Young Hanley set his machine by
the barbed wire fence and followed
in hot pursuit. 1t was a spirited
race, for the girl ran like Atalanta,
and not once did she look back nor
grab at Turing apples. But at the
brow of little hill, where quaint
stile ran from pink clover fields to
shady highway, he overlook her.

She turned at bay-smiling, elud-

Hanley, the young telephone in
spector, allowed his motto cycle to
fairly hum along the straight, level
stretch of the P. & N. A. railway
between Brownsville and Danforth.
He had gone carefully over this
stretch the day before. and he
knew that his wires. his red, wood
en- brackets and his greenish insu-
lators were as good wires, brack-
cts and insulators ought to be. 1t
was further down beyond Danforth
that wires were tangled. No trains

Then far ahead. where a sharp

into a giant oak forest, Hanley saw
something which made him shut

gently apply his brake. 1t was a

waited, listening intently. The air
was still and quiet; moderate

mile. The danger was stationary,
at least. Hanley set his machine

THE NEW YEARS BEST PROMISE.


This New Year day is the threshold of mighty events
The year 1908 passes into history marked by deter

combinations.

greater results in this direction

fact remains that the main purpose of government to
secure to all the people just conditions under which to

shown In the backbone of the honest ndustrye farms
The hgures-almost $8 OOO 100000 in value of pro-

that they represent four times the value of the products

to know much about what had become OF IT, Wheh
the time for the reunion came there country
wide demand that the bell be found and given the
place of honor in the anniversary exercises.
To Mr. Herbert d, Lloyd resident director of the
Cheshire School, and Mr. John w. Osborn, of New
Haven was ntrusted the task of tracing the old bell
which was so dear to many Of the boys. now elderly
men, of those old days. They traced it first TO
Chapel in Brandford. Conn, and from there to 81
Pauls Church. In Stonington. There was no difficulty
Identifying it, for that was done by the names ana
initials the old Cheshire boys who rsked their Ves
and limbs in climbing up to the old belfry Consplcu
GUS among those names-and they were found there
after the bell had been restored-were those of MT
Morgan and General Wheeler, which are reproduced

Mr. William G. Demorest, 1875. purchased the bell
and brought it back TO Cheshire amid the general re-
joicings of the old boys who had congregated there
to celebrate the anniversary At that time the old
bell, bedecked with the Cheshire coors of blue and
white was carried out the campus with due cere-
mony and each graduate rang out his class number OF
it. And at the time the new bell in the Bowden Hall
spire returned the greeting there floating from
its insecure spre a brand flag of the class

hand the night before and the hand of boy actuaed

Cheshire boy of to-day there will not be the great
banker or the dashing soldier of the future?
Notwithstanding the great demands ON the time OF
Mr.. Morgan. he has always retained his interest in

school he would have great deal of charity for one
of the boys of to-day who had through his love OF
adventure done of those things which are for
bidden.
