Campbell, Coun. D.  McKenzie and the clerk, C. St. G.  Yarwood.  The stories, were to the effect  that   the three ia|bove  named had  'entered kito a" conspiracy ;by  which' Mr. -Yarwood was 'enabled  to secure the position of, clerk, the  reeve and Councillor McKenzie a-  greeing to pay him the difference-  between his former salary and the  amount ol hiis tender put of their  own- pockets.  ���������   Messrs. J. H. Starr,-Jay Starr, F.  Munroe and J. L. Atkinson whose  n mes h jd been mnind with-rc-  gard to circulating the stories had.  been requested to be present. Mr.  F. Munroe \yas first called and admitted  having repeated the story  complained   of   to   W.   H.  Fraser,  Justifying   himself   by  saying  McKenzie had cold him so.' This Coun  'McKenzie   denied.   The  reeve stated that the matter of paying Mr.  Yarwood  an -extra, allowance had  been -/discussed, but that Mr.^Yaa--  .wood Jiad,flatly refused to accept  anything"   beyond   the /amount   of  his tender and that no promiseiwas  ..ever' made ..to 'pay. him  anything  and- that noting had ever been paid  Lir intended to be paid to him beyond   the  amount of his salary.  Ex-Reeve Atkinson, who ' was  present stated that public officials  must expect to be criticised and he  did not see that the council or clerk  had anjihng to complain of. Mr.  Yarwood on the other hand claim1  ed that a thorough enquiry was  absolutely necessary to establish  the truth or falsity of the 'stories  as in his opinion the charges made  were almost of a   criminal nature.

The name  of the new proprietor is Mr. S  Brooke who will take possession at  an early date.   ���������LI  THE   MARKET.  New Westminster, March 3.���������The  market this morning was the best  and busiest-of the year, the continued warm weather and improved travelling conditions being the  reason. The spring weather has  brought out a ��������� large number of  visitors as well as the regular buyers and- sellers, who came to the  market in force. The arrival of  the. Huntingdon local was an usually interesting event .over 100  persons arriving on the electric  train, as well as a large quantity  of produce. The unloading of the  freight was facilitated by the use  of two new trucks purchased by  the city and used for the first time  More meat was offered on the  market than at any time this season, and" buying w.as brisk, the  buyers being willing totake all  that offered and more had it been  obtainable. There was no mutton  or.lamb offered, the season being  yet too early. Beef while a fair  supply, was not sufficient to meet  the requirements and the price per  carcass advanced 'slightly.'. The  buyers say that there is little beef  in  the country to bring in.   Veal  and   pork .was plentiful,  the veaf  season having now'arrived.  The egg market is still going  down as the quantity of eggs a-  vailaiblje becomes greater week by  w/eek.. Last week the retail market closed at 40c, to-day none of  the vendors obtained over 35c, and  the wholesale sellers obtained only 25c a dozen for their produce. ���������  All were*disposed of at quotations  In the poultry section, conditions  remained much the same as-at the  close of last week's market. Prices  continued - firm, and the dema'nd  was good. On account of ihe high,  figures asked, however, many prospective, buyers decided to postpone their purchasing fur a time  Thi'a aided by the fact that 'the  supply was fairly good had the effect of preventing any tendency to  jump prices and the market finally  closed in the same positi in as &t  the opening. Although the. buying was a little slower, the en-  tirel   offerings  were* finally   taken  There; was a larger variety of  fish oh the irtrarket than .it any previous time this year.  ��������� There' was a   medium' supply of ���������  . ,-pota toes, ..all ^of^h^h^er.e.iBpld;  By- the tori'they realized from' $30  to $32, som'e of which were Bold but  not  obtaining ai   dollar more. By  the sack the potatoes, fetched $1.75  A small supply of turnips and ca-r-'  rots   for  table  use   was' offered, '  The demand for apples is increas  ing   with  the 'spring   weather ������.nd  the small supply offered is having  a- tendency to raise the price. No  2 grade apples to-day sold ac 25c  a   box more than the same grade  of fruit last,week. There is only   a  small quantity of fruit left on the  farms   according   to   the   growers  and the pricej.is expected by them  to improve until the new fruit arrives.

"Naturally it would not be possible to make the use of the school  cap .compulsory as ,i,s done in the  private schools. This .would .not  be necessary.

And she never fails to  trot out a new,,, article for inspection. The last one was building a badly needed addition to  the charity hospital.' She-did it,'  too.

Kent's laugh was sudden, geniality itself; "Talk? Oh yes. But  don't feel that you must put yourself out, Apker. -Belle won't expect it.

"Belle  is  charming, of  course,"  he confessed to himself in high elation.      "And   then  they're  complimenting iny   taste.   Nice      old  boys." .  But at the end of the week there  w. estrange little prickings, sir1  twinges of���������he .didn't know what. '  It was not thathe was distrustful  ^r jealous.

With himself she was, as always  quiet and serious, full of fheoriea  and plans. With Apker she was  another being, radiant and beaut-  fu). Something had changed her;  that  much  was certain. But  then "  Kent caugght  at a   straw.   She  -was happy that he was home     a-  , gain, that the long summer, their  very last apart, was before them  the life that was to iconic afterward. How perfectit was to bo I  Troubles? Yes of course. Troublco  came to everybody but with.such  . sympathy and understanding as  they gave to each other, troubles  wmild be easily met and borne.  There was nothing, not a cloud,'  not a mote to, mar the fair fahric  of their future.  The last vestige of disquiet fled  while; Belle, again his old S;lf, sat  on the stops leading to him. While  he listened he pulled yellow and  white honeysuckles from ah old  trellis and/ strung them on green,  stems, fastening them at.last in  her hair and in iand out among the  lace of her dress. v-  "We'll be very happy, Belie," he-  smr'led, holding her off, admiring  ly when he had finished and Belle  rawed twitching lips and full eyes  to say, q uite steadily, "Yes, dear"  Kent's eyes were moist jtoo, from  very happiness, and after that  there were no more prickings and  .������mges. ,*  There was no tunc indeed for  anything except merriment. Ideal  weather made rowing and fishing  and all kinds of picknicking posB-  :ble, and somehow it happened that  with Belle and Apker's pairing  Trixy fell to him. That was at  first. Afi(jer,w,ard he sought her,  forgettingto take stock of Belle's  doings.'  He was acknowledging to himself that last evening of the house  party, lying full length in the  grass at the edge of the water in  a great sweep of sunset beauty  Just such another glow, he was  thinking had colored all things for  him.  Fibers of his inmost self, it  seemed, had been touched to life  by Trixy's appealing ways and  pretty  helplessness. >  He was conscious of a tenderness,' a warmth of protective  feeling that had never gone out to  Belle, his chum, his brain's compan  ion.  NNature he argued solved hard  problems, usually, too,, to everybody's satisfaction. Perhaps nature was wiser than even the. wis-  yank the teeth out of his head if  he makes a motion or step that,  does not suit. you.
