CHAPTER X-ContInued.
1911, by D. Appleton d Co.

At last the bell rang. Captain Elisha
sprang up, smiling, his impotence and
worry forgotten, and, pushing the but
Ter aside, hurried to open the door him
self. He did so, and faced not his niece
and nephew, but Pearson.
Good evening, captain" hailed the
young man cheerily. "Didn't expect
me, did you? dropped in for a mo
ment to shake hands with you and to
offer congratulations to Miss Warren"
Then, noticing the expression on his
friends face, he added: whats the
matter? Anything wrong? Am In
truding?
mo, no! Course not. You're as well
come as another egg in poor mans
henhouse. Come right In and take on

He insisted upon his visitors remain
ing, although the latter, when he I'M
derstood the situation, was reluctant to
do so.
But a good many minutes passed,
and still they did not come. Pearson,
aware of his companions growing
anxiety, chatted of the novel, Of the
people at the boarding house, of any
thing and everything he could think OF
likely to divert attention from the one
important topic. The answers he re-
ceived were more and more brief and
absent. At last. when Edwards again
appeared, appealingly mute, at the en-
trance to the dining room Captain
Elisha, with sigh which was almost
a groan, surrendered.

CHAPTER xl.
"CaroIine, | Want You."

DEARSON had dined hours before,
but he followed his friend, re-
u solved to please the latter by 60
ing through the form of pretending to
eat.
They sat down together. Captain
Elisha, with rueful smile, pointed to
the floral centerpiece.
1--WE won't touch the birthday cake,
Jim," he added little later. "She's
got to cut that herself"
The soup was only lukewarm, but
neither of them commented on the fact.
The captain had scarcely tasted of his
when he paused, his spoon in air.
"Hey?" he exclaimed. Listen!
What's that? By the everlastin', it Is.

He sprang up with such enthusiasm
that his chair tipped backward against
the buffers devoted shins. Pearson,
almost as much pleased, also rose.
Captain Elisha paid scant attention
to the chair incident.
"What are you waitin' for?" he de-
manded, whirling on Edwards, who
was righting the chair with one hand
and rubbing his knee with the other.
Don't you hear 'em at the door7 Let
'em in!'
He reached the library first, his
friend following more leisurely. Caro-
line and Stephen had just entered.

Praise For Officials.
The report says: During the.
year under review, we have found
the records of the city clerk, F. W..
Bates, as in the preceding year 1916 :.
1917. kept in an able, careful and
conscientious manner, and we take,
pleasure in paying the same tribute
to the work of Jay Nicholson, city
treasurer, and to Miss Dethloff, who.
is in charge of the water depart )
ment records.
"The affairs of the city OF Man.
katO, so far as they come within the
jurisdiction of the city clerk, have
been conducted in a most thorough,
accurate and able manner, and this
condition reflects the close personal
attention and efficiency which has
been given by the city clerk, Mr..
F.. w. Bates. Long experience and
close concentration on the duties of
the city clerks office have rendered
I him an exceptionally valuable man
in that particular work, and in this
connection we wish to suggest for
your consideration the matter of re-
! vising the salaries of certain city
officials, including, the salary of the
city clerk, so as to bring them into
conformity with the value of the
services rendered under present war
conditions.
The city treasurer's cash balance
was verified by the auditors as at
the close CT business on April 25, 1918
and was found to agree with the
amounts called for by the records in
/ the office of the city treasurer. The
cash in banks has been reconciled
with the bank statements and found
otherwise in order; the usual bank
certificates were obtained by the aud
ditors in this connection.
| Worthy of Commentator.
I'VE wish tc take this opportunity
Iof stating that the accounting work
! in the department of the city treas
urer has been conducted in a care
/ full and efficient manner, and is
worthy of our highest communication.
Check No. 1912 on the National
Citizens bank, in the amount of S15.-
IA in payment of Warrant No. 2432,
being in settlement with the Widell
company, is still outstanding. We UNI
derstand that the Widell company
has refused to accept this check and
mat the matter is now subject to
settlement of a suit brought by the
Widel company against the city in
connection with the building of the
Minnesota river bridge.
