sistance and interest on the part of the people, the time may come when the disease will be thoroughly stamped out that we need have no fear of it. At present, however, it is the most prevalent and fatal disease Known to man. The insiduous man. ner in which it attacks the indiviu- ual makes it possible for the disease to gain serious headway before it is recognized and properly treated. It should be understood that the worK of the dispensary and the visiting nurse is directed in behalf of those who are too far advanced in the disease to gain admission to any of
 ne sanatoria and too poor to employ the services of trained nurses and physicians. Any one wishing to con- tribute their services or money to this worthy cause can do so by con- municating with Mrs L. T. Warner, 61 Broad street, Bridgeport, Conn.,, who is the treasurer of the Visiting Nurse Association. Will not all the
 women in the country aid in help ing along the necessary work?

c. B. TAYL0R's BIRTHDAY PICNIC
A Royal Good Time and Some Fast
 Ball Playing.

About 40 people attended thepleas.
 ant reunion at C. Il. Taylor's picnic
 at D. c. Bac0n's grove on last Friday afternoon. The grove had all been arranged by the thoughtful MT Bacon and laylor's picnic has long been
 looked upon as one of the most re-
 freshing, both to tho appetite and for an all round good time, that takes place in the old town of NewtOwn. At first there was the dinner, served at 1 o'clock. Taylor and Morris were
 the chefs and had the clans, sweet corn and sweet potatoes done to q "T," and when mixed with the other good things that the housewife knows
 how to make so well, it was all that could be desired. After dinner the
 ladies visited, and men played the old. familiar game of baseball. Tay- Tor, Morris, Steele, Hubbard, Nettle- ton and Williams were on one side, while Phillips Morris, Wright, II. Wheeler, R. Wheeler, Lorien and Smith were on the other side. And such ball playing! When the score was computed it was found that Tay- lor's side was defeated by score of 36 to 39. A sad accident occurred when Taylor's glasses got mixed up with the ball that came for the side at the bat. His glasses were not hurt in the least, for they were found nearDy, but his nose was fiercely bleeding and large mound was aft erwards found where his glasses ought to be. It was a sad mishap but the game was stopped but few min utes and then went on as merrily as before. The pitching of quoits was indulged in and when the party broke up they all said that Taylor's birthday and picnic was the the event of the season. The following guests were present: c. b. Taylor and fam fly, w. H. Hubbell and family, l.. c. Morris and family, MT and Mrs How ell Wright, MT and Mrs w. M. Rey- holds, II. w. Wheeler and family, Rev MT Steele and family, D. C.

A WORTHY CHARITY.


 Fairfield County Anti-TuEerculosis Association is made evident and is attracting some attention, the ques- tion is asked where the funds come from with which to pay such nurse It is tact that much of the work is technical in it's character and re- quires not only the general knowl- edge of nursing but a special knowl- edge of the care of those suffering from tuberculosis and the measures in vogue for the prevention Of the disease. In the person of Miss Fran ces Ladd, the association has an able, energetic and devoted employe. Miss Ladd is not only deeply interested in the worh from a professional point of view, but is an enthusiastic supporter of the modern methods of treatment of the disease and a firm | believer in the prevention of the spread of the disease as well. She is sympathetic and has the faculty of inspiring confidence in the minds of those who are dependent upon others for assistance and care. Already great deal of work has been done by this so-called friendly visitor" and practical results are Icing attained.
 This worA has been made possible through the efforts of a number of Bridgeport women who are inter- ested in church and charitable work. The possibilities of much good being accomplished in this connection were first recognized by Mrs Henry Hal, lam Tweedy, the wife of the kev H. H. Tweedy, former pastor of the South Congregational church, who has since removed to New Haven. She felt that the women of Bridge port might assist in the great cam paign against tuberculosis, so she summoneu a few of them to confer with committee from the Fairfield County Anti-Tuberculosis Associ- ation. This conference resulted in the eventual pledging of sufficient funds to pay for the services of trained nurse for a year. Follow 1 ing this a formal organization was established which is known as the Visiting Nurse Association. A nom- mating committee was elected and the association will hold a meeting early this fall, temporarily defering active work until cooler weather, at which time the officers of the associ- ation will ve elected. Among those contributing to the success of the work are as follows:
 First Congregational Ladies'
 Society, S25.00 Second Congregational Women's
 Benefcient Society, $39.00 Second Congregational Wednesday
 Worker Society, gs6O.00 Swedish West End church, $500 Hebrew Ladies Aid, 5000 Slum Workers, $500 Universalists church, S15.00 Wednesday Morning Art club, 5000 St Mary's Guild (Trinity
 church) s20.00 Ladies' Bridge club, $10.75 Directors Widows home 5000 Universalist church, $500 Individual gifts, $5O.75
 This is a work which not only the charitable associations of Bridge port should be interested in, but every man, woman and child in the country. In order to make the work a success, the association is in need of contributions and small amounts from the children are as acceptable in their proportion as larger amounts from grown people. This campaign is direted as much to the prevention of the disease as it = to the care of those who are afflicted and no one can tell who the next victim of the scourge may be. With proper as-

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens at Harvard where Col.
Rupert Winter, U. 8. A., visiting, saw the
suicide of young Mercer. He met Cary
Mercer, brother of the dead student.
Three years later, in Chicago, in 1905,
Col Winter overheard Cary Mercer APP
parently planning to kidnap Archie. the
coloners ward and to gain possession OF
Aunt Rebecca Winters millions. A Miss
Smith was mentioned. apparently as
conspirator. Winter unexpectedly met a
relative, Mrs. Millicent Melville, VINO
told him that his Aunt Rebecca, Archie
and the latter's nurse, Miss Janet smith,
were to leave for the west with the
colonel and Mrs. Melville. A great imam
cial magnate was aboard the train on
which Col Winter met his Aunt Rebec-
ca, Miss Smith and Archie. He set ms
orderly, Sergt. Haley, to watch over Cary
Mercer Col. Winter learned that the
financial magnate is Edwin S. keatcham
On approaching Cary Mercer, the colonel
was snubbed. Winter, aided by Arcnie,
cleverly frustrated a hold-up on the
train. TIe took a great liking to Miss
Smith despite her alleged connectlon
with the kidnapping plot, which he n ad
not yet revealed to his relatives. me
party arrived in San Francisco. 1t was
thought that there were big persons pc
hind the hold-up gang. Archie mysteri-
ously disappeared.

the number-find out if that auto left

and seven o'clock. Find out who were
in it. Find out where it is kept and
who owns it. Get H. Birdsall, Mer-
chants Exchange building, to send a

ready for you to give him from me;
he has sent me men before. Report
by telephone as soon as you know any
thing. If I'm not here, speak Spanish
and have them write 1t down. Be
back here tonight by ten, If you can,
yourself"
Haley dismissed, and his own ap-
petite for dinner effectually dispelled
by his report, Winter Joined his aunt.
Should he tell her his suspicious and
their ground? Wasn't he morally
obliged, now, to tell her? She was CO.
guardian with him of the boy. who, he
had no doubt, had been spirited away
by Mercer and his accomplice; and
hadn't she a right to any information
on the matter in his possession?
Reluctantly he admitted that she
did have such a right; and, he ad-
mitted further, being a man who never
cheated at solitaire, that his object in
keeping the talk of the two men
from her had not been so much the
desire to guard her nerves (which he
knew perfectly we'll were Of a robuster
fiber than those of most women 20
or 40 years younger than she); no, he
admitted 1t grimly, he had not so much
spared his aunt as Janet Smith; he
could not bear to direct suspicion to-
ward her. But how could he keep ST.
lent longer? Kicking this question
about in his mind, he spoiled the flavor
of his after-dinner cigar. although his
aunt graciously babe him smoke it in
her parlor.
And still Miss Smith had not re-
turned; really, 1t was only fair to he's
to have her present when he told his
story to his aunt; no, he was not grab
bling at any excuse for delay; II he
could watch that girls face while he
told his story he would-well, he
would have his mind settled one way
or another.
Here the telephone bell rang; the
manager informed Col. Winter that
Mrs. Wigglesworth had returned.
"Wigglesworth? What an extraor-
binary namei" cried Millicent when
the colonel shared his information.
Good old New England name; l
know some extremely nice Wiggles-
worths in Boston," Mrs. Winter
amended with touch Of hauteur; and.
at this moment. there came a knock
at the door.
There is all the difference in the
world between knocks; a knock as
often as not conveys most uninten-
tional hint in regard to the character
of the one behind the knuckles; and
often, also. the mood Of the knocker is
reflected in the sound which he makes.
Were there truth in this, one would
Judge that the person who knocked at
this moment must be woman, for the
knock was not loud. but almost timid-
Iy gentle; one might even guess that
she was agitated. for the tapping was
in hurried, uneven measure.

Success.

"He has achieved success who has
lived long. laughed often, and loved
much; who has gained the trust OF
pure women, the respect of intelligent
men, and the love of little children:
who has filed his niche and accom-
plished his task; who has left the
world better than he found it, whether
by an improved poppy. perfect poem.
or a rescued soul; who has never
lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
nor failed to express it; who has al
ways looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life
was an inspiration: whose memory
a benediction. bessie A. Stanley.

she'd got the cratur. Nor l wasn't
objectin', for I'm thinking therell be
something doin and the wimin is on,
convenient, thin times"
The colonel admitted that he shared
Haley's opinion. He questioned the
man infinitely about MERGERS conduct
on the train. 1t was absolutely COM
monplace If he had any connection
las the colonel had suspected) with
the bandits, he made no sign. He
sent no kilograms; he wrote no let
tiers; he made no acquaintance,
smoking his solitary cigar over a
newspaper. Indeed, absolutely the
only matter of note Of that were one)
was that he read so many newspapers
buying every different journal
vended. At San Francisco he got into
cab and Haley heard him give the
order: "To the st. Francis" Having
his wife and child with him, the ser
geant couldn't follow; but he went
around to the St. Francis later, and in
quired for Mr. Mercer, for whom he
had letter las was indeed the case
the colonel having provided him
with one), but no such name appeared
on the register. Invited to leave the
letter to await the gentleman's arrival,
Haley said that he was instructed to
give it to the gentleman himself;
therefore, he took it away with him.
He had carried it to all the other
hotels or boarding places in San Fran
cisco which he could find, aided great
ly thereto by a friend of his, formerly
in "the old -th," a sergeant, now sta
toned at the Preside. Thanks to
him, Haley could say definitely that
Mercer was not at any of the hotels
or more prominent boarding houses in
the city, at least under his own name.
And you haven't seen him since he
got into the cab at the station?' the
colonel summed up.
Haleys reply was unexpected:
yes, sor, seen him this day, in the
morning, in this same hotel"
"Where?"

Haley's information ended there. He
heard of Archie's disappearance with
his usual stolid mien, but his hands
slowly clenched. The colonel con
tinued:
