CHAPTER VIlI.-Continued.

Without further consulting Marga-
ret, who had seated herself before
the dressing-table, Potts proceeded to
fasten a broad brimmed black straw
hat on the thick brown hair; she then
spread an immense white veil over it,
drew it under her mistress chin and
knotted it in way that would have
amazed a seaman.
When Margaret was putting on her
gloves, Mrs. Rushmore herself came
to the door. knocked and opened dis
creetly before there was any answer.
my dear child she asked, what
in the world is the matter? Nothing
serious, trust?"
"Oh, nothing" Margaret answered,
going forward to meet her, and find
ing her natural voice. I'm sorry if
I've kept you waiting"
It's so unlike you, my dear" Mrs.
,Rushmore said, with emphasis; and
Potts looked quite grave when she
Wrought me your message half an hour
ago"
"You would have been more sur
prised if she had burst out laughing,
Margaret said viciously.
MY dear" Mrs. Rushmore an
swered, I'm astonished at you! l
know something has happened. |
know it. You are not yourself this
morning"
This was a statement so evidently
absurd that it could not be answered
except by a fiat contradictions; so
Margaret said nothing, and went on
working her hand into a perfectly
new glove.
81 see that you have not even
opened your letters" Mrs Rushmore
continued severely. Except that, y
she added noticing the loose sheets
of Lady Mauds letter on the toilet
table
Margaret gathered them up hastily,
folded them into a crumpled package
and thrust them into the empty en-
velope. For once, she had forgotten
her caution, but she retrieved herself
by pushing the thick letter into her
long glove, much to Potts distress,
for 1t made an ugly lump. She made
it worse by forcing in the second
envelope, which contained the news
paper cutting
I'm ready now" she said.
Mrs. Rushmore turned and led the
way with stately steps; she was al
ways imposing, but when she was Of
Tended she was monumental. The two
went out in silence, and walkly slowly
down the straight, dull street side by
side. Mrs. Rushmore spoke first, aft
er they had gone some distance.
81 know" she said, that something
has happened. 1t was in that letter.
You cannot deny it, Margaret. 1t was
in the letter you folded in that hur-
ried manner"
1.-THE news was" answered the prima
donna, still vicious.
Il told you so. My dear child, it's
not of the slightest use to try to de-
ceive me. I've known you since you
were child"

Potts was there. to begin" ex-
planned Margaret GROSSLY.
But Mrs. Rushmore no longer heard.
Her head was up, her parasol lay back
upon her shoulder. her faded eyes
were brighter than before. and the be-
ginning of a social smile wreathed
her hitherto grave lips.
There's Mr.. Van Torp, my dear,
she said in quite another tone, and
very low. "and unless I'm much mis-
taken-yes. knew it! He's with
Count Kralinsky. / saw the count
from the window yesterday when he
arrived. / hope our friend will pre-
sent him"

West Windsor Farmer Fatally
Hurt

Myron Savage, a farmer of West
Windsor and veteran of the war,
was probably fatally injured at Guy
Clough's barn in that town Monday
by falling upon wagon stake. He
was coming down a ladder from the
hay loft to a hay wagon in the barn
floor. when the ladder slipped in
some way and he was thrown back
ward upon the stake, which went
clear through his body, piercing his
right lung.
DIR. r. Halford Miner of Windsor
was called, to attend Mr.. Savage and
made him as comfortable as possible,
but there is small chance of his re-
ccvery as he is nearly 10 years old,
He has wife and two children in
Bethel and several relatives in
Windsor. Il

earliest traditional history of Wood

and colonial times to the present
day. The pictures will be full Of
life and color, and in their varied
character will make an unusually
attractive entertainment.

not very rich in exciting Incl

of material for these living pictures.
There were some real Indians, how
ever, and they will be seen on the
stage, and soldiers too.
The music, songs the choruses,
old-time melodies will be feature
of the program, and the incidental
music will add to the old-timo
atmosphere of the stage. In the
Indian tableaux dance will sym
bolize the worship of the sun.
The Woodstock Inn quartet will
play for the dancing; and, other sell

BALLINGER- -PINCHoT CASE
GOES OVER FOR A WEEK
Secretary's Counsel Must Prepare for
lnvestigatlon-Acts on Senator
Nelson's Suggestion.

Washington, Feb 5.-To permit the
arrival in the city of counsel for Sec
retary Balllnger and TO allow counsel
to become familiar with the case, the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating COM
mittee' adjourned its hearings until
February II.
John ]. Vertrees of Nashville, Tenn,
and Carl Rasch, formerly United
States district attorney for Montana,
have been formally selected to repre-
sent Secretary Ballinger, Land Com
missioner bennett and Field Agent
Schwartz in the investigation.
II developed at the brief public ses-
sion Of the committee that under date
of February 2, Senator Nelson. chair.
man Of the committee, wrote to Sec.
retary Balllnger that he had been di-
rected by the members to suggest to
him the importance of being represent
ed by counsel To examine and cross
examine Witnesses and to present in
orderly fashion such evidence as
would be material to "the other side"
Replying to this letter under date of
February 3, Mr. Ballinger said he had
followed the suggestion of the commit
tee, but that It would require several
days for his attorney to reach Wash
ington and additional time for MIN to
fan iliarize himself with the case. Mr.
Ballinger said he had been OF the opin-
ion that by not having counsel present
he would be assisting the committee,
or at least would not be hampering 1t.
in making full inquiry of its own.
In view of the suggestion by the chair
man, however, he could do nothing but
follow the recommendation of the com
mittee. He asked that the hearing
be postponed until February H.
