The thickset man whom Larry had

You could buy a nice farm with

Larry, but at that moment Bates ran
toward us calling loudly.
They're coming across the lake,
sir" he reported. and instantly the
sheriff's head disappeared. and as we
ran toward the house we heard his
horse pounding down the road toward
ST. Agatha's.
THE law be damned. They don't in

responsibility to his maneuvers."
It was no time for discussion Of
motives. We ran across the meadow
past the water tower and down to the
boat-house. Far out on the lake we
saw half a dozen men approaching the
Glenarm grounds. They advanced
steadily over the light snow that lay
upon the ice, one man slightly in ad-
vance and evidently the leader.
TITS Morgan" exclaimed Bates.
"And there's Ferguson"
Larry chuckled and slapped his
thigh.

were now quite near, and there was no

them carried guns. the others re-

The detective plunged into one OF

a calamity that caused his comrades

Mrs. Louise Roberts Coy died at noon

therefore in the seth year Of her age.
Her family moved to Manchester in
1887 and nearly her whole life was
spent in this village.
For 81 years she was faithful mem
Der of the Congregational church, al
wrys deeply interested in its welfare,
and loyal TO its interests, and contri-
buting cheerfully TO its support. For
many years she was active in the work
of the Sunday school and an inspiring
teacher of classes of young ladies',
many of whom became themselves ac-
tive church workers. Inyouth she was
a sweet singer aud a musician of no
mean order. In age and feebleness her
love for good music and good books re-
manned the same, but her love for the
church was her absorbing passion. She
is survived by son, and large circle
of neces and nephews. The funeral
was held at the Congregational church
on Sunday afternoon, November lst,
and she was laid TO rest by the side Of
her husband whom she had survived
eight years. MS. n.
