taking up the trail, which they followed in
zigzag directions for eighteen miles, over

on the roads. Thirty loaded rigs were close

For some time they have been figuring that

up to the testing point. The members OF

Makes a Good Showing.

The annual printed report of the Of
fcers of the Northfeld Graded School
district for the year ending June Q,
shows that the actual cost of the new
high school building was $1s,s64, which
includes additional land purchased $780,
~; foundations $940.54; heating plant
S1,419.67. There has also been expended
on the old building $1,357.52. The ex-
pense of maintaining the schools for the
past year was s6,341.20 an increase of
over $500 from 10000; this increase
is due to insurance on the new building,
extra fuel and increased janitor's SER
vices. The value of frst-class jani-
tor such as has been provided the past
year, il very apparent. "A tax Of 50
cents this year is recommended by the
directors. The actual indebtedness of
the school district is now S1s,s10.52,
practically the cost of the new building,
while all the other expenses and the
construction Of the annex on the old
building has been paid. The financial
showing il certainly very satisfactory.
The retiring directors this year are w.
G. Huntley and f. L. Howe, who will
probably be reelected if they will con-
sent to serve another term.

ALMOST ELEcTRocUTED.
Little Girl Rendered Unconscious by
Grasping Swinging Wire.

Saturday evening after the violent
electric and rain storm which visited
st. Adams Mrs. John Mcdonald and her
little daughter, Teresa, narrowly escap-
ed instant death by electrocution. The
little girl was playing in front of the
house and, suspecting no danger, grasp
ed a swinging wire which was formerly
used as a private telephone line by the
St. Adams Street Railway Co., but which
had been cut and allowed to hang from
the pole.
In some way the wire had been cross
ed with the electric light or power
wires and when the little girl touched
it she was rendered unconscious and
could not let go her hold on the wire.
Her mother rushed to her assistance
and when she broke the child's hold
on the wire it swung around and struck
her on the right side Of the forehead
cheek and chin, badly burning and disfig-
uring her. She was not rendered uncon.
scious but is in an extremely nervous
| condition as the result of the affair.

TWO HUNGRY LADS.
Were Breaking Into Hardware Store for
Something to Eat.

Brandon, June 20.-Two boys, aged
respectively 10 and IS years, were ar
rested at Brandon Sunday morning af-
ter an unsuccessful attempt TO break
into the hardware store of Chas. R.
Phelps. They give the names Of Merrill
and William Reynolds, sons of Mrs.
Chas. Abear of 100 Gotham street, Wa
tertown, n. Y.
When first seen the younger boy was
cutting the putty from the glass in a
back window of the Phelps Hardware
store. They became frightened, how
ever, before the job was completed and
when Officer Fletcher arrived were quiz
city poking around in pile Of rubbish
back of the store. When questioned as
to their intentions the elder stoutly de-
MED any wrong intention, but the other
said he couldn't lie about it and admit
ted the work.
Questioned further he said they were
hungry and thought that grocery store
occupied the front of the building on
which they were at work. He further
gave his age as ten and that of hi:
brother as thirteen, their names anG
addresses and that they left their home
six weeks ago, paying their fare to Add
son where an aunt lived with whom they
staid up to several days ago when they
came to Vermont. Saturday night they
spent at the Stone mill, coming into thu
village in the morning.
They are both bright looking and act
ing boys. The elder is reported from
WATERFOWL as tough character. Thi

said shortly after a big dinner at tn

to do with the boys is rather puzzlinq
but in all probability if money is for

prefer any charges against them. 9th
erwise it would seem necessary to com
nit them to the Reformatory at Vel

For the third time coachman called
to Carton to move along that 9th
ers might drive up to the curb, and
with a muttered expression Of disgust
at the length of time 1t took Fred
Howell to select cigar Hugh Carton
ran his automobile across the street
and fell In line behind two other cars
drawn up beside the square. He did
NOT notice that the others belonged to
a sight seeing company until musical
voice inquired what his terms were.
Carton looked down into the face of
an exceedingly pretty girl and dashed
a glance at the cars ahead. In an In

sprang down and opened the door In
the back of the tonneau. In another
moment they were speeding up the
street.
From the corner of his eye he caught
a glimpse Of Fred Howell standing on
the hotel steps, aud his conscience
sm1tc him He had promised Howell
a run. but stlll It was not his fault
That it took his friend 50 long to pick
out cigars while he remained outside
to be tempted by the prettiest girl he
had ever seen.
He could take Howell out at any
time. This was his one chance with
the pretty girl Perhaps after awhile
he could tell her that he was not q
professional chauffeur. Before they
had gone half mile he had built an
air castle in which his first fare was
established as chatelaine, and then sud
denly the fare wrecked his castle.

she ordered and obediently Carton

"Give her good view Of the city ane

She ran up the steps, while CartoI
stared blankly at the five dollar bill
she had thrust into his hand. For
moment he was tempted to follow be
up the steps, give the money to ser
want and drive off Then came tn
comforting reflection that perhaps !
might be easier to establish himsel
with the mother than with the daugh
ter, and he waited.

last he deposited her before her own
door and was free to escape. He did
not even catch glimpse of the girl
who had lured him to his fate.
1t was late when he entered the
Howells' drawing room that evening.
The butler was Just announcing din
ner. and there was barely time to make
hurried greeting to his hostess and
offer his arm to his companion.
Before each plate on the long table
stood a characteristic favor, and the
laughter was long and loud when he
picked up the tiny silver and gilt cigar
cite holder fashioned In the form of an
automobile that stood at his plate.
The laughter became shrek when
on lifting the lid. he discovered a five
dollar bill In stage money.
AS bravely as he could he faced the
storm Of laughter and jeering remarks
which followed. but not until he
caught sight of Howell at the other
