basely betrayed Harvard's passion to
the girl who shared his seat In the
dogcart.
"Its not you," explained Singleton,
with brutal frankness; "it's the picture
that he's In love with. I'll bet when he
sees what a plump and husky person
you've grown to be he'll decide to stick
to the picture"
There was much more to the same
effect, and so 1t came to pass that
when the introduction was accom-
plished on the Singleton porch and
Harvard guarded his expression from
any betraylng glance Of qualification
Miss Prescott decided that this man
who loved her picture and was disap-
pointed In the original was very un-
pleasant person whose presence at
Glenoak would make her vacation a
miserable one indeed.
Mrs Singleton endeavored tactfully
to counteract the effect of her sons
disclosures, but Mamie resented even
this well meant effort. 1t was lntolera-
BILE to her that they should suppose she
cared In the least what Mr.. Harvard
thought Of her.
II he was disappointed that the an
giles Of fourteen had rounded into the
curves of nineteen 1t was no concern
Of hers, and to show how little she
cared she devoted herself industriously
to snubbing poor Harvard at every
possible opportunity.
And Harvard. manlike, suffered
keenly from the treatment and went
about saying savage things to and of
Billy, and he looked no more than he
could help either at the picture or Miss
Prescott herself
SO matters continued for nearly a
month"; when a business letter gave
Harvard welcome excuse for quitting
the field OF defeat, He had longed to
retire, but he would not retreat igno-
miniously and without excuse.
He managed to slip away from the
house without being detected by his

Our Oldest Permanent City.

Albany, capital of the great Empire
State, claims to be the oldest perma-
nent settlement within the limits Of
our thirteen colonies, but has greater
historical significance on account Of Its
strategic Importance during the CEN
tury of conflict between the English
and French in America and in the
American Revolution. In 1924 Yer
razzano, a French navigator, sailed up
the Hudson, and about 1540 a French
trading post was set up near the pres
ent site of Albany. The continuous
history of the place dates from the
discovery of these regions by Henry
Hudson in 1909, who was followed by
Dutch traders, who in 1914 established
trading station on Castle island un-
der the name Of Fort Nassau. In 1864,
after the transfer Of New Netherlands
to the English, the name of Albany
was given to the settlement in honor

46g SHARES 0F SHOCK
QussIIen Brought Up Asals 10. ! = lsy h superior Court 7

Another chapter in the long story of the struggle for the 4os shares of stock of the Apothecaries Hail company was told in the superior court to-day before Judge William l.. Bennett of New Haven. It was told, as the appeal of Mrs Ella S.. and Samuel P. Williams from the order of the probate court, contend ing that the real estate of the of the late A. E. Rice, Mrs Williams father is incapable of division and to dis- tribute 1t therefore would be to de- preciate 1t. The realty in question consists of a frame house of twelve rooms on the corner of Grand and Field streets It was built by the late A. E. Rice forty-five years ago when that section was the residential part of the city. This property has been appraised at $20,000. The en- tire estate consists of the 409 shares of stock, worth, 1t Is said, $100, 1000, furniture appraised at $200, some cash, amount not specified and the realty mentioned. The appeal from JHe UeCiSlOu CVuCeTuluB tu0 uistiA- button of the 409 shares of stock was exactly the same as the appeal in this matter, that the stock was not capable of division and should be sold. The supreme. court held otherwise. As in that case, Mir and Mrs Williams. want the realty and furniture sold and the proceeds di- vided.
 After MT Williams had testified to the value of the realty and that, great changes are contemplated on Grand street which will greatly raise the value of the property, he resum- ed his seat. The court then asked If distribution had not been decreed by the will and if the administrator had not accounted for the piece of realty in question and being an- swered in the affirmative he asked counsel for the state what he had to say Whereupon counsel said the court had taken the wind out of his sails by his question. The argu- ments were then made and the court reserved decision.

 Utica, Oct 13.-An order just is- sued by the postmaster-general at Washington to the postmaster at Der rick, N. Y., to turn over all business to the postmaster at Bay Pond, thus putting out of existence the Derrick postofffce, has created considerable discussion and indignation in the sec tion of the Adirondacks affected. The twenty-eight families at Derrick do not view with pleasure the prospect of being required to walk through several feet of snow seven miles to Bay Pond and then back in order to receive and send their mail.
 Bay Pond is the postoffiee name of the former village of Brandon and is in the private park of William Rockefeller, brother of John D. In order to reach the Bay Pond post office 1t Is said to be necessary to cross MT Rockefeller's private park, an act which subjects the offender to a fine of $25 for each offense. Only one family lives at Bay Pond. Peti- tions have been forwarded to the postofice department.

MOVE TO SAVE THE LOBSTER.
Conference to Plan Means to Con.
 Conserve Natural Resources.

Boston, Oct 13.-The governors of all New England states met here Sat urday and decided upon the pro gramme for the coming conference on promotion of New England's inter- ests and preservation of her resources.
 The topics for the conference wfil be tree planting, production of she'll fish, state highways and regulation and taxation of automobiles.
 It has been discovered that wide differences exist among the state laws of New England in regard to she'll fish. particularly Holsters. The diff ferences will be made clear and ex- perts of international reputation will be asked to propose a uniform policy for the retention and exten- sion of this source of food supply.
