Mrs. Nancy Beach.

1t was not altogether a surprise for
our community to learn that Mrs.
Beach had passed on into life and
rest. For several years she had been
in failing health, and for many weeks
very i'll indeed. She was born in
Glover, Dec. 10, 1855, and died in
Barton Saturday morning at 4:20.
Jan. IA, 1911. She was the faithful
wife of A. M. Beach. They had two
children, Frank, who lived to grow up
to young manhood but was cut down
in the midst of life full of promise,
and a daughter, Lennie NJ, the
deceased wife of Geo. L. Merriam,
who passed away nearly one year
ago. For many years Mr.. and Mrs.
Beach lived in West Glover. They
moved to Barton village nearly two
years ago to the John Teller farm
which they purchased. Last May
they sold this home and bought a
farm on the road to Orleans. Through
all the SORROWS that came and through
all her sickness she showed great
strength of character. Her faith, and
spirit of cheerfulness and patience
never wavered. She was neighborly
and sympathetic and helpful to those
about her, and those who worked as
hired help or the farm or in the home
speak of her in the highest words Of
praise. She was devoted to her
home, making.it place Of cheer anC
rest and blessing. She was a mem
ber of the Congrega ational church,
adorning her profession by hel
beautiful Christian life. Through
all her sickness her trust in God was
a source Of great strength and com
fort. She was not afraid Of death fol
she knew beyond was light and life
The funeral was conducted by hel
pastor, Rev w. A. Warner of the
CongregatIon church OF Barton
Many flowers were sent, some from
friends long distance away, to carr,
a message of sympathy to the friend
left to mourn, "a beautiful token O

OUR LEGISLATIVE LETTER
Senate Kills Direct Inheritance Tax Bill
The House Amends the Normal School
BIZ Beyond Recognition.

The small towns themselves have
furnished the hest possible argument
for reaprortionment of representa-
tives according to population. Last
week the representatives from the
small towns, whose aggregate popula-
tion could not have exceeded 25 per
cent of the total population of the
state, outvoted the other IS per cent.
When the bill came up for passage
certain interests who did not care for
direct primaries started the cry Of
"Wolf! Wolff" to the effect that the
small towns would lose their repre-
sentation under such system.
Enough members whose political hori-
zon has been limited to rounding up
voters and delegates from their own
towns responded 10 the cry and cast
the votes that stood in the way of Ver-
mont's progress toward purity in poll
ties. 1t ought to be enough to say IN
favor of the bill that sucn respected
people as Roosevelt, Hughes, Gov.
Foss, Speaker Walker of the Massa-
chusetts legislature and scores of 9TH
er national leaders are for it and that
in our own state such respected lead
ers as Frederick G. Fleetwood and
Hon F. w. Gibson were present to
lend their aid to the passage of the
] bill. In the house the bill was sup
ported by such men as Amey of
Brighton, Barron of Barton, Bates of
Derby. Bean of Newport. Battell of
Middlebury. Billings of Woodstock,
Bovce of Waterbury, Bryant of Lud-
low. Calderwood of st. Johnsbury,
Cave of Barre, Chaffee of Rutland.
Elliott Of Hartford, Fletcher Of Cav
endish, Catchell of Charleston, Hatch
/ of Strafford, Howe of Bennington,
Hunt Of New Haven, Maun of st. Al
bans. Miller Of Bethel, Page Of Hyde
Park, Peck Of Burlington, Rowland Of
! Pouitney, Stone of Wallingford,
! Wall of Dorset, Webster of Swanton,
and enough others to make up 107
votes. Every one Of these men named
is recognized in the house for his
honor and worth to the state. Among
the opponents Of the bill but three
could possibly be classed as leaders
and they were Cory Of ntpeher,
Wright Of Westminster and Burbank
of Cabot.

CHAPTER VI.
Rod Dawn,

Presently Amber rose and quietly
exchanged dressing gown and slippers
for his own shooting jacket and boots
which by now were dry. thanks to
Doggott's thoughfulness In placing
them near the fire.
The shabby tin clock had droned
through 80 minutes since Rutton had
spoken his last word. In that inter.
val, sitting face to face, and for lit
tie time hand in hand, with the man
to whom he had pledged his honor,
Amber had thought deeply, carefully
weighing ways and means; nor did he
move until he believed his plans ma.
ture and definite.
But before he could take one step
toward redeeming his word to Rut-
ton, he had many cares to dispose Of.
In the hut. Rutton lay dead Of poison;
somewhere among the dunes the babu
lay in his blood, shot to death-foully
murdered, the world would say.
Should these things become known, he
would be detained indefinitely In No
komis as a witness-if, indeed, he es-
capped graver charge.
1t was, then, with mind burdened
with black anxiety that he went to
arouse Doggott.
"Mr. Rutton is dead, Doggott," he
managed to say with some difficulty.
Doggott exclaimed beneath his
breath. "Dead!" he cried in tone Of
daze. In two strides he had left Am.
ber and was kneeling by Rutton's
side. The most cursory examination.

Then, reverently. they took up the
body and laid It out upon the ham.

limbs and closing the eyes before
spreading a sheet over the rigid form.
And now, what, Mr.. Amber?" he
asked.
