B uiberta wert taking itep up in life. From being birds of pa.--age in a tenement bouse, free
to flit i i te midnight traia to auatla w' er fancy dictated, they were evolving into landowners and had boi.L'ht. a liouse. It was a very little house on the hillside, which Overlooked the village where .lean Aubert and De ia and Henri worked
in the mills, but two acres of land Went with it, and already the little' Auberta m re growing rosv and fatleggod. Hitherto tho pates of 1'aralise had been effectually closed to them, and with woods and fields no more than half a mile away and the whole strict on the other side lined with green lawns to triupt their ery eyes, they bad never till now kicked up their heels OB ijrass. Peeping OUl Of the two street windows of the yard leas double tenement Bouse which had been their home, or playing softly round the doorstep on hot Bummer evenings, they had locked like a family of mice, noiseless, bright-eyed and shy. Mamma Aubert was the mother mouse, n thin, darkeyed, decent French-Canadian woman, seldom seen outdoors, but often of an afternoon by the window with I bald-headed baby in her arms and ii rather hectie fluafa upon her clucks, in school the little Auberta wore perennial high-Becked, knag sleeved. pink calico aprons, and still maintaining their mouse like manners did excellent work. The boys were black -eyed rogues, but like true Pren 'hrm a took kindly to Instruction in cai doffina ami excuse-Be. They
all had n L'ift for penmanship and i rawing, ind Hubert Aubert was tho artist of the school. The year before the horse wns hoiiL'ht the two eldest children had graduated into the woolen mill, and hi i a's deft flncrrs earned enough money to pay her Imnrd, clothe hertattefulty and have a little nnrgin left, which she laid by for furniture for the room which they were Poing to call parlor. There was one shadow on the fam'iy happiness, nad that was the mortgage; and just before Christmas this il !.iw begaa to assume s terming proportions. It had looked easy in the spring, when they tirst moved into the new home to meet the payaunt which was due in December. Jean Aubert was enrpenter ami maehiaiat in one of the fnctories, nnd a icady and capable man, but the process of evolution is never without a Miugele, nnd, do the best he could, the interest was nil he could pay. Erea for that, what with the cold Vinning suddenly on and his BCStfui of young ones being uncommonly hungry and hard on their clothes sfter their summer out. doors, the family resources were strained to the utmost, llelin and Henri contributed Ha ir niri"s, the parlor that wns to 1 wns shut up. and the all BBflM l"n to a Btetty strict dirt of pudfliag and m ilk. It was a poor out l"ok for Chrintmaa, for abend of them

"Ami we will say," they declared, and it WB1 a piece of philosophy Worthy of older head.-, "we will say. when the time coll.es to take olT tue presents, that this house Is our prvent." What was that?

now on trial nt UM ah. The city of t'kiah. says a San Francisco exchange, lias sued the local waterworks Com
pany for a loss of $.".70. 7." by reason of

because there was no water in the hydrants. The waterworks SyttOBB of the p BOB OOnsista of pumping, jdant on the bank of the BuSSiBB river, by which the water is r;ed to a reservoir on the side of the mountain, from which it is distributed by hatural pressure. Fire hvdrants are located nt all the prominent corners. On the night of the fire in question the agent of the water company bnd shut off the water in order to stop Hie practice of irrigating private in wns in the Bight time. By reason of this a man had to run a half D
to the reservoir to turn on the water. The delay Brae fatal, ns the block in which the fire originated vv.is almost completely destroyed Then the city made a demand upon the company for the loss sustained by the city property. The demand was refused on the ground that the water company is not nn insurer ogninst fire. Th prosecution holds, however, that under the terms ot fts frnnehise the water compar.y is bound to maintain at all timea s Bufrlclent pressure of water for all purposes, a course laClOjaV Ing tbe extlnejulshBaeBt of conflagrations.
