ten considerable fire insurance on the
property held in trust, the premiums
on which amounted to several hundred
dollars. There is no charge. however,
that this was contrary to law.
A Mr.. Dittburner, who was n tenant

county for a period Of six years, testi-
fed today as to the condition of the
farm, and further testified that he had
settled rent notes in the sum Of 81. 400
due to the estate from him by paying
$500. The attorneys for Lois Wisner
claim that the trustee had no order Of

settlement with farm tenants, claims
that the lands were wet and no crops

today was the claim of Attorney c. E.

in drawing up the final report Of the
trustee Mr.. AIbrook claimed ana was
allowed by the court the sum OF $500.
but Mr.. Newcomer objected to this as

Now you may go out in the

she finished dressing him. But

Arthur went out and sat on the

stay right there till mamma came
out, because he didn't want to run
the risk of getting dirty and los
ing his trip to the park.
The three-year-old Blake twins.
who lived next door, were playing
down at the brook. which ran be-
tween the two places. Arthur
would have liked to go down and
play with them, but playing in
the brook and keeping clean he
knew was impossible. A few min
utes more passed by, which seemed
to him such very, very long min
utes. before something very seri-
GUS happened at the brook.
Arthur heard a scream, and
looking up, saw that one of the
twins had fallen in. He ran down.
waded in the brook and pulled
the child out. Then he sent the
twins home and started for the
house. His mother was just COM
ing out. She looked at Arthur,
who was a very sorry-looking
sight with his wet. mud-bespat-
tered clothes, with a frown as she
said: you may go in and take
off those clothes. put on your old
suit and stay at home" Arthur
tried to explain, but she wouldn't
listen. AS she waited in front of
the Blake home for the car, the
mother of the twins came rushing
out to tell her what a hero her
little son was. Just then the car
came along, but she didn't signal
It to stop.
Half an hour later she waited
for car again, but she was not
alone. A happy little boy dressed
in a nice clean suit, ready for an
afternoon of fun at the park.
