CHAPTER VII-cOntinued.

-lO-
Mr.. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early eastbound train TO
Burlington. He attended the evange'
Iistlc services at the tabernacle in the
afternoon and evening, and then went
10 bed at the hotel. lie slept late the
next morning. When he finally ap'
peared the clerk came at once from
behind the desk to speak to him. Two
Or three other guests, who had been
lOunging about. drew near.
"We've just been reading about your
girls, sir" said the clerk respectfully.
tIt's a pretty nervy little bunch You
must be proud of them"
. my girls" calculated Mr.. Starr.
Haven't you seen the morning pa
per? You're Mr.. Starr, the Methodist
minister at Mount Mark, aren't your"
81 am! But what has happened to
my girls? Is anything wrong? Give
me the paper"
Five minutes later Mr.. Starr and his
suitcase were in a taXicab speeding
toward Union station, and within eight
minutes he was en- route for Mount
Mark-white in the face, shaky in the
knees, but tremendously proud in
spirit.
Arriving at Mount Mark, he was in
stantly surrounded by an explanatory
crowd of station loungers. The name
of Prudence was upon every tongue
and her father heard it with satisfac-
tiOn. In the parsonage he found at
least two-thirdS of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety, the trustees and the Sunday
school superintendent, along with n
miscellaneous assortment of ordinary
members, mixed up with Presbyterians,
Bapdsts and few unclassified outsid-
ers. And Prudence was the center of
attraction.
She was telling the 'whOle story"
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning, but she broke off when her
father hurried in and flung her arms
about him. "Oh, papa" she cried,
"they mustn't praise me. l had no
idea there was burglar in the house
when l ran down the stairs, and | hon
estly can't see that much credit is
due me-"
But Mount Mark did not take It so
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church-well, the Presbyterian people
used to say there was mo living with
those Methodists, since the girls caught
burglar in the parsonage" OF course
it was important, from the Methodist
point of view. Pictures of the par
sonage and the church were in all the
papers for miles around, and at their
very next meeting the trustees decided
TO get the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
years
When the five hundred dollars ar
rived from Chicago, Prudence felt that
she had no real right to the
money. I'VE must divide it," she in
sisted, "fOr didn't earn it a bit more
than any of the others. But it is
perfectly glorious to have five hundred |
dollars, isn't it2 Did you ever have |
FIVE hundred dollars before? Just take
1t, father, and use it for whatever we !
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them ear
nestly, they decided to divide it.
81 will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger ones," he
said, "and that will leave you as
much"
So it was settled, and Prudence was
/ happy girl when she saw it safely
lut away in the bank.

New Method for Removing Rust.

For removing rust from iron or
steel, Pascal Marino of London has
patented a method in which the metal
is made the cathode in a phosphoric
acid electrolyte. It is claimed that
this acid, unlike others, dissolves away
the rust without attacking the solid
metal and also tends to prevent subse-
quent rusting. The electrolyte may be
a 10 per cent solution Of phosphoric
acid in water or a 10 per cent solu-
ton of sodium phosphate with 10 per
cent of the acid added.

WHEN LAYING OUT A CITY
Proper Planning, by Adding to Its Ap-
pearance, Bound to Bring Desir-
able Financial Results.

Are we laying out, for instance, a
new suburb? Is it not better and more
businesslike, and more likely to pro-
duce adequate financial results if we
determine beforehand which of the
streets are likely to become great traf-
fic thOroughfares and to give them am
pie width of broad macadam of paved
surface, providing only in the resi-
Dental streets sufficient paved surface
to allow two tradesmen's carts to pass,
and laying down the remainder in trees
and grass, in way which will save
the rate-payers large sums and at the
same time make the street or boule-
ward more desirable place in which to
live?
Such instances could be multiplied
a thousandfold. The results, so far of
practical city planning will convince
anyone that the scope, influence and
finance of city planning are so much
subject for the earnest consideration
of every man who is good citizen and
loves his city and his fellow citizens,
that none can afford to neglect it. Nay,
more than this, any city which does
neglect this great subject, cannot hope
to continue in these go-ahead days, to
compete with other cities and towns
which are wide awake to take full
advantage of the opportunities for adj
vancement and betterment which II

COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY
BY Cutting Expenses There Would BE
More Money to Spend on Public
improvements.

Mayor Campbell of Houston has
started discussion of proposal to
combine city and county governments,
and eliminate one set of officers. The
writer advocated that several years
ago, but plans to reduce the expense
of government were not then as much
In favor as plans to increase it.
There is no sound reason why a
commissioners court and a city COM
mission should. both be required for
legislative service, nor is there any
apparent need for the double service
of city and county police force.
Many other Implications could be sug-
gested equally wasteful.
The city and county Of st. Louis
are identical. New York and London
are under the same single system of
government. So it cannot be urged
that the plan will not fit city.
The truth is that the American sys-
tenn seems to be based on a demand
that provision shall be made for every
man to hold an office who wants one.
It has multiplied Offices to a degree
unknown in any other country, and
has, as result, driven the cost of gov
eminent to a figure which exceeds
that of any other country in the world

DwindIina Wool Supply.

War and embargoes are making tex.
tile men uneasy as to the wool sup
ply. World demand is increasing
while the supply is growing less. Our
own needs are twice what we raise
and the chasm between domestic sup
ply and demand is widening. Our pro-
duction is less today than % years
ago, while the population has in
creased 60 per cent. The difference
between what we produce and what
we use must be made up by imports,

The British embargo on wool shows
how precarious is our position. Yet,
in peace and in war, wool is an abso-
lutte necessity. Several years ago when
alarm was taken at the declining beef
supply many felt that the situation
could not be remedied. But today cat
