the place.
Entrance to the store was effected bv
breaking pane of glass in one of the
end windows and taking out the stick
winch fastened the window. Another
window was also tried "a pane of glass
having been broken. but for some rea-
son or other the attempt to enter by
tllis other window was abandoned.
The window, through which the en-
trance was made was directly under
tie rays of a bright electric light.

the goods which they desired without
touching any others When they had
secured their plumber the burglars
walked Eoldiy. out through the front

Mr.. Baker when he drove by the store

Return Game Today With Winners.

The local football team will play the
Winners Of Gardiner return game on
the Muster field this afternoon
Though defeated at Gardiner Thurs
day, the Hallowell boys have great
hopes of turning the tables on their
opponents today. Their defeat at
Gardiner may be attributed to the alb
sence of the regular quarterback and
the teams unfamiliarty with their new
signals. However. Douglass will lie
back in his old position as quarterback
today and with dry field the team
may reasonably hope for victory.

An hour and a half later Miss Caring

An elderly man. with a long white
beard and mustache, in a black velvet
coat. sat with his back to the light, play
ing the violin. His face, seen in repose,
was clear cut and handsome, in spite of
the deep lines that time and perhaps
many cares had traced upon it; but his
eyes were cast down, as though in deep
meditation, an habitual action, for Mr..
Moore had been blind half his life.
He was playing from memory an ex-
quisite fugue from Bach. The thin. some

precision, delicacy. a mastery knowl-
edge, that seemed surprising in his situa-
ton. Apparently he was lost himself IN
enjoyment of the sweet sounds that he
had conjured up in his darkness. for a
smile played round his lips as the har-
mony widened and vibrated, and his foot
softly moved as though in unison. In a
moment the fugue was ended and the bow
lowered.

The Reason why Women Talk.

Many attempts have been made by
scientists to explain why it is that
women the world over are more talka-
tive than men. One recent theory, we
recall, was that talk, through mouth
and throat, does not tire women as it
does men. A man wearieS after dis
coursing for awhile, but a woman can
chatter all day long and be as fresh as
when she started
However that may be, the reason
why women wish to talk more than
men wish to do so is stated by Father
Bernard Vaughn of London to be that
women must have many safety valves
and outlets for her temperament. She
is so high-strung and emotional that if
she did not talk she might be expected
to burst. Nature has provided the re-
lief she needs, has made her like to
talk, has made it easy for her There
fore, she talks, and it were vain to ex
pect to stop her, as it would obviously
be unwise and contrary to the great
scheme of things.
For the most extraordinary phenom-
ena in the world there is underneath
valid cause, if we can but find it
