The pursuing Romeo had found himself
looking right into the eyes OF Lionei
Le;gh-eyes which flashed indignant hre
yet the fair haired gentleman continued
TO laugh boisterously.
What in the world brought you here
tonight? ~ asked Lionel suddenly. Are
you not engaged to Miss Jan Wilkinson,
who will have thirty thousand q year,
who loves you, and whom you Qua nor
meet this evening, although the poor chlld
appeared on the wall
Poor little thing! Well, TO tell you
the truth, im~pecuniosity is to blame Tor
the whole. You saw the state of my ex-
ehequer MT the Black Wolf last night,
after the dinner? Well, that state IS
not changed. / had relied on receiving
a check this very day, and ! received u
not. The postman passed-actualiy pass
ed the Black Wolf and left nothing With
in its ancient portals for man, woman or
child
but what do yon want with Miss
Wycherly?
Want the same as you dol want TO
marry her. Colonel Wycherly can give
his daughter estates to the value OF nlne-
ty thousand a year"
very possibly.

she addressed me as Mr.. Calthorpe.' Oh
it is the richest joke! Do you know
who I am, my dear fellow? Inc old.

And now Lionel remembered that when
he had met Miss Wycherly with MIR. Cal

by that gentleman's resemblance to some
one, though he could not tell whom

"She did, my dear fellow and 1t strikes

PREFERS JAIL TO BAIL.
Warner W. Stowe of Halifax viii Not
Let Friends Get Surety for Him.

Warner w. Stowe of Halifax, a well.to
do farmer, believes that confinement in
Jail Is preferable to liberty and the pur.
SUIT OF happiness when those privileges
place man under obligation TO his
friends. Mr. Stowe is confined in the
county jail at Newfane because he de.
cIined to accept the offer of friends TO be.
come surety for his appearance in court
lie wrote TO a Brattleboro lawyer yester.
day to look after his case, but steadfastly
asserted his intention not TO furnish bail
for his release from Jail A few days ago
\. A. Fairbanks OF Halifax bought a tim.
ber lot of Mervin A. Fairbanks. He
claims that shortly afterward he found
that Mr.. Stowe had broken into the close
and was cutting timber without permis-
SION. lie claims that he warned Mr..
Stowe to desist, but that the latter said
he would not stop until an officer stopped
hlm. A body writ was issued by Chase
q Daley of Brattleboro in an action of
trespass, and it was served upon Mr..
Stowe by Constable h. NJ. Chase of Whit.
lngham. The amount set up in the pro.
cess was sl5OO and bail in like amount
was demanded, on pain of confinement in
Jall, Mr. Stoves friends offered to put
up the necessary security, but Mr.. Stowe
declined to allow them to do so. and was
taken to Newfane jail. The case was
entered too late to be tried at the coming
term OF court, so Mr.. Stowe, apparently,
either will have to furnish bail or remain
in confinement until the April term of
court. The writ charges him with cut
ing down 800 hemlock trees. 800 beech
trees, 5O0 Eastwood trees and 500 maple
5rees; and with destroying building
worth 500.

conductor on the train running in the
evening from Springfield to Chicopee Falls

eight years ago and had home on Lex
ington avenue. When he took his pres
ent route, he moved to South Vernon and
sold his home in Springfield last spring.

Pine Camp, June Is, 1908
Editor CALIFORNIAN:
Company D arrived in camp June %
at 730 a. m, and proceeded to pitch
camp at once. By noon all canvas had
been raised, and all camp arrange
ments completed. This is perhaps one
OF the most beautiful camps that the
regiment has ever stayed in. The water
supply is excellent, sanitation perfect
and in fact it is the most model camp
ever established.
The usual sports are INDUCED in by
the boys, hazing recruits, and also send
ing the poor rookie on foolish errands
such as drawing pie checks, church
passes, and cleaning cobwebs out of the
dining hall Today a stable orderly was
sent to the stable for the Adiutant' S
horse and saddled up a mule.
Friday the New Jersey regiment ar
rived in camp, and yesterday New
Hampshire marched onto the grounds.
All these troops have a regimental band
so there is plenty of music to enliven
camp life. The oath infantry, colored,
the regiment that figured in the Browns
Vile riot in Texas, undoubtedly have the
best band in camp, forty pieces. A
soldier OF this outfit was murdered at
Big Bend, a small town a short way
from camp, Friday, and his body thrown
into the river, which created some ex
citement.
The Vermont regiment may break
camp July third, arriving home in timt
for the Fourth.
Papers sent were appreciated Dy The
boys, Everybody is alive.
