HESSLER
NAY GET
ON GRILL

One OF the next moves that is likely
to be made in the West Hammond fight
is the impeachment of John Hessler
and certain members of the town board
1t is understood that the town rec
ords do not show that Hessler ever
qualified for office, that he was ever
legally sworn to perform the duties of
his office, that he ever gave bond.
according to law
1t is understood that these facts will
be made the grounds for ousting him
from office.
If Hessier can be ousted without de-
lay it is expected to have a salutary
effect the other members of the
board who persist in defying the wishes
of the people of West Hammond.
1t is said that Miss Virginia Brooks
has been getting at the evidence in
Hessier's case, and that probably the
most dramatic time in her career will
be the successful impeachment of the
old president of the board.

Yes it must have. been dramatic!
Did the cat also recognize him ~
She did-sne did!'' he whispered
as he came closer to her. Yes, by
George, the cat recognized him. and
that what I can't get overt We were
talking about the souls of human be-
ings passing into the bodies of animals.
when the cat awoke and jumped into
the mans lap and looked him straight
in the eyes. He stroked her back and
called her Jerry, and she meoWed and
showed by every action that she recOg-
nized him. The soul of his dead school
mate had passed into the cat, and I'll
bet thousand to one on it.''
And the idea struck you said Mrs.
Bowser as a faint smile appeared on
her fact that the soul of some of your
old chums might have passed into the
body of our own cat? 1 see what you
are getting to. Go ahead and expert
ment, but please excuse me. I've got
to run in and see Mrs. Brown for
few minutes You can tell me all about
it when I get back"

way.

sent some dear old friend OF yours, 1t
will be awfully nice. You can get lots
of pointers on TRANSPORTATION as well
as catching mice and yeowling around
on back fences. Tell me all about it

When she had departed Mr.. Bcwser
coaxed the cat to jump up into chair.
and he sat down in another and looked
her straight in the eyes. He was seek

closed her eyes and purred, and for a
minute he could not be sure whether
he had ever met her soul in any other
guise or not Then. as she opened her
eyes until they seemed to be as big as
tea saucers and drew one down in a
sort OF wink, a sudden food of mem
DRY swept over him The soul of a
red-headed boy who used to live next
door to him when he was a lad, had
passed into the cat. Moreover, that
red-headed boy used to cuff him
around and call him all sorts of names.
It all came back in an instant. It came
back to the cat as we'll. as to Mr.. Bow
ser. and she gave yeOwl and a spit
and made for safe asylum on the top
floor

whispered Mr.. BoWser, as he walked
around with an avestruck look on his
face. Yes, sir, the soul of that young
