Mayor Hopkins signed it on condition that he have until Wednesday to withdraw it. The city council, which meets Wednesday, is said to favor an open town policy. It may become in- volved in the fight. The open town element charges that the “clean town” policy of the mayor is driving the lumbermen and woodsmen away from Aberdeen to other towns and that the city’s pros- perity is suffering because of It.

At last I was alone with Gladys, and the moment of Fate had come! All that evening T had felt ike the soldier who awalts the signal which will send him on a forlorn hope; hope of victory and fear of repulse alter: nating in his mind. Sho sat with that proud, delicate profile of hors outlined against the red curtain, How beautiful she was! And yet how aloof!

It is no com- pliment to a man. Where the real ex feeling begins, timidity and dis- trust are its companions, heritage from. old wicked days when love and | violence went often hand in hand. The head bent, the averted eye, the faltering yolce, the wincing figure— these, and not the unshrinking gaze and frank reply, are the true sig- nals of passion. Even in my short life T had learned qs much as that— or had Inherited it in that race mem: ory which we call instinct. Gladys was full of every womanly quality. Some judged her to be cold and hard; but such a thought was treagon. That delicately bronzed skin, almost orlental in its coloring, that raven hatr, the large liquid eyes, the full but exquisite lips—all the stigmata of passion were there, But T was sadly conscious that up to now T had never found the secret of draw- ing it forth. However, como what might, I should have done with sus- pense and bring matters to a head tonight. Sho could but refuse me, and better be a repulsed lover than an accepted brother, So far my thoughts had carried me, and I was about to break the long and uneasy silence, when two critioal dark eyes looked round at me, and the proud head was shaken in amiling reproof, “I have a presenti ment that you are going to propose, Ned. I do wish you wouldn't; tor things are so much nicer as they are," I drew my chalr a little nearer. “Now, how did you know that 1 was going to propose?’ I asked in gen- ulne wonder, “Don't women always know? Do as ico use you suppose any woman jn the world was ever taken unawares? But—oh, Ned, our friendship has been so good and so pleasant! What a pity to spoil it! Don't you feel how splendid it is that a young man and a young woman should be able to talk face to face as we have talked?" “I don’t know, Gladys. You see, I can talk face to face with—with the station-master.” TI can't imagine how that official came into the mat- ter; but in he trotted, and set us both laughing. “That does not sat- isfy me in the least. I want my arms round you, and your head on my breast, and—oh, Gladys, I want—" She had sprung from her chair, as she saw signs that I proposed to demonstrate some of my wants. “You've spoiled overything, Ned,” she said, “It's all so beautiful and natural until this kind of thing comes in! It is such a pity! Why can't you control yourself?” “T didn't inyent it,” I pleaded, “It's nature. It’s love. “Well, perhaps may be different. it.” “But you must—you, beauty, with your soul! you were made for love! love!" “One must ‘wait till it eomes."* “But why can't you love me, Gladys? Is it my appearance, or what?" She did unbend a little, She put forward a hand—such a gracious, stoopiiig attitude it was—and sho pressed back my head. Then sho looked into my upturned face with a very wistful smile, “No, it isn't that," sho sald at last, “You're not a conceited boy by nas ture, and so T can safely tell you) it (Turn to Page 7, Column 1) if both love, it 1 have never felt with your Oh, Gladys, You must
