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."
