We ARE glad that some body
reaped some benefit from the fight
recently waged for a raise Of the
school levy evan if we did not.
Our friends in the Piankitank and
Chesapeake Districts obtained an
increase of fifteen cents on the
one hundred dollars and we ATE
sure that they will find plenty of
places where 1t can be used to
good purpose. The numbers Of
the Board from these Districts
deserve creditable mention for
their good Judgement which led
them to make an effort to supply
"the crying needs of their people
as SON as they were recognized.
The Westville District secured
no increase save the 5 cents on
the county fund (given us by the
vote of the gentlemen from the
other districts. } The reason ad-
vanced by our representative up
on theBoard for giving no increase
being that we did not need it. This
argument did not appeal to us
with particular force when we re-
rnembered; that we were the only
District in the county that was
forced TO go in debt last year to
run the schools for the regular
Germ; and that the Supt. of Public
instruction has already notified
Supt. Perciful that unless a new
building on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
IS secured before next term. that
she High School appropriation
will be with drawn: Being thank
fnl for small favors. we are CRATE
full for the five cent increase, bu.
In consideration of the facts as set
forth above. we would have been
proportionately thankful for as
much increase as was given the
other Districts. At the same time
we know that our representative
upon the BOARD votes on all occa-
'slons his honest convictions, and
for that reason cannot bring our
selves to abuse him as we other
wise would.

worse and everything was done for me
that was possible, but did not get
any better. I became so bad scould

called in, and after treatinn me for
sometime without helping me any, told
me my only hope was to have an oper

advised he to get me Swamp Root. He
bought one bottle and from the first
began to improve, and in two weeks L
was able to leave bed. took one more
bottle and was entirely cured and able
to do my work around the house and
have enjoyed good health to this day.

CHAPTER xxIv.-(continued).

CHAPTER xxIV.-(Continued).
The struggle was short and decisive
for the odds were far too great for
the man in the frock-coat, and he reel
ed back before the onslaught OF the
others. The sound Of sickening blows
came TO Ailsas ears. the quick thud
meant murder. Needless OF her err
rand and the danger TO herself, Ailsa
screamed for assistance.
The cry rang clear on the night air,
but nobody seemed to heed or hear
il. Once again Ailsa called out, and
this time the noise OF her cry struck
the ears OF one of the men opposite.
He paused and listened. he said some
thing TO his confederates in a hurried
low voice. The next minute the man
in the frock-coat was bundled into
the road, and the door closed upon
him Ailsa saw the tall figure totter
and reel, and then fall headlong on
the pavement There was nothing else
for IL now but TO go 10 his assistance.
II was impossible to leave the poor
man lying there TO the mercy OF the
night. The man lay on his back. with
his face staring up at the lamp under
which he had fallen. Ailsa bent over
him.
She started back with a stified cry
OF horror and amazement. But she
had TO look again 10 see tint she had
not made a mistake. that her nerves
had not played her false. No. she
had not made any mistake, II was no
chance likeness The figure before
her was that OF Archibald Colviile. The
whole thing was maddening. but there
it was.
So far as Alsa could gather, the
man was not badly hurt. All the
same, he was quite unconscious. and
lay there as II asleep. He might open
his eyes az any moment and recognize
who IL was that was bending over
him. And If he did so he would be
quite sure 20 believe that Ailsa had
been following him. and this was the
very last thing that the girl desired.
II was very quiet there. and not a
soul was TO be seen. There was very
little chance OF Colville suffering from
the exposure, for II was a warm night
and a policeman would surely come
along before many minutes had pass
ed. Ailsas first impulse was 10 leave
Colville there; anything so long as he
did not come to his senses and recog-
nize her. Would Il not be better TO
leave him there, she wondered. But
there was no time TO think now. for

The sobbing OF nurse disturbed
