CHAPTER l.
THE LATE MIR. sKAGGs.

THE LATE MIR. eKAGGs
 0HE death of Taswell Skaggs was stimulating. to say the least. in- applicable though the express - sion may seem.- He attained the end of hale old age by tumbling aimlessly into the mouth of crater on the island of Japat, somewhere in the mysterious south seas. The world had quite thoroughly forgotten hin during the twenty odd years immediately pre- ceding his death. 1t was. however, noticeably worth while 10 remember him at this particular time. He left a last will and testament that bade fair to distress as we'll as startle a great many people on both sides of the Atlantic.
 In Boston the law firm of Bowen X Hare was puzzling itself beyond reason in the effort to anticipate and circum- vent the plans of the firm of Bosworth, Newnes X Grapewin, London. F. c., while on the other side of the Atlantic Messrs BoSworth. Newnes X Grape win were blindly struggling to do pre- oisely the same thing in relation to Messrs. Bowen & Hare.
 Without seeking 10 further involve myself l shall at once conduct the reader to the nearest of these law of fees.
 Pretty badly tangled. l declare. said Mir. Hare. staring helplessly at his senior partner.
 "Hopelessly." agreed Mir Bowen. very much as if he had at first intend ed 10 grOan.
 Before them on the table lay the con tents of bulky envelope, a iong and stupendous letter from their London correspondents and with it copy of Taswell Skaggs' will Mir. Bowen re- gently had been named as joint execu- tor of the will. together with Sir John AllencrOmbie of London, w. C.. one time neighbor of the late Mir. Skaggs. A long and exasperating cablegram had touched somewhat irresolutely upon the terms of the will, besides notifying him that one of the heirs re- sided in Boston. He was instructed to apprise this young man of his good fortune.
 There was one very important, per haps imposing. feature in connection with the old gentleman's will-he was decidedly sound of mind and body when it was uttered
 When such assume lawyers as Bowen & Hare give up to amaZement, the usual forerunner of consternation. it is high time to regard the case as star tling

records of the inebriate's asylum are to be credited His wife. after endur- ing him for sixteen years, secured a divorce. Accepting the world as his home, he ventured forth to visit every nook and cranny Of it. In course of time he came upon his old time neighbor and boyhood friend. Taswell Skaggs, in the city of Shanghai. Nei- ther of them had seen the British isles in two years or more.
 "'Ow do you known demanded Tas- well.

 As the outcome of this midnight proposition Taswell Skaggs and John Wyckholme arrived two months later at the tiny island of Japat, somewhere south of the Arabian sea. there to re- main until their dying days and there to accumulate the wealth which gave the first named chance to make an extraordinary will. For thirty years they lived on the island of Japat Wyckholme preceded Skaggs to the hls share of everything to his partner of thirty years' standing. But there was provlso In Wyckholme's be- quest, just as there was fin that of Skaggs Each had made his will some l fifteen years or more before death. and each had beaueathed his fortune to the survivor.

Leverty & Bro. the druggists, do not guarantee Parisian Sage to grow hair on every bald head, but if there is any life left in the roots of your hair Partisan Sage will stimulate the hair bulbs and cause your hair to grow again. Here is one case: .I am now using the second bottle of your Partisan Sage, and can notice a new growth of hair appearing. I am glad to say it is a darker color than my hair was before became bald.''- Harry Reid, 10 Manhattan St, Roch- ester, N. Y.

STIRLING GRANTED DIVORCE BY A
 SCOTTISH JUDGE

Especial from United Press0
 Edinburgh March 10.-JuGge Guth- rie, who presided in the notorious Stir ling divorce case, to-day handed down his decision granting John Alexander Stirling divorce on his cross petition. Mrs. Clara Elizabeth Stirling, formerly an actress of Washington, D. C., sued her husband for divorce, naming Mrs. Mabel Atherton, a famous English beauty, as correspondent. Stirling re- piled with a cross suit saying that his wife had been unduly intimate with Lord Northland. At the hearing of the case sensational. evidence was pro- duced which crowded tfie court room dialy and showed at least a very lax moral code among the section of Eng fish society which figured in the case.
 Under the Scotch law, Judge Guth- rie's decision goes into effect at once and Mrs. Stirling loses all title to her marriage settlement, while Stirling can claim life interest in his wife s property. Stirling was given the GUS tody of the only child.

news matter and it is handled in good shape. The advertisements all offer wonderful bargains for cash as do the advertisers in the Farmer of to-day.
 A copy of the Farmer of the date Of March 8, 1915, shows little change, ex- cept in the proprietors who were then Stiles Nichols & Son. The senior member of the firm was also engaged different kinds for curing almost all the ills of mankind. If the claims of the advertisements had any foun- dation disease would have long ago disappeared, but they exist to-day, and the same old assertions appear in the advertisements of modern cure-aIls.
 The war with Great Britain had ter- minated the month before and the Americans were forced to return the prizes taken by it's men of war and privateers after the treaty was sign ed. Napoleon had been sent to the Island of Elba and Europe was hag John A. Crocker had delivered a stir ring speech at the celebration which followed the signing Of the treaty of peace and which took place on Wash ington's Birthday in this city. This speech is printed in full
 March 10, 1919, also fell on Wednes- day. The Farmer was then printed by Stiles Nichols without partner to assist. The paper indicates that the town had grown in the six years since
  The columns are a little longer and there are more advertisements. The pa per is better printed, and the com position indicates that new type had been bought The local matter is confined to controversies in the form of communications signed by the au- thors. Some of these communications would not be allowed space in the Far mer of to-day. Others are curiosities in their way. One of the principal articles is an account of the duel be- tween Mccarthy and General Mason at Alexandria, during the month, be- fore in which the latter was killed by a ball from a nusket in the hands of his adversary, at ten paces. Mo Carthy first accepted the challenge of Gen Mason and chose that two kegs of powder should be procured and the combatants sit astride of them when they were exploded. This proposition was disallowed by the seconds as not being in accordance with the code.

March 10th fell on Wednesday in ISIS, as it does this year and an old file of the Republican Farmer of that date discloses other similarities. The Farmer was then weekly, published by Nichols & Bafnum. There are four pages of five columns each devoted to important news and advertisements, the latter mostly legal notices and pro- town were Simon Backus, Samuel Hodges Richard Hyde, Henry May, Caleb Beach, Charles E.. Hubbell & Co.,, David Lacey, Enoch Fsoote & Co.,, Bar mum Beach. Jesss Sterling, Harvey Page & Co.,, Sherman Beach and a few others, perhaps. who did not ad- yeftise but whose names are lost to posterity on that account .s-
 These merchants sold almost every thing needed at that period and the stocks almost always included a se- tect line of rum, brandy and wines President James Madison had been in augurated on Thursday of the week before and his address on that occa- sion is given in full.
 There are reports of the capture Of a good portion of Napoleon's grand army at Wilma; despatches from Lon don Berlin, Warsaw and other for efgn cities dated in December and Jan aary but news just the same because it was their grst appearance in print But there is not a line of local news The number is printed on hand made pa per apparently as SOOu as tne udy IL was printed There are no depart ments, no woman's page no sporting columns and no things about women's s chains and their rights to vote. In stead there are appeals to the patriot ism of the readers of the paper to support the government in the exist ing war with Great Britain On the first page appears a communication from Capt. Peter Bradley. 18th Regi- ment, U- S. Infantry, calling for vol unteers to apply at the rendezvous at Weston, Danbury or Norwalk. A dec- faration by the Prince Regent dis claiming all responsibility for the war follows the patriotic call. An ad- verffsement offers one dollar reward fer the return of a negro slave owned by Rnoch Foote. The slave, a mulat- to bey~12 years of age, ren- away to Harrison with his army was in Ohio on the eve of the western campaign. Altogether there is plenty of good
