ALLD'S CASE WILL
 BE REOPENED

Burlington, Vt, February 21.--The e reasons for reopening the Auld Robnett courtmartal were explained today by Joseph Aud, a newspaper publisher of this city and father of Paymaster George P. Aud, U. s. N, who was re- gently tried by A courtmartial at the Charlestown navy yard on charges grswing out of an alleged assault on pr. Edward s. Cowles, a civilian of Boston. Joseph Auld said:
 The very serious question of sec- ond trial and double punishment for single offense should be settled and am glad that it is to be appealed to the highest authority.
 "The contention was the same in both the Aud and Robnett cases. The Aud case was finally settled so sat- isfactorily that 1 did not think it nec- essary to press the matter further. At the same time I believe that the mat ter should be settled for all time.'

life during these Lenten days is one long sweet dream,' said Peggy as she stretched herself comfortably back in a ; great arm chair in front of the fire few mornings ago, and settled herself for a 'heart to heart" talk with me and one of her blood relatives.
 "I wonder why the pessimists rail against 1t sop l calmly asked.
 "Oh, merely because they've got an in curable grouch," said Peggy.
 And no sooner had she delivered this edifying remark than the door bell rang and the maid handed her the gas bill. Peggy gave one glance at 1t and threw slp her hands and assumed posture that looked to me peculiarly like fainting fit.
 What does this mean?" she walled. 'Can the gas company think I am mill lionaire? Why, l have certainly got the wrong bill. This one must belong to the people in the four-story house across the way. Surely not to my humble little five room apartment. I'll have none of this. and I shall immediately call up the gas company"
 To which the blood relative and I as- sented silently, knowing that this was no tirte for talk.
 AS she made ready to phone she flung the bill across the table and the blood relative" having the temerity to finally utter several parts of speech, said sooth- ingly; .-14
 This is undoubtedly your own bill. It is made out plainly with your husband s initials, and I think you'll make a goose of yourself if you call up the gas com pany.'
 But Peggy, nothing daunted, called up the gas company, and after much red tape as to this department and that, and the other, she finally got in communica- tion with what sounded like a disembodied voice. which with the aid probably of disembodied eyes, assured her that the amount of her indebtedness to the com pany was precisely as the figures repre- sented.
 Then, said Peggy, in sepulchre tone, send a man out here to take out my kitchen range, for I know it leaks outrageousy."
 Z Nothing if not prompt, the man from the gas company was "Johnny-on-the-s |" and Peggy confiding to the ''blood rela- tive" and me, that never more would she hold converse with gas and it's doings ssied herself to the kitchen to see the gas ntan take out the range.
 Tt does leak," said he, in the most delightfully."- assuaging tone Gt's way gas men have). ''The handles are too loose and they allow bit of gas to escape"
 And as she received this delectable news Peggy, who was about to send up peals of Thanksgiving, heard him say:
 By tightening them you will save at least 20 cents a month"
 Take out the meter" cried Peggy forthwith. and there's no telling what else she would have said, but just at this moment the blood relative" handed
