 "You are dealing with things more serious than your management" said Vavin, "and, if know the theater, 1t may not be a bad idea to close 1t on account of her indisposition for one or perhaps two nights. It would be what you call good business. She will leave on the o'clock train for New York. and you and can meet her somewhere between here and Lenox. and in the meantime we will have Judge Elliott see that her father ar rives here from Albany, where he hns been speaking"
 He walked briskly to the door and threw it open. "You may come in," he said.

Her father. she learned there, was in Albany, and she has been un- able to get in touch with him. Will you see that he is at my hotel at o'clock tonightr
 "At your hotel"' was the general ex- clamation.
 At my hotei," he replied. 'Miss Fullerton declines to come back here. She has done mo the honor to say that she will start for New York in time to be at my hotel at 8 o'clock. and. in. asmuch as 1t was from here that she went. will you, Mrs. Winthrop. and you.

CHAPTER XIV.
 f~1O find Fullerton was Dora's | first thought when dawn be-
 Esl gan to come through her tAsD window in the Winthrop apartment. Stepping softly to the telephone, she had learned when the first train left and had got to the station in time to wire Professor Full Ierton that she must see him at once at Lenox. She felt that only there could she have the talk that she must have with him, and this, in addition to her fear of going to Cambridge, had caused her to pick the old home for what she felt would be her last visit.
 It was disheartening news that she received by telegram at Lenox-that Professor Fullerton had gone away for several days, leaving no other address than Albany.
 When, therefore, Vavin called her on the telephone there was no thought of resisting, for she needed this gen uine friend very much. His kind sug- gestion to come to Lenox gave her new courage, and she realized that if. after all. she was going to take up career unprotected it would be bet ter for his advice. And so she had an swered readily that she would come.
 It was not exactly an exclamation of displeasure with which she met Holcomb, but she would rather not have seen him until she had had her trouble out with Fullerton.
 "You don't seem pleased to see me" said the young man when he and Va win had joined her at South Norwalk.
 ''It is not that. Willard" she said. ''but must learn something for cer- tainty before you and I resume our old relations"
 "We will not talk of that" said Va win. ''The railway table d'hote is awaiting us. your wonderful American table dhote, where they rive you three

EndeaVOying to Pull Their Cam
didate from out of His
Own Hole

1t is indeed painful to observe the
efforts of Mr.. Sandoz's friends to ex-
tricate him from the position he now
finds himself in with reference to the
enforcement of the Prohibition ordi-
nance.
In the early part Of November he
appeared before the Police Jury and,
in advocating an election to repeal
this ordinance, said:
THAT he had been approached and
told that his stand in favor of licen-
sed saloons would injdre his political
future, and had been advised to
keep quite / have always been in
favor of the licensed saloon, because
| believe it preferable to prohibition,
with its consequent impracticability
1t is my opinion, and | would rather
be buried forever politically, than
give up my opinion, which as ar AM
erican | have a right to, than truckle
to any sentiment that is not within
my heart and belief. If it ruins me
politically, | am ruined, and that is
all there is to it-but will continue
to form my opinion, and act as my
conscience tells me is proper and
best"
Now his friends say he vas only
appearing as an advocate, hired to
express these sentiments. This is
clap trap, rot and balderash. His
duty as Attorney was to assign rea-
sons why the ordinance should be
adopted. These were plentiful. This
done, he chose to INTERCEPT himself
into the argument, prepared a pitfall
into which he has fallen, from which
his friends are ~ingloriously endeayor-
ing TO lift him. Unfortunately for
him, they cannot fool the voters in
this way. The prohibitionisbs know
their friends and are not going into
the enemY's camp to seek a judge TO
enforce their ordinance.

From time immemorial the people
of this pa ish have resented Guber-

Our people are proud of their
birthright Of freedom. The history
Of this State from its territorial days

Governor Sanders, under his oath Of

Governor Sanders attempt to com

which the people will resent.

WATER SUPPLY LOW Lake Whitney Nearly Four Feet Below Normal When
 Rain Comes

With the information that the pres ent condition of the water supply throughout Southern New England is causing the New Haven Water Co.,, some anxiety came a statement from the company last night asking that as little water as possible be wasted. Although unnoticed by most residents, lakes and reservoirs furnishing water for the Elm city and vicinity have been dropping steadily. Every reser- voir and lake in the neighborhood is far below a normal level. Out in Whitneyville residents are beginning to feel alarmed over the condition of Lake Whitney. The lake has reached it's lowest level since last year when it reached the lowest point in it's tis- tory. It is now almost four feet be- low its normal level. It was learned yesterday that th's condition exists in about every reservoir and lake in the neighborhood.
 It is generally understood by Water Company officials that the present sit uation is a serious one and although no immediate danger is felt for New Haven a warning is sent out not to waste the water now in use-

ton by town assessors to secure a basis for tax assessments. but such is not the fact. State officials may, however. inspect them, though only through the consent of the Attorney General. We infer, from the wording of the official regulations. that he will only allow such inspection when facts covered by the returns are called for by the courts. This would debar our State Tax Commissioner from secur- ing facts for use by town assessors. The only method, then, by which such facts can be obtained. is by such action as would bring the matter into the courts
 The government evidently does not intend that the corporations shall be compelled to pay their just shares of town and city taxation.

 In Re Good Roads
 Dear Sir: enclose herewith a lit tie statement in regard to the present highway department of the State o1 Connecticut. Of necessity, I have made the statement general in terms since a detailed statement would re- Quire too much space, but if you de- sire specific examples of bad roads or of selectmen who have complained bitterly of inefic, ,ency of the present system. or of contractors who have been unjustly treated, I can given them.
 I have no candidate for commis- sioner. I do not know that you could md one in the State. though I pre- sume you could. who would be quail fled and would accept. I merely want to see good roads and the States money we'll spent Massachusetts has no difficulty in getting good men fol less money than we pay here. for in- competent.

It is hard knock at Cupid, and an

OF course, the greater number of

vorce cases, there are but ten new
Etigated cases Apon the civil docket,
with eight passed cases for re-assign-
ment This makes up civil docket
which may be finished in three or four
days. The criminal docket shows more
business, as there are number of
negro murder cases for trial, while
the grand jury, as usual, will develop
other cases for trial on the criminal
side. Judge q. A Littlejohn will pre-
side and his charge to the grand jury
will be interesting.

TODAY AT MtFlING.
Services at the Oliver
Warehouse.

The Munhall-Davis evangelistic
meetings in progress at the oliver
warehouse are growing in interest and
DR.. Munhall is proving man of rare
power and ability, familiar with the
Bible as few other men in America
are. In fact, the major portion of his
sermons are made up in the main OF
selected bits of the Word, woven into
connected line of thought.
He submits the contention that in as
much as he is not the author of any
part of the Bible he is not RESPONSE
BILE for what it may say, or the light
in which it shows men to be.
Rev Mr.. Davis, who conducts the
musical part of the services is a past
master of the musical art and is him
self to be a man among men. His
solo selections commend themselves to
his hearers for their tenderness by his
rendition.
The uncomfortable benches that
have been replaced by chairs and this
will add to the pleasure of the occa-
sion.
This afternoon at o'clock DR.. Nun
hall will address the young people of
both sexes between the ages of twelve
and twenty-five. Those younger than
that age will not be admitted, and
those older will only be admitted by
Encouragement with DR.. Munhall or
some of those in charge.
Admission to this service will be by
ticket only. These tickets may be had
for the asking, but all must have them.
Doors open at two forty-fve and close
at three-fifteen o'clock.
Tonight at seven forty-five, begin
ming with a song service in charge of
Mr.. Davis, will be the great meeting
of the day. Services in some of the
churches of the city have been calld
off in favor of this and a large attend
ance is expected.
