Months after the timo, George Good
win recovered from the terrible fever
that followed the night when the serv-
ants found him lying on the floor.
HI lay delirious from the injuries to
his hoad caused by the vase he had
tried SO hard to protect. Every person
supposed that in a desperate struggle
ho had killed the burglar. and when
the spring time came and he got
stronger in health. and the wound had
almost healed his wife and friends
realized that he was hopelessly insane.
He rapidly gained in strength. but his
face bore troubled look. and for
hours he sat neutrality-suspicious. refus-
ing to enter tho sitting room and in
sis>ing that NIL the mantle-p pieces be
taken down and that his wife put on
no j,welry. Not until May was he
able to take short walks.
One bright morning Mrs. Goodwin
put on him a heavy coat and sent him
for his usual walk in charge of IL sorv-
ant. The path lay over one of the
many hca,hs that surround the great
city of London and past row of
houses in course of erection. As the
invalid and his attendant ap-
preached ono of these louse0 a
bod carrier came down ladder and
commenced filling his hod with bricks.
When the invalid was almost opposite
him the man looked up and shouted to
a fellow laborer on the half built wall.
This companion looked over the side
and tho bright sunlight, reflected from
u piece of tin roofing, fell strongly on
his face. Goodwin stopped short.
Then with bound he reached the lad
der. and before the ervant could stop
him almost flew up. In an instant he
had the man by the throat.
You murdered the man Tom," he
shouted.
''Stand off; you lie; back!' shouted
the man. rccoiling aghast.
Then springing forward and putting
forth all his strength he hurled the
weak man to the ground below.
| For moment the double murderer
stood still. Then. buttoning his coat
over his breast and stepping forward
he said:
Men, I killed Tom Britton. "-E

This village needs a hay market-a
convenient location to be assigned by the
council as a place where farmers may
offer their loads of hay for sale. An effort
is being made to keep our business
streets in good order, and this is next to
impossible when load after load of hay
is scattered through the village. Fur
thermore large loads of hay obstruct the
street and are unsightly. Every village
and city has such marke IS assigned, and
they give universal satisfaction both to
the seller and buyer. Some central loea-
ton is necessary and it is>suggested that
a portion of second-stdbe devoted to THAI
PURPOSE. It would be good plan to in
clude wood marke also in the order.
