How else could he get possession

THE respondent claims that it was
written lately and to Edes himself
said Mr.. Ferguson.
"Oh, but / never called him my hus-
band-neVer!" she said. That letter
1 wrote to Vane a year ago"
Her declaration was evidently so
sincere that many gave 1t instant be-
lief They felt convinced that in some
way the letter had come into the pos
session of Edes, perhaps with the key
and notes. This was the one which
Mrs. Fry found in the lining of his
coat, and which she sent to Mr. Swan
and by him was transmitted to Mr..
Bruce. 1t will be recollected that
Constance laid her hand on that very
letter and that Mrs. Fry spoke of the
signature as in two parts, and Bruce
as flower name. Two witnesses from
the neighborhood where Mrs. Ashley
resided testified to the manner of her
death, and the curious report
was read in court. The letter
written by her husband they stated
could not be found, but one witness, a
woman, Mrs. Mann. testified to having
seen and read it-that Mrs. Ashley
showed 1t to her, and the ring, on the
day of its receipt.
At the close of the testimony for the
respondent it seemed a clear case Nn
his favor, and as the public judged,
1t must so appear to the jury. Still,
the interest did not subside, and on
the morning of the seventh day of
the trial the Court House was thronged
to hear the closing arguments by the
counsel. All of the principal persons
interested in the case were present ex-
cept Mrs. Hamilton, who was suffering
from exhaustion. But the claimants
were both there-both erect, keen
eyed and determined. Indeed. the re-
semblance was more marked than it
had been on any previous occasion.
Perhaps 1t was because each was
swayed by the same feelings of sus-
pense Mr.. Carter looked old and care
worn, the lawyers watchful and deter
mined, the judges little weary, the
jurymen as If striving to pay close at
te-tion.

Game was plentiful in the neigh
borhood in those days, but at the time
of which l speak it was more than
usually abundant. There had been
some heavy forest fires over in the
park, and the game was driven out
to the south. One morning Frank
looked out from the door of his cabin
and saw a bunch of about twenty elk
in his horse pasture. He got his rife
and killed two without moving from
the shadow of his house. He dressed
them and hung them up on the meat

when ne got up the next morning
he found he had had visitors during
the night. Some bears had come
alcng and robbed his larder What
they had not eaten they had destroyed
or buried. When a bear turns THIEF
he is penurious as well as cheeky and
bold.
This angered Frank. 1t was the
middle of October, and the meat
would have kept in good shape. He
did not enjoy having his calculations
for his winters provender upset. The
tracks indicated that there had been
three or four marauders, ano he de-
cided that some of them should adorn

when he was about half asleep the
peculiar half grunt, half-growl OF the
grizzly brought him to his feet In an

he could see a monster silver tip stand

William the Conqueror of Warren Stock

The first to assume the name War
rem was a Norman baron who lived on
the river Varenne. Hence the name
which has had various forms-de Var
renne, WaTene, Warrena, Warrener
Warinus, and finally Warren.
The Baron de Varenne's daughter
Gunnora married Richard. Duke OF
Normandy; their grandson, Robert
was father of William the Conqueror.
, When William and his Norman
army invaded Great Britain one of
his knights was William de Varrene;
he was given estates and was known
as Earl of Warren, and married the
Conquerors daughter Gundrada.
II the mighty Conqueror was the
greatest man of his day, then the Earl
of Warren ranked second in import
ance, for when william was absent
from his realm, Warren was Guardian
earldom. that of Survey, was given to
him. Malcom and William. kings Of
Scotland, were of Warren stock.
The first of the name in the New
World was man of affairs, for he
is spoken of as "Mr."-a mark of dis
tinction in Colonial times. He was
Richard Warren, and had consider
come over in the Mayfower. His
wife, Elizabeth, followed three years
later with her five daughters on the
Ann. One of the daughters, Sarah,
married in 1884 Johp Cooke, son Of
Francis Cooke. II is an interesting
coincidence that the fathers of both of
them came i'm the Mayfiower and the
mothers on the Ann.
The Warren name is a synonym
for courage and patriotism. Repre-
senta tives have taken part i'm every
American war since the storming Of
the Narragansett fort in 1874. Joseph
Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill, was
the model of a patriot. II was he
who sent Paul Revere on his memoir
able midnight ride to warn Adams
and Hancock, thus making possible
the initial victory OF the war.
The true version of the story, that
when delivering a political speech a
British officer levelled a pistol at his
head is that the officer displayed a lot
OF bullets in his hand and Warren at
once covered them with his handker-
chief. Warren found this meeting so
crowded that rather than disturb the
audience he procured a ladder and en-
tered by window.

reached the rawhide covering of the
timbers he could get no further. It
was the one dry spot, however, where
he could shield his cold and bleeding
feet from the frost, and he was not
slow to take advantage of it. 1t was
to this spot that he would retreat
whenever there was a cessation of
hostilities, and during these intervals
he would slap his feet and legs and
wave his arms to quicken his circu-
lation and escape freezing to death.
But his breathing spells were not

dropped to the ground. But, as luck
would have it, he tumbled against the
door and pushed it open. Then began
the looting of the cabin, in which
every bear in the bunch took part.
"Pandemonium would have been

arose from below. Sounds of break

pots and pans, told tale of how the

scattered about mattress and pillows
were ripped open, and up through the
chimney floated -four dust and feath-

under the command of a general, with
their wounded companion in the mid

to climb on to the roof and two
smaller ones resembled the polar spe-
cies, on account of their coating of
flour.

KILLS FISH
And SP0|LS
THE CLANS

The pollution OF the Providence river ana
Narragansett Bay has reached the seri-
Gus point where the FISH are dying by
thousands. and the clans and oysters
that make the state famous throughout
the whole United States are becoming
so impregnated with the strong oily taste
that they are becoming unfit for food and
are being refused by many OF the cooks
through the city.
The prominent Ash and shell fish deal
ers are already placing ban on the
CLANS that are dug this side or Conimi-
cut Point and unless some action is taken
Immediately II is stated that the industry
by which hundreds OF along shore dwell
ers OF the state make their living Will
be destroyed
One local restaurant man tells the
story OF a mess OF handsome clans
which ne cooked for patron and round

taste as OF kerosene. Without saying any
thing he set the cooked she'll fish before

This is but one OF many instances ana
Il Is thought that the oily refuse from
the gas works or some other manufactur-
ing plant discharged into the harbor hnds
lodgment along shore and when the tde
goes out the nlthy scum settles on the
clam flats and when the FISH in the pro-
cess OF assimilating its food sucks the
mud IL takes In the oily matter.
Although the conditions are somewhat
different with the oysters. there is still a
chance for complaint in regard 10 the
nuisance for the bivalve when washed
soon after being brought up often leaves
an oily scum on the surface showing that
I'm some manner the refuse has reached
IL. In this case the flavor OF the shell
fish is bound 20 be impaired somewhat
and the value OF II as commodity de-
creascs
In regard 10 the fish, for some cause or
other the ''porgies" or menhaden are dy-
inc In great numbers from some mysteri-
Gus cause and II ls generally supposed
that tho same stuff that spoils the shell

ST. Louis. June 2.--In an address before

sociation on THE Religious Opportunity
and Obligation of the Home" the Rev.
Cyrus r. Stmson OF Kansas City has
impressed the ministers that IL Is their
duty TO have large families. The modern
five-room fiat he declared TO be an enemy
TO family NE and emphasized this re-
mark by stating that the owners OF such
property have placed a premium on small
families. and accordingly upon infanticide.
One OF the great evils OF modern society
he declared TO be the fact that people
put of marital obligations until too late
In life.
Parents are greatly TO be blamed for
this They exact OF the suitor for the
daughters hand conditions that most men
cannot comply with. II Is the duty OF
ministers 10 preach to the members of
their focks urging early marriages and
large families.
