Death of Hon. p. X. GIeed.-By the
death of this distinguished Vermonter,
which occurred at his home in Morris
vile Tuesday, June 20, the town loses one
OF its most active and honored citizens.
He was in his 63d year and had prac-
ticed law in Morrisvile almost contin-
uously since he was admitted to the bar
in 1859.
He was states attorney in 1868 and
in 1902; represented the town at
Montpelier in 1868, and in 1869 was
elected trustee of the state reform school.
From 1904 he served as internal
revenue assessor, was state senator and
president pro TEN Of the senate in 1880,
and also served as commissioner of taxes
from 1902. For many years he was
member of the republican state commit
tee. In his own town his service as Sc
lectman covered many years. and he was
an efficient member of the school board
for years, village trustee, director in
the two banks at Hyde Park and the
bank at Morrisville. He was a deacon
in the Congregational church and for 25
years superintendent of the Sunday
school.
His wife was formerly Mrs. Laura A.
Fleetwood, for many years resident Of
this town, and his step son, Fred G.
Fleetwood, is states attorney of La
noble county. Mr.. Gleed was often seen
in St. Johnsbury and had many warm
friends here.
The funeral was held Friday afternoon
in the Congregational church. Owinl
to the illness of the Morrisville pastor
the service was in charge OF Rev. Edwin
Wheelock of Cambridge. The preacher
based his remarks upon the words OF tn,
Scripture, blessed are they that keel
his commandments" He was followed
by Wendell P. Stafford of this town ant
ex-Gov. Hendee of Morrisvile. both pay
ing fine tributes to the life and characte
of Mr.. Gleed. During the service tn
organ was softly played by Alfred H
Brooks of st. .Johnsbury. There was
large attendance from the surroundin,
towns and several from St. Johnsbur,
were present.

Zephra. - All anticipated something
fine when the time came to witness tn
performance OF "Zephra". Anticipation
have been more than realized, and thu
performance is pronounced the mos
beautiful and pleasing ever presented il
St. Johnsbury. Manager Averill ha
shown rare ability in bringing the loca
talent to such point of perfection in thu
dances. singing and acting. He himsel
takes the part of Prince Juna, the hero
of the play, acting his part in profes
sional manner and being especially pleas
ing in his tenor solos. Another leading
part in the play, that Of King Decius, i:
taken By Frank Brazier of Brattleboro
whose acting and singing is greatly
admired by all.
The stage scenery and costumes are all
that they are advertised to be, and none
finer were ever seen in town. Calcium
and electric light effects add much to the
beauty Of the spectacle. Over $50 people
take part in the performance, and the
smoothnesss, rapidity and perfect man.
ner in which everything is carried out
shows the thoroughness OF the drilling
received. The story of the opera is inter-
esting and the music bright and catchy.
Last week we gave the cast Of charac-
tiers and the names of all who took part
in the specialties. The opening perform
ance Tuesday evening was greeted with
fair house, Wednesday evening large
audience was present and the matinee
yesterday afternoon was well attended
The closing performance comes this even
ing and the rising of the curtain should
display to the actors full house.
Among the specialties are the
Brownies" with Uncle Sam, the wild
Indian, policeman, ETC., looking as
natural as their photographs, the news
boys with regular bowery swagger,
and the grand danse advertisement, in
Guiding the "la cigale, the "naiads," the
"black birds, ""new women, the merry
go-round," the "graces." These dances
are all performed in manner about as
perfect as possible, and missteps, il made,
are not noticeable. The wonder is how
the young people were ever drilled to
such perfection. The funny thing of the
evening was the police squad with Frank
O. French as sergeant, who took the
house down with his song, '1'm the
man," incidentally bringing in the school
superintendent and post office questions.
Mia, the dancing girl, was so pleasing
that an encore was demanded. The
grand march of the royal guard was
executed in splendid style, the G. A. R.
men in the house leading in the applause
when the difficult military manoeuvers
were perfectly done. The grand trans
formation scene in the last act was a
beautiful spectacle.

CHAPTER Mi.

Branksome Hall was one of the most
important estates in Cheshire; the owner.
Sir Peter Pitcairn, ought to have held
the chief position in the county; as it
was, he was too indolent for anything
but the most ordinary and Indispensable
needs of life. He ate and drank inGus-
triously; he slept well; he enjoyed sitting
in the coziest of easy chairs; but more
useful occupations, he had none. Those
who knew him best said it was a good
thing he had married as he did. Lady Pit
cairn was a woman of bu.aness-keen.
shrewd, quick, capable of mana ging an
estate-a woman of plain, practical COM
mon sense; active, industrious and ener-
getic.
They had two daughters-two beautiful
and accomplished girls-and every one
wondered that such commonplace parents
should have such beautiful, graceful chill
dren. The eldest, Anice, was a lovely,
graceful blonde, fair as lily, with hair
that shone like threads of gold; the
youngest, Cecile, resembled her, save that
her hair was of a darker brown, and her
eyes of hazel hue. They were the bellies
of the country, feted, admired, and eager
ly sought after. 1t was to this household,
composed of such opposite characters,
that Lady Pitcairn in her kind, impulsive
activity, brought Lady Hilda Dunhaven.
''Such an adventure, my dears," she
said to her two daughters. 'Smithson
drove over a young lady on the Herring
stone road; we have brought her home
half dead. You must none of you go to
see her. Let her be taken to the blue
room. have sent for Doctor Borbicon." !"
The doctors decision was favorable;
she had certainly injured her brain, but
he did not fear for her. With great care
and good nursing she would recover.
"Who can she be|' cried my lady.
"Here is purse with more than Il hun
dred pounds in notes in it, Who can she
be? And what can have brought lady
to the Heringstone road alone in the dusk
of the evening? What does she say,
Martha?' she added, quickly.
She was standing with her lady's maid
near the bedside, and suddenly the white
lips had opened to murmur some half in
distinct words.
"What does she say?" my lady repeat
ed, as the faint, feeble words came again.
II cannot hear distinctly said the
maid; 'but it sounds like a thorn in my
heart
"a thorn in her heart, poor child! What
nonsense! She had more likely a wound
in her head. She must be delirious."
1T is thorn in my heart. and l am
dead to them for evermore. Oh, mother,
ask God to take me home"
The words We're cried out in tone of
keenest pain; burst of passionate tears
relieved the burning brain. They did not
interrupt her; they stood by calm and still
until the passion of grief had exhausted
itself, then Lady Pitcairn went to her
and said:
''Try to keep yourself quiet; you have
had a very serious accident

How Fast.

This sounds as if it came from the
variety stage. But as Il matter of fact.
it is history, for occasionally funny
things do happen in the courts besides
the lawyers.
1t was in q negligence case recently
and Il good-humored Irishman was
witness.
The Judge, lawyers and everybody
else We're trying their best to extract
from the Irishman something about
the speed of a train.
"Was it going fast?" asked the Judge

':How fast?"
ooh, purity fasht, yer Honor"
"Well, how fast?"
CAV, purity fasht.'
''Was it as fast as n man can run?"

that the basis for an analogy was sun
piled. "As fasht as two min kin run. Sc

CHAPTER XI.

Lady Hilda Dunhaven threw herself
back in the railway carriage with the air
of one relieved from an intolerable bur
den.
She was alone now-alone forever more;
she was dead to them for all time. She
could not collect her thoughts, not one
idea was clear to her except this-that liv
ing, she must live with a thorn in her
heart, and that for all time she was dead
to him.
When the train stopped, she walked out
of the London Bridge station, feeling that
she was indeed alone in the world.
She would not go to any hotel to sleep,
lest by so doing she should leave any
traces of her fight-she would walk
through the streets until morning. AS she
walked up and down the deserted streets,
she thought of her young husband on
French soil.
"He will not regret me-" she thought.
bitterly; she has the money, he will be
pleas that am out of the way
The night was long-the stars shone out
brightly, the clear, sweet air was inter-
mingled no longer with the busy sounds
of busy men, Morning came, and at six
o'clock she was at Euston Square. She
had not decided where to go-she said
TO herself that fate should decide that for
her A train was in the depot, and wher-
ever rhe train was going she would go.
She listened-it was for Rugby, Crewe
and Chester. She would go to Chester
Once more she purchased a ticket and
was soon in the old, quaint town OF Ches-
ter. Then, feeling i'll almost unto death,

Never mind about understanding she
replied; drink this and go to sleep. You
must rest
She '.id as she was told, and the long,
quiet sleep seemed to restore her. 1t was
morning when she opened her eyes, and
the sun was shining in the room. Indy
Pitcairn, who was deeply interested in her
protese, was by her side again.
You are better, my dear" she said
You would like to know where you are.

place, and my husband is Sir Peter Pit
cairn. l am Lady Pitcairn. Would you

The troubled eyes fell before her.

But, my dear, they will be anxious
about you. You were walking by your

man drove over you. You will let me
write, at least, to say where you are?'
II would rather not" she replied.
And her face grew so troubled that
Lady Pitcairn could not continue her
questions. Lady Dunhaven said, in a
low voice:
Il am very grateful to you for your
wonderful kindness; but as soon as l can,
must leave YOU"
1T is impossible that you should hav.
no friends. Perhaps you are not on good
terms with them? Tell me-you may
trust me-"

"She must be lady" thought the mis-
tress of Branksome. ''She treats me quite
as an equal" Aloud she answered.:
Il am willing, as you say, to take you
on your word, but l must have some
name to call you."

The Boom that Never Came.

In Bainbridge, Cuyahoga County.
Ohio, not far from Cleveland, is the
queerest country general store I ever
ran across, says writer in the Chicago
Times-Herald. Bainbridge is small
hamlet, but the store is as large and as
we'll stocked as the average suburban
store. 1t is kept-that is precisely the
word for it-by an old widower, who
has no relatives in that section of the
country and is practically hermit.
When the civil war began he was run
ming furnishing general store in Balm.
bridge and made money rapidly during
the succeeding four years When peace
was declared prices, which had been
greatly inflated, took a sudden drop
The old fellow believed that this would
be followed by boom which would
send prices skyward again, and refus
ed to sell his goods for less than what
he paid for them. Down went the
prices-down, down, down-and finally
he was forced to close his store fo1
want of purchasers.
To-day his store stands almost exact
ly as it did thirty years ago. It was
stocked with such goods as are usually
found in country stores but, of course
the stock is now practically worthless.

Small Creatures of Mighty Muscle.

Small Creatures of Mighty Muscle.
The shell-less limpet pulls 1884 times
its own weight when in the air, and
about double when measured in the
water. Fleas pull 1,493 times their
own dead weight. The Mediterranean
cookie can exert pulling power equal
to 2,O11 times the weight Of it's own
body. So great is the power possessed
by the oyster that to open it a force
equal to 1895 times the weight of it's
soft body is required. If human be-
ing possessed strength as great in pro-
portion as that Of the shellfish the av-
erage man would be able to lift the
enormous weight Of 2,976OOO pounds;
pulling in the same degree as the
cookie he would sustain weight of no
less than 3,1O6,500 pounds.
