offered her his heart and hand.
The young woman, although seem.
ingly overcome, was altogether too
modest to accept. Somewhat taken
back by this premature declaration,
she was sufficiently self-poised to as

and that she deeply appreciated his
attention. But she could not take any
decisive step in so important a mat.
ter without first consulting her father
She felt that it was her first duty to
save her brother. To accomplish this
she was ready to sacrifice life itself.
Merito, never at a loss for a sub
terfuge, proposed to interest himself
and secure a condonement of her
brothers offense through the assist
ance of the Italian consul at New
York. This ray of light was present
ed in fine Italian style and must have
sounded hopeful to the ears of Miss
Brownie. Her face now fairly beamed
with Joy as sne assured him she
would willingly give all she possessed
in the world to effect such a result.
She promised to marry him should he
succeed in saving her brother from
prosecution for his past offenses.
The day following this l received at
my New York Office a letter marked
personal" which read as follows:
United States Hotel Boston. Mass.
MY Dear Chief:

ment he pushed himself to the front
said: please excuse me, young lady,
l am very much panied to witness
your distress, and l should be glad to
assist you. If you will allow me
think / can procure you a stateroom."
In modest tones she thanked him
fered him the ten dollar bill that had
been returned to her by the chamber
maid.
Never mind the money until

He thereupon went below. The
sister, he thought. is not responsible
for the sins of her brother; besides,
the making of her acquaintance might
give him a better opportunity for dis
covering the whereabouts of the man
he was seeking. In his imagination
he was sure that she was going to
meet him.
This was his opportunity, thought
he. He would ingratiate himself into
the good graces of this young woman
and If possible learn the whereabouts
of her brother.
The oily-tongued detective had no
great difficulty in securing the coveted
prize. Steamboat clerks are always
wise enough TO reserve an extra ticket
or two for special purposes.
When Merito returned to the grand
salon and handed the young lady her
tickets she was profuse in her thanks
and expressed her deep obligation. AS
she held the tickets between her
jeweled fingers she beamed a smile
and displayed a set OF pearly white
teeth, encircled by a pair of ruby lips.

York and Fall River, Merito was close
at her heels. She stepped up into the
grand salon and after moving about
for few moments, beckoned to a
nut-brown chambermaid. When the
servant came near the young lady

and taking from it a ten dollar bill. re-
quested her to procure a stateroom

A few minutes afterwards the cham
bermaid returned and informed the
young lady that the staterooms on the

The young lady seemed greatly dis

tered was an index of her feelings at
that moment, she was not only greatly
disappointed, but at loss to know

Hardly a Commitment.

In the excitement of the moment
public speakers often say the opposite
of what they mean to convey, and
when Henry Irving gave reading in
Stoker, in Personal "reminiscences
of Henry Irving" ''one speaker made
as pretty an Irish bull as could be
found, though the bull is generally sup
posed to belong to other provinces
than the hard-headed Ulster. In des-
canting on the many virtues of the
guest of the evening he mentioned the
excellence of his moral nature and
rectitude of his private life in these
terms: "Mr. Irving, sir, is a gentle
man what leads a life of unbroken
blemish.'"

home and fed to Canada, where she
was expecting to meet him
Learning this, the detective was
deeply interested, not only in the
brother, but in the sister as well. In
deed, she was the most attractive per-
son he had ever before met. To his
mind she was everything that a woman
should be. Wealthy. educated and af.
fectionate, she was brave and roman
tic enough to venture out alone and
battle the cold world for the purpose
of redeeming her hayward brother.
So gentle and unassuming did she ap-
pear that he was sure she had a
heart overlooking with love.
AS these thoughts came meandering
through his brain he saw in his eager
ness the opportunity of his life. He
would somehow be instrumental in
saving the brother and thus win the
fair girls neutrality-suspicious. her love.
He felt sure that he could trust to her
generous heart to forgive him for de-
ceiving her by palming himself off as
the son of a nobleman.
When the couple arrived in Boston
they went at once to the United States
hotel, where they took breakfast to-
gether. The detective now thought
Miss Brownie more fascinating than
ever and at the first opportunity he
threw discretion to the winds and be-
gan wooing in the most approved
Italian style. Pressing his suit with
an ardor more impetuous than con-
ventional, he begged her to become
his wife.
1t appears that her deep sorrow,
her soft words, and above all, her
tears, had quite bewildered him. Real
beauty in distress was too much for
the warm-blooded Latin, and he sur

even. than the diamond solitaires that
adorned her ears.
The detectives heart was throbbing
wildly. He could scarcely contain
himself. 1t was a case of love at first
sight. The hot blood of the Italian
was surging to his head. He was quite
bewildere6.
Collecting his scattered senses he
was soon able to convince the young
woman that he was a man Of conse-
quence, and that while their meeting
was but casual, he was greatly de-
lighted because Of the opportunity Of
fered to make her acquaintance.
1t was late in the evening when they
babe each other good night with a
promise to meet again on the arrival
of the steamer at Fall River in the
early morning.
Merito had not only discovered that
Miss Brownie was lovely and fas-
cinating, but that she was frank, con-
fiding and truthful. She had nothing

to conceal He had learned every
thing. She was a young and sensitive
maiden who had courageously ven-
tured from her fathers home with
the purpose of meeting a much loved
but wayward brother How, then,
could he help sympathizing with her?
Even though his representations in
regard to himself were falsely made
for the purpose of obtaining her con-
fidence, he believed he was sufficiently
shrewd to square himself with her at
the proper time.
AS deception is ofttimes a part of
the detectives stock In trade, he
thought there could be no great harm
in it after all was understood. 1t
seems that he told her the secret of
his being the son Of an Italian noble
man of great wealth and that he was
travelling incog to crafty his curiosity
While the story he told was wholly
false, he was quite good looking
enough and sufficiently genteel in ap-
pearance to bear out the statement.
From what occurred it was apparent
that the young woman herself was
somewhat impressed and quite uncer-
tain as to the true status of the de-
tective.
Her story as told to Merito appeared
straightforward and truthful. Her
mother was dead. Her father, al

Rev. William F. Newton Breaches at Evangelistic Service at Third Baptist church-Death of Patrick Gallagher Local Mention.

Rev. W. F. Newton continued the evangelistic services in the Third Bap- tist church on Monday evening ! preaching an inspiring sermon in his characteristic direct and fOrceful man ner. The congregation was larger than l those at last weeks meetings, showing an increasing interest, but still larger attendance is desired and expected for the coming nights Rev pr. A. B. Coats was unable to be present, being called back to Hartford Monday, but 1 he Is expected to be present to assist Rev MT Newton during the remainder
 of the meetings.
 The meeting Monday night was a consecratio meeting. It opened with the singing of Alexander songs, and prayer was offered by the pastor, Rev.
 J. R. Very. The noted Smile Song was rendered with excellent effect by Rev. MT. Newton, who took occasion to speak briefly of his work in connection with the Baptist Publication society. Forgiveness was the leading thought of his sermon, and Acts 13:3 was talk en for text. This religion of Jesus Christ is the only religion that teaches the forgiveness of sin.
 None of us are a bit better than any body else, said the speaker. We are
 all of the same material, good in spots.
 We should become humble for he who
 humbIeth himself shall be exalted by
 God, and we are on sure footing when
 we get to God. It is sweet to be hum
 bIe, a help and a blessing to people. But when we get on a high horse and think we are all right, let me tell you we are wrong every time. We need to look into our hearts and get right with ourselves, then we will get right with everyone else.
 MT. Newton spoke of the need of forgiveness. God forgives us just as we forgive others, and if we forgive not, we must pay the penalty. One of the precious things about forgiveness is getting ahead of people who have grudge against us. If you have any neighbors you don't like, take them over a loaf of cake. If thine enemy hunger feed him.
 It costs something to live the Chris tian life. It must be lived by sacri- fee. Jesus Christ lived @ life of sacri- flee. When he was rev1led he reviled not, when he suffered he threatened not, and he suffered all this for you. How much are you willing to sacrifice for him? It is easy to say I am going to have my rights, it is Christlike to forgive.
 The speaker told of a man who boasted that he had been a member of the church for twenty-one years, and it had cost him only seven cents! How much religion did he have? The man who gives the most is the richest man. the man with the largest and warmest heart. D. l.. Moody left an inventory of only $500, and he had handled mill lions of dollars. He had spent it all for the poor boys and girls at North
 field, he had such 1arge-heartedness and sympathy.
 The thing to do is to bury the past and never bring it up again. It is our duty to stand in our place whether it pleases us or not. and it ought to be our sweet and loving service to God, to deny ourselves, and take up our cross and follow him.

JUDGE GREENE DISSOLVED
 TEMPORARY INJUNCTION.
Memorandum of Decision in the Case of s. B. Bond ct al; vs. S. T. Little field.

Judge Gardiner Greene has handed down a decision dissolving the tenn porary injunction in the case of s B. Bond ct al. vs. S. T. Littlefield This is suit over some land in East Lyme where an agreement was made to sell the property and to pass the deeds in thirty days. Before the time was up more advantageous sale, it was found. could be made, it is claimed, and before waiting until the thirty days were up suit was brought and the temporary injunction secured pre- venting the sale to the second party. The land is a farm. A hearing on the dissolving of the temporary injunction was held on February 26. In his mem orandum of decision, Judge Greene says:
 One of the grounds for the motion to dissolve is that both the specific suit were prematurely brought.
 The written agreement to convey land gave the defendant as vendor 30 days from January 8, 1910, within which to tender a proper deed. Both suits were brought before the limit expired, both being served on Janu- ary 26, 1910 The plaintiff claimed to have proved an absolute refusal by defendant to make a conveyance be- fore suit was brought; and that such refusal authorized suit for specific per torrance before the limit expired
 In & case where the vendor in ad- vance of the limit for performance re- fuses to perform, the vendee can treat the contract as rescinded except for vendee's rights to sue for damages for vendors breach. or he can disregard the vendors attempt to rescind the contract treat the construct as still subsisting and enforce it according to it's terms. In the latter case, "he must wait for the arrival of the time when in the ordinary course a cause of &C., tion on the contract would arise" Re- garding the construct as subsisting as must be done to maintain an action for specific performance, such an &C., ton should not be brought till the end of the 30 days. It Is evident that no injunction should exist in aid of a suit which should not have been brought

 damus in the Waterford school con- troVersy. He reserved his decision, l after hearing the testimony and argu-
 ments in the case, which is that of l.. A Comstock vs. E. J. Hampstead and others.
 As the first witness for the day L.. A.
 Comstock was called and testified to
 having been born in Waterford in
 1852, and has always voted there. He
 has lived in his own house in Water ford IA years, and about nine years ago moved to his sisters house, where he lived with his family. Less than a year ago he moved to a tenement over the Montville line owned by Mrs. Starr, but since then had often slept with his children in a furnished room at his sisters. It was his intention to move back there, should her death occur. she being in very poor health He hired the house by the month, but had no intention of residing there per- manently. He testified to being elect ed member of the Waterford school board at the last election and stated that the compensation is $35 a year. Since the organization of the board he missed but one meeting, and was naIm- ed to look after districts two and three, which he did until February 12, when he was removed from the board. He was present at the meeting when he was voted out, the question being on whether there was a vacancy on the board He voted no. Since then he has not met with the board, he re- ceived no notice of the meetings. He talked with Chairman Hemp about the matter later, and at one time asked for reinstatement, but the chairman refused to call a meeting for that purpose MT Hampstead asked if he supposed the board was going to be foolish enough to reinstate him after he had been busted.
