How Betty Got Past It
Continued from page
Continued from page s

A ND then the other mornin as was openin'
the mail. out tumbleS a check for the two
hundred, with Miss Bristows name signed to it.
Also there's note sayin how much obliged
she is, and wouldn't my friend Pinckney and
me be up at the same place again soon, say
friday She has an exhibit she'd like to
show us.
gets Pinckney on the phone, tells him the
glad news, and asks him how about it. Sure
he'll go. SO about twelve-thirty we drifts into
the palm room once more. And say, we could
make out Miss Betty Bristow, all right. She's
the same as ever, except that she has on a lit
tie di. rent costume. But who's the Senator
gent and the SorosiS president she has with
her? What! Can that be the Prune King,
with the Carnegie cut to his whiskers and black
frock coat that fits on both shoulders? 1t
But that sure amt mother in the cute little
fur lid, with her gray hair pulled out behind
and wearin enc of these new hipless skirts?
B'gum, it is! And look at the fancy grub two
walters is hustlin' on with Also spot the bottle
that's pee1lin' out of the silver ice bucket!
Looks like the Prune King was gettin'
somewhere up to first speed, don't it?
says l. And Pinckney admits that it does
WHEN Miss Bristow sees us she gives us the
happy wave, and pretty soon she floats
over to deliver the details.
"Oh, yes" says she, they're getting along
nicely. He has had his name put up at two
clubs, hired motor cab by the month, and
taken an opera box for two nights week.
He's to make speech at the annual banquet
of the California Society next week. Mother?
Oh, I've got her in at the Colony Club, picked
out a thoroughly trained maid for her, inter
ested her in flower mission, and had her open
charge accounts at six stores. They're as
happy as two children, and don't dare tell you
the size of the advance fee got for the first
month.
But this is only start, you know. Wait
until you see some of the other clients I've
picked up, especially the salmon packers
family from Seattle,-three sweet girls who
are having just the time of their lives. And
say. I'm even with Miss Dossiter. She sent
for me to come back. But will l ever forget
how bully you were to grubstake me? Never!
By-by now, for I'm fearfully rushed; but we
must have little dinner some day, just to
celebrate
And the next minute she's back he1pin' the
Prune King read a lzz label to see that the
wine steward has sent up the right vintage.
We'll, well!' says Pinckney. How inter
esting!'
And then again some, says l. "Siss boom

Committed to Hospital for Insane.

Miss Emma McQullken, who re.
sides in the town of -. Adams, about
three quarters of mile from Hart.
and village, was taken 70 Augusta
last week and committed TO the in.
sane hospital. Miss McQuiiken hat
been mentally deranged foS year, and
last summer was arrested al Lewiston
where she was employed in mills on
the charge of sending illegal matter
through the mail. After hearing
she was discharged because Of hei
condition and since then she has been
at her small farm a part Of the time
the rest of the time being supposedly
employed in factories in Maine cities.
Since June Miss McQuilken has been
occupying her house here and har-
vested her hay without help, although
the several acres which she possessed
yielded but small crop. She has
kept busily employed about the place,
but has seemed much worse mentally
and last Monday morning at an early
hour appeared at the home of Select
man W. o. Hilton in ST. Adams in a
very wild state. Accordingly Mr.
Hilton notified Deputy Sheriff W. O.
Bigelow and ne summoned her TO APP
pear in ST. Adams Wednesday morn
ing for hearing. She failed TO appear
at the appointed hour and Sheriff
Bigelow being unable TO locate her at
her house where he went 70 find her.
SUNNI oned Mr. Hilton 20 his assist
ance and the two men finally found
her concealed in a clever hiding place
close TO the partition and which the
average person would not notice. 1t
was some time before she could be in.
i
firearms were discharged twice by
the officials before she would give
herself up.
The hearing was then postponed
until two O'Clock p. m. and a close
watch in the meantime was kept upon
the woman. At the hearing, Drs. S.
II. Blanchard and Charles A Moulton,
being present as examining physicians.
Miss McQuilken presented a very
marked type of insanity and she was
adjudjed insane and ordered commit
ted. She was taken to the Hartland
house for keeping over night by Sher-
if Bigelow, and Selectmen w. O. Hill
ton and F. n. Vining of st. Adams ac-
companied her to Augusta Thursday.
The house where the unfortunate
woman lived is only partly finished
and contained but little furniture.
All her valuables were concealed with
herself in the small closet which was
very cunningly arranged with a slid
ing door in the front as not to be no.
ticable. The comforts of life were
scarce and there was hardly any food
in the house. The house itself was in
a filthy condition and showed many
of the vagaries of a deranged mind
Miss McQuilken is thought to be in
fairly well-to-do condition fnan-
cially and while she has made no
friends here, she has relatives in
Scion, At the time of her capture
she had $50 on her person, and claims
to have sent 500 TO India for mission
work.
The case was sad and pitiful one,
but the people of Hartland and St. AL
bans are much relieved at her remov-
al to Augusta. Miss McQuilken is
thought to be about So years of age.

Recaptured.

On Sunday last prisoner by the
name of James WEIGH escaped from
Somerset Jail by mingling with the
members of the Salvation Army as
they passed out, at the close of their
regular Sunday service. His absence
was soon discovered and officials
elsewhere were notified. MONDAY
morning man wearing a straw hat
and dark suit of clothes and other
wise according with the description
given of WEIGH was aecosted by
Deputy Marshall Toulouse of Water
vile, near the police station in that
city. Quite to the surprise of Mar
shall Toulouse the man replied that
his name was WEIGH and that he had
just come from Skowhegan. He ad-
mitted that he had recently been in
Jail here but boldly affirmed that he
had secured bail and had been releas
ed. This story was at once discredit-
ed and he was subsequently returned
to the jail here.
WEIGH is under Indictment on
charge of having placed distractions
on the tracks of the Maine Central
Railway, near Shawmut, and will be
tried at the September term of the S.
j. Court. Just why he should have
chosen to go to Waterville, where it
@ofv 4
meet some officer that knew him. and
especially why he should seek the
locality of the police station, is a
mystery. 1t is thought by the offici-
ais here that he may be subject to fits
of insanity.
In connection with the above it may
be mentioned that discoveries recent
ly made by Sheriff Smith have pre-
vented a break which might have
liberated all the prisoners in the Jail.
While making an examination last
Sunday, Mr.. Smith found secreted
under the steel work of the cells, a
case knife which had been roughened
on the edge SO as to serve as a saw.
This led to most searching examin-
ton of every part of the building and
it was found that one of the bars In a
window facing the railroad yard, on
the second floor, had been cut par
italy off. The work had been very
cleverly concealed by filling the mark
of the saw with soap, SO colored with
iron rust or other matter that only
the closest observation would dete ct
it. There was also wire in the steel
box, which protects the locking me
chanism of the cell section. 1t had
evidently been planed to open the
cells and liberate the prisoners in
them as soon as the balance of the bar
could be cut off. After their plan had
been frustrated, the men concerned
in it confessed to most of its details.

Meeting of the Somerset Pomona.

The regular August meeting went
to East Madison and convened with
that grange, Tuesday, August IL.
Delegations were present from all the
surrounding subordinate oranges and
all the officers occupied their stations
except the treasurer. After the rou-
tine of business was transacted Perley
E. Priest, master of East Madison
grange, gave a welcome to the visit
ing members of the Pomona and
Vesta A. Withee was called upon to
respond to the welcome.
The subjects for debate were con-
nected with housekeeping, carrying
on the farm interests and our state
county and municipal expenditures.
These questions opened up a wide
field for discussion and many of our
accustomed grange speakers were on
hand to take a part with some new
ones added. Those who enlivened
the session in debate were w. G.
Hobart, G. H. Gardner, G. II. Foster,
L. L. Smith, r. ". French, D. B.
Hobart, Sydney Baker, M. G. Baker,
r. D. Salley, A. F. Donigan, s. F.
Emerson, Alonzo Smith, Geo. Foster,
F. E. Davis, l.. c. Jewett, Mrs. Y. A.
Withee, Mrs. c. A. Gardner, Mrs. S.
+. Emerson and Hattie Clement.
When it came to public expendi-
lures there was a marked expression
of dissatisfaction at the trend OF
events. The speakers were quite
unanimous in denouncing the in
crease of salaries, the creating of new
officers with salaries and clerks and
assistants attached and the general
way of spending the public funds.
1t is conceded and expected that as
the State increases in wealth and
population there will be correspond
ing increase in the call for appropria-
tions, but it is a matter that should be
earnestly considered by all when the
State doubles its appropriations in
side of twelve years and SO many
cities and towns are trying to keep
step to the same music. The tax
payers should have something to say
and they had the opportunity to be
heard at this session of the Pomona.
Under the auspices of East Mad
ison grange the session was favored al
intervals with music, duets, songs and
selections in reading
4 class of ten was instructed in the
Fifth degree and admitted into the
Pomona.
Next meeting with Sandy River
grange, Mercer, Tuesday Sept. s.
