And just when l had decided that

man l knew who would never make
love 10 a woman whom he thought
married and then be very dignitied

heard what was wrong with the tele-
phone wire.
II had been cut, Cut through with

from the dressing table in Bella's
room, where Aunt Selma slept! The
wire had been clipped where IL came
into the house, just under window,

just then. We wanted food, and want.

wire. and the first thing we did, OF
course. was 10 order something To eat.
Aunt Selma went 10 bed just after
luncheon with indigestion, 10 the re-
lief OF every one in the house. She
had been most unpleasant all morn
ing.
When she found herself Ill. how
ever. she insisted on having Bella.
and that made trouble at once. We
found Bella with her cheek against
the door into Jim's room, looking
maudlin while he shouted love mes

first she refused 10 stir, but after
Anne and Max had tried and failed.

Selma was in awful shape-which
she was, as TO temper-and that she
had thrown mustard plaster AZ

So Bella went, grumbling. and jim
was a maniac. We had not thought IL
would be so bad for Bella, but Aunt
Selma fell asleep soon after she took

slept for three hours and never let
go.

NO CLUE TO THE
JEWELS STOLEN
Former Mrs. Marshall Field,
Jr., Victim of Peculiar and
Bold Theft 4

New York, Feb. 27-The federal au-
thorities and the local police alike
have interested themselves today in
the continued search for the almost
priceless jewelry stolen from the cabi.
net drawer in the stateroom Of Mrs.
Baldwin Drummond, formerly Mrs.
Marshall Field, Jr.. Of Chicago on the
liner Amerika some time during Sat-
urday night. Mrs. Drummond says
that in money the pearls were valued
at $4,000. but considers them worth
far in excess of that sum to her per-
sonally. The search of the steamer
failed to reveal a clue to the Jewels
or the identity Of the person who
took them. If the gems were carried
off the ship, the method is as much
a mystery as the robbery itself and
must, the detectives say, have been
accomplished by the most adroit
smuggler. 1t is possible the valuables
are concealed in some part of the big
vessel and with this possibility in
view, it will be searched from stern
to stem today.

For severan months past it has

tives of the American meat trust

sibly with the object of extending it's

1909, and on Aug. 1, 1910 with gov
ernment bonds for $25,O00.
When draft from the company
reached Bismarck for the cash which
was replaced by the government
bonds, the committee states that
Bickford drew on various of the state
repositories for $25,0OO using state
money with which to take up such
draft instead of using the hail in
surance company's cash. The $685.
900 government bond was carried as
cash till Dec. q, 1910, when it was
replaced by purported certificates of
deposit on the First State bank of
fee till Jan. 10. 1911 when the trans
fer of the Office from Mr.. Bickford to
Gunder Olson was made.
There is no record in the state
treasurer's ONCE showing the receipt
of the cash from the insurance COM
pany to replace the certificates of de-
post originally placed in the hands
Of the treasurer.
1t is shown that on January 3 there
were $4,000 worth of demand certifi-
Gates and $40,43811 worth of time
certificates on the First State bank
of Bowbells in the Office, and that
this amount sets off the government
bonds belonging to the State Farm
ers' Mutual Hail Insurance company.
When the purported certificates of
deposit were taken up Jan. 10, 1911,
Mr. Bickford paid the state $547 in
interest, 1913 of which amount was
paid under protest. 1t is the opinion
of the investigating committee that
the state lost great deal more than
$547 by the wrongful use of the state
cash by Mr.. Bickfcrd.

Opposition to J. c. Stafford-Will Be
Vacancy In Office of Overseer.

The annual town meeting will be called
to order by Moderator II. d. Holton in
Festival hall at o'clock next Tuesday
morning The first article is to see
whether licenses for the sale of intoXi-
eating liquor shall be granted. This ques
ton will be decided by ballot under the
Australian system and the ballot boxes
will be turned at 3 o'clock. After the
voting begins the 90 other articles in the
warrant will be taken up. The work of
choosing candidates for town office has
been pursued vigorously this week, par
ticularly in West Brattleboro, where sew
eral meetings have been held. The term
of Selectman ]. G.. Stafford expires this
year. Early this week about 80 West
Brattleboro voters met in Academy hall
and decided to put Warren L. Walker in
the field in opposition to Mr.. Stafford.
Later it was deemed best to run Walter
NJ Robbins, but this morning sentiment
consented to be candidate, 1t being I'M
derstood that Mr.. Robbins is agreeable to
this arrangement.
Hiram f. Weatherhead has announced
that he will not serve another year as
overseer of the poor, and choice has been
made of DR.. G., B. Hunter of West Brat
tleboro, who would serve If elected.
There has been some talk of running
Russell II. Briggs for the office of road
commissioner, and Mr. Briggs says that
while he is not seeking the office he
would serve If elected. Little opposition
to Road Commissioner d. r. Perry is
heard, but the voters might decide to
elect two road commissioners. There has
been no activity in regard to the other
town offices.
