A DEMON OF LOVE.

- "A OGhO4N VI AON LIZ
By Louise Jackson Strong.
John Blair, ST., did not sing. He
loved to listen to Helen's carol
ing, but it had not seemed a par
ticular desirable accomplishment
in a man. That was before the
advent of Junior, with his voice,
and the Quoting that had grad
ually absorbed Helen in an init
macy that had of late left little
time for himself. He growled an
nnaccustomed curse, as the sound
of voices and piano drifted out
to the veranda, where he sat,
modify smoking; then he rose
and said through the thin, sway
ing curtains: Its time we were
off, Junior"
;; Guess 1 won't go this after
noon, old fellow" the young man
replied, with a meaning glance at
his companion.
Senior noted the look, and with
out word strobe off, mounted
Witch and dashed away, caring
dittle if the half-tamed brute
flung him to his death down the
precipice that skirted the road.
Junior, but lately from college,
knew little of the mine owned in
common with, and hitherto man
aged by, his cousin, except that it
Was barely paying expenses. He
had come to believe that they
were working in the wrong direc-.
ton; that the rich vein had only
suspended in the old part which
had been abandoned before they
bought. Since his arrival he had

left without rousing Helen. She
had returned from her ride with
Junior extremely late and slipped
to bed as if careful of waking him;
and Senior had lain sleepless,
with staring eyes and set teeth,
vowing there must be an end to
it!
Hello, old fellow" Junior
greeted, cheerily, when they
met at the works; Give brought
my diagrams, and line to do some
measuring, and think, or hope,
you'll be convinced when we're
through"
Senior mumbled something as
they went below. A sudden food
of bitter hatred of his blithe
young cousin swept through him.
He heard not a word of Juniors
earnest exposition as they trav-
ersed the passages to the limit of
the old mine, where it had been,
presumably, exhausted.
"Now then, Senior, see here"
Junior stopped with cry. In the
Pickering light there glared at
him the face of a devil, malevo-
lent purpose in every rigid fea-
ture. Almost before his startled
cry escaped him, he was seized,
gagged and bound with his line
securely to one of the upright tim
bers. Then the distorted, I'M
natural face and fiery eyes mock
ed him in hideous, silent, malig-
nant triumph and he was left
helpless in the darkness.

WEATHER HURTS BUSINESS.
Another Deep Descent Of Mercury Noted
Hereabouts To-day.

The unusual persistence OF the wealth
er man in keeping the mercury down
below the zero mark is the principal sub
ject Of discussion among the stone man
ufacturers, as well as almost everyone
else whose business interests are affected
thereby. This morning the quicksilver
and spirits took fall down TO twenty
and twenty-five degrees below, and many
stonesheds about the city were closed in
consequences At Jones Bros plant, only
a few of the cutters appeared on the
scene at 7 o'clock, and it was decided
to abandon operations for the day. 9th
er shed owners had the same experience.
How long such frigid conditions will pre-
vail is getting to be a serious question,
as many of the manufacturers are al
ready facing spring orders which must
be delivered at an early date.
Farmers in the city to-day seem to
think that the zero weather at this late
stage of the winter has a portentous
bearing on the spring crop of maple
sugar Many of them maintain that the
present cold spell presages a long sea
son, with heavy flows of sap. and that
a fall of sugar snow will follow the
freeze-up..

MUTcH's SIDE PRESENTED
By His Committee. Together With Call
For Support.

To the legal voters Of the city OF
Barrel
Gentlemen, Tomorrow we hall ca st
our ballots for the election of city Off
cials for the year 1912
We have three candidates for the of
fee of mayor. One has served twelve
years on the city council as alderman
and has also served the city as overseer
OF the poor His record in both Offices
is open to the people and we have no
comment to make on ii. The other has
had no experience in civic affairs as far
as we know. The third candidate has
served two terms as mayor and his rec
ord compares more favorably with his
predecessors.
Since his first election we have wiped
ont that blot on the fair name of our
city, "city water litigation" at a cost
of less than $4,000; we have changed
the course of our river so that our
merchants cannot only breathe easier
every spring but have increased facili-
ties for doing business by the addition
of the land gained. This change is
also a great benefit to the public health
and WILL in the near future, be the
means of adding yearly to our grand
list. Main street has been greatly inn
proved by the extension of the paving
to Granite street. The condition of our
city employees in the police and fire de-
partments has been greatly improved,
and he has consistently advocated such
measures as would benefit the city en-
ployes generally. Our tax rate is be-
ing gradually reduced and never in the
history of our city have we finished
the year so well within the appropria
tions. He has never missed meeting
of the city councils and has always
been on the alert in advocating and
advancing the citys interests.
This is no time for sympathetic or
complimentary votes: it is the duty of
every citizen to register his preference.
Don't forget your duty Attend the
polls and cast your vote for the candi-
date that will attend to your interests.
In our opinion you will do so by voting
for James Mutch for mayor

The meeting was called for 1880 o'clock,
and a few minutes past seven saw near
ly every seat in the auditorium filed by
men, women and children. Later the
capacity OF the house was so taxed that
seats in the balcony were used. All
told there were probably 1000 people
who listened for over an hour to Super
intendent Barss' discussion of the tenn
perance issue from the standpoint of
criminologist. Seated on the stage with
the speaker were pastors of the different
Protestant churches in the city. Rev.
Mr.. Holt of the Baptist church led the
