inches deep. It is eight inches wider
and five inches deeper than the ordin-
airy casket.

Miss Weaver had been in the hos
pital for several months, having been
removed there last fall by Sheriff
Linus Meredith. Mr.. Meredith had
considerable trouble in getting her to
the institution owing to her size and
had to secure spring wagon. after
failing to get her In the ordinary siz-
ed buggy. She was not violent at any
time. 1t is understood that insanity
was the result OF her enormous
weight.
She had been III for some time and
death was due to. heart trouble. She
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Weaver living north of the city
on the Union pike. She had resided
with her parents until her removal to

SMALL ONE.

A tenant house on the farm of Ed

ground last evening as result Of the
work of some incendiary, probably
tramps. The house was unoccupied

when the fire was discovered.
1t is not known by Mr.. Morrow how
the fire started but about nine o'clock

is believed however by neighbors in
this vicinity that tramps were the
cause as 1t had been occupied fire.

Lord Beresford's wiz.

The Emerald Isle is proud of Charlie
Beresford and Charlie is proud of his
native land and country. Irishmen
may have their faults" he says, but
give me an Irishman-the best fellow
that ever was Could anybody tell
more stories than the Irish?"
One of the best stories he ever
heard was about a fellow who was
very fond of shooting. He said: The
first bird l ever shot was a squirrel,
and the first time 1 hit him l missed
him altogether. and the next time 1
hit him l took a stone and dropped him
from the tree, and he fell into the
water and was shot, and that was the
first bird l ever shot"
And Lord Charles is never tired of
quoting the story of the Irish member
Of the house of commons who compared
a certain whisky to a "torchlight pro-

Almost unconsciously he moved a
little closer so as to observe her
better. A chord in his memory seemed
to have been touched. Surely he had
seen her somewhere before. When
and where could 1t have been? Not on
the stage or in picture, he felt GER
tain. He thought long and earnestly.
but the riddle remained unsolved.
Then by different channels his mind
travelled back through the years, to
the home of his boyhood, the little
village, the river he used to swim in
and his farewell to Chelsea.
And at this point memory supplied
the missing link. It was she-Lucy
Mayburn-the same little girl he had
loved so long ago. He unused on,
thinking tenderly Of the night he left
for the great city, when he kissed her
good-by and promised some day to

face under the starlight of his last
hours at home. A mist obscured his
vision and something suspiciOusly like
a sob fingered in his throat Ten
years had passed How quickly one
forgets, and sacred promises are
broken, while youthful affection dies
in the cold atmosphere of the struggle
for fame and riches. A nameless long
ing oppressed him. How he wished
he could talk to her. Perhaps through
the baby he might manage it.
The child responded to an invita-
ton to come and hear his watch tick
No persuasion was needed to keep
her on his knee, for she was easily
amused. Presently the warm at

of the train, exercised a soothing eff

it with a zest which would have aston

mothers offer to relieve him of his
burden he returned a hasty negative
and begged to be allowed the pleasure
of retaining his charge. She had
turned to converse with the stranger
who manifested such admiration of
her child, and they discussed the
sleeping beauty exhaustively, from
her dimpIed face to the dress and

As the train rolled steadily on its
way, Horace Leith leaned upon the
car window sill gazing out upon the
New England landscape. There was
nothing particularly attractive in the
prospect. but 1t was many years since
he had taken this route which led to
his old village home Of Chelsea, and
he was endeavoring to recall certain
features of the journey which had
once been familiar. 1t was a far cry
from those old days to the present,
when he had gained recognition as a
successful business man in New York.
Suddenly his musings were inter
rupted by a jerk of the car and the
sharp call of the brakeman for another
station. He turned around and watched
the passengers who were entering and
leaving the car. A slight woman
with a baby in her arms, attired in
black, took the seat directly in front
of him and drew his attention for
moment The train started again. and
he leaned back in his former position.
Presently the baby climbed back on
the seat, in one hand a rubber doll and
the other clutching the plush cushion.
In her efforts to attract Leith's atten-
ton the doll fell to the floor and two
red little lips issued an imperious
command:
Man, get baby's doll" she hsped,
and Leith, reaching down, obeyed the
mandate When he returned the doll
the owner smiled rapturously. She
was a very attractive child and Leith
