COUNCIL TO START
LIBRARY NEGOTIATIONS

Mrs. Powers, Mrs. Carruth, Mrs
Dubois ana Messrs. Adair and Car
ruth were present at the council
meeting Tuesday evening to hear the
report of the law and order commit
tee as to the feasibility of the tcity's
entering into a contract with the
Carnegie library foundation to main,
tain a city library once the building
be secured without expense to the
city.
The committee made a favorable
report, recommending that steps be
taken toward securing the Carnegie
aid. Mr.. Adair addressed the coun-
Gil making it clear that no legal
obstacles lie in the way of entering
into the library contract, which speci-
fies that the city shall maintain the
library from year to year.
Two Votes Carry 1t
Mr.. Clarke moved and Mr.. Pelkey
seconded, that the report of the COM
mittee be accepted and it be the
sense of the council that preliminary
negotiating with the Carnegie people
be commenced.
The Objections
Mr.. Stephens said he should like
to have action delayed until the
whole council should be present A
roll call disclosed two in favor of the
motion, Clarke and Pelkey, and three
not voting-Stephens, Thompson and
Heese. 3,n ''-~
Mayor Peck stated to the council
that it seemed to him when a large
number Of citizens bring petition
to them they should at least give it
the consideration of an answer.
Stephens wanted all the councilmen
present before he voted, and Heese
agreed with him, adding that he
would vote right when the proper
time came.
Success of the Library
Mrs. Powers told the councilmen
that the library has let out 572 books
in the 19 days of November and been
increased by III new gift books.
Mr.. Thompson said very heavy tax
payers had spoken to him opposing
the library proposal.
Mr.. Stephens repeated what he had
before said and reiterated Mr..
Thompson's objections to the step.
The mayor decided that the motion
was carried inasmuch as no expendi-
ture was involved

Under the
Second Empire
By JOHN TURNLEE

Henry Hitchcock after being gradu
ated from a medical college in Ameri
ca went to Paris, which was then the
center of medical science of the world
to complete his education. That was
in the days of the second empire, and
Paris was gay city. An acquaintance
with one of the American branch of
the Bonaparte family who had been
summoned by Napoleon III. to join
him on his accession to the throne of
France gained Hitchcock an introduc-
ton to the court circle.
One evening during a ball at the
Tuileries the American was saunterinG
through the apartments, crowded with
the new aristocracy Of France. A
couple, an elderly man, highly dec
Grated, and a young girl, approached
him.
The man was coarse looking; the
girl was comely and refined. They
seemed i'll matched, and, while the
man appeared from his expression to
court the girls favor, she was plainly
i'll at ease in his company. In advance
of Hitchcock walked young man.
who on meeting the couple bowed cere'
moniously. His salute was returned
by glance from the girl that clearly
bespoke love. Her companion return
ed the salute with malignant scowl.
Since the young mans back was to-
ward Hitchcock, his face was not visi-
BILE to him.
The doctor drew his inference, which
was by no means doubtful. The older
man had come between the young low
ers.
This was the theme of the story; the
story itself was not manifest
The next day Hitchcock's Bonaparte
friend called upon him and asked him
to act as attendant surgeon at duel.
The principals were Of high rank, one
of them being an intimate friend OF the
emperor. The affair was to be kept
secret, and Hitchcock was summoned
because he was a foreigner and there
was less danger of its leaking out
through him than a Frenchman. He
agreed to serve, promising to be pres
ent at spot in the Bois de Boulogne
the next morning at dawn.
On reaching the ground he found the
principals masked. They fought with
foils, and one was severely wounded.
After binding up the wound the doctor
got into carriage with his patient and
drove to his apartments.
Unmasked, the wounded man reveal
ed the face of a person of twenty-one
or twenty-five years of age. Hitchcock
watched over him during the mnrnins

-non, ueIIevlug MN 10 be OUT or dan
ger, he left him. Returning at night
fall, he surprised two women, one of
whom was kneeling by his patients
bedside
Her figure was very youthful, while
her companion, who stood apart, ap-
peared to be an elderly person. The
latter wore a mask on her face, the
former had taken one off, but hearing
the Doctors footsteps hastily replaced
1t. Then, rising, she turned, hesitated,
put out her hand to the patient as if
for an adieu, when, noticing sudden
pallor come over his face, she started.
Hitchcock saw it, too, and sprang to
the bed, pulled down the covers and
discovered fresh hemorrhage.
"a CLOTH" he cried.
Whether through excitement at re-
ceiving his visitor or from other cause
the wound had begun to bleed afresh.
The doctor stopped the flow, then turn
ed. A young girl whose mask lay on
the floor stood before him.
She was the girl he had noticed at
the Tuileries ball.
She gave no sign of having seen him
before, and he controlled an impulse
Of recognition.
ITS all right, DOCTOR" said the pa
tient. "Since you have come to know
me and now have seen the face Of this
young lady suppose we shall have
to take you into our confidence. When
one possesses half secret it is unsafe
to keep from him the other half"
mot now," interrupted the doctor;
wait till you are entirely out of dan
ger Your secret is safe enough as
it is"
The young man was Count Victor
Detoile, a scion of the old French no
bility. and was the person who had
saluted the couple at the Tuileries ball.
He was in love with Louise, the grand
niece of Napoleon |. The man with
whom the count had fought was the
Duke de -, a Bonaparte title. The
emperor had arranged marriage be-
tween the duke and Louise, his grace
having been of great use to him in exc
cutting the coup d'etat by which he had
seized the crown. Napoleon was not
averse to marriages between the mem.
berS of his family and the old nobility
Of France, but the duke had set his
heart on Louise and would not be gain
said. The count and the duke had
naturally become antagonistic, and the
antagonism had ended in the duel
Both principals feared the emper-
ors resentment that would result if
he should hear Of the encounter, and
arrangements were made to keep it a
secret in case there should be no fatal
result. Louise heard that her lover
was dangerously wounded and with a
friend visited him secretly.
The count recovered, and about the
same time the war between France
and Prussia broke out. The lover went
to the war, and ON his return, the en-
peror having been dethroned, there
was no one TO oppose his marriage

Sulphur and a Volcano.

Sulphur deposits are found on White
island, in the bay Of Plenty, on the
coast Of the North island Of New Zea-
land, about thirty miles from the main
land. This island, which covers about
600 acres, attains height of 900 feet
on one side and opens to the sea on the
other. Its topography indicates an old
crater, and the boiling lake on the is
land, which is one Of the awe inspiring
sights of New Zealand, is a further evi-
dence of volcanism. After the New
Zealand Sulphur company had spent
