them, and finally showed Mr.. Gray
the act relating to the authority a

Mr.. Gray to the reporter.

AS Mr.. Gray was leaving after

Oday running after him.

He shook me as hard as he could

The first vote announcement of the

to prove that any girl can win if

You need not have money, influence

around the next. Keep your nome
well up among the leaders. Get
your friends interested. By working

enough votes to astonish both your
selves and your friends and when

Join so far we would say send in
your application at once and we will
send you all the necessary printed

The following morning Principal
Oday left town.
MIR. Gray's story about the diff
ficulties he experienced in getting
a warrant in Honesdale was exceed
ingly interesting. He made two at
tempts, and failed, and only sue
ceeded in securing one of William
II. Ham, at about six o'clock in the
evening. One man in particular
tried to dissuade him from doing
anything rash.
Don't go over the School Board s
head" advised a certain man.
You know" protested Mr.. Gray,
there has been dozen cases
Board never done anything"
One man said to Gray that he was
going out of town, and wouldn't be
back until Saturday and suggested
that he, Gray, think it over until
then.
But Mr.. Gray was not to be put
off, and persisted until he got what
he was after.
Charles Gray is a trustee of Pro-
lection Engine Company No. 3. He
is very much wrought up over the
case, and told the reporter that he
was going to get Iloff to be his law
yer.
In the meantime, Mr.. Oday is
among the missing. Where did he
go? and when will he be back? are
questions on every ones lips.

To begin at the beginning of a
long story:
Charles Gray conducts a small
store at 443 Main street. He sells
candy, cigars and notions. He also
makes and handles patent medi-
cines. Mr.. and Mrs. Gray have a
large family consisting of six boys
and one girl. Like all good citizens
they believe in educating their off
spring, and as consequence all
who are old enough to go are en-
rolled in the Honesdale public
schools. Mrs. Gray also goes out to
work sometimes, and helps to patch
out their small income by helping
the neighbors when her services are
wanted
All is not sunshine in the Gray
family for they have among their
children one dear little boy Edward
Edward is suffering from a shrink

wobble and refuse to do their duty

Instead he was seen to take the 6 55
Delaware and Hudson morning train
out of town.
A good many people are wonder
ing where Principal Oday went and
when he will be back. They are all
the more curious because a warrant

with the recent mystery in Palmyra
township. the Equinunk affair last
summer, and several other unex-

tants of this otherwise aristocratic
and peaceful burg are stirred up as
they have never been before.
When Constable Philip Mang call
ed at the High school building to
serve the warrant in his possession,
Wednesday morning he was told
"The Professor left on the first train
Wednesday morning. They didn't
know when he would be back" The
