You Can Get Plot in Regular Gem
etery for From $40 to $50.
The home and cemetery for ami
mails in Westchester county which
was started in the summer Of 1906 has
proved that there are enough persons
Whereabouts who wish to give their
pets decent burial to make such an in
stitution pay. London and Paris
found it out years ago.
1t will not only bury your cat or
dog In decent and orderly manner,
but will furnish it with comfortable
home in its declining years. There Is
always a good number of decrepit
horses and cats and dogs waiting
peacefully for the end in pleasant sur
roundings, and in the cemetery are
hundreds of small headstopes mark
ing the last resting place of those who
have passed on to the happy hunting
grounds or whatever is the animal
equivalent for heaven. No animals
deserving Of the other place are ad.
mitted.
It's a regular cemetery, conducted
with as much ceremony as if it were
intended for human bodies. You can
get plots of assorted shapes and sizes
and at assorted prices.
A burial in a single grave in one
| section costs SO on a three years
lease; in another SIS on a five W: RS
lease. Then there are plots wlict
lease for five years at $40 and s25
and larger plots which you can get fol
ten years for $40 and $50. The toI
| price of all is $50.
The company will not sell plot
outright. It will care for a plot and
the graves IN it without extra charge
for the term Of the lease, and afte1
! the lease has expired the grave:
can be kept in order upon payment O
| a small amount annually or for moth
ing il ornamental headstones or man
uments have been erected.

CHAPTER XVII.

The jaded and weary man plodded
heavily along the dusty road. A chill
wind blew keenly between the hedge
rows, and night had fallen with un-
usual blackness, unrelieved by any
heavenly light, nor, in this primitive
byway. was there welcome glimmer
of lamp or the comforting reflection
OF wayside inn.
But as the man forced himself
steadily along he welcomed the dark;
moss that enshrouded him with the
satisfaction Of guilty spirit stunning
the light of day. Unshaven, unwash-
ed, dusty, and mud-stained, with the
hunted look of the fugitive criminal
and the reflection of apprehensive ter
ror in his eyes, 1t was hard to recog-
nize in the shabby wayfarer the once
smart and debonair Montagu Winton.
With the promptings of guilty
mind, and inspired by well-founded
terror of Joe Drawn, he had crept out
of Leeds like thief in the night, and
for three days, by devious paths and
unfrequented byways, he had plodded
steadily toward Nottingham. Although
he had ample money in his pocket, he
shrank from the publicity of a railway
station, nor did he seek lodgings at
the close of day. Speaking to no one,
snatching few hours sleep in what
! ever shelter he could find, he wander
ed on, unaccompanied save by the
| black thoughts of his own mind.
And with three days of constant
]brooding over the gravity Of his posi-
ton his guilty conscience had magni-
/ fed a hundredfold the perils with
| which he was encompassed. Like
many man of criminal instincts, he
was a COZ ard at al heart when the con.
1 sequences Of his guilt threatened to
| overwheim him, and now every labor.
err he passed on the road and every
4 vehicle coming In the distance In
spired hin, with q nameless dread,
"a few more miles and shall be
