to the farmer, that Bill Hawks and
his gang are IN the fair grounds. Tell
her to drive due north along the side
Of the wall and drive as fast as she

The farmer seemed 10 understand
perfectly and communicated Louis
words to Pearl.
While Louis was talking to the
farmer Lang saw Hawks calling his
gang together. Lang did not attempt
to escape rashly and thus call down
the gang upon his wagon, but so much
confidence did he have in Pearl that
he calmly waited for Hawks to show
his hand. trusting that In the mean
time Pearl would be enabled to carry
out his instructions.
From his position on horseback
Lang very plainly saw his brave wife
noun the seat OF the Judy wagon and
drive through the gate. turning the
team in the direction she was told to
do. Louis did not think so much Of
his treasure or his own life now as
he did OF the brave little woman he
called wife, whom he had learned to
love with all the ardor OF his impul-
sive nature. Lang in giving his or

LOBsTERs GAINING COURAGE.
The ToOthsome Crustacean Coming
 Back to Sound Waters.

Lobsters in Connecticut waters have been more plentiful this season than for six or eight years. The roa- son is not known. but 1t is a fact that Connecticut lobstermen have made better hauis than for several years past. and the season has been a decidedly prosperous one.
 Scarcity of Holsters began to be felt when the fortifications were erected at the entrance of Long Island Sound. The big guns firing had great deal to do with their ab- senee. The lobster is considered by men who have pursced the crusta- eean for years to be the most cow ardly of shell fish. They say the slightest commotioE will cause ft to run. and the traveiing ability of the lobster Is unQuestionsbly great.
 The sound of the discharge of one of the big guns is calculated to scare most any fish. but the lotstermen say the lobster gets away from the local ity of the forts faster than anything else. There is apparently no other reason for the disappearance of the fish.
 Whatever was the cause of lob sters coming back into the Sound this summer is g mystery. There has been nothing to tempt them and the firing continued up to the middle of July. This month. however, lobster men have been greeted by fairly good catches.
