"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 . '
It was some tinio in foro Smith ans
wered lliis ipii-stion. ins eyes wero
east upon tliu lloor, and earnestly did
he enter Into debate with hlm-ell as to
thu valuo himboultl place upon the lot.
At llrst ho thought of llvu hiiiitlrcd dol
lars per acre. Hut Ids cupidity soon
tempted lilm lo advance on Hint sum,
although a month before he would have
caught at Mich mi olfer. 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. It was uiianiinoii-iy

have "jumped ut" Iwo thousand tlollnrn
for the live acre lot, If Kitlslhi! f It.,- it
would hi'liitf no more, lint when the
city came forward ns n purchaser, bis
cupidity was subjected to a Very stronc
temptation. 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.
"I can get It," siihl helohim-elf; and
thu properly is worth what it will
bring."
So he iiodtively relu-eil to sell It at a
llioiis itid dollars per acre.
"At Iwelvuyou will'.'" leuiarUed onu
of tho coniliilltee.as they were about
retiring.
Yes, 1 Will take twelve hundred an
acre. Tb.it I- Hie lowest rate; 1 am not
anxious, oven at that price. I can tlo
ipiltujis well by keeping it In my pin-
pcssloil. Hut. as you seem so bent on
having II, I will not and in yoiirw.iy
When will tlio counciUneet again'.'"
"Not until nexl week."
"Very well. 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.
' It wits ii matter of moment to .Smith,
for all this a-sertion u matter of great

bio iiuca-Iuiss dining tho time which
. passed tinill the next meeting of the
1 council,
' Of course the grasping disposition
shown by Smith became Ihetown talk
and people said a good many hard
things ol him. l.lttlu, however, illil lie
care, so that lie uvurtd six thousand!
dollar.s jur a lot not worth more than
i two tliou-and.
I Among oilier residents mid properly
I holders in the town, wits a simple
, mliiiUd, true hearted, holiest man,
. named Jones. His father had left lilm
, a large farm, a goodly poitinn of which
' In procc-sof time, camo to be Included
, In tlio limits of the new cily; and he
found n iiiuiii more prollltible employ-
meat in telling building lots than In
tilling the Mill. Tho property of Mr.
Jones lay ut the west sldi of the t wn.
Now, when Mr. Joins heard of tho
eio. liliaiit demand made hy Smith lor
a live a re lot, his honest heart llirnhled
wilji ii feellno; of Indignation.
"I couldn't bellovo It of him," said
he. ". ix thousand dollars. I'ropostci
ou! Why, 1 Would ulvu tho city a lot
twice lliesixe, nnd do It with pleii'iire."
"Voil would?" said a member of the
(ount'll, wlio happened to hear this re
mark, "Ceiliilniy, 1 would."
"You are really in earnest?"
"rndniibtedly. (in and select a pt b

111' so,"
"I'hat Is public splrlt',"Nild the conn
clliuali. "Call It what you will, I am plea'cd
In iiiiiklnv; the oiler."
Now, let It not be siippo-ed that Mr.
Jones Mas shrewtlly eidciilatliiK thu ad
iiulaj;e which would result to him
from huvinjra pari; nt the west side of
the cily, N'o such lhotij;ht had yet en
tered his mind, He spoke from the im
pulse of, ii Kimoroiis fccllug.
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.
The if.iy elo-cd, and not a whisper
about the town lot had come to thu ears
of .Mr. Smith. What could It mean?
Had his oiler to sell ul six thousand

his heart logrow heavy in his bosom.

So he called on Mr. Wilson,
Ah, friend Smith," said tliu latter,
" how an- you thi- evening '."'
Well, I thank you," returned Smith
feeling a certain oppression of thuchost.
" How are you !"
" Oil, very well."
Here there wa- a pause. After which
Smith .-aid-

" Nothing," replied Wil-on, coldly.
"Nothing, tlid you say!" Smith's
vnlcu was a Utile husky.
No. You declined our oiler; or,

You ri-fii-eil to buy 11 al live thous

"1 know wo dhl, becau-e your de

Oh, no, not at all," returned Smith
ipilckly.
In that vv n only diner," said Wilson.
" However, tho council has decided not
to pay you the price you ask."
" Unanimously.
"There was not u ilis-untlng voice,"
Smith began to feel more and moru
uncomfortable.

veuttir.nl to -ay, In a low, hesitating
voice.

"Too Into! 1 low so'."'
" Wo have procured a lot,"
" .Mr. Wilson !" Poor Smith started
to his feet in chagrin nnd u-lonlshiiiont.
Yes ; we have taken one of .lone-'s

"You b.ive!"Siidlh was actually pale.

Smith stole back to his homo witli a
mountain of disappointment on his
uonrt. In his cupidity, liu had entirely
sivern.iclied himself, anil hu -aw that

While bits in the uorili end would re

take a downward range,
And so ii proved. In leu years, Jones

for fear of accidents from heav. hatting I
none were allowed in the enclosure. i
