at the old Carr homestead, the only
we'll dressed men to drop at Carrs-
Vile were drummers and advance
agents.
But though Frederick Waterbury
(they got the name from the reglSter)
arrived on the noon train, he made no
effort to see his customers, pro-
ceeding which surprised the hotel ha-
bitues greatly. Most drummers did,
the town and were out on the o:I9.
Waterbury, to the contrary, sta1d IN
his room all the afternoon, and it was
not until after supper that he made
his appearance at the bar, the only
lOunging room in the house.
For two or three days Waterbury
id1ed about the town, driving occa-
sionally, but for the most part hang

towns gossip.
Then he furnished real sensation.
He had taken title to the west side Of
Bailey's pond.
He's got it, sure enough" declar-
ed Hawkins u saw the papers. He's
got the old Bailey place and a strip
off the Mehan farm and ten acres from
the old Coon farm. That gives him
about two thirds Of the pond. Won't
the old Colonel be mad, though, when
he finds out? | know he wanted to
get the Bailey place for himself
Carrsville had been the home OF the
Carr family for a century and a quar-
ter. but Col. Cephas Carr was the only
one who had Jared we'll in worldly
goods. The whole township had be-
longed to the Carrs once, but now
the entire estate consisted OF some 40
acres.
Carr had sought to repurchase the
land about the little lake that had been
sold to pay the debts of his ancestors,
but his domineering ways had not
gained friends for him. His attitude
was more that Of feudal baron than
a distinguished tOWnsman, and so Wa
terbury had found his purchases easier
of accomplishment than he had ant1c1-
pated.
Carrsville, fully appreciative Of the
situation chuckled to itself and pray
ed that it might be there to see when
the Colonel heard the news.
Waterbury, whose frank, good ma
ture had made the whole town his
friends, was sitting on the baggage
truck when the train pulled IN. From
the forward end Of the train emerged
the Colonel tall, severe and stately.
His townsmen regarded him curl
ously, but they gasped when with a
start the Colonel paused in front of
Waterbury.
''What are you doing here?" he de-
manded imperiously.
Following your advice,'' - explained
Waterbury. "You suggested that L
was more ornamental than useful, SO
I've gone to work"
''And have selected Carrsville as the
narrow field for your somewhat limited
abilities?"
"Precisely. Small beginnings make
big endings," reminded the younger
man. I've taken the old Bailey farm
and am going in to raise fur"
ITO raise fur"
"Precisely. Muskrats, squirrels, per-
haps foxes and bullfrogs. OF course
the frogs are not fur bearing, but
there's a good market for their legs.
'On my pond?" The Colonel was in
credulous.
"On my two-thirds,'' corrected Wa
terbury ''If any Of the muskrats or
frogs get over on your side, just wade
out and chase them home"
Fresh sensation was found that even
ing in a telegram that was sent to
New York It may have been vi
olation of regulations, but the entire
town knew that the Colonel had wired:

According TO the information at hand

For that reason. il is understood that

Strikes Now Greater Menace than
Uprising Was Last Week.

Havana. Sept. 9o,-Cuba is at peace
with herself again so far as insurrection
is concerned, There is now no danger OF
a political outbreak. but the railway and
other strikes constitute a serious menace
to the island. Business is utterly par
alyzed now, principally on account Of the
strikes.

American here, who is a grandson Of the

that he has been operating in Cuba for
those who, for some unrevealed reason.
are interested in causing outbreaks.
II was at first thought that the con-
spiracy might have been an effort to
juggle the stock market, but there have
been no recent market operations TO sub
stantiate this view There is no question
that Gov. Magoon has his suspicious re-

police are trying TO verify.
