 deared her to every one. The period of | her illness was characterized by the suf- | fering usual 10 disease of a pulmonary | nature, which she bore with rare forti-
 tude and good spirits. She had the best
 care and medical attendance and advice 1 possible, which together with the kind attention of careful nurses greatly alle- | viated the severity of her sickness. She retained consciousness until the last, but did not seem to realize that the end was | near, and finally death came like the sinking of tired child into peaceful sltmber. The funeral was from the re- sidence of her grandmother Mrs Giles o. | keeler on North Main street, Monday l afternoon, March 20, at ? o'clock, Rev

Mayor Carter, Of Chelsea, told an excellent
story at dinner party one evening last week
says the Boston Traveller. 1t seems that there
was falr In chelsea, eCently, and one OF the
attractions was that several persons were to
dress up in such costumes as ingenuity might
suggest to represent the title of some book

One man simply had boards like the sand
Wlch man" on the street. one in front of him
ana one behind him. One of those boards
was painted in conspicuous letters the word

Chelsea
Well the guessers puzzled their heads for a
long time, but could not guess the title OF the
book which this costume represented hin
ally they gave IL up. and asked the sandwich
man to tell what IL was

Just as easy to say horse remover and

errand here is TO remove two or three of
your horses. The boy will get lantern
and accompany us to the barn, and If you
don't want to be used roughly you Will
remain right here Should you attempt
to leave the house or raise an alarm we
will give you cause to regret it all the
rest of your life"
The man spoke quietly and ia an even
voice, but there was menace in his tones
that made Inc shiver, while Aunt Kate
turned white again. The lantern sat on
a shelf behind the pantry door, and with
out further words got it down and made
ready to accompany the men. AS we
went out the leader made salaam to
Aunt Kate and thanked her for the cold
lunch, and added that one of his compan-
ions would be stationed outside the door
for the next half hour That was bluff
to keep her quiet as the three followed
me to the stable. Aunt Kate had only
three horses besides Mad Dick, and the
hired man was away with one. The other
two were fine horses, and ] unlocked the
door and led the men straight to them. l

ened, but yet l was that scared that had
no idea of playing any tricks.
When the men found only two horses
they began to growl, and explained that
the third was away. Just then they
heard Mad Dick in his cell, and charged
me with lying 20 them. | started to eX-

and ordered me to show them the door to

barn and around to the rear. There was

horse, but was ordered to shut up. AS
we opened the gate Mad Dick left the
stable and galloped to the further end of
the inclosure. One of the men took the
lantern from me and the three started for
the horse. They did not order me to fol-
low, and they hadn't advanced twenty
feet before got out of the gate and softly
closed and secured it and then climbed
upon post overlooking the paddock.
The bOldneSS of the men and the light
they carried puzzled the horse a bit and

They moved down on him and were about
to close the door and enter when he

The victim yelled out once or twice, and
his companions rushed at the horse and
struck him with halter, but it wasan't

sight in that paddock would have been
terrible by daylight. The horse KEEP
