There was one person In the regula-

feet score. The days Of her younger
sister had been ordered In strict ac-
cord 10 the seniors ideas. Perhaps
though, she had taken an unfair ad-
vantage, for there were eighteen years
to her credit when Harmonic was born
and to Hannah alone was left the task
of bringing up the baby sister.

seemed to fairly jump at the bait. And
Harmonic, disguised thai Hannah
should show so little proper pride. re-
solved right then and there to tighten
his labors as much as she possibly
could
The neighbos shifted, Hannah BEAM
ed and Harmonic helped stack up the
stove lengths The Rev. Mr.. Dun4ton
seemed to enjoy both the exercise and
me companlonshlp Of the younger
Hampstead sister; also the apple pie
or fragrant spice cake which Hannah
usually produced Harmonic was not
the type OF girl TO whom an older man
instinctlyely appeals. Nevertheless
she grew to ike Alr Dunston more and
more; until all nc once the suspicion
took root I'm her mind that 1t was Han
nahs plan that she should do that very
thing. The thought turned her square
t. against the minister; for Harmonic
had long ago resolved that when it
came to the one really important event
Of her life, Sister Hannah for once
should have nothing whatever to say
about II.
Harmonic was in this frame of mind
when Hannah one day informed her
that the Res Mr.. Dunston had asked
II he might see her privately. "From
several things he has said' she yolun-
teered, Il have every reason to believe
he means to propose to me-"
Harmonic stared at her sister in
amazement. "Propose-to you!"
"Why not7" Hannah's tone challeng-
ed all criticism. Hes tired of board
ing and he won't hear of putting the
old minister out of the parsonage. He
likes my coolllng-and we need man
In the house It's mighty good ar
rangement all around"
without a word Harmonic walked
out Of the house and around behind
the woodpile. There, In the shade and
out of sight she began to reconstruct
her world Mr. Dunston was just a.
Just n fiirt, then; for certainly he had
given her to understand that newell,
that he liked her. Hannah was a design
ing female. AS for her, Harmonic, no
body loved her; nobody cared anything
about her. or course she must go
away She would go now.-go right in
to the house this minute and pack up.
And because she was mentally compos-
ing a letter TO be left behind for Han
nah, she failed to hear approaching
footsteps and all at once there was
Mr.. Dunston standing before her.
Harmonic" he said. 81 have just
received your sisters permission to
say something to you. win you be my
wife? | know I'm much older thar
you, but / love you--and love needs no
apologist."
In the sudden reaction from woe to
JOY Harmonic began to cry. Philip
Dunstons athletic arm drew her to
him and the girls face was hidden on
his shoulder.
As they walked back to the house
some moments later, hand in hand, a
thought came suddenly 10 Harmonic.
1t was of Hannah wait" she COM
| manded, and hurried into the house.
Hannah was setting forth spice cakes
and tea.
Gently, lovingly, Harmonic laid her
hand on her sisters arm. I'm sorry,

way"
"YOu needn't be-" replied Hannah

DEFER ACTION
 ON TRANSFERS

Mayor Wilson's request that $17,000 in the Board of Public Works fund be transferred to the police board fund to pay for the recent vice raids was referred to a subcommittee at the postponed meeting of the Board of Apportionment yesterday afternoon.
 The mayor told the board there was
 not enough money left in the police appropriation to meet the cost of the
 raids The subcommittee will tnves- tigate and find out if 1t will De possd- ble for the police board to stand the expense rather than have money transferred from another account. The mayor also asked for the trans fer of $23,00O from the Public Works fund to bridge the Barnum Dyke at
 Brewster street. The mayor told the board there was $4O,00O of the funds | which could be diverted without det- | riment to other public work. He said Fairfield would stand a small part of the expense and that much of the | material of the dismantled SteaGe-
 chase bridge could be used on the Brewster street structure.
 The draw which cost the city $100, 900, | he said, is practically new and it could serve a better purpose on the ] Brewster street bridge than in the junk pile. The Apportionm board
 referred this request to the Board of
 Public Works.

New Life-Savinq Device.

Firing a fest shot with its barrel
full of water was the unusual per-
Torrance Of an improved form of gun
for shooting a life line over a wrecked
vessel, in recent official trials, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. A one
piece shell containing powder and pro-
jectile gives the new gun great adj
vantage over the old muzzle-loading
type. The barrel may be regulated to
elevations of thirty, forty-fve, sixty or
eighty degrees, and its range is LOO
feet. The barrel is readily carried by
one man, and the one-piece carriage
has a pair of wheels for easy hauling.
The firing mechanism is actuated by
lanyard, and the lifeline, attached
to the projectile, unwinds from the
center of the reel without kinking.
