PUBLIC MEETING

Antrim Boy Scouts Will Ob-serve Anniversary

Next week occurs the fifteenth an. Hon. Henry W. Keyes, United niversary of the Boy Scouts of Araer- ^'"** Senator from New Hanpshire,

A.FEW THOUGHTS

Suggested By What Is Hap. pening Around

ica. The phenomenal growth of this organization has evidenced its popu-larity with the American boy; and Hs success in developing worthy citi­zens has commended it to the nation, Today more than a third of a million scouts in the United States are doing a daily"good turn," and working to realize their motto: "Be Prepared."

The Antrim Troop, now numbering twenty-four, will hold a public meet­ing in the town ball, on Monday even­ing, February 9. to which all our citizens are Invited, It is hoped that many will avail themselves of this opportunity' to see the boys at work. A typical program will be carried out. consisting of business, games, instruction, ceremonies, renewing of the scout oath and law. etc. The meeting will begin at 7.30 o'clock.

Antrim Woman's Club

The Antrim Woman's Club met in the town hall, Jan. 27, at 2.30 o'clock.' The program was as follows;

Duet, Miss Jsmeson and Mrs. Nims accompanied by Mrs. Carl Muzzey.

An address on Public Health, Dr. Zatae Straw, Chairman New Hamp shire Federation Public Health Com­mittee, Manchester. Dr. Straw gave a very interesting and comprehensive address in the short time she was able to be with us.

A duet by Miss Jameson and Mrs. Nims completed the program, and a short business meAing followed.

During the social hour coffee and fancy crackers were served by Mrs. Mattie Proctor, .Mrs. Amy Wheeler and Mrs. Maude Robinson. •

The next meeting of the Club will be a Valentine Party for the children of the members, on February 10.

Maude M; Robinson, Secretary.

has the thanks of The Reporter for a copy of the recently issued Congress­ional Directory. Within the covers of this publication is contained snme valuable informtion which we are pleased to have on file.

A At the 22nd annual meeting of the

Charity Organization Society, in Con cord, on Wednesday afternoon last. Dr. James W. Jameson, of Concord and Antrim, was elected president fur the year ensuing. This office was held for some time by the late Judge Coming of Concord.

Rather an unusual find! One would hardly expect just such things on a church lawn! What's that, you say? Well, here's what we are driving at: two pint bottles were-picked up on the Methodist church lawn on Saturday evening. Yes. they were empty or practically so; enough left however in each to get a real good smell and that's all. Why were they left in such a conspicuous place? They were perfectly all right—could be use! agaiti just as well as not so far as we know. But when we stop to think that we don't know anything about it, this changes the aspect of the whole thing. Perhaps someone can explain the situation to us and clear up the mystery. Some other details repari-ing the finding of there bottles may be obtained by consulting the Reporter man; he imagines a few things but knows practically nothing about such a matter as this.

Will Meet February 10

The next meeting of the men's Fellowship Club will be held on the evening of February 10 in the vestry of the Methodist Episcopal church. The committee on constitution and by­laws will report at this time and other mstters concerning the permanent organization will be considered. A speaker will be present to talk on a subject of great importance to our people, presumably the railroad ques­tion. Who the speaker will be is not known at this date. All members of the club and everyone who would like to become members should t>e present.

We have always heard that cats and dogs are great home animals; when they are a long distance from home, practically nothing stands in the way of them reaching that desired haven at just the earliest possible minute. Hete is something along this line that was given us the past week. Princi­pal Fuller, of the local High school, brought from his former home in Waltham. Mass,, a short time since, a collie dog, which he planned to keep in his home here, but after a day or two the animal was missing and faith ful hunts about town were without avail. In a few days it was learned that the dog had reached his former home in Massachusetts and in somewhat of a used-up condition, owing to the dist­ance and the cold weather. Within a reasonable time the dog was returned to Mr. Fullerby express. This peculiar attachment for the home is spUndid. even in an animal, and is worthy of imitation among everybody,

EXCURSIONS IN CORRESPONDENCE

By THOMAS A^RKLE CLARK Ooaa of Moau UniTorsitx of lUiaola.

Everybody Writes Letters

I H.WK alwa.vs been Interested In writliie letters ami In getting them.

One of mj* dlvemlons. full of excite-n>t>nt and poi^sihllitieM, when as a child I rode to the nearby town on Snturday afternooas, was to stand in the little stuff.v congested post ofBee iind watch the dlstrlbutlnu of the mall. Whenever throiiRh the lalmy glass I coulil see Mr. Sejmour, the fut poat-mnster, shove soiiiethlnc Into onr mall box, my Ifenrt leiii>ed, for there was the possibility, not Imminent I >n>n-fess. thut It might be a letter for me.

I pot letters at times from my cousins In Knjlnnd, from my chum who hnd moved t" Wichita, Kims,, nnd from a dlstiint relative nt Mlnonlc, who always began his letters:

"l tnKe my pen In hnnd (lUo»i(sh It was often a pencil) to write you these few lines to let you know that we are nit well and hope you nre the snme." He told nie little. Imt there wus a thrill in cettlna the letter*.

It wus a reiil event to pet a letter, It was like polnp to the circus, or tak­ing a pin to the Fourth of July cele­bration In Mink (Jrove. It wns, a chanpe from the dull routine of everv-dny life, nnd I trlod to leurn how best to miike reply.

The flrst hook I e\er houpht with my f)wn money was n sort of "Ilejidy Letter Writer," a collection of forms Fupposed to Illustrate every known sit­uation Into which frail hunmnlty codid stumble, and to provide an ensy arid prnceful wny out. There were letters fnmi n fiither to his dnuphter who had Just elopoil, frotu n bachelor of mature years niukln:: a proposal of mnrrlnpe to a widow, from a merchant ordering a barrel of salt from n wholesale house, but none of the exiiuiples given seemed in nny way to fit the condition m which I founil myself. They were nil formnl, precise words; they ninde me feel ns I ordinarily did when, nfter havlnj; been tisirefoot nnd clothed In a scanty shirt and n pair of overnll^ dur-Inp the week, on Sunday I put on heavy stiff shoes nnd my Sunday suit. They seemed to me not letters for or-dln.ory folks, nnd helped me little.

Every one writes letters these dnys no iiiiitler how Ignorant and Inexperi­enced he Is. nnd every one should know souicthinK about how letters nilslit hest he written. . There wns n li'tter In my mall this monilu;: from n tramp, anil one from a man of hlph Iioliti.'al piisltliin. The tramp was an oil) fi-ieml of mine who had at one time worked for me, nnd now being In tllstrcss, wanted tae to len.l hlin three dollars until Letter luck slimild come, anil the •jiivernor wa" alMi in ili-trrss Iin.l uMiitcil me vo vote f.ir him in the (•..miriL' I'lei ti.m. and one letter was as iiiil...rtiint to the writer a'< the other. Twi'iity li'tt.Ts are written today where om- was sent fifty veiirs au'o, anil yet m:iny peniiie win. sli.-uld know, writ.' v.'iy in.'fieriive letti-rs.

It has 1 n my f.irtiine. t"'od or bad, fi.r miiiiy yi':irs to have a wide ran^e of c.irrf^lH.m.li'ni'e, to learn tlir.Muh failure and >iii'<-ess. some nf the tliin;.'i* that '.1 t.i make up an Ineft'ertlve let­ter, or to reioL-nlze one ihat has In It qualities that are worth while.

There are recnsmli'-ed ways of be­ginning and ending letters of various «..rts. there aje customs and cnnven-ti.ins recognized and foll.nved by peo­ple of standing and poslti:in wliich we should all kn.iw and follow. Th? form und the arrangement of a letter counts for more than we soiuetlines think, and tells more about the writer than he often siispect.-<. Just as a jirinted call-inu' or bu>iiie>s card ratluT tlmn an enu'rave.l .me marks the one who of­fers it ns careless of f.irm nnd con-vfnti..n. There is no reason why It slmuld any more tlmn there is logical rfa>.m for thinking that n m;in who ents with his knife rather than with his fork is a boor, hut It does.

The materials that n man uses In writing bis betters, the way In which letters are foble.l nnd addressed, the promptness wiih wiibh he answers them, the language tlint he uses—all these tbints count Immensely toward helpin-- bis letters to accomplish the piirjiose for which tbey were Intended.

It had been cold nnd dry out-of-doors, and the two little plants had beet) dolne their best to stand the hot, hut house and not wilt.

Their little green leuve.s felt as tliougli they would not be su green very much longer.

They were both little plants of ferns—different kinds of ferns and one was In a low Hat fern dish and the other In a round flower pot.

They appreciated this tind so they had tried to do their best even dur­ing tills long time when they hud been in the house quite steadily.

THE mother vi'ho permits constipation in her baby or older child is risking

the health, even the life, of her little one. Fretfulness, feverishncss, night terrors,

grinding the teeth in sleep, biliousness, coatediongue, loss of appetite,any of these may indicate constipation. Poisons from the child's stagnant intestine are flooding the little body, and if left unchecked may lead to serious consequences.

Avoid Laxatives—Say Doctors

A noted aut'-.ority says that laxatives do not overcome constipation, but by their continued use tend only tc aggravate the condition.

Medical science has found in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol. penetrates and softens the hard food waste and hastens hs passage through and out of the body. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and can­not gripe. Like pure water, it is hannless.

Let your infant or child have Nujol reg­ularly, and sec rosy cheeks, dear eyes and happiness return once more.

Nujol is used in children's and general hospitals and is prescribed by physiciana throughout the world.

Remember the Birds!

Remember the \)irdsl Also remember that the same howling winds that cause yo>; to turn up your coat colla makes it practically impossi­ble at this time of the yea: for these feathered friends to obtain food. Ground that is frozen and barren, shrubberj that is bare of berries, an I bird baths and pools that are now firm ice offer little in the way of food or driilk for these associates who help save oui crops and our grain and spread their, song so cheerful­ly. Why not scatter a few bread crumbs in some shel­tered spot in the yard? Why not set out a pan of water now and then? An apple or a piece of suet tied to a shrub would be welcome. You will feel am­ply repaid when you see' thr little fellws feast on your re­freshment. Remember tbe birds!

Thia appaan te bo a moat vital qoeetioo at thia time pad will not be lightly eoaaideted. bat everything poaaibie will bo btooghtto bear, and all will hatre an opftortooity to know Juat bow the railroad henefiu the town and viaa veraa—they cannot thrive alone for any length of time, but must work together for a mutual benefit. There is no doabt hot a changed condition will exist after a recnnatructioo policy haa been present­ed and accepted.

So many things have entered into the railroad situation leading up to the preaent, that it U next to impoeaibie to go into the muititodinooa details and explain them satiafactoriiy ao all-will understand them; aboot all that ean be done ia to take tbem aa tbey are, and find some way out of the difficulty. Master minds moat theoghtfnily con aider the matter and present some workable and aatiafaetory plan that will prove alike beneficial to all concerned. In thia forth-coming plan very likely the suggested changea may appear to affect some men or some certain elaaaes of men, but if it ia wisely thought out apd appears^ like a feaaible, economical and busineaa-iike proposition, it will be received gladly and given the faithful trial that it Plight to have. With a host of others we anxiously and expectantly await Che new order of things along this line, which cannot help but affect us ail in more ways than one.

The statment comes a little late, but it is really given out by some of the lawmakers in Concord that th6 present legislative session will be a short one and that by town meeting everything will be cleaned up and adjournment taken. This sounds Just right,-and if we could think that this would happen by April 1 it would be a most pleasing thought.

A financial surplus of $324,-JUU.OOU by the end of the next iiscal year is predicted by vJhairman Madden of the Ap­propriations Committee. Gov­ernment departments are be-.ng cut down to "rock bot--om" operating expenses.

Nearly 18,000,000 motor cars I'or less than 115,000,000 peo­ple is the report of registra­tions for the year 1924. This is approximately one car for every six "persons. The gain in commercial vehicles is greater than for passenger cars.

A "Another jump in price of

gasoline" is the headline in tiie newspapers about every week lately. This "give and lake" system is practiced by altogether too many, it would seem to some of us.

Resolutions of Respect

aOnce more tbe golden chain of our Order is broken and another link is missing.

On December 24, 1924, Sister Be-itriee €tement Boyd was called to her jiernal home.

She was ever faithful and served wiih zeal and fidelity the several •tHces for which she was chosen. We oved her gentle, quiet way, and we nms her kind and pleasant smile. 'Sometime, tome day, our eyes shall

see Trie faces kept in memory. S >me dsy their hands will clasp our

hands lust over in the morning land, trid when through patient toil We

reach the land— A here tired feet with sandals loosed

may rest, on we -hall clearly see and under­

stand And kn»w at last tbe truth God

knoweth t>est." Resolveo, that we bear testimony

"Blessed are tbe merchants who. ad­vertise because they believe in it and in their business; for their prosperity shall increase many fold," sagely remarks an exchange and adds:

"Blessed is the woman who sends in a written account of a party or wedding; for she shall see the details of a function and the names of her guests correctly re­ported.

"Blessed are all those who do not ex­pect the editor to know everything, but who call up and tell him whenever an in­teresting event occurs for them; for they shall have a newsy paper in their town.

"Blessed are they who get their copy in early; for they shall occupy a warm place in the editor's heart.

"Blessed are those who co-operate with the editor in his efforts in behalf of ' the community; for their town shall be known far and wide as a good place in which to live."

PART THREE—Continued. —12—

"My bmln Ims cone round nnd round llUe a whlrliMol for months! I don't Isuow wli«it I think."

"Well, think thU." he said gently: "Slurrliise laws and forms vary with every creed, and In every country, to suit teiiipei-ament or—environment. And everywhere, eertiiln conventions uie necessary! For tJod's sake, don't Imagine I'm un advocate of loose moral­ity! I'.u.i you nnd I are cast off from nil rules sjive those of our own making. Iluve you considereil tlitit? Tlifse na­tives—or Inilliins. Turks, Clirlstlnss— all linve »onie Idoiil which they emhody In certain iiiurrliige rites and liiwu."

She liiina upon his words, cltisplnc tl;;litly the linnds holding her own. "VesV" she breathed, when he paused.

"\Vell--we are adrift from every one which iipplles to us. *\Ve cnn't obey them III the letter. >Ve only have them In our henrts.'"

"Vou iiietin," she whlspere<l, "you think It would he rlRht to form our o\in—niMrriiige rites?"

"1 dii. Ref(>re Ood Barh.nrn. I do. To nie, onr wedding would he as snere»l and lawful here, with the sen for music, the birds for witness, ns in u crowded church, I want you always to remem­ber that."

The waves echoed faintly upon the shore; the wtnr; stirred the palm leaves In their enclosure; otherwise the whole world seemed waltint:. In a stillness like nenlh. fnr her reply,

"I believe you. AInn," she munnureil nt last, "I had not thousht of It at nil in this ll-.;ht. It would he the suiiie to me. in my heart, Itut—shiuild we be ri;.'lit? Riippose—afterwanl—we were rescued?"

"Well? Then we shouhl nt once obey the letter. Here we ean obey the fpirlt. I'.ut Isn't that the creater? in the world It Is the reverse, often. The Blirlt Is violated."

She turncl nway, cuverinj; her face witli her ll:inds.

"Wliiit '.-i.n we do? What run we do?" The wi.nls came hrii!;enly, pa­thetically, to the other outcast from all liius.

Witn intinlte delic.-icy lie went to her and put Ills anus ahouf her.

"We are down anions the deep chords tiigeiher, nnw." he whisiiered, "Hut tog> ther—iihviiys together."

With a cl okins cry she turned and fluns liei'scif upon his breast, clinging to liiiu the nnly hulwark of lu'r life.

But beneath the velvet glove of na­ture lies the iron bund; behlml her smiling face sits grim severity. These, more thon any scruples, caused hlin to pause. He who had ever sct)med ob­stacles, now faced them appalled. He who had never known feur, wus now afraid. . . .

Ue who liHil ever seized whnt he de­sired, now stood aside und waited.

Uurburu must decide. To thut. amid the tunnoll of his spirit, he clung, Tliere must never be coercion; slie wus no weakling. Not until she saw the path clear before her would she move un Inch: thut he knew well.

No sign came from the hut. Within Its darkness. Inert head burled In her outstretched arms, lay the arbiter of Ills fate und her own. In a greut und uwful loneliness of soul, such us she hud never Imagined possible, she faced the greatest question woman cun be called upon to answer. The muuntuliis were quite' close now; but she aii-proached them without shrinking, only desirous of finding the right puth across to her Belt)ved. She did not blind herself. She had contemplated murrluge before, nwure of all It meant to a woman In ctvlllzutlon. Now she contempluted It shorn of all but na­ture's own sublimely terrible forces: contemplated Hie yeurs ahead, wltb the possibility of other lives besides their own. . . .

I'resently. uhen she grew calmer, he lifted her hndiiy and carried her Into the hut. He placed her upon her beil; then knell for a moment, and laid his cheek to hers.

"The decision lies In your h.inds," he whispered. "Come and tell mo when you know."

Then he rose to his feet, lingering be­side her for n time, a world of almost maternal tenderness In bis steady re­gard, nut she made no reply. With n llltle gesture of helplessness, he turned, nnd walke<l back to the lagoon.

It shook him with fierce Intensity, In the past, his whole concentration, every ounce of brnin and strength, bad been given to Ills work and Inventions, Now the aame splendid force, welling up and overflowing, was concentrated upon woman—a channel half closed against him. Being half closed caused more torture than If it had been entirely shut and barred.

"I may not he hack until evening." he said. "You will be ull right?"

"Quite." There wns n relief In her tone which

he noticed and understood. He hesi­tated ; but she did not look up. For the tirst time since Christmas they hail omitted their morning kiss. And now something restrained him from taking the wistful little face in his hands, much as he longed to do so. He turned and strode off up the bay.

The omission was significant. They had struck n chord too deep ever to return to the delightful camarnderle of the past. Demonstratlvetiess held a hidden menace behind nil Its charm. A new wall, vastly different from the old one, yet no less bnlfling, formed airain between them. Once more, each in­tuitively hid behind reserve yet hung upon the other's slightest action. Once more, only surface topUs were allnvved ndmlttiince, (mce more, AInn spfnt long hours away. , . .

One day. before their second Clirist-inas, .Meamna fell sick. Barhnm. who of Inte hiid shunned too much contact with that happy fninlly, fetched Ijiain and his sister to play In the enclosure. Children'? merry Innghter echoed around their home; and AInn, lnsten'< of going off as usual, stayed to play with tbem.

Hnrbnro watched him, all her heart shining in her eyes. There wnji nobody to put the fenr of tshu Info I.aslo's frlr.zy head. The "great white chief' told him mnrvelous stories of animals never seen upon their Island. He he cnme n wonderful borne galloping round the hot. with I.nalo upon his back; then a roaring lion, that roared most terribly. There were swings In the hammock, and games of which the little natives had never heard.

As the day wore on. she fell more nnd more silent, a ter­rible aching hunger In her heart. . . . Must their two nutures age here la barren purposelessnesa? Never be ful­filled? .Why? Beiuuse fa»-nS rules of society, which could na; reach them, would be broken? liow trivial such things seemed here, where the world was still In Its beginning, . . .

In the evening. tJie tiny ff.-\, tired after excitement of t. e day. grew sleepy und fretful. Ahin stoptKMl an uproarious game, sat down up^n a rock, und llfteil her In his arms. She lay there contentedly, her little black head nestled In his shoulder.

A pain that. In Its poignancy, wns al­most pliyslcul. gripped Burbara's heart. Great tears welled up suddenly und ran down her cheeks. Moved by nn Ir­resistible Impulse she darted forward and snatched the child from hlra, "No, uo, no! I can't bear—that! Let them go home. . . . It Is tliue they went home, . . .*•

For a moment he gazed at her. be­reft of speech. Then he rose, und called I.aulo.

"I will take them home." he said quietly.

When he returned, she hnd sunk upon the rock he hnd vacated. With eyes tragic In their Inientness, she watchi-d him afiproach. He came close to her. With one of his old swift move­ments he nilsed her chin with his hand, so that she met the penetration of his gaze,

"Harhara!" he miitterml, "this will drive us m;id. We ure human, not gINlS."

.She drew away, hiding her face In her hands. The very touch of his fin­gers sent an electric current racing through her veins, T<i continth' like this was becoming daily umre liupos-sible.

I'resently she rose, not during to speak, und turned from him into the hut.

Hlinilly, bewildered. Harhara gropcl her way. step hy step, thmiigli a maze of uncertainty. 'I'lie day with the na­tive children had heen a revelation. .Never liefiu'e had she ri.allzecl the pas sioii ul' l<in:.'ini.' which po»-.e>sei| her. . , , .\nd hy her own self-rev, lation slje jud;;ed Ihe sui"l"eriii.,' .if the man waiting for hi.r decision. Tlie claiius (if iiiiotlier's need ;.Tew insistent, duiu-iniitim;. . . . .Moi-e and umrf did the lite of previous yt.iirs si-eia pale and unreal. . . . The fears for the future, the liurd..n of its resp.iusil.ili-ties, ^-rew fainter, assuiuuii new as-l)ects. . , ,

There c-ame a night when . 1,-in, nfter heing away all day returneij iijo.idy, ir­ritable, itiipatient of all the trivial siili-jects with which she endeavored to make ciuiversation.

"Have you been workinc In the plan-tjition''" she asked, after several unsuc­cessful attempts during suiiper,

".No." He ate a hanana. and threw nway

the skin, "Wlait's the good of It all?" he asked impatiently, "It will lead nowhere,"

"It's occupation," she faltered. "(i(-cuiiatlon? Yi>s. Oci-upatlon for

the sake of occupation : Is that all life is to he worth? My G—d ! What nn outlook !"

Tills wns annther of r.arhara's fears. How lone would the limited interests of the Island, shorn of a deeper outlet, suffice for a man of his temperament?

"You are doing a lot of ;;i>iid anions the liiitives." she stiu'-ested. feeble thoiiilh she knew tlie remark to he.

••Goixl?" He gave an Impatient laugh. "I.ord: Iion't credit me with tlie instincts of a lulsslon.Try : That's only 'occupation.' one hour. If we left this place, and they would forget it nil."

This bitterness, this dre.iry desola­tion of voice nnd mien, so unlike the old AInn of In.lomltahle res.uirce nnd optimism, cut Hiirhara to the heart. For she understood.

"Alan ! Alan '." she cried, stretching' out n hand,

She rose, her went toward Iilm

"Don't: AInn, I—iinderstnnd—"

As abruptly as he has seized her. he let her go again,

And gradually a grett peace stois over her spirit. Imperceptibly, the last mountain rolled slowly away. As one tired out ufter long, victorious war­fare, she lay, inotlunless, die muunllglit fulling through the little window upon ber white-robed figure. . ,

After a time she rose atid IcKiked once more upon the wuves sbf. love«l so well, a wondrous shining In her eyes. And all the perfumed beauty of the night blended In the tender, passionate crav­ing to be with him who. also, hud striven, and suffered, aod conquered.

Slipping on her old Japanese wrap­per, she passed noiselessly out of her room. He had, she kn tw, not gone In to bed.

Moved by some Instinct, she turned, stumbling over the rough ground, und uscen'ded the eastern iaoi>es. where they had watched the Jawn on that Christmas day nearly a yeur ago.

IV A group of rough bowlders, moss

covered, conimanded a long view over f^e eastern shore of tUe Island, while forming a shelter from the wind. The girl approached tlieiu; then, at a aud-den soft sound. Rti»<Kl still, her heart heating rapidly, .Volselessly rounding them, she dlscovere<l the man she sought stretched upim the ground, his hetid thrown hack upon clasped urms, his eyes dreaming far away over the softly outlined scene below.

For a moment:Slie fingered 'he folds of her ,thin garment, watching him. Then the wind fluttered one of her loose sleeves; nnd his gaze flashed back from far distances. Turning his heud, he saw the figure standing, motion­less, by his side.

She stoiKl perfectly still, her hands pressed upon the garment at herbreust, the wind waving her cloudy linir, her lips a little parted, her hlue eyes dark­ly shining In the faint light.

Once—twice—she tried to spenk. but the words would not cimie: she could only envelop Iilm. as it wore. In the radiant glory of her face. , . .

Su.ldenly a great wave of under­standing broke over him, rendering him for n moment hreiithless, blinded, he-wllderwi. , , . Then, Instinctively, he raised his arms. With n little Inar­ticulate cry the girl allowed him to take lil'r, treiiihllng in hep capitulation, clinging to hliu. suhmitting. without re­sistance, to the stonii of passion at last set free. His kisses hiirned Into her soft llesli, his arms crushed her well-nigh breathless; she was car­ried away hy the tide of his ardor, responsive, glorying. , , ,

Hiirhara had critssed ber Iliihicon I for all iime.

I'resently he sat down eprm thu rocks, still holdint: her to bin,,

"You-*.aiiie to tell tne'/"' he wills, pered. his face close to herr*, his eyea piercing to lier very sotil.

"Yes." she whispered luick. , . , .\fter ,'1 lime slie raised hfrself, still

"Whenever—you like, .Man." "At dawn'r" he wliispere.l, "It wii!

The pussion h;id died out of his voice, and a note aluiost of awe had crept in.

They rtiuaineil. soiuetiiiies silent, sometimes discussing, in low tones their fortlicomins hrldal, while the inoonlielit waned, and the wonderful blue-hliKk of the siaithern night soft­ened and'paled.

I'resently .Man lowered the hand he held near his cheek nnd oiieued the lin;.'ers.

"Whut can we do nbout a wedding ring?" he iiske.|.

"Oh : |)oes that matter?" "I should like to see you wpnrlns one

The fourth week of the session opened Tuesday morning with a good attendance and a ruab of business. It was the last day for the Introduction of bills e.Ncept by unanimous consent or through some committee, and when the tired clerks finished their labors late In the afternoon they had ISO bills and 37 Joint resolutions to their credit. The total at the close ot the day showed that during the session thus far 321 bills and 72 reHo-lutlons have be.en introduced and have been referrea to the various committees.

During the day bills as a rule were read only by their tit les, and long be­fore the last one was reached most of the members were conspicuous by their absence. When the morning session adjourned the hands uf the clock at the right of the speaker pointed to two o'clock, but the watches of the members said 5.30,

There were bills of all kinds In the bunch which was gone through and If all should- become law It would prob­ably wreck the atate. One bill waa Intended to regulate the Inspection of 'ot^** and a good proportion affect the sportsmen. It is evident that tho committee on fisheries and fiame will have a busy time.

The administration 4S-hour bill made Its appearance during the aft­ernoon. Uepreseutative John S, Childs. Republican, of HUlsboroucli, is its sponsor, and it provides that by agreement between employerjand em­ploye -18 hours can be worked In five uays. It specifies, however, that no more than 48 hours may be worked In any one week. It Is oUlclally num­bered H. B. 251.

Some of the measures are a reflec­tion of the bank troubles ut, Lebanon, and are designed to furnish better protection for depositors. Former Governor Albert O. Hrown lia.s a measure which relates to the e\amin-' utlon of bank.s and trust companies. It re(iulres the trustees of all Institu­tions under the control of the bank commi.ssioni'rs to employ a certified public accountant to make an exam­ination of affairs once every six mouths and report to the commis-siouers. A st.atement shall also be printed in the newspai-ers,

Kepresentative Charles H. Ross of Lebanon has a bill wnieh affects his town, and will give towns in case of eiueryency authority to raise funds to pay Itti current obligations. Reprif-senlallve Curtis W. Hyde of Lebanon has a bill which provides that no tovn treasurer can place the funds of a town in a bank in which he is an olficer or employe, it is the result of the Lebanon cNperience where all tht; funds of the town are tied up in the bank where the town treasurer was emidoyvd.

The .ta.v ; commissioner would receive a salary of Jj.UOO a year and a deputy com- ' missioner is to have a salary of $2,-:;iio. Other bills provide for J25.uO() annually to advertise that state; to preserve "racial intecrity" hy prohib-itini.- the marria,i,-e of white and col­ored persons; to provide for tlu plow­ing of trunk line hii,'hways durin.; the winter: to provide for the eri c-lion of ca.ses in Doric hall, state house, to receive the colors of tlii-lOiind infantry.

Tile Treiisury departmt.'Ul has -tarted a fund of $liiO.OliO,00<) to which a like amount will be added annually to pay the obligations of the soldiers' adjusted compensation insurance. And the country Is far from heing flnahcially ruined by si,ch a transaction.

Tax-exempt securities In our ciiiitry now total more than 13,000 million dollars and are said by Sec­retary Mellon fo be lncrea.sing at a rate of lOtni mllliun dollars a year. These are the securitie.-! that are absolutely ta.x-free and aa such form an attractive investment for tho.se who purchase them.

The i'ro.->s-word puzzle craze has considerably diminished the de­mand for hooks of fiction.

However, tiie popularity of c"ii-,-;-woril pu/,7,le.s need give no (-ause for alarm. The fad is aniiis-iiii;, etlueational and instriictlve.

The cash v.ilue o; a hiirh school education is iilaced at I3:?.0(i0. Surely this >!ii)Uld prove an Incentive to young people to ohtain at least a .high -.'hool education' and i-'o to college ji they can i)o<«ihl> do .so.

tion has been filed, only the masi- \ mum amount in cash, $500 in the; case of veterans serving In the. States and $625 for overseas veter­ans, will be paid.

The policy states that "Neither this Certificate nor any sum pay­able to a veteran, or to bis estate, or to any beneficiary under this Certificate, nor proceeds of any loan madu on this Certificate shall be subject to attachment, levy or seizure under any legal or equlta-,ble process, or to National or State taxation."

The Treasiu-y has mapped ont its flnainclal program for meeting i'he requirements of tbe adjusted com­pensation and has made i ts flrst depos i t—$100.000 ,0^0—In a spec­ial account from which the adjust­ed service certificates will be paid.

I: U the plan to add each year a similar amount to this special ac­count and this sum with its inter­est compounded annually at 4 per cent Is calculated to be sufficient to meet all payments o n ' the service certificates when they mature Some 20 years hence. Provision is made whereby the fund is equipped from this date to meet such maturing certificates a.s may be due as a re­sult of deaths of the beneficiaries and tbe additions to the fund are expected to be able to care for the gradually increasing maturities of the future years.

The first step taken by the Treo.*-ury was the issue and sale to Itself nf $"»G,UOO,OoO in five-year 4 per cent Treasury notes and a like amount of special Treasury certifi­cates of indebtedness, the latter being redeemable at the option of the Treasury, so that funds instant-1\ will he available ,when required. By Issuing the special Securities for the compensation fund and sell­ing them hack tn the Treasury, all disturbine Influences of op.en mar­ket operations are eliminated.

The .\djusted Compensation Act nuthorize.s the Treasury to Invest soldiers' compensation funds In in­terest-bearing Ciovernment obliga­tion aud to sell tlie obi ien tion.* (or the'purpose of the fund.

The Secretaiy. in a statement. said that in order to make the lend .-ullicient to meet the compensation payments, it is ^|pecessary to keep the money Invested at 4 per cen* trom the time of their receipt un­til payments are required.

Suddenly from a darkened lumber-yard gateway a revolver muzzle con­fronted them, behind it a maiskfa fiu'>-, llofore Tom huij tlm^ to, comply with the deinnnd, .loe's fist shot out and kniH-kfd tho gun from the fellow's bund. Luiauiuncously a huge tis't whlppi d up and Joe fell to the pnve-m«^t. With a leap Tom was ttpon the fellow, crowding him against the brick wall.

When Tom Fallon J>l)engil,his. e i»» It wus to lind lilmself In a drug store,' his injurie:! being dressed by an am-bulunce surgeon. It was to leurn that Joe Carroll wus past medical help, his

j life crushed out by the great paws thut had closed about his throat.

I IJittorly Fdllnn reproached himself i for that fatal wesikenlng. condemned

hlniiielf for the months of physical negh'ct that had softened him nnd caused him to fall his friend at the

. critical momt-nt. Bitterly he accused himself bf being responsible for Joe's death: and In the simple-minded loy­alty that was un Inherent part of htm took It upon himself aa a duty to see that his pal wns avenged.

As a first step he must condition himself, must train so tliat he would never again find himself helpless be­fore the strength and skill of another. Thut Is how Tim O-'Cennell, trainer and Sght mnnager, discovered the be5!t welterweight he had ever managed.

And. being Irish, O'Connell wfgged his bead over the quiet little miss who sat near Falbm's comer at each of his lights. But even wise old Tim O'Pon-ni'll did not know how Fallon's loynl doteriiiinatlon- to avenge his friend, bow their mutual love for the smiling Joe bad turned the deep affection Kitt.v had always felt for Tom Fallon Into a love deeper even than that she hnd held for his successful rival.

Tim O'Connell pondered some of th«>se things as he led his man down the crowded aisle to the ring where he was to meet "One-Two" Romano In the semltiiiul of a feature bill. The toughi'st they had tackled so far was Itoiiiiino, a powerful rushing bull.

Then, abruptly, for tbe Srst time since 'she had promised her brother Fred that slie would save blm and had telephoned to Peter to come to her at once, she remembered tbat she had to do more than merely to accent Petefs proposal.
