One can become accustomed to al
most anything-eyen to living on top
of a pillar, like st. Simon Stylites-
and perhaps in time come to prefer
that particular state Of being to any
other.
And so he who had once been known
as Jack Maynard accustomed himself
to the idea that to play successfully
the part of Maurice Blandon, sixth
Duke of Leicester, he must also play
the part of accepted lover. The girl
was beautiful and fascinating, said
SaVernake--a girl whom any man
might be proud to win, therefore he
ought to overlook so small an objec-
ton as that someone else had saved
him all preliminary troubles.
And John Maynard (who had not so
much right to that name, il he had
o11v known it, as he had to Maurice
BlanNA). smoked a great many pipes
of stronSteba and waxed unusually
thoughtfuI.Ss
Having consented to make himself
party to a gigantic fraud, he had been
prepared to go into it heart and soul,
as he did with most things. There
was no reason strong enough to allege
to Savernake why he should suddenly
be stopped by comparatively trifiing
a fact as an engagement OF marriage,
especially to pretty girl; but the fact
was that Maynard had derived consid-
cradle pleasure during his months in

professed herself unable to tell wheth-

body Some woman, it was said,
could recognize a single hair cut from
the head of man they loved. Not so
with this palefaced, dry-eyed Irish
girl.
She had looked forward with dread
unutterable to the inquest; but now the
worst was over. Why then did her
heart beat so fast and so irregularly-
what was the meaning of the curious
misty veil that seemed to shut away

a muffled throbbing somewhere-or

by the women, who saw added beauties

was on a ducal coronet, that it was
really quite pathetic to hear his testi-
mony.
The poor Duke and ne had been such
good friends. He was to have been

cousin lived. Since they were at Elton

of resemblance which appeared least
disputable was a broken finger joint
tallying exactly with such a scar on the
left hand of the Duke-the result of a
long past game Of foot ball. This and
other reasons enabled him to swear
that the body he had was that of his
cousin
Having said his say, and sstisfactor-

more than one vacillating juryman,

One of the interesting exhibits will

exhibit will comprise the best Euro
pean, and many of the Japanese va
rieties of plums, some of them never
before exhibited or grown in this sec

fruit farm of A. A. Halliday and Sons
of Bellows Falls, who are the most
extensive growers of plums and cher
ries in the state, and as some mem
Der of the firm will be present each
day of the fair, and will be glad to
give such information as is desired of
these newer varieties, it cannot help
but be of great benefit to fruit grow

some 100 bushels, and their plum crop
will reach nearly to the 300-bushel
mark.

Michael Smith sWho Had Been: In
toxicated, Found Dead.

The fair Wednesday was very success
was very fine-thOught to be the best in
but not quite up to the highest mark, and
that in spite of the fact that the admis-
sion fee had been doubled.
There was more than the usual num-
ber of intoxicated people and the man
agement were prompt in arresting them.
Some sobered up when they found them
selves under arrest and were allowed to
go home. Two were held and Thursday
Judge Williams fined them IS and costs
amounting to something over $40 each
The dance that followed the fair was a
disgrace to the town. Some kind of or
der was kept in the hall, but outside and
up and down the street pandemonium
reigned. About 8 o'clock in the morning
Michael Smith, who lives near the Peru
line, was found dead on the floor of the
Morgan House barn. Medical aid was
summoned, but nothing could be done.
Mr.. Smith was intoxicated and had been
put on a scaffold in the barn. and 1t was
supposed that he had fallen from the
scaffold and met his death in that way.
An inquest was held Thursday before
Judge Williams. Drs. Flandreau and
Rice held an autopsy, and found that
death resulted from a ruptured valve of
the heart-undoubtedly produced by ex-
cessive drinking. Mr. Smith leaves wife
and seven children, the oldest IA years
old, in destitute circumstances, who have
the sympathy of the entire community in
their affiiction. The funeral will be held
from his late home Saturday.
