Oh, she must hasten now, for there '
was so little time .to live in the world *
and every second counted. Healthy*
of body, wholesome of soul, innocent
and ardent in her new .bnrn*happiness,
she could scarcely endure the rush of
golden moments lost in an impetuous
bath, in t«i>ting up her bright hair, in
the quick-knotting of a riblxtn, the clink
of a buckle on knee, and shoe.

he lifted her head; it lay back on his

“All day. together," he was say inf;
and her s*ml leaped t’o meet his words,
but she eouid not s(M ak.
He held her at aniW-Ungth, laughing
a little trouidfd>
“Mygt«*ry ^>f jm^sterie^,” he said,
under his bream; "there .is some
blessed Heaven-directed mistake in
this, is there, sweetheart?” 1 ■
“No,”'sire said.
“And;if-there was?”
“C:ui ,you ask?” , :

“Then eotne to breakfast, heart of

rat in the pantry. Can we endure a

"Only during breakfast.” she said,
laughing. *‘l smell the wln aten .flap-

These have been other breakfasts-—
Barmecide breakfasts compared -with,
their fir-t crust broken in love. • .
But they ate -idi, indc«*d, they ate

The paddle flashed in the sunlight;^

Late in . the afternoon the canoe,
heavily festOom*d with dripping water-

him.
The unfeigned misery in his face
made her smile adorably, but she would
not permit him totou\ji her.
• "Si*** to what you have brought me!”
she said. ’TTu utterly unahlc^to live
without you. And now what are going.,

Hefeyes weft* very tender. He caught
her hand; and kissed it, and laid it
agajnst his face.
"There is a way." he said. ,

That portion of Judge McGowan’s
charge relating tb schools was made
especially impressive. He stated
that schools should be brought into
reach of every child growing up in
order that they might have the ad
vantage of an education. He also
urged the grand jury tb look into
the matter of attention given to the
edges of the county by the principal
public officials and stated that a
great cause for dissatisfaction and
’’unrest In these outlying.sections was
due to the fact that the outer edges
of the county were usually neglected,
and this was responsible for the cre
ation of new counties, and 'th*., gen
eral dissatisfaction in those sections.

propriation for such purposes. It
seems to us to be a very praclicsl
law and a good one and w» h q.*>
that thla .recommend it! in will *e-
ceive careful attenti-ui.
We have examined the jail and
find the samt to be in a vefy had
condition, indeed. We find that the
walls should be white washed or
calsmined and that the building
needs scouring and a great deal of
work along this“llne to put it in
sanitary condition. We find the
bedding very scarce and the venti
lation very poor and we urge that
this 'building be, given a thorougn
renovation even if it has to be done ^
by the inmate*. Our former re,-*- !*
ommendation in regard to this
state of s\ffairs was overlooked and
we specially nfge and recommend
that this recommendiktion. be given
at once the attention that it de
serves. .
We find that the road leading
from Bells to I^odge. near Mr. Cald
well’s place to he in’impassable con
dition and as the *ame can b«f re-
naired at a small cost we recommend
that the same bp attended to at once
and w«*make the same recommenda
tion as to the road ’leading from
Green Pond to Aer*e Hall.
. It has been railed to our attention
that Mrs. Susan Walker, with her
five, small children, is, in de*tjtute
circumstances and is entirely de
pendent upon thr - krndness of a few
neighbors and is a burden to the
community and we recommend that
the Highway Commissioner and his
assistant* take the necesRary steps J
♦o relieve thi* distress by placing
them on the poor farm or appro-
prUting a' sum sufficient each month
tolcqre for them until Jheir condi
tion is Improved.
