Fortunes wheel had turned and left
Seraphine Leisure down In the dust. For
the first ID years of her life Seraphine
had been an idolized only child. Her
father was man of inherited wealth,
though utterly lacking the qualities nee
essary for successful business man.
These were In some measure supplied by
Mrs Leisure, q woman well endowed
with practical good sense" But after her
sudden death when Sersphine was just Ia,
things soon began to 60 wrong. MIR Lee
sure made several unsuccessful ventures
and rapidly became more and more in-
volved.
Seraphine was at boa riding school at
sbIs time, and Mr. Leisure was lonely
nideleaged man. And, although rumors
II his falling had gone abroad, he Wa 9
still considered rich, and more than enc
woman was ready to say "yes" IL he
would but ask her to share his splendid
home.
So it was surprise to no ope=but sera-
phine when she returned for the second
summer vacation after her mother g
death, to find another installed in hfr
mothers place. Sefaphine was terribly
upset. But she had inherited much of
her mothers good sense, and quietly re
solved to make the best of 1t.
In the autumn he went back to school.
But with that term her school days and
her girlhood came sudder lg to an end.

CHICKEN THIEVES CAPTURED.

CHICKEN THIEVES CAPTURED
Wednesday moruing of last week, the
time being about 2 O'Clock, John @. Olaf
ty, a Waterbury policeman, while patrol.
ing his beat On South Main street, noticed
two men coming down Jefferson street,
each carrying bag. Thinking 1t rather
strange that anyone should be out &C
that time carrying load OF anything In
bag he followed them up and examined
the bags, which he found to contain
chickens with their necks twisted. Po-
liceman Claffy took the men to the
station and locked them up. The next
mornings paper contained a notice of
the capture. Mr. Roberts, who lives
near the Branch reservoir, happened to
see the item, and as he had lost II chick
ems the night previous he made tracks
for Waterbury. He identified part Of
the chickens, which were held at the
station house, as his. 1t looked to be q
clear case that he had found the thieves
and after preliminary hearing in Water
bury the prisoners were brought before
Justice w. @. French of WATERFOWL.
They are father and son, Rastus Ocker-
man and Smith Ockerman. The son,
Smith OcKerman, pleaded guilty to the
charge OF having stolen the chickens.
The old gents plea was not Runty. The
circumstances were against him, how
ever, and Justice French found probable
cause to bind him over to the next term
of the Superior court, bonds in both
cases being fixed at $500. Sheriff Peck
took them to Litchfleld as they failed to
find bondsman. This chicken stealing
has reached point where summary
measures are necessary to check it. Mi
ROBERTS Ia not the only one who has lost
chickens lately. James r. Hotchkisr
lost 81. w. w. johnson, who lives near
him, lost seven, and a small pig, while
some people in the Center have found the
chicken coops minus the occupants about
| the same time.
