"You aru the owner of these. lots'.'" aid the -spokesman of the committee. "I am," replied .-smith, with Irwin ing gravity. "Will you sell a portion of ground, ay live acres, to thu city'.'" "l'or what purpose?" Smith knew very well lor wliat purpose ine laiiti as wauteil. "Wu liavu decided to .-et apart about live acres of ground, and Improve II as kind ol park, nr public promt uadc," , "Ilavo you indeed'.' Well, I like1 that," Miiil Smith, with animation. "It liow.s tliu right kind of public spirit." "Wu have, moreover, decided that the best location will lie at the north , end of the town.," "Decidedly my opinion," returned Smith. "Will you sell us the ictiitlreil acres V" asked one of Ihu loimclliiiun, That will depend somewhat upon whcie.otl wisli lo locale the park." Thu particular location w.is named. ,;i'iiu very spot," replied Smith roiiiptly, "upon w bleb 1 have decided to creel four lows ol dwellings." "Hut II is too far out for that," was naturally obji cletl. " di, no. Not a rod. The cily Is npitlly growing in that direction. I have only to put up the dwellings refer red lo, and dozens will bu anxious to purchase lots anil build all around Ihcm. Won't Ihu ground to the lelt ol lhat you speak of answer as well'.'" liut the committee replied in the neg ative. Thu lot they bail mentioned wa- the one decided upon its best suited for the purpose, and they were not pre- ared to think ofany other location. All this Smith understood very well. He was not only willing, hut anxious for tho'Vlty lo purchase the lot they were negotiating lor, All no wauieti wits to get a good round price for the same say four or live times the real value. So ho feigned lndill'ereii''e, and threw dlfllcultlcs Id thu way. A few years tlruvlnin to this time, Smith had pnrcha-etl a considerable tract of land at the north of tho then nourishing vlllngo, at Illty dollars an acre. Its present value was about three hundred dollars an acre. After a L'ood ileal of talk oil both sides, Smite dually agreed to -ell tlio particular lot pitched upon. The next was to arrange as lo price. "At what do you hold this ground per aero .

Then ho advan ced to six, In seven nnd In eight hun dred, Ami still he Ml undecided. "I can get my own price," said lie to hini-eir. "The city lias to pay and I might Ju-t as well get a huge stun a-a small onu," 'Tor what price will you ellV" question was repeated. Tim "1 uiusl nnveu goon price." "Wearo willing lo nav what Is fair ami right. "Of course. No doubt you have llxed a 1'mlt to which you w ill go." "Not exaclly that," said ono or the gentlemen. "Are jou pri'imred lo liuiko an offer."1 "Wu are prepared In bear your price, nnd to make report llicicon," iwis- re- piled, "Tlial'is n very valnahln lot of urouud," wild Smith. "Nnine your price," returned one of Hie eoiniiilltee men, u little Impatiently. This brought up to the point, Smlili, nfler thlnklnc hurrli'illy for n few mo iiK'nls1, f.ihl : "One thousand dollar an nere." l'.otli tho ineii shook tbelr heads 'n n very posliive way. Smith . said II was the lowest he eoultl take; and m '.he iiinference ended, At the nexi meeting of llieclty co.in ells, n report un ihetown lot was inniie, uiul tho extraordinary ileniiuu! of Smith cauva-ctl.

He believed that he eoultl t,rct live thousand (Molars as easily in two ; and ipilotcd his conscience by the slave "An article Is always worth what It will brills." A week or two went by, and Sinith was calliuc upon one of the menibcrs of tho councils, to say that, If thu eilv really wanted tho lot, he would sell at their price, Ieaviiij,'lt with the eomiell to act Justly and generously, when n friend -aid to him. "1 hinr that theciitilicil hatl the .sub ject of a public square under considera tion lids inorninir ," "Indeed,', Smith was visibly excited, though lie Hied to appear calm. "Vest and I also hear thai thev have decided to pity tliu extrava''iuit mice you asked for n lot of ground nt the north end of the city." "A thousand dol!ua an ttcie'."' "Yes." "Its real value, and not a cent more," said Smith. "l'eople ditl'oraho.il tli.it. However, you aru lucky," said the friend, "the city is nblu to pay." "So 1 think. And I mean they shall." Jlel'oio the Cominlleu lo whom the matter was jrlveu In charge, had time to call upon Smith and clo-u with him for the lot, tliatgenlleman had conclutl un in hisown mind that it would bejiist as easv to get twelve hundred dollars an acre as a thotisaiid. It win plain that the council were bunt unou havlm.' the ground, and would pay a lotintl .sum for It. It was h'sl the .spot for a public owner. So, when bo was called upon by the gentlemen, and they said to him. "Wo are niilhorlzcd lo nav vou vottr price," lie promptly answered, "The olfer is no longer open. You declined it when it was made. My price lor that piece ol property is now twelve hundred dollars an nere." The men ottered remonstrance; butit was of no avail. Smith believed t lint hu could get six tliou-and ilollai.s for ilu ground us easily as five thousand. The cily niu-t have the lot, and would pay almost tiny price. "1 hardly think it light. Mr.Smli i,' said one of Ids vi-ilors, "for ,ou to t.tui such tin advantage. 1 lii- siniare is tor the public good." "Let the public pay, then," wa- tin unhesitating answer. "The public i able enough." "The location of tills park at thc norllt end of the city will Improve the value of your other property." This smith unileistood very well. Hut Im replied: "I'm not -ti sure of tliut. 1 havosonic very strong doubts on that subject. Iis my opinion that the buildings 1 coutem plated erecting will bu far luoro (o my advantage. Hu lhat a- It may, howev er, 1 am decided in selling for nothing less than six thou-auil dollars." "We were only authorized to pay live lltoii-anil," replied the committee. "If .you agrio to that sum we will close tho bargain on the spot." I'lve tlious.mil dollars wa-a largesiim of money, and Siullh felt sttongly tempted In e!u-e III witli t lie liberal of fer, liut six thnu-anil loomed up before his Imagination slill mure temptingly.

If they then accept my oiler nil will be right. Hut understand lino: If thoy tlo not accept, the oiler no longer remains open. It is u mutter of no moment lo mo which way the thing i.nrs.

Time iiassed on, and the .session-day of the council eamo roui.d, u day to which Smith had looked forward with oulln.iry feelings of Interest, that were touched, at times, by the coldness of doubt and tliea";iliitio!i of uncertain- l.v. Several limes bu bad ntoru than half repented of his ret'ti-al to accept the liberal oiler of llvotliou-and dollars and of having ll.ed so positively upon six thousand as the "lowest llgtire." The morning of tho day passed, and Smith Iiclmii to "row uneasy, lie did ""I venture t eek for information as to the doliiK- of the council, for that would bo loepo-e thu anxiety ho felt in tliu result of their deliberations; slowly the afterno'iu wore away uiul it so happeuiil that Smith did not meet any one of tliecouiicllmeii ; nor did ho even know whether the council was 4111 In se-lon or not. As to making allusions lo tho subject of his anxious interest to any one, that was carefully avoided; for hu knew that his exorbl taut demand was thu town talk and ho wished to tilled the utmo-t Indifference on the subject.
