R. F. Elliott Over the Telephone. : Hon. Adam Beck, chairman of 'the hydrs-electric commission, has anoth- er proposition to offer Kingston in the way of cheap power. He irelephon- ed Ald. R. F. Eliott, chairman of the light, heat and power committee, Fri- day morning from Toronto, to say that he would like to address a public meeting here next week, ore be lft for England, as he had ing new to offer. Mr. Deck stated that he had closed ardangements with the Wad- dington, N.Y. company for the de livery of 60,080 Lorsepower lor eastern Ontario. The hydro-electric chairman would not say what his new proposition was. Ald. Elliott remarked that he looked upon the matter entirely as a business proposition, and could not see that there was much necessity of a public meeting, but readily acceded. to Mr. Beck's request to arrange for one. He will consult the mayor, and have a meeting called some evening next week in the city hall, to suit the con- venience of Mr. Beck. Auy proposition the hyaro-electric commission has to make will have to go to the light, heat and power com- mittee. Ald. Elliott wanted it sent down at once in writing, but Mr. Beck said he would bring it with him. The light, heat®and power commit: tee is beginning to think that it may have new propositions before it al year in the way of power offers and Ald. Elliott stated that it would be advisable for the city to appoint an expert as soon as possible and have im report upon the proposition that would be the better suited for King- ston. The report that the Seymour company is making a further offer to | | the cigy has agnia wakened the Hydro Electric commission, which does not want to lose Kingston as a customer in its eastgrn Ontario plan.

(feet. Placid, habit-bound, solitary, the | house and its owner had grown with | the flying years, { Into this measured sgehusion the, small village obtruded little interrup- | tion. * With the chatter of village talk | and the clack of idle gossip Margaret | had nothing in common. A slight mess, quite imperceptible to less sensitive spirits than her own, re | moved her a bit further from compan ionship. Her family, her mother's peo- | | ple, i her "quiet," slowly de- | tached themselves from her. Gradual | ly her hfe was absorbed into her | books, her garden, her sewing and her | household cares, until the world out- | side her own timeworn browh fence | palings and the hedge of yellow roses, | came to have the wunreality of a! dream. | True, dreams of the future had) come to her earlier moods; the femi- | inine yearning for some ome to share | {her life, for tiny fingers to disturb | the monotony of orderliness that per-| {vaded the house. But time and habit | 'had swallowed these creations of her | "Toe § cottage cuddled The events of human experience, | death, love, pain, sorrow, fear, left her untouched, appearing to her lone- ly aloofness as unreal as the human beings they 'blessed and cursed. i Even Jacob Wilkins, in the big white house beyond the rose-hedge, {had long since lost the quality of ac- {tual earthly existemce. He shovelled | the mow regularly from her walk in winter; he sawed her wood and stacked it neatly in the tiny "leanto"; he trimmed her hedges and mowed | the grass plot; but he never ventured into her garden or her sitting room. | {So even he, in time, grew to be {lacking in the human qualities as the elements he protected her from thus generously and carefully. i To a sense, however, of his very | genuine protection, Margaret's awak- | ening came rudely enough. A dirty | tramp shuffled in one summer after-| noon from the outer haze of things, ! within the funge of Margaret's near- | sighted vision. Catching a realization | of her lonely selessuess, he de | manded food and money, stepping' thregteningly along the stone walk to-{ ward the startled woman. i Fear gripped her relentless, over- whelming fear, all the more dreadful | for the lomg years of impunily it had | granted fo her inexperience. She could not scream, not rum, nor defend her- | self; she froze into a moveless image! of Iright. ; "You clear out of here quick, you | ormery cuss !" : Margaret's eyes lifted to the smiling | gaze of Jacob Wilkins. Even in her disarray of ideas, memories of sleigh- | rides, of parties, of picmics, of moon-; hight walks with the youthful counter- | part of this man struggled for her at tention, but the tremors of fright stifled them again. With his usual un | assertiveness, he ventured to take her trembling fingers, gently, slowly, into | his big hands. | "It ain't right, Margaret, for you to live here alone like this. It ain't safe for you," he explained softly, as ifhe comprehended the shock to her awak- ened helplessness. She could only shiver with the pass ing of the terror. She felt his anxious {eyes reading her face as for some "Would you--do you think--don't ivou believe--could you come over to | !the big house and live with me and jlet me look after you? It woud be | safer," he added, breathlessly. The abrupt invasion of the things of this world had left her powerless to think or to act. Her universe was crumbling to pieces beneath her feet. | All that he meant she did not com- | prehend. She knew only that his fin- | gers were kind and strong, his voice | tender and assuring.

Her heart warmed to the good will and gladness in the words of congratulation. Margaret had just begun to feel the sence, when he said : "Let's go over to see the big house,' He led her from the little brown cloister to the house that stood close by the highways of men. : Aching from the aloneness of the years, chilled with the strangeness of the big rooms, she looked over the new home and its master, her hus band. She owned u feeling of glaa, ness only when Jacob said : "No. tramp can frighten vou here Margaret mine." Then as if he understood some tine part of het struggle to adjust hersel to the well-nigh unbearable lack of familiar things. "Run along, honey, to your garden whilé Mirandy gets us ous wedding supper." With flying feet she sped from the proposed festivity. With clutching fingers she pulled down to her burn ing face the tall svringas and the am- hitious chmbers. By degrees the plexing 'universe outside the brown fence slipped back into its proper desuetude and the joy in her flower friends soothed jangled nerves and troubled memories into forgetfulness. | Suipping a twig here, kissing a blos 5 | som there, stopping to talk to the purple and gold faces in the pansy bed, she slowly made her way, just as the had so many summer evenings in the twenty years of solitude, to the little kitchen door. With the habitual repetition of her narrow round of conduet, she washed her hands in the tin basin and threw the water gently on the morning glory vines at the window, Turning to the pile of kindling wood beside the store, che started a fire and set the tea ket- tle to boil. Into the tiny brown tea- pot she dropped the usual pinch of tea leaves and set it on the hearth, On the table she placed the tiny cloth; beside the blue plate she placed the napkin in the old silver ring and the blue cup and saucer; from the cooky jar in the pantry she took two seed cookies, as usual, and put them on a small blue plate in close com: | junction with: the white dish of straw In reply to the tea ket whistle of readiness was the. boiling water rom {he ' she tle's pouring ET pear-.
