe wiry
man OF forty. His chief claim to no.
tice lay in an outrageously fancy
waistcoat. which was Unmatched with
his sober, commonplace. "pepper-and-
salt" suit. a. ~. H..

wholly undecipherable
"You-er-threw this in the-er-
waste basket" he drawled. In which
pocket was it,"
"The waistcoat. An upper one. I be-
Eeve. There was pencil there, too."
Have you an old pair of shoes of
Baileys?" asked the visitor abruptly.
"Why, I suppose so. In the attic
somewhere"
please bring them to me-"
Rev. Mr.. Prentice left the room. No
sooner had the door closed after him
than Average Jones jumped out of his
chair, stripped to his shirt, caught up
the pepper-and-salt waistcoat, tried it
on, buttoned it across his chest with
out difficulty; then thrust his arm in
to the coat which went with it, and
wormed his way, effortfully, partly
into that. He laid it aside only when
he had determined that he could get it
no further on. He was clothed and in
his right garments when Rev. Mr..
Prentice returned with 4 much-worn
pair of shoes.
"W1l these do?" he asked.
Average Jones hardly gave them the
courtesy of a glance. YES" he said
indifferently, and set them aside.
"Have you a timetable here?"
you're going to leave?" cried the
clergyman, in sharp disappointment.
I'm just half an hour" replied the
visitor, holding his finger on the time
table.
"Mr: Jones, are you giving up the
attempt to discover what became of
my boy?"
Il know what became of him."
The minister put out a hand and
grasped the back of a chair for sup
port. His lips parted. No sound came
rom them, Average Jones carefully
folded the paper of "gibberish" and

"How far down the road, in this d.
rect1on, did the tracks rum"
Not beyond the fence-bar opening
from the Tuxall field, If that is what
you mean"
1T is. exactly. Do you know this
Tuxall?"
Hardly at all. He is very jealous of
his precious meteor, and guards the
ruins of the barn, where it lies, with
a shotgun"
Indeed? He promises to be an
interesting study. Meantime, I'd like
to look at your sons clothes"
From a closet Mr.. Prentice brought
out coat and waistcoat of the pep
per-and-salt" pattern which is sold by
the hundreds of thousands the whole
country over. These the visitor ex-
amined carefully. The coat was caked
with mud, particularly thick on one
shoulder. He called the minister's at
tention to it,
1t would be from lying wet on the
Shore" said Rev. Mr.. Prentice,
Not at all. This is mud, not sand.
And it's ground or pressed in. Has
anyone tempered with these since
they were found?'
Il went through the pockets"
Average Jones frowned. Find any
thing?"
Nothing Of Importance. A handker-
chief, some odds and ends of string
oh, and a paper with some gibberish
On it,"
What was the nature of this glib
berish?"
"Why, it might have been some sort
OF boyish secret code, though it was
hardly decipherable enough to Judge
from. l remember some f1amboyaut
adjectives referring to something three
feet high. I threw the paper into the
waste basket
Turning that receptacle out on the
table, Average Jones discovered in the
debris sheet of cheap, ruled paper,
covered with penciled words in print
characters. Most of these had been
crossed out in favor Of other words or
sentences, which in turn had been
scratched" Evidently the writer had
been tcilfully experimenting toward
some elegance or emphasis of express
sion, which persistently eluded him.
Amidst the wreck and ruin of rhetoric,
however, one phrase stood out clear:
"Stupendous scientific sensation"
Below this was a huddle and smudge
of words, from which adjectives DART
ed out like dim flames amidst smoke.
"Gigantic" showed in it's entirety, fol-
lowed by an unintelligible erasure. At
the end of this line was the legend "3
Feet High" ''Veritable Visitor" ap.
peared below, and beyond it, what
seemed to be the word Void" And
near the foot of the sheet the student
of all this chaos could make out, faint
ly but Enthusiastically, "Marvelous
Man-l-(the rest of the word being
