FIREBUG HAS CLOSE SHAVE AT AN EAST
 SIDE BARBER SHOP
so CLOSE TO DISCOVERY HE LEFT THE KEY IN THE DOOR
 WHEN HE VAMOOSED

For the fourth time within two years an attempt was made at 12:26 this morning to burn the one story frame building at 624-62S Pembroke street, owned by John McElroy and occupied by meat market and a barber shop. Each establishment has two fires to it's credit and this morning the indications were that the incendiary had not slip ped out of the back door of the bar bershop many minutes before the au- to chemical arrived. The f1remen found the key in the lock on the outside of the door and there was every tndica- tion that someone who carried a key to the place had tried to burn it. The floor was covered with kerosene, and an old mop and other things were sat- urated with oil to take up the fire.
 The McElroy family which resides at the rear of the store, in Hamilton St., heard their dog barking and they be- lieve the incendiary was scared away by the animal. Officer Flynn started to find the owner of the barber shop but the owner of the building did not know his name and all anyone could tell him was that the barber, who had an Italian name, had moved into Will lard street few days ago.
 sz Chief Mooney will, investigate the case although it is difficult to get evil dence in such cases.
 Early this morning Officer Flynn ar- rested Thomas SparanO the barber un- der suspicion of knowing something about the fire. He was held for in VestigatiOn.

 members of the association worked the greater part of the night preparing for the event. The hall was occupied by the D. A.

 Besides the usual display of all the different breeds of fowls there are some specia1fies which have never been seen in shows before. They are the product of nature assisted by individual selec- tion The boneless duck is one of the wonders. This freak is owned by C. A. Windsor of Stratf1eld. The beating of the heart and even the workings of her fertile brain can be readily discerned through the feathers. Then there is the aiiackless duck bred by George R. Hair and the rubber neck Automobile geese bred by J. H., Lord of Monroe. A good. squeeze on tba goose's neck pro- duces a hOnk which makes the specta- tor jump aside to dodge the imaginary machine. George Seltsam exhibits his siren rooster which gives a perfect inn ftation ofFthe auto-chemical answering call. Then there's a cat that cries in German and a rabbit with long tail, and rabbit cats and cat rabbits. Several exhibitors show double footed cats.

THROUGH

The final rupture came two years
after their marriage. Emily in re-

the unleashed emotion Of her being,
yet with no faltering in it. If
she stays I go.
Stephen Fair, harassed and be-
