MUCH BUSINESS ILK BEFORE COUNCIL MAY AS REIGN WANES OF I The life of the present city ad m in tet rut lull Is nearlng un end with the approach of tho new year, and while the city council meeting for next Tuesday night will he the last regular one for that body, at least two more special meetings will probably be held to close up the affairs of the present administra tion, as on January (J next the new mayor, K, M. Wilson, and the new city council will nssumc office. In fact thero Is such tt large prist of city business already ahead that the meeting Tuesday night will be divided into two sessions, tho one of that night adjourning over to Wednesday evening. This Is because most of the city officials desire to attend the Mes siah oratorio, to bo presented by local talent at the Holly theater Tuesday evening and It would be impossible for the council to trans act all present pending business in time to attend the oratorio. Therefore the city council ses sion will be convened at 7 o'clock that evening, instead of at 7:30, the TjHutil hour, and the city fath ers .will :transact business for one hour, and adjourn the meeting over until Wednesday evening. Even if nil. pending business is completed on those two evenings it Is expected that additional busi ness arising between that time and January 6th will necessitate two special meetings. "One of the landmarks In tho llellvlew district for many years, the A. C. Joy peach orchard, is being pulled out." says the Ash land ' Tidings. "This orchard was wet out nearly 50 years ago by tho late Chas. Loomls. Mr. Loomls as a boy helped to clear tho land and set out the trees, "The orchard is almost the old est commercial peach orchard In the valley. During the last 20 odd years that Mr. Joy has owned the orchard there has been but one total failure of crop, three partial failures of 50 per cent or less. Mr. Joy estimates that ho has harvest ed close to 1000 tons of peaches from the orchard. Ilufu.s King, an other old IJellvieu' resident, pruned the trees for tho last 'JO years. "The fruit was practically all of the Muir variety. , "To see these old, well known trees uprooted will be the loss of one of the well known landmarks of the early settling and planting In the IJellview district."

Becky and Aunt Polly, In jun Joe and Muff Potter at the Fox Craterian theater yesterday when "Tom Sawyer." Mark Twain's classic of childhood, opened there for a two days' stay. "Tom Sawyer" is tho kind of material that the talking screen was made for. 'And in tho hands of such capable young playom as Jncklo Coogan, Mitzi Oreen and Junior Durkln. it Is well-nigh the greatest story ever told In audible celluloid. Paramount should be credited with faultless showmanship In Its manner of treating this immortal theme; the production is faithful to the letter. Every whit of Mark Twain's original 1s beautifully, im pressively translated to tho screen. No greater recommendation is required. No greater could be written. The only picture that ever np prcmched It for sheer magnificence of direction, production and acting Is "Peter Pan' but "Peter Pan'' 'un a silent picture.

Chapter 1G FANNY WINS WASHINGTON PANNY took to the luxury ot Juliette's home like a cat to cream, but slio never got over the thrill oC bavins her bath drawn and scented, her breakfast thought to her bedside. "Mr. Chamberlain told me last nig lit that 1 was as ethereal as marsh-mist ho ought to see mo now." grinned Fanny ouo morning as she was pouring thick yellow cream on her oatmeal. "1 suppose, darling Juliette, that It's a bit gross to enjoy food so much but not at a party. Ouo is supposed to have a good time at a party. Ann It s always a party to havo breakfast la bed." No debutante ever had Their first days wcro spent In an orgy ot shopping. David recent ly bad made 91,000 on the stock exchange and given half of It to Fanny. Juliette suggested that she take charge of this that Bhe was a better bargainor than Fanny: but she never asked tho price ot any thing, and bought, and bought until Fanny protosted: Jullotte laughed and went on buying. Fanny knew David would not like Iter to accept clothes from his cou sin; but what could she do? She couldn't hurt Juliette's feelings, and tho things were so lovely, and any way David didn't know what women's clothes cost. On the third evening of Her stay Juliette gave a dinner tor 40, with olliora In to dance. Tho afternoon was glorious, and Fanny itched to be out In the sun shine but sho was hidden to stay at home and rest. At 5 Alicia. Juli ette's maid, brought hnr lea by her sitting room Die and afterward brushed and bruHhed her bolr until It shone, In tho firelight like strands ot copper and gold. At 7 she drew Fnuuy's bath, scented It, helped her Into whlsps ot iindergurmeiits, did hor balr. fastened hoi gown. And ut 3, as Fanny went down tho stairs to Join Jullotto In the drawing room she caught slfclit of herself In a long gilt pier glass In the lowor hall nnd knew for the first time that she was beautiful. She was wearing n simply cut frock of cream colored sntln and Jullotlo's pearls and quaint old paste buckles on her satin slippers. Allda had pulled her hair straight back and colled It cunningly In a great burnished knot that seemed almost too heavy for hor slender neck. CouM tMa be her, elf? this proud lovely girl with the stn-ry eyes? Sho always had known that she was pretty, hut not HVe this. not llko the girl In the mirror. It only David could see hor now!

Sbe was ' happier toulgbt without David, No popular ddbutante ever bad! sucb a rush as Fanny. It was not her beauty many In Washington wore more beautiful but rather her ji'rcui ectbuslasm, her delicate personal perception, nor radiant pleasure in all that was done for her that made her so quickly pop ular. "I did not know that a beautiful woman could be so unspoiled," a white-haired old gentleman sold to. her. ; "1 shan't be unspoiled long If you pav n.e such pretty compliments," said Panny shyly, looking up nt hira and then quickly dropping her eyes. "Why do you give so much time to your olderly cavaliers?" asked Juliette. "Oh, I dou't know perhaps bo haps because I was always hunger ing when 1 was llttlo for my father to lovo me and he didn't. Any way, I llko nice old gentlemen. They are so pleased, the sweet old denrs. when they find 1 really do like them." A major general, who certainly such a rush as Fanny. novor thought ut hluisolt as elderly. taught hor to ride. A bachelor a in bnssador gave a Venetian fete In her honor that was the high palm of the season. A famous senator. who had lost his wife not too long bo for o. gave her a breakfast, and n'nted that It Fanny were free he might cot bo Inconsolable; he could not think ot ber as married, be said. Others told her the same. A good many men tried to make love to ber; and Fanny scolded them, or laughed at them geutly and once or twice was so genuinely distressed at a hint of real feeling that a ccrtalu very ynung under secretary was moved lo tears ol rogret for his scarlet past; and a certain blase attache with tired, burnt-out oye- told her she would remain a white memory as long as he lived. "I had almoit forgotten." the man said, "that women, ynung woman, could be simple and natural and sweet. You ard so Incredibly sweet, my white one. Will you da me one favor, one last favor?". "Of course I will," Funny. "Will you let me draw the cur tain no ono will see us and stand horo with me In the dark, your hand In mine, and watch the mmiu rise.? It will tnke only a tow minutes thero Is a light already on .the edge of tho world. It wlil mean nothing to you a great deal to me." Fanny noddod. Ho drew the cur tains close, and tor a little longer than five minutes they stood silently hand In hand, watching a great lighted Chinese lantern climb Inch by Inch over a bend In the Potomso and turn the black waters to rip pling silver. "The path to the moon see, my sweet, there Is still a path to the moon." The hand that held Fanny's tightened; and then he bent low and kissed her hand, drew the cur tains and took her back to the sup per room. rcovvriuht rft.'t). hv Ja(l Uowt Fnrnhamt Tomorrow fortun, I, Isle It Fnny', Irrt.
