respect, In the attendance We're many

plary young man, There We're COM

MAYMART QUARANTINE.
Raised from All but Three Houses
in the Village-Board of Health,
Satisfied with Smallpox Situation,
Also Opens schools-Hull Getting
Better.

oSGICAs
The board of health of the village of
Waymart, at it's meeting on Thursday
evening last, after hearing its physi-
clans report with respect to the small
poX patient, Bert Hull, decided to raise
the quarantine from all but three of
the houses. These are the Cliff house,
where the patient is located, and the
two near ones, from which it would
not be prudent to remove all restric-
tions at this time.
The board also decided to reopen the
schools, and this morning the scholars
will be at their tasks again for the
first time since it was fully established
that it was smallpox with which Hull
was afflicted.
The action of the board of health in
raising the quarantine which affected
almost the entire village, and of re-
opening the school, is based on the fact
that it is eighteen days since Hull was
stricken. This is the maximum period
in which smallpox could spread or de-
velop from another, and as there are no
indications whatever of another out
break, and no danger is feared, it was
deemed safe to allow the residents the
freedom of communication they ordin-
arily enjoy. The order of the quaran-
tines removal will be hailed with good
cheer by Waymart people who have
suffered somewhat from the irksome,
though necessary measures of safety
that had to he religiously employed.
TO the immediate establishment of
quarantine is attributed the success in
confining the disease to a single pa
tient.
The patient, Hull, who has had such
a hard time of it, his recovery being
feared for at one stage, is getting bet

tried to perform a feat which accord.
ing to tradition, has never been ac
complished but by George Washing
ton. Young Litchfield, watched by
hundreds. attempted to scale the

that he might carve his name at the
top. He is a man of unusual strength
and activity, and he succeeded in as.

crevices in the rock and the vegetation
growing thereon
Above that point the cliff rears itself
naked and almost perpendicular. Here
his heart failed him. and he turned to

distance when the treacherous rock
crumbled beneath his feet and he fell
headlong, turning over and over in his
descent. He rose to his feet unaided.
and an examination showed that he
had only a few bruises.
He announced later that Washing
ton might keep the championship belt.

When Blilinger returned from
luncheon his first thought was for
Chicot In vain he searched the Of
fce. Chicot was not to be found. He
summoned the head clerk. Nobody
had entered his sanctum, declared
that functionary, but Mr.. Patterson.
"Batterson." cried the unhappy Bill
linger, and collapsed into chair.
Did he take the dog away?" Certain
~ not the clerk replied. Mr.. Batter
son went out as he had entered, and
he was perfectly certain that he had
no dog concealed about his person.
Bilinser dismissed the clerk and
cursed his luck for five minutes with
out repeating himself. Then, in des-
peration, he closed his desk and sent
for a cab. The suspense was unen-
durable. He had made up his mind
to know the worst at once.
The man who answered his ring
would see if Miss Mayhem was at
home and ushered him into we'll
remembered drawing room. AS soon
as his eyes became accustomed to the
dim half light he was aware Of a
figure in the chair by the window. The
next instant he recognized it. 1t was
PATTERSON. In his lap lay forlorn
bhck heap whose name was Chicot.
The Jennings daily record., 1902-08-11

he had ever seen at any one time in
his life.
Then he glanced triunphantly at
the captive Chicot and Went out to
luncheon in high spirits. What l will
40 to that pestiferous pup said he
to himself. will be what the etiquette
books describe as general sutti-
ciency."
Alas for Billinger. While he was
treating himself handsomely at
neighboring- cafe, who should drop in
at his office but the hated Patterson,
whose partner had 4 law case in
Billingers hands.
The first object that met his aston
ished gaze was the form of the mud
bespattered Chicot. Now it happened
that Patterson had received by tele-
phone the awful news OF Chicot's TAX
ing off. Funny thing he thought.
-Bilinger must have found the pup"
But then he remembered that Miss
Mayhew had said that she had asked
Billinger to advertise for him. He
remembered this the more distinctly
lGcause he hau offered his own ser
vices to that end, and had been any
thing but pleased to find that he had
been anticipated.
A great light began to illumine the
obscurity of Batterson's mind. He
passed into the hall, carefully clos
ing the uoor behind him, and reen
tered Billingers private Office by the
other door. Patterson united the rope
that fastened the dog to the safe
leaving the other end still tied to
that substantial piece of furniture.
Then. taking the joyous Chcot in his
arms. he stole silently out into the
hall. closing the door behind him. and
walked down eight flights of stairs.
Peering cautiously out into the street
he rejoiced to see no Billinger, and
bearing his armful OF muddy dog, fed
precipitately toward Broad street.

q KIDNAPPED POODLE

Biilinger was speecnless. He rose
and took one step toward the door.
Flight was his purpose. Nothing else
was left him now. Too late! At that
very instant Miss Mayhem entered the
room. A handkerchief was pressed to
her eyes, and If there had been sufa-
cient light it could have been seen
that they were red. Eillinger stood
miserably aside. Patterson advanced
proudly to the middle of the room
but before he could speak the poodle
leaped from his arms and rushed with
joyous yelps upon his mistress.
Patterson was clothed in a proud
humility, and as he opened his mouth

re- ERE is q story Of an unsuc-
cessful ruse in love, and
kidnapped poodle. Billinger
and Patterson were rivals for
the good graces OF Miss May
hew, and Miss Mayhem was dotingly
fond of her pug, Chicot.
It was after a visit to his adored
one that Eillinger was struck with
great idea.
AS he turned into the avenue he
met q butchers boy whom he renlem-
bered as having, on rare occasions,
by reason of q reputation for unim-
peachable integrity, been intrusted
with the precious Chicot on rainy
days when, decpite the weather. 1t
was deemed desirable that the animal
should be exercised. Billinge- stopped
the Fastening youth and addressed
him something in this wise:
Young man, are you ambitious!'
The boy grinned amiably, for he knew
Billinger, and responded succinctly:
Sure thing"
"'Tis we'll" quoth Billinger. Have
you any objection to laying forthwith
the foundations of the princely fortune
that will one day be yours?" The boy
grinned again and guessed not, where
upon Billinger, with many admonitions
to secrecy unfolded his plot.
The details of the conspiracy are not
important Suffice IL to say that one
rainy morning about ten days later the
boy appeared at Biilinger's Office In
John street with a much-tedraggled
and altogether rebellious Chicot, whom
an office boy was straightway deputed
to tie to the safe in Billlnger's sane
tum.
We'll done. good and faithful serv-
ant" said Billinger solemnly to the

He impetuously tore open the en-
