the kind OF man you are. and you
might as we'll know IT"
Captain Williams had listened to this
denunciation at first in utter amaze
ment. Then his shaggy eyebrows had
knitted together, and his little eyes
had spread over his face in a deep
glow through the veins that swelled
out like cords on his neck and throat.
"There amt no one ever said them
things to me and got away with it"
he Numbered. clinching his fists and
gathering all his tremendous strength
as he rose to crush his accuscr.
Mrs. Harris and Beth sprang up in
great alarm, and at the captains ter
rifying voice and his ferocious as.
pect Brooks shrank back. Smith stood
impressive. but watching Williams. to-
ward whom he had been edging.
Emma had stepped quickly between
the captain and her husband.

sake" she pleaded.
81 don't care-lct him come on"
cried Brooks doggedly. but his voice
faltering.
Williams gazed at the sweet. frail
woman standing imploringly before
him. aud as he gazed his muscles grad
ually relaxed. the wrath faded from
his eyes. and finally the corners Of his
mouth twitched in faint smile.
"All right. Mrs. Brooks he said
gently. 81 almost forgot where was.
I apologize"
Smith. his hands in his pockets,
moved away across the room.
Joe. you know it's your home-our

Tered sulkiiy, looking ashamed.
Smith spoke up. his winning smile
lighting his face:
You know. it's been an all fired hot
day-just the kind of weather when

Indeed. yes" chirped Beth.
Brooks now. his rage having spen,
itself and his bravado fzzled out, was
almost crying.

But the words choked in his throat
and, picking up his hat. he FASTENED
out of the room and the fat.

RETRIEVING HEN GETS WORMS
Fisherman Shows Chicken the Bait
Box and She Fills IL to
Overlooking.

Winsted, COMMAND now comes
this town Of many singular happen
ings with tale of a retrieving hen.
Not satisfied with capturing ever ma
ture-faking pennant that has been Of
fered in the last few years, it clinches
its claim to this seasons trophy with
a story that may go far toward con-
never will be defeated. Those other
stories about whistling woodchucks
and reversible robins will 90 into the
discard now.
H. G. Spaulding, manufacturer Of
Colebrook. seven miles from l.ere, Is
responsible for the latest contribution.
He is the proprietor of hen whose
full name is Elizabeth, but she Is best
known in the neighborhood as Bess.
1t was by chance that Mr.. Spauld-
ing discovered her ability in the re-
trleving line. She was never strong
in the domestic class AS a chick she
was Maynard and spent most of her
time in getting lost. AS a pullet she
didn't show much improvement.
When her education was completed
and Spaulding intimated that she
should give one or two substantial
reasons every day why she should
continue to eat his corn she gave him
the merry cluck. Spaulding says he
lost patience and was on the point Of
putting her in the fricassee class when
something happened.
One morning not long ago l went
to the garden to dig worms for bait"
says Spaulding. Il passed Bess Cd
the way, but knowing what l had In
store for her couldn't bear to look
at her. l dug up one or two worms
and placed them in my bait box, and
imagine my surprise, when Bess flut.
tered over with worm in her beak
and added it to my collection. With.
out waiting for instructions, she
hustled away and got another worm
and put 1T in the box. She repeated
the performance until I had to up
holster her legs to keep her from
digging
All have to do now is to show her
the bait box and in ten minutes the
worms are flowing over the side of it.
1t doesn't make any difference
whether the ground is wet or dry; she
gets them. And to show you how she
keeps track of them-the other day
she broke one and half of it escaped
She didn't give up the search until
she found the missing part and
brought it back and joined it with the
other half. l intend to tie bell on
her leg. so that she can ring up every
| time she lands one."

Smith smiled at her and injected a

readily digest food without artificial

anteed to cure Indigestion, acute or
chronic, or money back This means

ANOTHER BIG PLAYHOUSE
For Gotham Charles DiIingham's
Globe Theatre viii Be Opened
on Monday Night Next.
(Herald Specially

New York, JAN Another notable
addition will be made to the ever in
creasing list of playhouses in New
York, when Charles Dillingham's
Globe Theatre, in Times Square, is
opened Monday night. The new the
atre is destined to take rank among
the finest playhouses in the country.
Several novel features have been in
troduced in its construction One of
the most notable of these is a NOV
able panel in the ceiling, which can be
opened in warm weather, allowing the
audience view of the sky above the
theatre, and permitting a complete
ventilation in summer time.
The interior design of the theatre
is modern representation of the ar
chitecture of the Louis XVI Renais-
sance.. The general color scheme is
of Rose du Barry, with the walls of
old gold, blue and white ivory. The
main vestibule is designed to furnish
a commodious promenade between the
acts, and there is foyer on the level
of the first balcony intended for an
out-of-door promenade.
Mr. Dillingham; intends the theatre
primarily for stars and attractions
under his own management. "The
Old Town." with Montgomery and
Stone, has been selected as the open
ing attraction.
The opening of the Globe again
draws attention to the unusually large
number of playhouses that have been
built in New York the past few years.
Eight years ago there were but seven
teen regular" theatres in Manhat-
tan, while now there are more than
forty The notable additions to the
list within the past three or four years
inclnde the Hfppodrome, Maxine FL
liott's, the New Amsterdam, the Lib
erty, the Lyric, the Astor, the Hudson,
the Stuyvesant and the New Theatre.
And still there are more to come. Be-
fore the opening of another season it
is expected that Brady's New Neither
lands and the new Shubert Theatre
in TThirty-ninth street will be ready
for business

mia in regard to policies and candi-

pected to be well threshed out at the
big conference of the party leaders
which began here today and will not
conclude until tomorrow night. The
ostensible purpose of the gathering is
to celebrate Jack Day" with speech

understanding as to who is likely to
be the standard bearer in the next

meeting of the state editorial associa-
ton, the state committee and demo-
cratic members of the legislature. To-
morrow morning there is to be a gen.
eral conference to which all of the
party leaders, great and small, have
been invited. Theodore A. Bell will
open the conference with an address
on the policies of the democratic
party in California and will be fol-
lowed by other leaders of equal prom
inence, who will discuss the rail

other problems that are expected to
figure as issues in the campaign. The,
deliberations will be concluded to-
morrow night with big banquet at
