CONDENSED SPORTING CHAT.
At lost water was running ln Tarlan,
and tbe droam ot the Inhabitants ot that
town was realized.
It had taken ten years to raise tho funds,
three years to find the spring, four yean
to discuss the details of tho scheme, two
years to ohoose tbe contractor and six
months to lay the pipe*
The glgantio undertaking had been com
pleted ln 20 year* For such a work 20
years was not too mneh.
Well, as has been said, water was at
last running ln Tarlan, and the inhabit
ants—men, women and children—turned
the fauoota continually to admire tho
abundance and freshness of tbe water.
“Firs can come now as soon as It wants
to,” said some of the citizen* “We nro
quite ready for it.”
Fire was what the Tarlaneso most
dreaded, and It gave them the greatest Joy
to think that now they were safe from
this awful toe. Some of them were ready
to start a fire Just for the sake ot seeing
tho pump work.
They needn’t have been so anxious, for
firo broke out of Its own accord at mid
night. It gained ground so quickly that
tho peoplo ln tbe house whore it appeared
had barely time to escapo.
Suddenly tho alarm hells started tho
midnight air. As they rubbed their eyes
the Tarlaneso said, “Now tbo fin U hen
nt last,” as If they thought they had
caught their enemy ln a trap.
Sonin turned out hastily to watch tho
triumph of tho pump; others gotuplazlly,
saying: “It's no business of ours now.
The pump will settle that all right.”
Nobody thought of Its being necessary
to find the pump and tho fininon.
The first arrivals satisfied themselves by
taking up a good position pom which they
could watch the dofent of 4he firo, whoso
progress they ngardsd Indifferently, with
tholr hands in their pockst* They talked
louldy and boostlngly, as pooplo will who
hays nothing to do, but they didn’t stir a
finger as they said:
“Tlio firemen aren't here yet" “Tho
prnnp must be brought hero." “Tbo
mayor's house Isn't far away. If they
don't hurry up, the fire wiii bo goicing
hold of that." "They say tho mayor has I
thokeys.” “Well, let him bring them. ” |
“Rut perhaps ha's away at his country
seat.” “If he's ln Paris, we shall hnvo '
to wait till begets hero." “He coulda't
know that fire would b-cak out tonight.” |
"The pump belongs to us as well ns to
him. It ought to bo whore It can bo got
nt. Tho flames are mounting.” "What’s
that matter? Do you think they are going
to turn out the pump fora little firo which
would hardly boll porridge? When It
broke out, a couple of buoketfuls would
hnvo quenched It. What good would
pumps bo now?”
The gendarmes, who were stamping
with Impntlonce and anger, tried to or
ganize chains of men.
“Certainly not," responded the Tarls-
ncse wratbfully. “Do you think wo shall
make arrests for you next? Every man to
his trade."
One house was burned down and two
more worn ln flames when the famous
pump finally appeared on tho seen*
“Ah,” sighed tho Tarlaneso, “now tho
firo will havo something to drink."
Tho pump was got Into position, and
tho men began to work It, when, to their
disgust, tboy found that thcro was no wa
ter to bo had. Tho water had been shut

Tho poor firemen did wlint they could
and what tho spectators had already dbno

were burned down from celling to cellar,
snd, worst of all, n woman was burned to
death. Tho fire had broken oat In the next

Something must bn wrong with tho
pump!" And lie escaped by tbo window,
calling on bis wlfo to follow him. Sho
was so terrified that sho could not follow
bis example. The smoko suffocated her,
and sho fell a victim to the flames.
Tho famous pump got into action by the
time there waa nothing inoro to burn, hut
It put out tbo hot clntlors so quickly that
tbo Tarlaneso were enchanted with It.
"Just-watch,” they said, “how H send*

And tho good folks were quite satisfied.

Is formed or modeled to do at IMfull a cer

more. "Them am three things that come
not beck," said the ancient oaliph—“the
sped arrow, tho Improper thought nnd tho
spoken word." He might hnvo added a
fourth—a vltei act. No vital act roturn*
no more than tbe tick of the second In the
timepiece. Wo may make the vital sets
run out ln a brief tlm* fast, fast, but wo
can never recall them.
Wo are the watches of 1U* with this
