swamp and the corduroy. When the
gang pulled out for the south camp
Freckles was left to guard a fortune
In the Limberlost. That he was under
guard himself those first weeks he new

Every hour was torture to the boy.
The restricted life Of a great city or
phanage was the other extreme of the
world from the Limberlost. He was
afraid for his life every minute. He
cut a stout hickory cudgel. with a
knot on the end as big as his fist. and
1t never left his hand. What he
thought In those first days he himself
could not clearly recall afterward.
His heart stood still every time he
saw the beautiful marsh grass begin a
sinuous waving against the play Of the

would. He bolted half mile with his

his wires down, and he was compelled
20 plunge knee deep into the black
swamp muck to restring them, he
could scarcely control his shaking hand
TO do the work. With every step he
felt that he would miss secure footing
and be swallowed up in that clinging
sea of blackness. In dumb agony he
plunged along, clinging to the posts

Judge Refuses to Grant a Divorce to

Franklin, Pa.-That it is the right
OF a husband to insist that his wife
keep the family's expenditures well
within his income was a rule laid
down here by Judge George s. Girls
well in refusing TO grant to Mrs. Laura
F. Sylvester, of Oil City, divorce

The wife asked for a decree on the
ground of cruelty. and at the hearing

largely financial, the husband restrict.

family to sum within his income.
In discussing this phase OF the case
Judge Criswell said:
The husband had upon him the
burden of the family maintenance.
His income, while fair, v as limited.
and 1t was only reasonable on his part
to insist that proper relation should
be maintained between such income
and the family expenses. The failure
to preserve it could result In his
humiliation and loss of caste and
standing for business integrity among
his associates and in the community.

Some Expenses Not Put Down in the
Books Are Disclosed by Wife Of
Hotel Manager

New York.-Eyery now and then
one learns something new of the New
York hotels. Mrs. Max Thompson,
Wife of the assistant manager of a
Gotham hotel, is entitled to the graft

tie light upon the duties and emolu-
ments of the hotel managers-even If
she did do the letting in because, ac-
cording to her husband, some dispute
concerning fuzzy poodle had risen
between them In her petition for ali.
mony Mrs Thompson alleges that her
husbands income is s8.400 annually.
He is paid 81 800 for his services;
Tor certain unnamed services perform
ed for hotels in Paris, Berlin and Lon
don and $1,000 by steamship lines for
procuring certain business for them. "
That happens to figure up to 10000
year, but the difference may be set
down to the difficulty which ladies no.

arithmetical facts. 1t also happens
that she does not state all the facts.

END OF WAR MAKES A

LONDON, Dec. 2.-The~ work OF
charting a new map of what hitherto
has been European-Turkey will be be-
gun Immediately after the signature
of the armistice by the plenipotenti-
aries of the Turks and allies tomorrow.
The comparatively favorable terms
which seem to have been offered to
Turkey are so different from the orig
inal proposals that they suggest the
idea that the governments of the Bal
kan league realize that with winCer
gripping the country, Turkey has
gained an ally which will prove more
fatal to the armies fronting Adrian
ople, Scutari and Tehataja than have
been the Ottoman cannon.
No adjustment of che Austro-Servian
dispute is yet visible. Vienna con-
tinues to show pessimism and the
newspapers there maintain their threat
ening attitude; but in spite of this,
official relations between st. Peters,
burg and Vienna seem to haven be-
thought in diplomatic quarters that
