_ _ (Continued.) me most of the time. I had to fight dee perately to control my feelings. On< minute I would think that as soon a* the services closed I wonld rush around 9 and Bhake hands with my old aoquainfr anoes and the next minnte would be do ing my best to swallow the lump m my throat. It was as tough a 60 minutes at 1 ever passed. But finally the servioea were ended. I felt that it was plainly my duty to stop m the porch and claim the recognition of my friends. I did pause and try for a few seconds to ool leot myself, but the lump grew bigger and ohoked me, while the tears would flow. Besides that, as the adversary just then, m the meanest possible manner, suggested to my eoul, there was that pork. I knew I would havo to tell of it if I stopped. But I did not stop. Ire treated. When I reaohed my room m the hotel, I felt a longing to get out of town. Fortunately I oould not leave on Sunday. So m the afternoon I sat with the landlord on his broad front plat form, or piazza. It was not the person who keeps the plaoe now, but one of the oldest inhabitants, who knew all about the Burlington people. He guessed that I was a college boy. He thought he re membered something about my appear ance. I did not mind talking freely with a landlord, for hotels and boarding ( houses had been my home m Chioago. { I had always been a single man, just as lam to this day. This landlord waa a good hearted old ohap, and it was pleas ant to talk with him. While we were sitting there who should oome along the street but Luoy, with a book m her hand. She was on the opposite sidewalk

and did not look up. She would not look at a hotel on Sunday. I asked the landlord about her, and he told me all there vras to tell. She was living m one end of a little "wooden cottage over to ward Winooski, another factory woman occupying the other part of the house. They made a home together. The land lord said Lucy was an excellent woman and might have married one of the over seers m the faotory any time she chose for years back, but that she preferred a single life. "When I got back to Chicago, I kept thinking about Lucy Cary. The old times when we used to live m "Wilming ton came baok to my mind. The truth of it was I was getting along a little at last m Chicago iv the way of property, and I found myself all the while plan ning how I could have Lucy Cary near me." "Did you want to marry her, Tim othy?" inquired Mrs. Pember. "It was not that," he replied, "but I wanted to become acquainted with her again. I knew she was the best girl I had ever seen. She was just as good and pious as anybody oould be. We were like i brother and sister, almost, when young, and when I thought of home and my folks and old Wilmington and the col lege days somehow Luoy was the center of it all In faot, almost everything else was gone. My folks were scattered, and Lucy and Unole Jason were nearly the only persons up this way that I could lay olaim to. There is a kind of lone some streak comes over a man when he has been grinding away m a great city for a good many years and comes baok to the old places and sees them so fresh and green and quiet, and he can't get over it. He will cling to anything that belongs to old times. I was strongly in fluenced to write to Luoy, but I finally did not. I determined that I would get all I oould for two or three years, and then I would come here and face things. I would get something comfortable and would have a plaoe of my own m Chi cago. Then, when I had it fixed, I would oome and see Uncle Jason and Lncy and stand the raoket. Of course it was nonsense to feel shy, but it seemed to me that I could not say a word until I had something to brag of. They knew, m a general way, that I was m Chica go, dealing m pork or doing auctioneer- I ing or something, and that was as much humiliation as I could* endure. To be sure it was nothing to be ashamed of, for I had been an honest, faithful man, but to come back to my frionds empty hand ed, without money or fame, and gray headed at that, was more than I could stand. If I had had anything or been anything, just to take the edge off, I could have managed it. As it was, I looked ahead and worked. If any man m Chicago has tried and planned and toiled during the last three years, I am that man. There has been a picture be fore my mind of a pleasant home there." "And have you oaloulated to marry Lucy Cary?" inquired Mra Pember iv an eager voica "Perhaps it was not just m that way I thought of it," replied the narrator, very seriously. "You know, I told yon that the landlord said she preferred a single life." "Timothy Tompkins," exclaimed the old lady apprehensively, "don't deny it —don't 1 Think how dreadfully yon will feel if you know you have told a lie I" ' "It is nothing to be ashamed of, Tim othy," said Mr. Pember iv a kind and sympathetic voice. "If you put it m that way," answer ed my old classmate m strangely mourn ful tones, "all I can say is there was never anything between us; nothing at aIL" "And did you come here this time to see her?" inquired Mrs. Pember, almost starting from her seat and with the thrill of a sudden guess m her Toioe.

To be continued

She was on the opposite sidewalk.

COUNTY COUNCIL.

4 The following completes oar report of yesterday's meeting:— f WATER SUPPLY. Messrs Morgan, Murdoch and Nee waited on the Council with a request that two forda orer races running throngh Meurs Dent, Dougherty, and Nee's property should be abolished, as they caused storm water to be spread over the property adjacent. The deputatation also asked for an alteration m the line of the races affected so that the ; properties should be more efficiently served. The application was agreed to, snbjeot to agreement of parties inteieated, the ap. proval of the engineer, and the work to be done free of cost to the Council. The Borough Council wrote, stating that they would agree to a friendly conference on - water supply, but wished the date put off for three weeks, to cover the holidays, as several members vould not be able to be present until about the time mentioned. It was decided that the Borongh Council be asked to meet the County Council on Tuesday evening, November 22, and the ordinary meeting of the Counoil be held on Wednesday 23— but the matter of arranging for the meeting with the Borongh Counoil was left m the hands of the Chairman. BOROUGH COUNCIL ACCOUNT. The Borough Council Torwarded an account for £7 10s maintenance of water race through Mr Williamson/a property. The account was left m the hands of Mr Harper to look into and report. CHARITABLE AID BOARD. Mr Harper wbb nominated the county's representative at the Charitable Aid Board, and delegate to the meeting of the combined couccila to elect a member of the Board. DOG COLIiABS The tender of R, J Guy waß accepted for the supply of dog collarß for the year, a.b £44 17a 6d— Messrs Lambie and Chapman to pass the collars. TENDERS — RUAPUNA WATER SUPPLY, The Chairman reported that the tenders received were about 20 per cent above the engineer's estimate, which would leave nothing for contingencies. This was accounted for by the approach of the shear ing and harvest seasons, and the high price of horse flesh and feed. As the water oould not be brought down m any case before the end of February it was worth considering whether it would not be prudent to decline all the tenders, ask the engineer to revise the work, and then invite fresh tenders. This suggestion wa« adopted, and the Council resolved to accept no tender?, the engineer to revise the specifications and invite tenders to be m after harvcßt— those already accepted provisionally to be can celled, and the whole to t>o invited anew. IIOLIDATS. Holidays for the office were granted for the 7th, 9th, and llth November. LOAN MONET. It wa? decided jo lodge the loan money at a fixed deposit with the bank. WATER CONCESSIONS. Water concessions were granted to the following — Isabella Bennett, Addis, and Drummond (Higbbank), Low, Paterson, and G. Baxter. Several settlers aeked for remission of W&ier charges m consequence of not having been able to get water during the drought. The matter was ordered to be looked into by the Chairman. OVEBDtE BATES AND WATER CHARGES. Several overdue rates, etc., were ordered to be collected with the ten per cent addrd, *nd failioe payment m response to ihe ordinary demand for payment, that lpgal steps to recover th* money be taken. WORK. Mr Williamson drew the attention of the engineer to some very slipshod work dona on some of the races recently — more especially m regard to widening. He instanced one race m particular which had been done m a very slovenly way. THe Chai'mnn had a'so tocomp'aia of the way a race had been widened. air VViUiun son had no wish to harass the contractor?, but he rxpected work to be done proptrJy that had to b« paid for. CORRESPONDENCE. It waa understood that m fnture all cor respondence dealt with and entered on the minutes be acknowledged or replied to by the clerk and not by the engineer. The Council then rose.
