The law of Rhode Island which pro- v1des that no child under fourteen years of age shall be employed at work of any description probably did not anticipate the caddy boys on golf links, where the little fellows were there for the pleasure and healthy recreation as well as for the money there is in it- But 1t has long since been determined that law was ex- plScit and not legally elastic. A rep resentative of the Rhode Island fac tory inspectors office visited the Mis- ouanicut Golf grounds Wednesday, and made inquiries in regard to the ages of the boys employed there and those suspected of being under the ars of fourteen were ordered to pro- duce thefr birth certificates on Thurs day. or quit their jobs. In conse- quence Town Clerk Whipple issued the required certificates to a number of tbe caddy boys.
 Several of the boys have been dis barred by reason of the age provision of the law. Among them is one bright little fellow who is just thirteen. but who has enjoyed the pleasure of the links for two seasons. He has earned
 money enough to clothe himself through the year and also to have a little money in the bank to his credit He was keenfy affected when told that he could work no more this sea- noa, but when assured that he would be welcomed back to the links a year hence his little burden of grief was ilghtered

questioned, rendered doubtful by my
silence. 'Is not this Captain Wayne?"
There is no mistake" :" I hastened to
assure her, 'but had anticipated
from our last meeting a far less cor

"Oh," she exclaimed, with a light
laugh, "and is that all? Yet surely, if
I was to believe my own eyes l was
perfectly justified in my actions then.

that probably the first signs of return
