had been giving this night. 1.-THE
Twelfth have been swearing like pirates
at having another doughboy saddled on
'em, chuckled Captain Perkins, him
self a doughboy. "Begad, the Twelfth
has no better picture Of the officer and
the gentleman than this importation
from the foot" But no one spoke with
the thought of being heard as Laura
Winn finished her greeting to Mrs.
Frazier. Every man and woman was
intent only on what was coming next,
Though many strove to speak or to
appear to listen to their neighbors.
Charlotte Frazier actually rose from
her seat and stepped out into the room
that she might have better view.
And Barclay would not have been
the obseryant man he had already shown
himself to be had he not known it. His
color was bit high for one whose face
was ordinarily SO PALE but he stood
calmly erect, with an expression Of
pleased contemplation in his fine eyes,
waiting for Mrs. VIM to finish the
somewhat hurried yet lavish words that
she addressed to Mrs. Frazier; then she
turned effusively upon him.
Captain Barclay!'' she exclaimed.
"How very good to see you here, and
how glad we all are to welcome you to
the Twelfth. Mr.. Winn and have
been in despair because his illness has
kept him a prisoner. Indeed doubt if
1 should have left him at all tonight
but for his positive orders-and the
doctor. Then of course much wanted
to see you-too. :"
She had begun confidently, even mas
terfully. She looked him with deter
mined effort straight in the face at the
start, but her confidence fitted before a
dozen words were said. Her voice fall
tered before she had half finished, for
Barclays eyes frankly, even smilingly,
met hers, and with ease and dignity
and courteous interest all commingled
he had bowed slightly over her hand,
lowered it after a brief, by no means
lingering, pressure and stood, merely
mentioning her name, ''Mrs. Winn, >"
and, as was rather way of his, letting
the other party do all the talking. 1t
was godsend to Laura Vim that the
waltz music began at the next instant,
for his nonchalance was something ut.
terly unexpected. Oh, how dared he
look SO calmly, indifferently, forgetful-
ly, almost unrecognizingly into her
eyes and stand there SO placidly when
her heart was futtering wildly with
nervous excitement, her words coming
in gasps?
ooh, Mr.. Brayton, how heavenly, I"
she exclaimed. Don't let us lose an
instant of that waltz Over his gilt
tering shoulder she beamed in parting
bewitching smile, leveled all at Bar
clay, and glided away, a floating cloud
of filmy drapery, vision of flashing
eyes, of flushing checks, of dazzling
white teeth cleaning between the part
ed rose leaves of her mouth, Of snowy
shoulders and shapely arms, of peeping,
pointed, satin shod feet, the handsomest
creature in all that crowded room and
the most dismally unhappy. She had
met him i'll the witnessing presence of
all Fort Worth, and all the garrison
saw that she had sustained a crushing
defeat. She who was to have been his
wife and had duped him. she who had

A HUSBANDS love.
Easily Won and Often Care
lesSly Lost.
Good Health the Secret, as SOr-
rOwful Wives Know.
A Hint to Women They Will Not Be
Slow to Take.

Women win husbands by their beauty.
1t is mistake to think that man does
not pay much attention to his wife's beauty
after marriage. He is always charmed by
her good looks, vivacity and bright ap-
pearance.
These attributes of beauty depend en-
tirely on her maintaining good health.
The prudent wife, therefore, will not allow
her personal attractions to fade. She will
not permit her complexion to lose its
roses, her face to become sallow, her lips
purple or colorless, her eyes heavy and
crows feet to appear under the eyelids
through the weakness, nervousness; all
ments, and the cares and worries SO com
mon to women. She cannot be bright,
joyous and happy with the weight of
female weakness and disease dragging her
down with its train of weakening and ex-
hausting symptoms, headache, backache
and nervous exhaustion.

OFFICER BATES RESIGNS.
Otherwise He Might Have Been Asked tt
Resign-Incident of Recent Fire.

Otherwise He Might Have Been Asked to
Resign-Incident of Recent Fire.
Special Officer Bates of this town ten
dered, Wednesday morning, his resigna-
ton as town officer. The missive was
received by Henry Goddard of the board
of selectmen, and It is dollars to dough-
nuts that it will be accepted without a
dissenting vote at the next meeting of
that body. Indeed, 1t was case of either
resigndng or being asked to resign, and
Special Officer Bates concluded to take the
former course.
The trouble all arose in consequence of
the recent fire in the north part Of the
town. Bates, in his official capacity was
called upon to keep the crowd back, and
to assist the f1remen in the performance
Of their duties. But not only was there
fire at the place; there was fire water as
we'll. And Bates evidently had as much
concern in the fire water as he did in the
fire.
Now there were others that were just as
badly off as the aforesaid special officer.
Numerous persons in the crowd, and not a
few OF the firemen partook rather too free
ly of the liquid refreshment that some one
furnished gratis. But unlike many of
those present, Bates was there on bust
when man Is on duty why he should be
intoxicated. 1t is not to get fual that the
officers are paid good money out of the
taxes levied upon the toWnspeople
Shrewsburyites realize this, and propose
to make an example of Mr.. Bates.
Subsequent developments will be await
ed with interest. Dame rumor has 1t that
some of the fremen before long. Time will

Whitins Brothers to Reduce Wages O.
Operatives After Jan. 10.


Operatives After Jan. 10.
Whitins Brothers of this town, who
operate cotton mills at North Uxbridge,
Linwood, Saundersville and Wh1tinsville.
have posted notices announcing that the
wages of the operatives will be reduced on
and after Jan 10. A reduction of wages
has already gone into effect at Milloury,
Sturbridge and in the Farnumsville mills.
Capt. Alfred e. Adams, superintendent
of the Whitinsville cotton mills and agent
of the Linwood mills, says that although
the schedule of wages Is not fully decided
upon, it will amount to an average cut
of 10 per cent throughout the mills. He
said the cut was not a straight one, but
was made out carefully after thorough
canvass of the mills and a thoughtful con-
sideration of the labor performed and the
amount now received for 1t. The case of
each operative was treated as Justice de-
manded, and Mr.. Adams believed the oper-
atives would accept the reduction without
material objection, as they had been led
to believe by the events in other places
that this action on the part of the mill
owners of Whitnsville was only question
of time He said the operatives had moth
ing to gain and everything to lose by max
ing any reTnonstrance against the reduc-
ton, as business is in such a state aM over
New England that manufacturers in the
cotton cloth business could not concede
anything and it had come to a question
of shutting down or reducing the wages
paid the operatives. The mills manufac-
ture fine sheetings shirtings and sateens.

EXPERT CANDY MAKERS
CALLED TO TESTIFY IN THE
BoTKIN CASE
The Evidence as Yet Produced Fails
to Connect the Defendant With
the Crime

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15-George
Haas, from whose store Mrs Botkin is al
legged to have bought the candy sent to
Mrs. Dunnlng, and two employees, were on
the witness stand in the case today. They
were examined regarding the manufacture
OF chocolate creams and other candies, and
the possibility of poison getting into the
candy during the course OF manufacture.
Nothing OF a. very satisfactory nature for the
defense was adduced.
Mrs. j.. Simpson, who was proprietor OF
the Victoria Hotel when Mrs. Botkin re-
sided there, told of the emotions of the
woman when John p. Dunnns went 10
New York TO accept an engagement as a
Cuban war correspondent. Mrs. BOtkin,
some time after Dunning's departure, as
she feared lie might be killed. Mrs. Slmp-
son was positive that there was nothing to
criticise IN Mrs. Botkin's conduct while she
was resident at the Victoria.
James W. Erwin, postal inspector, was
called, but his testimony was of little i'm
portance, except as showing that the pack
age was mailed at Station ID in this city.
John ID. Dunnigan, a mail clerk at Station
d, positively asserted that package SINH
lar to the one sent to Mrs. Dunning passed
through his hands early in August He was
positive because the name 'on the package
was 30 similar to his own that it attracted
special attention. 1t was addressed to Do
ver Del, but he was not certain whether
it was designated for Mr.. and Mrs. Dun
ming, but was certain regarding the name.
Mrs. Birdie Price, who succeeded Mrs.
Simpson as proprietless of the Victoria ho
tel, testified that number of people had
been in Mrs. Botkins room between the
time Mrs. Botkin left and the time Haas
seal was found there. The seal has been
identified as the one used on the box of
candy sold Mrs Botkin
