The committee on ordinances pre­sented the new railroad franchise. It contains ample provision for protection of the village streets, street lights* suitable waiting room, rates of fare, good rolling stock, insulated feed wires, a check for £1,000 to be deposited to guarantee the completion of the road­bed as the contract provides, one sec­tion to be fully completed before the other is begun, the company to pay in­cidental -expenses in connection with “ '" iting of the franchise.

that Weeks was present and de­sired to be enlightened in the matter of enforcing the ordinances of the village. President Starkweather unequivocally 'stated that the ordinances, were there to be enforced, and it was the marshal’s duty to arrest all violators and bring them before a Justice, if such violators came under his personal observation. The marshal cannot make complaint before a Justice if the offense is not committed within U s own r ight This point should not be forgotten by those who may think the marshal is not do­ing his doty. These people should make the complaint themselves and the marshal will serve the warrant"

The council adjourned until Wednes­day evening, at which time the railroad ordinance was adopted. * .

sprain of the ankle,” says Geo. E.

0 o so 5 » o ao v » o i,o s j« o s« o s ,o n o i,o s ,o o“Mr. R edboltiis to go to the governor

a t once.”Mr. Redbolt strode briskly across the

^.room . A m om ent la te r he w a s in the p riva te office.

Young Mr. D ew hurst, whtJ had m an­aged the business since the death of his father, gave him a fu rtiv e look as he entered and then tu rned hurriedly to a bundle of. correspondence by his aide and selected a le tte r w ith an a ir o f m alicious satisfaction .

^The Ijlall w as opened by Mr. Dew­h u rs t unfolding a cantankerous com-

- p la in t from an un im portan t custom er. I t w as the m erest trifle and quite, un ­w o rthy o f the occasion. N evertheless J o e R edbolt w as by no m eans su rp ris­e d a t th e tone adopted. F o r some tim e p a s t the sm allest opportunities had been seized fo r fa u l t finding, and he knew by Instinc t th a t the clim ax had been reached.

“H ow d o you account fo r ttys blun­d e r? ” asked Mr. D ew hurst suspicious­ly.

H is clerk gave a simple, s tra igh tfo r­w ard-exp lanation , w hich, to a reasona­b le many would have been sufficient!

B u t Mr. D ew hurst w as n o t in & rea­son ab le hum or.

“I t appears to me, then, th a t you are Jio t In an y w ay I to blame, Mr. Redbolt,” b e said cynically.

" I th in k n o t ’1“You never m ake a m istake?"■“N ot very oftjen.”'W ho la to blam e, then?"

T h e re wag a m om ent’s silence, and th e tw o m en looked Into one ano ther's eyes. '

“Yon are, airy” said Redbolt respect­fu lly . f‘I ; ac ted under your Instruc­tions.”

This appeared to give the unw orthy little ty ra n t his opportunity .

“Yon a re m ore th a n ha lf Im perti­n en t,” he said i^oughly. -

“ I give you m £ word th a t I don’t in­te n d to be so," Jitaid Redbolt, w ith per­fe c t good tem pefv '

“P erhaps not;-, b u t I ’m tired o f I t You fo rget your proper position and h av e crossed mi f w ill in several w ays.”

M r. R edbolt colored ra th e r pa in fu lly , a n d hid principal continued, w ith a

~"Smile of sp itefu l trium ph:“You understand w hat I-a llu d e to?” T he clerk bowed slightly.“T hen I th ink you had b etter look

ab o u t fo r ano ther situa tion .”“Shall w e calculate the m outh from

la s t Monday?” inquired Joe Redbolt In A perfec tly even, m a tte r of fa c t voice.”

“E h—yes,” said Mr. D ew h u rst “B u t1 w on’t ask you to continue your w o rk '.here-” -•

W ith th a t he pushed across the tab le A li ttle pile of I coins which had been counted out already, clearly showing t h a t he Intended from the first to m ake use of th e opportunity.

F o r the first tim e Joe Redbolt looked an g ry .. I t w as adding Insult to in jury to send him aw ay a t a mom ent’s no­tice, a s If he had disgraced himself.

Hfe w as alone in the world, w ith no prospect b u t th a t of com menc­ing life ag a in -in some counting house, and— Then suddenly he rem em bered. Only tw o n ights before he had a tten d ­ed drill a t {he headquarters of h is vol­un teer corps. T he men had been ask ­ed which of them w ished tf> jo in the C.I. V. for the front. He though t of the glow, th a t had burned, through his veins, how he had longed to .offer him ­self and had only been prevented by his feeling of obligation to his old fr ie n d ’s business. Now he w as free!

T h a t settled it. Old England w as in need of help from men such as he. Hje w as as sound as a. bell In wind and limb. H e*had done his tu rn a t volun­teering and could shoot m ore th a n a little.

W ith in ha lf an hour his nam e w as entered as one o f .those who w ere ready fo r service a t th e 'fro n t, and he w as or­dered to go befo re th e doctor.' T h a t gentlem an laughed a t him.

“ I f w e get 1,400 men as fit as you are ,” he said, “w e shall do well!”

H aving successfully passed all the te s ts and been duly enrolled as one of th e C ity of London Im perial volunteer corps, he fe lt slightly easier in his mind.

M ost o f us g e t these a tta ck s o f de­spondency some tim e in our lives, and, to te ll th e tru th , it la sted a very sh o rt tim e w ith Jo e Redbolt. A fter a few days of hard drill be bad lost s igh t of th e possibility of g e tting killed and w as looking fo rw ard to m aking th ings as unp leasan t as possible fo r the ene­my.

A t la s t the final m om ent came. B e had a ttended the services a t S t P au l’s and sung th e national an them un til he w as hoarse. He bad been slapped on the back by hundreds o f w arm hearted b u t heavy handed citizens. H e had ev^n fough t his w ay successfully th rough a mob o f en thusias tic pa trio ts a ll th e w ay from B unhill row to Nihe E lm s, w here he w as one of th e first to arrive.

T here stood the tra in w aiting to take th em to Southam pton. There, too, .Stood th e long suffering band, and every m inute groups of breathless, ex ­cited , men In khaki, who had also fough t th e ir w ay th rough th e crowd, rushed on to the platform .

Of course it w as all over. There w as noth ing to be done b u t ge t Into the tig ln and say goodby to old London fo r m onths—perhaps forever. Once m ore a gloomy sense o f loneliness came upon him. Everybody else had a chum or a relative to see him off. And then— an angel cam e from heaven T Not quite. B u t an ea rth ly angel appeared In the shape of a sligh t form in & long, black cloak, who w as pushing her w ay feverish ly through the crowd, eagerly scanning the faces o f all th e “gentle­m en in khaki.”

T hen th e ir eyes m et. and in a m inute he w as clasping ' in his arm s the girl w ho had refused him a m onth before and, In w hose presence he had a lw ays been so shy th a t he had never yet dared to p ress h e r hand.

How had It happened? There seem ed no need, and certain ly no time, for ex­planations. W hy had he accepted her foolish “no” w hen she never m eant him to? She a lw ays though t he w ould speak to her again. W hy had he been so aw kw ard and brusque In th e w ay he had asked het? H e bad r iv e n her no chance to say “yes.” And It w as only la st n igh t she had learned w hat had happened—from D ew hurst’s own lips—and she had cried all night a t the m ischief she had done, and would he forgive h e r2 And did he still ca re for he r a little b it?

w ard the end of June, having nothing p articu lar to do, I saun tered in the direction of the Chelsea College gar­dens. This shady little nook holds the home of some of our old soldiers. There they sat, in solemn row s of fours and fives, on th e wooden benches in the cool, green- avenue, dream ing aw ay th e long sum m er afternoon, w hile they w atched the children a t play on the g rass before them .

A great longing cam e over "me to learn som ething of th e ir lives.

I f I could come across one alone, I thought, the re m ight be a chance of it. So, w ith a lingering, backw ard look a t th e old fellow s, I w alked on„ until I cam e to a m ore sec luded ; p a r t of the gardens, w here th e pensioners cu lti­va ted little plots of ground and sold flowers and fe rn s to th e nurses and children, the proceeds of w hich en­abled them to buy tobacco and rum and o th e r sm all luxuries.

I t had been Intensely hot, b u t now a refresh ing breeze w as tossing thd lilac and laburnum trees, a n d in the cool o f the day th e old men w ere all h a rd a t work; w atering , weeding and rak ing a w ay ,! w hile they sm oked and changed opinlpns a s to th e ir respective nurseries.

C rossing th e gravel path , 1 cam e upon a bed composed en tire ly of m ig­nonette. I ts frag rance w as delight­fu l, and I paused a^m om ent to eh joyth e s c e n t \ \ '

This little garden excited m y \u r lo s - ity, and I looked w ith in terest at-The gardener. H is face w as th in and lined, w ith an expression of settled m elan­choly on it, b u t th e re w as som ething In th e large, da rk eyes and sensitivem outh th a t took my fancy.

“H ere Is a n opportunity-,” I th o u g h t “H e looks like a-'n ice , approachable old m an and, I dare say, wofild be glad tci have a c h a t ” .

A t th a t mom ent, a s if by som e Bud- den transition o f mind, he glanced up and fixed his speaking orbs on me.

“W h a t lovely m ignonette!” I ex­claim ed by w ay of opening fire.

H e smiled, b u t It w as such a sad sm ile 1 w ished he h adn ’t; I t somehow m ade me feel Rick and sorry. *

“L et m e cu t you some, m adam ,” he said gravely. “I w ill In a m om ent, If you can w a i t” .

“P lease, oh, I should like noth ing bet­te r :” I answ ered, seating m yself and looking on contentedly, w hile my new friend w en t to w ork w ith a long pa ir of ru s ty scissors.

H is face Interested me, strangely, none the less when I noticed th a t th e V ictoria cross adorned his b reast. How could t ge t him to ta lk ?” •

‘M ay I ask w hy you cu ltiva te only one flower?” 1 Inquired, w ith sudiden Inspiration . . , }

H e looked a t me again In th a t intense w ay of his fo r a t leas t a m inu te w ith ­o u t speaking, then said irre levan tly :

‘You have a good, kind face, lady, and”—I

H e paused.“T hank you fd r say ing so,” I rejo in­

ed, som ew hat tam ely, feeling baffled and w ondering w ha t w as com ing n e x t

“ You asked me ju s t now w hy I only grew one flower. I w ill te ll you if you care to listen.”

“Yes,” I replied eagerly; “ l am a ll a t ­ten tion .”

“ I t happened so long ago, ye t it seems only like yesterday . Mignon, Mignon!” be ha lf m urm ured to him self.

I coughed softly to rem ind him o f my presence.• “Lady, did you ever love any one very dearly?” he asked abruptly .

“H ave I?” I returned, som ew hat ta k ­en aback by th is unexpected question. “W ell, yes, I ' h ave been fond o f several people I have m et a t d ifferent tim es of my life;" w as my. d iscreet rejoinder.

“Those tw o w ere th e only ones I ca red fo r in th is world—M ignon and R alph S tanley.”

“ W ho w as Mignon?” I queried gen­tly , fo r the old m an’s face w as fu ll of em otion w hen he spoke her name.

“ I a lw ays called her Mignon and so did he,” he continued, w ithou t heeding m e; “th e nam e suited her so welL She w as never w ithout a slip o f th is”— touching th e flowers In my lap—“in her b e lt or gown. She had a . passion for m ignonette. T h a t is w hy we called her Mignon, and she w as as sw eet as th e flower Itself, w ith her bluebell eyes and n u t brow n hair.”

“W ho w as this; other?”- I ventured to a sk after, a pause.

A gain the veteran seem ed to forget m y existence as be sighed and said m usingly:

"T o th in k th a t 1 never guessed i t A nd they w ere such a bonny pa ir too. She could n o t help loving htm ^tbgrgen- ial, handsom e laddie. Men and officers a like In o n r regim ent sim ply adored him.” ■ - 1’ i

“H e served w ith you, then?”“Yes, b u t I w as only in the ranks,

w hile he held a com mission.”“Y et you w ere friends'?”“F riends—aye, th a t we w ere; from

o n r schoolboy days we w ere chum * W hen R alph w as sen t to th e Crim ean w ar, I th re w every th ing to the winds, en listed in h la regim ent a n ^ w ent, too. mad w evfpn g b t in m any a fierce b a ttle together. B u t one though t kept n s up th rough aD—d e a r little Mignon. th e

My' glance w andered to the -flowers bloom ing a t my fjeet as I tried! to pic­tu re the little scene p u t before me.

“ And R alph loyed Mignon as well as L” he pursued, “though uelther of us knew th e o ther’s secret. I Well,, those happy days cam e to an end. Young Stanley leftt us to study for the arm y, w hile I rem ained to s tagna te iD my fa th e r’s office In town.

“ H ow I envied R alph’s'' luck! .Not th a t I grudged him any good th ing , but my lot In li fe '‘d id poem hard In coni; parison to h is ; ' As the tim e passed my restlessness and d iscontent increased.

I m ade up; m y mind to go, too, in the ranks, o f the sam e regiment. H ere w as an opportunity n o t to, be lost o f leading a m ore glorious life—to fight fox* my country, my people and for th e love of ‘old England.’

“ How I dream ed of the home com ing a f te r the- work w as done! D eath had no p lace in my mind.

I though I would pour out m f h ea rt and te ll her I had come back to claim her, never to part any more. Ah, If I had b u t know n!”

H e smiled aga in In his melancholy w ay and continued:

“Yes. if I had only know n th a t she cared for R alph I should have been spared m any a heartache In afte r years.”

The bid so ld ier gazed abstrac ted ly a t his m ignonette and doubtless lived over again th a t m em orable cam paign, w hile I w ondered |lf th e cross qn his b reas t had anything, to do w !tb bis history. H e answ ered my glance.
