Thomas Penniman was given a coat of
tar and feathers at Grafton Sunday night
and ridden out of town on a rail. Penn
imam short time ago went to board
with Albert Fish and family, who lived
on "A farm near Grafton. The conduct of
Penniman and Mrs. Fish soon began to
cause talk and at last public feeling be-
came So strong that the good people of
that staid little village took the law into
their own hands and administered a dose
of wild western Justice such as is seldom
witnessed in conservative Vermont. An
imprOmptu committee was formed,
which comprised some of the leading
citizens of the village. Without any at
tempt at Disgusting themselves they pro-
ceeded at night to the Fish house. Here
they found Penniman. whom they drag
ged from his bed, and the kettle of tar
being quickly heated he was treated TO a
liberal coating, after which he was rolled
in the contents of feather bed. mounted
upon convenient fence rail and carried
through the streets to the outskirts of
the village, where, after being given
some plain talk, he was released and
warned TO leave the town.

the CLASSY surface of the water, with
Lady Mlldrbd's proud, sweet face be-

hat.
A long silence fell upon both during
the latter part Of that row. and as they
walked slowly home together under a
saffron-colored evening sky they hard
ly spoke at ALL Lady Mildred was
thinking that her companion, with
twenty thousand year to back him,
was more than endurable. Bernard
was wishing that Marguerite could
have the advantage of few lessons
in the art of dress from Lady Mildred.
He wished so even more when her
ladyship walked into the drawing
room some time later, her clear-cut
face and plant figure set off by ame-
thyst-colored plush, which caught the
light on all its ripping folds.
She was conscious, as she entered,
that she was looking at that moment
as beautiful as 1t was in her power to
look, but nothing in her perfect man
ners betrayed the thought. She
crossed the room slowly, purposely
stopping on the way to replace some
flowers which had fallen from vase.
AS she turned again, her glance fell
upon a gentleman who stood on the
white fur hearthrug, talking to her
father, A sudden change passed over
the face which before had been only
beautiful. No other man ever carried
himself with such careless grace as
this man. AS he stood, only the back
of his head visible she knew that 1t
was Valdane; her breath came more
quickly, her heart beat faster at the
thought. She stood perfectly still, her
eyes fixed upon him. Then he turned
slowly round, saw her, and at once
came forward. She moved not an
inch, but remained where she was, the
brilliantly lighted room bringing out
every point of her beauty.
Their hands met, and in that mo-
ment she knew that he was changed
He looked i'll and worn, but in her
eyes thousandfold more lovable. His
greeting was cordial, but It lacked the

face for the wherefore, but found /,

Bernard saw that he had started an
unweicome topic. He adroitly changed
the subject.

small Island in the middle, much used

ooh, she was always very busy, you

sion. "lAe girls had always plenty to

that's over now"
The sketch finished, he showed it to
Lady Mildred, who was evidently
much struck.

"Yes, but it was taken a long time

was a brief silence.

Lady Mildred's ebbing spirits came
rushing back in swift flow. She
thought she had key now to his cold
greeting and worn appearance. It was
love OF her, she thought, which was
telling upon him; she had accom-
plished her object, she had made Val
dane Jealous.
