Friday, awaiting inspection by insur- ance men.
 The Langworthy part of the building on the third floor was not occupied, but every room on the second floor is tenanted, and all either removed their effects or had them packed for re- moval as :. measure of precaution.
 While the British club is temporarily out of business by reason of fire, the Working Mems club on the Connecti- cut size of the Pawcatuck is doing bus mess as usual While there are some who criticise the txistence of the WorlSinsman's club and who speak harsh1y thereof upon every opportuni- ty. they are 10th to praise the really charitabl blc work of tine organization.
 Some time ago the head of a fam- fly named Richards, residing in Me- chsnic street. abandoned his wife and seven children, and members of the club have since aided the family in numerous ways, including clothing, food ane fuel. One evening this week the club appropriated t50 for tho aid of this neglected family. There are done by the Workinmens club that es- capes public mention.
 While charity is not included in the motto of the club the members indi- vi6uslly. and as an organization, have liberaally rendered aid to the deserv- ing poor of Pawcatuck and Westerly, and have aided in this line Of work the efforts of Alexander Smith, who re- gently resigned as city missionary.
 Some months ago Phebe Greene Ward Chapter, Daughters of the Ann erican Revolution, asked and was granted permission by the Westerly town council to place a memorial tab let in the Pawcatuck bridge, to mark the old ford. or Indian trail, although the old trail was located farther down the Pawcatuck river, at a point where the now old Bliven fish market is To- cated. in Main street. The Daughters subsequently, decided to place the tab let in the proper place, even if not so prominent as if one the bridge.
 Late Friday afternoon, and without cercmIny, a fine bronze tablet was placed on the front of the dilapidated fish market building. bearing this in- scription in Gothic letters that can be readily read from the opposite side of the street.

understanding with himself be turned
back toward his quarters. He knew
1t would be hard to give her up, but
he had irrevocably decided, and his
path began to unfold itself so clear
and straight that he marveled how he
could have failed to see it. He was
glad he had conquered, although the
pain was still sharp. He felt a better
man for 1t, and, wrapped in this COM
placent optimism, he passed close by
the front Of the traders store, where
Necia had crept to be alone with her
misery.
Burrell had almost passed her when
he was startled by the sound Of his
name breathed softly; then, to his
amazement, he saw her come forth
like a spirit into the silver sheer
"Necia," he cried, "what are you do
Ing here at this hour?" She looked up
at him sadly. He saw that her cheeks
e # wet, and something inside him
snapped and broke. Without a word
he took her in his arms, meeting her
lips In a long kiss, while she, trem-
bling with the joy Of his strong en-
brace, drew closer and closer and rest
ed her body YEARLY against his.
Little girl, little girl" he whispered
over and over, his tone conveying every
shade Of sympathy, love and under
standing she had craved. He knew
what had made her sad, and she knew
that he knew. There was no need for
words. The anguish Of this. long day
had whetted the edge of their desire.
and they were too deeply, too utterly
lost In the ecstasy Of meeting to care
for speech.
"Your lips cling so that I can't get
Free" sighed the girl at last.
"You never SHALL" he whispered.
But when she smiled up at him pite.

adr the door. "Ill settle with him now

way and, observing him gravely, con-
tinued in a tone that the other could
not disregard nor mistake:

promis' JUS now you dom get mad, an
1 don say she's Runnion neider wat
spik dose ting. Dere's more dan i'm
been talkin'. Is it true?'
His sternness offended Burrell, for
the soldier was not the kind to dis
cuss his affairs in this way; therefore
he drew back, scowling.
"Poleon Doret," he said, '1t's not
ones enemies who do him injury; it's
his ID fool friends. I have learn
ed to regard you highly, because you
are a brave man and an honest one,
but it seems that you are a sentimental
idiot"
"Dem is tough word" Doret replied.
"But dere's reason wy I can't TAX ON

The pause that followed was awk-
ward for both of them, while the girl,
who stood concealed near by, held her
breath and buried her nails in her
palms. Why did he hesitate? Would
he never speak?
II am amazed at myself for listening
to you," he said at last, and quite
shocked, in fact, at my answering your
questions, but perhaps I'd better, after
all. First, however. let me say that

In fact, ever since old Thomas had
come to him after leaving Necia and
had so cunningly shaped his talk that
Burrell never suspected his object n
til he perceived his position in such a
clear light that the young man looked
back upon his work with startled eyes.
The corporal had spoken garrulously
Of his officers family, of their pride
and Of their love for his profession;
had dwelt enthusiastically upon the
l~ieutenant's future and the length he
was sure to go and finally drifted into
the same story he had told Necia. Bur-
rell at last sensed the meaning of the
crafty old soldiers strategy and dis

had been accomplished.
When Burrell drove his reason with
firm hands he saw but one course to
follow, but when his mind went slack
for a moment the old desire to have
her returned more strongly than ever,
and he heard voices arguing, pleading,

Los ANGELES, March 11.-Mayor
Arthur C. Harper, around whom the
bitterest fight in the history of munich
pal politics in Los Angeles has been
raging since the movement to recall
him from office was begun, tonight
withdrew his name from the recall bal
lot, and few minutes later resigned
the office of mayor. Harpers action,
following closely that of Edward Kern,
Harper's appointee to the board of pub
lie works, who resigned three days
ago. caused a tremendous sensation
and has given rise to rumors that the
two officials were compelled to resign
rather than submit to further ex-
posure of supposed public or private

evidence win be produced in regard to
Mr.. Wake1eld,s conduct which viii
more than Justify a divorce. Mr.
stearns' statement is as follows:
WakefieId's Conduct Cause
Our firm has. been the attorneys for
the Seton family and for the late j.
w. Sefton for many years, and am
thoroughly familiar with all the facts
concerning this matter. The state
ments made by Mr.. Wakefield are abso-
lutely without foundation. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wakefield have been separated and
have been living apart for two and a
half years. The family of Mrs. Wake
field had nothing to do with this sep-
aration- 1t was brought about solely
by the conduct of Mr. Wakefield, and
he has no one but himself to blame
for the loss of the love and respect of
his WIFE,
1T is useless for him to talk about
a reconciliation. His own actions have
placed a reconciliation beyond the
bonds of possibility. Mrs. Wakefield
could never again live with man who
has deported himself in the manner
which Mr.. Wakefield has.
Seton Left No Will
His talk about the will of the late j.
w. Seton as being responsible for the
separation is on a par with his other
statements, Mr.. Wakefield says that
under this will his wife was to be dis
inherited unless she obtained a divorce
from him. Now the facts are that j.
W. Seton left no will at all and none
has ever been offered for probate or
ever will be offered for probate. His
estate was all disposed of prior to his
death. and in such disposition Mrs.
Wakefield occupied exactly the same
position as her brother, j. w. Sefton
Jr. There was no condition at all such
az obtaining. divorce imposed upon
her obtaining her share OF the estate.
Gift Talk Amusing
I'm regard TO the ranch or country
home in this county the truth is that
few years ago Mr.. Wakefield was
sorely in need of money and was MAX
ing desperate efforts to sell this ranch.
The late Mr.. Seton, to help Wakefield
out. stepped in and purchased the ranch
at the price Wakefield was asking for
it. and paid him cash for the property.
and the money derived from the sale
was subsequently lost by Wakefield in
the Beck Wakefield company Mr..
Wakefield,s trying now. to pose as .hav-
ing given this property to his wife is
very amusing to friends here who know
the facts.

Under Bitter Fire

Since the charges were first made
that Harper as mayor. Kern as chief of
police. RAd members of the police COM
mission knowingly permitted and even
participated in violations of law. the
mayor and the chief have been under
bitter fire of advocates of clean munich :
pal government. When Harper. in the
face of strong protest, appointed Kern
a member Of the board of public works.
the recall provision of the city charter
was set in operation, and George Alex
ander, former supervisor and wen
known for his opposition to the Parker
machine, was nominated by a meeting
OF citizens to oppose Harper in the re-
call election.
During the last ten days the fight
has been exceedingly bitter, but there
was little sign of weakening on either
side until Kern resigned.
This was hailed as a great victory
by the Municipal league, which is lead
ing the fight OF the reform forces, but
Harper's action tonight in withdrawing
from the ticket and resigning his office
so far overshadow's Kern's retirement
that the good government forces de-
clare it a complete victory.
