Canker's charges they were simply rot.
He hadn't the faintest inkling what had
become of the purloined letters any
more than he had of the Whereabouts
of his Delta Sig friend, young Morton,
now officially proclaimed deserter
But Armstrong heard more tales of
Witches devotions to him in his i'll
ness, and the slow convalescence that
ensued, noted how the boys eyes fol
lowed her about the deck, and how
many a time he would seek her side
even when other men were reading,
walking or chatting with her. Arm
strong looked with wonderment that
was close allied to incredulity and pain.
Was it possible that this blithe lad, who
had won such warm interest in the
heart of such a girl as Amy Lawrence,
could be forgetful of her, faithless to
her, and fascinated now by this selfish
and shallow butterfly? 1t was incred-
ible!
But was it? The days had grown hot
ter, the nights closer, and the air be-
tween decks was sitting when the sea
rolled high and closed the ports. OIL
GERS had taken to snoozing up on deck
in steamer chairs. BY an unwritten
law the port side of the promenade
deck was given up to them after IL at
night; but the women folk had the run
of the starboard side at any hour when
the crew were not washing down decks.
Armstrong had been far forward about
two o'clock one breathless night to see
for himself the condition of things in
the hospital under the forecastle. The
main deck was crowded with sleeping

return, instead of continuing along the
gangway, he decided to climb the iro1
ladder from the main to the promenade
deck. 1t would land him at the forward
! end Of the starboard side. There he
could smoLe cigar in peace and quiet.
1t was high time everybody was asleep.
But as his head and eyes reached til,
level of the deck he became suddenl,
aware OF couple huddled close to-
gether in the shelter of canvas
screen, and under the steps leading
aloft to the bridge. He knew Gray'a

Ruled Off For Life.

On Saturday last Tom Schwartz got
into an alteration with the track
managers at Reno and standing in
front of the Judges stand applied
abusive language to Theo. Winters,
the Judge.
The Association resented the insult
by ruling Schwartz and all his horses
of the track at Reno for LIE. AS the
track is an Association track it bars
Swartz of all the tracks in the United
States for life.

The Nestor Of the Turf.

Last week at Reno there were some
track records broken in the running
matches and this is due in a measure to
the fact that Hon. Theo. Winters the
Nestor Of the Western turf, was acting
as judge.
Some years ago the jobberies were so
rank in the Reno races that Winters
took his string of running horses from
the grounds, unloaded his opinion of the
meeting Oh the Judg 10 no uncertain
language, and vowed that he would
never run another horse on track
where the meeting of the Association
was placed in hands Of jobbers and job

years, and the absence of his well

ed no money on the result. His was
always square tussel for the purses
and he always held that the pool box
was running honest sport.

that they would get some running tina

down their spines. mo mOnkeyins

At the opening he called up the jock

and published on every race course il

their duties and they listened to hi
short blunt sentences that fell like tril

VERMONT MAPLE SUGAR.
-
A New Promoter of a., Inading In

Burlington, VT, April 14.-Mr. p.
j. Towle of st. Paul, Mimi, is in the
city looking over the field with a view
to establishing in this vicinity man
ufactory for the production of maple
sweets, that is, various articles and
products that can be made from
maple sap, syrup OF sugar. All the
farmers with whom he has had any
correspondence or communication are
eager for the consummation of his
project as it would furnish direct
and certain market for owners of
sugar orchards all over the state.
Mr.. Towle has seen a good deal of
the maple sugar industry IN Canada,
and says that many carloads are an
nually shipped into the states and find
a ready market.
"The sugar made there, however,
SAID Mr.. Towle, sis much stronger
and is all put up in cakes about the
ize Of an ordinary brick. 1t is hard
as flint and much blacker in color
than the Vermont article. Primitive
methods are still employed by the
in making the syrup and
sugar, but ! think that the farther
north you 60 the sweeter the sap.
That from maple groves in the north
of Vermont is much SWeeter than that
found in the south Of the State.'

valued at $ls7,Ooo. Miss Adams

waist they give kineFa blouse effect

hair waves back from 1.-The forehead
and is parted slightly to- 6he left. The
pose is that of taking a step forward,

the principal holders being Messrs.
AFRO Morse, Charles Currier and EN-.
ory Smith. The building of the
Barre railroad did not take long. as
surveying was Immediately commence
ed, and on May 1st, 1888, when the
first step was taken, until November
of the same year continual work was
done, resulting in the present magnih-
cent system. The first quarry opened
was owned by AFRO Morse and located
on the heights at Keith's road.
The manufacturers on Burnham S
meadow wishing some way of having
closer connections with the railroad
formed company known as the
Granite Railroad Company and in one
day placed sufficient tracks to their
sheds to answer the purpose and con-
meet with the Barre r. r.
The building of the Granite Rail-
way Company practically closed out
the Central Vermont option, but they
did not seem to mind until lately
when the injunction restrained them
from proceeding any further.
1t will be interesting to watch the
outcome, as the Barre railroad claim
that the options have run out, it be-
ing more than six years since they
were granted, and consequently, ac-
cording to law, the Central Vermont
cannot cross the tracks on the meadow.
If the Central Vermont concluded
to run from the present depot right
ahead to South Barre, it would be
necessary to cross the tracks of the
Barre railroad or 60 around.
The rumor now is that they intend
new passenger depot at
Blackwell street, also a freight depot
which will certainly place that por-
tion of the city in good standing so
far as real estate is concerned and
will tend to lengthen the business
portion of the city, by having more
stores between North Barre and
Depot square.
