Maybe you've been fighting the
Boers?" They speculated on what
bad thing he might have done. Fin
ally Christie says he's killed his faith
er. They are delighted with man
who had the courage to kill his faith
er, and crowd around him, admiring
him very much, and wanting to know
how he did it, The men finally go
off to the wake, leaving Peguine
alone with the hero. There's a
glamour about him now. She asks
him to stay for the night, and makes
up bed for him, commenting on his
quality name and small feet.
She wants to hear his story.
Are you single" he asks. What
would l want to wed?" she answers.
The Widow Quinn comes in. She's
heard Sof the hero. Peguine eau
tions Christie to eat his supper, and
let on he's sleepy. The widow says
to Peguine, Il was told of your
curiosity man" Aren't you the
smiling fellow?" she says to Chris
tie. Did you kill your father?"
Christie gives her small comfort
by his replies. The women begin to
struggle, Peguine crying out "I'll
have him for my pot-boy." The
widow says she has a nice house on
the hill and offers to hide the hero.
Christie sits between them and lets
them quarrel. Finally Peguine
puts the widow out Christie gets up
and stretches and says, "Well it's a
clean bed and great luck and COM
pany. Two fine women fight for
me. Wasn't ! foolish not to XII my
father, years ago?"
Act II opens in the same place. 1t
is dawn. Christie, who has been
asleep in the public room, wakes up
and sees the mugs. Thinks it's a
nice place to settle in; nice place
to stay. He starts to clean Peguine's
shoes. He goes to the glass on the
wall and looks at himself. my face
is nice and white" he says to him
self.
AS he is looking at himself three
girls, Nellie, Susan and Honor, come
in. He skips into another room.
"Oh, is he gone off now?" they cry.
He comes out to see the girls. "Are
you the man that killed his father?"
asks Nellie. "A 1000 welcomes to
you" She cries, ''Here's ducks eggs
for YOU" Susan gives him a pot OF

behind him to conceal the looking
glass. They dance about him an
tease him, saying, "I've never seen
a man with a looking-glass before"
The Widow Quinn comes in. All
cry out what did his father do?"
His father, Christie says, was walk
ing terror. Then he tells the story
of how he cleaved his skull, which
they all vote a perfectly grand
story.
Peguine comes in and says thai
she had a man all for herself, and
that she hired him for a pot-boy

SERIOUS CHARGES
 IN MONTGOMERY The Grand Jury Reflects on
 Board of Revenue RECKLESS EXPENSE Charged That One Member Spent
 s47OO on Road for theI improve ment of His Own Property

Montgomery. February 1S.-(Special.) Sensationalism was injected into the report of the Montgomery county grand jury when 1t deliveredsits fnquisitorial verdict to Judge Armstead Brown of the Montgomery city court this morn ing. Reckless and extravagant eXpen- allure of the countys money Is all legged against the county board of rev. enue, the charge being made that one member of the board. whose name Is not exposed. spent $47oo of the countys funds in changing the right of way of crossroad, primarily to improve and benefit his own property in that vicinity. The report states that an in- dictment against the official is not re- turned owing to the fact that the whole board concurred in the improvement.
 Regarding this the report says:
 "We especially desire to call your honor's attention to the very reckless and extravagant manner in which the county's money Is being expended by the present board of revenue. Our in- vestigations have developed the fact that the rights of way of certain pub lie roads have been changed at great expense to the county for the apparent purpose of benefiting the property of certain members of the board. The evil dence before us tends to show that the change in the Wares Ferry road was entirely unnecessary. and the' public at large has not been benefited there by, and $4700 of the peoples money was recklessly squandered for this un- necessary work and the evidence before us tends to show that the petition that the law requires to be filed in such cases was conceived and fathered by a member of the present board of rev. enue and his business associate for the sole purpose of improving his own property at the expense of the tax payers of this county. and the minutes of said board of revenue disclose the fact that said member was present and voted for 8 project of this kind.
 "Our only reason for not taking fur ther steps in this matter against the board of revenue of this county Is the fact that 1t appears that although the action of said board above referred to was unnecessary, reckless and harmful to the best interests of the people of the county, yet 1t appears that they compiled with the form required by law in such cases.
 we condemn in the strongest terms the action of the board of revenue in opening up so many unnecessary cross roads in this county at the expense of the people. We protest and object to any expenditure of the money of the county in opening up. grading or grav- cling a certain road leading from the present Mount M>igs road to the Upper Wetumpka road which we deem unwise and unnecessary"
 The indictments returned were all al g the usual routine lines. Indica- tiofis are that the revenue board will take steps to defend its position at its meeting on Monday.
