John turned out the light, and while
they waited for the elevator to come up
for them Wary jingled the coins and
keys in his pockets before he blurted :
Il say, John, I'm an underbred, low
person, and am not worthy to be called
thy friend. and you may hate me all you
like, but one thing I'd like to know. Did
she say anything about me when you
passed US this afternoon-make any COM
ment or anything? You know l despise
myself for asking, but"
Saxton laughed quietly.
Yes she did; but l don't know that
I ought to tell you. 1t was really en-
couraging. She said Miss Margave
has lot of style; don't you think so?' "
rs that all?' demanded Rardan step
ping into the car.
That's all. 1t wasn't very much but
1t was the way she said it; and as she
said it she brushed a fly from the horse
with the whip, and she did it very care
fully"
In the corridor below they met Whea-
ton coming out of the side door Of the
bank. He had been at work, he said
Raridan asked him to go with them to
the club for a game of billiards, but he
pleaded weariness and said he was going
to bed.
The three men walked up Varney street
together. They were men of widely diff
ferent antecedents and qualities. Cir
cumstances, in themselves natural and
harmless, had brought them together. The
lives of all three were to be influenced
by the weakness of one, and one womans
life was to be profoundly affected by con-
tact with all of them. Ii is not ordained
for us to know whether those we touch
hands WITH and even break bread with,
from day to day, are to bring us good or
evil. The electric light reveals nothing
IN the sibyfs book which was not dis
closed of old to those who pondered the
mysteries by starlight and rushlight
Wheaton left them at the club door and
went on to The Bachelors which was
only step farther up the street.
How do you like Wheaton by this
time?" asked Raridan, as they entered
the club.
II hardly know how to answer that"
Saxtor answered. He's treated me we'll
enough. 1t seems to me I'm always try
ing to find some reason for not liking him,
but l can't put my hand on anything
tangible"
That's the way l feel" said Raridan
hanging up his coat in the billiard room.
He's rigid. some way. There's no let-go
in him. l guess the law allows us to
dislike some people just on general prin-
ciples, and Jim likes himself so well that
you and | don't matter"

everybody seems to be enjoying the

The Christmas tree at the church
was a success. and the house was
packed with people. There were two
trees which were loaded with pres
ents. The decorations were the fin
est ever had in this part of the
country. There was also a program
that lasted about an hour and a
half. The people appreciated the la
Dor of both the decorating and the
program commit ees. They certainly
put in lots of time, and the children
were all glad to see Santa once
more as he is always such a jolly
old fellow.
Everybody reports having had a
nice time at the Christmas dance at
Mr.. Walls last night.
The ferry boat at Troy has been
washed upon the shore by the floating
ice coming down the river and is
now useless as far as crossing is
concerned. Mr. Bel. the mail carrier,
has quite a time crossing with the
mail now. We are in hopes that the
river will not rise any more, as he
has to ford with the mail and if it
should rise it would be impossible for
him TO get across.

army arrived in Harrisburg Sunday
night and Suesday morning went be
fore Adjutant General Stewart to re
cieve their appointment for instruc-
tion stations. An appropriation was
passed by the last congress for the
sending of experienced men to differ
net parts of the conutry to instruct the
State militia i'll the drills and regUla-
tions of the regular army. At any
time of emergency the president can
call them into service without the con
sent of the governor of the State. All
troops have to be fully armed and
equipped with knowledge of the rules
and regulations of the regular army
by January 21, 1910. Any person who
is in the militia and does not pass the
government examination will be dis
missed. The State troops will be
known as the Organized Militia under

FOR FAST DRIVING.

Chief Mincemoyer since the night of
the 14th inst. has been very busy in
bringing an individual to justice for
violating the borough ordinance by
fast driving on North Mill street.
The man escaped arrest in Danvile,
but was later located i'll Northumber-
land. The chief of police went to the
latter town and placed the man under
arrest. \ time was fixed for Il hearing
before Justice Oglesby, in this city,
but the Northumberland man failed to
put i'll an appearance at the time set.
To bring the man to justice the chief
of-police was obliged to make a second
trip to Northumberland Monday.
The man sought, realizing that he had
forfeited all claim to leniency decided
to settle with the officer forthwith.

without the formality of hearing. 1t
is hardly fair example of justice, as
the chief f-police in the single case
was put to more trouble than should
have been entailed in making two ar
rests.

ARRESTED FOR
HORSE STEALING

John E. Everitt of Vicksburg, near
Milton, was arraigned before Justice
of the Peace Oglesby Tuesday after
noon charged with stealing horse.
All the facts when brought out show
ed that it was not case of horse
thieving in the generally accepted
sense of that term but that the defend
ant, whether acting within his rights
or not, re-possessed himself of a horse,
which he had sold on time some months
before.
The prosecutor III the case is James
f. Schell of Limestone township. 1t
bought horse of John Everitt for
5000 and in payment gave Il judgment
exemption note for ninety days. When
the note became due Mr. Schell sent
to the defendant new note for $3.50
and check for S26. The check fo1 S26,
it is alleged, the defendant accepted.
On the night of October 18th the horse
was surreptitiously taken from the
barn ON Mr.. Schell's premises.
The arrest of Everitt followed. The
information lodged before Justice
Oglesby represents that John E.
Everitt on the 18th day of October,
1909, ont of the barn on the premises
of James S. Schell did feloniously
steal take and carry away one bay
mare of the value of $2O3. -
Chief of Police Mincemoyer ON Tues
day of last week went over to Nicks-
burg for the purpose of arresting Mr..
Everitt. The latter was not at home,
however, and the officer left the war
rant in the hands of the constable of
the place, who later served it. The de-
fendant entered bail for hearing be-
fore Justice Oglesby.
Accompanied by his father, Samuel
Everitt, one of the leading residents
of Nicksburg, he was on hand at the
appointed time , 80 O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon. At the hearing Mr.. Everitt
was represented by Edward 5. Gear
hart, Esq. Hon. h. S. zimmerman ap-
peared for the prosecutor.
The defendant was bound over TO
court in the sum of $500, Samuel
Schell, the father, becoming bondsman.

MAY SPLIT REGIMENT

The possibility that the Twelfth
regiment may be split up again is a
prospect by no means pleasing to the
members of the national guard in this
city.
Considerable speculation is being in
dulged in regarding the fate of the
Twelfth regiment in the reorganiza.
tion of the national guard 1t is be.
lieved to be probable that the Eighth
will be preserved intact, but that the
Twelfth will be split, some of it's COM
panies going into the Fourth or Ninth
and some into the Eighth.
1t is also possible that the Fourth
may undergo some changes, The Fifth
regiment. which is like the Eighth not
IA twelve company regiment, may alsc
be changed.
