The stranger, his business conclud-

quilted the Office. Mr.. Saul, bending
above his desk, was making an entry

mo; he came into the county about
ten years ago, and bought a place
called The Oaks"
HAS he-a family?" The Judge APP
peared to be having difficulty with
his speech.
Not that anybody knows OF. Some
say he's a widower, others again say
he's an old bachelor; but he don't
say nothing The colonels got his
friends, to be sure, but he don't mix
much with TIE real quality. One or
his particular intimates is a gentle
man by the name Of Murrell."
The Judge nodded.

Acting on a sudden impulse, the
Judge muttered something about re-
turning later, and hastily quilted the

In the hall the judges steps dragged

Damn him-may God-for ever
damn him!" he cried under his
breath. in a fierce whisper.
They finished supper, the dishes
were cleared away and the candles
lighted, when the judge produced a
mysterious leather-covered case. This
he opened. and Mahaffy and Hannibal
saw that 1t held handsome pair OF
dueling pistols.

quietly. as he began to load them.
Norton had ridden down to Belle
Plain ostensibly to view certain OF

DO you think Belle Plain is ever
going to look as it did, Charley?-as
we remember 1t when we were chill,
dren?" asked Betty.
why of course, it is, dear, you are
doing wonders!"
Ware stalked toward them. Hav.
ing dined with Betty as recently as
the day before, he contented himself
with a nod in her direction. His
greeting to Norton was a more am.
bilious undertaking.

ly disappointed when the planter
manifested a disposition to play the
host and returned to the house with
them, where his presence was such
a hardship that Norton shortly tool
his leave.
Issuing from the lane he turned his
face in the direction of home. He
was within two miles of Thicket Point
when, passing a turn in the road, he
found himself confronted by three
men. One of them seized his hors,

Life withau, Mierohs..

Microbes are not Indispensable TO all
life il they are indispensable to any.
The question has been definitely set
tied. A cage completely steriltzed at
30 degrees was made and the open
ings of the cage closely stopped with
cotton and protected from the outside
by Theoretically closed metallic cham
Der. Such manipulations as were nee
essary In opening the cage were made
by hands guarded by aseptic rubber
cloth. Into such sterilized cage three
hens eggs were placed after having
been externally sterilized- The cage
was fitted with glass pavilion or
chicken run, where the chickens could
develop during their six weeks sojourn
In the cage. Ia the cage were sterilized
air, pure water. sterilized sand and
sterilized feed The experiment showed
that life does not depend upon mi
erobes. but that the vital work Of the
organism Is easy and natural when
everything Is sterilized.-Harper's

that Mr.. Peters has had Mr.. Burleigh's
support in his candidacy for the speaker
ship. The truth OF the matter is that Mr..
Burleigh has taken no part in the
speskership contest. Some % those
closely connected with him, personal
friends OF other candidates for this posi-
ton. have indeed worked in the interest
OF other men than Mr.. Peters. To Mr..
Burieigh Mr.. Peters owes nothing in this
respect and those with any knowledge OF
political affairs in Maine know that this is
true.
Mr.. Peters has. we are informed, the
pledged support OF the representatives
from those counties where the ball moose
vote was the largest and where the bull
moose strength is supposed TO lie. He il
being supported tor speaker. as we under
stand it, by men OF progressive lesnings
as well as By men who are proud OF the
tact that they are loyal republicans, all of
whom. however, were elected on COM
mon platform, and who are pledged to
carry oat the promises made to the people
in that platform. These men believe that
with John A. Peters As speaker Of the
House they can make good their promises
TO the people of this State and for this res-
son they have pledged him their support.
The men OF Aroostook county who may
have voted for Roosevelt in November
when Peters voted for Ta.t have no desire
to throw aside man whose ability and
integrity they are familiar with and whom
they know can he relied upon to unite the
anti-democratic strength In the legisls-
ture and enable the republicans to carry
out the promises they made the people of
this State.
This is exactly what 1t should be. Mr.
Peters cannot be elected speaker of the
incoming House without the votes OF
these representatives who may have sup
ported Roosevelt in November, support
which he has been promised and which ne
will undoubtedly receive. To attack
viciousIy this man who saw fit to stand by
the republican party and republican prin-
ciples because be believed them to be right
will avail the Lewiston journal nothing.
With as much justice might an attack be
made on senator Carl Milliken. OF Aroos-
took county. candidate for president OF
the Senate, who voted for Roosevelt in
November, but who will stand firm for
the carrying out of the principles laid
down in the State republican platform,
and who viii lend his great experience
and ability in the Senate to seeing that
these promises are kept.
The repub licans who voted for Taft do
not want to see Senator MiIiiken eiirni-
mated as president of the Senate because
be did not see tit to vote for him in Nov
ember. They are not engaged in punish
ing anyone. and will not be party to
any such program. The presidential cam
paign is over, but the obligation to carry
out the platform pledges to the people Of
| Maine remains.
/ Miliiken and Peters can together greatly
assist in doing this, and that Is what
every fair minded and honorable republic
| can in this state is anxious should be
done.

MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM.
Processes by Which II Is Converted
Into Refined Oil.

In its original state petroleum liz Of q
murky green color. II Is distilled in
pans with great furnaces blazing be-
meath them. aud as the yapors arise
from the boiling liquid they are con-
veyed into pipes surrounded by cold
water in which they are condensed.
The first vapors condease into naph-
tha and those produced by further
heating give the burning oil. A very
small percentage of the crude oil put
into the pans or stills remains In the
form OF tar, which by another process
Is converted into parafiln and coke.
After distiilation the refined oil is no
longer green, but is as transparent as
spring water and beautifully tinged
with puppies and blues II Is not yet
ready for use, however. since II must
be washed" The fluid Is emptied into
a large circular tank in which II IL
treated with acids. these being poured
In and mixed with IL by means Of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When IL has been well shaken II Is
allowed TO settle, and the acids then
separate from 1T and sink to the bot
tom Of the tank, taking with them
some of the tar that remained In the
oil
The acids are then removed and the
oil is washed with salt water. Finally
II is bleached. and II Is then ready for
the market--Harper's Weekly.

OBITUARY.
CHARLOTTE Any pErKRs.


The death Ia waltham, Mass, on DEC.
|, OF Mrs. George s. Peters. an event
touching so closely a iHrge circle OF
friends in Ellsworth, requires more than
formal notice.
She was born la Haiioweli, February u.
is2l, the daughter OF william and Eiixs-
beth tBidwelil Clark. Mr.. Clark was for
many years prominent attorney of Ken
nebec county. There were in Mrs. Peters
immediate family three girls and one boy,
ons OF whom "a sister, sione survives.
On October q, isas, Miss Clark became
the wife OF George \. Peters, CSC. OF Ellis
worth, with whom She lived most happily
until his death on their marriage anni-
versary in 1881. Two daughters were born
TO them Elizabeth and Mary, the younger
OF whom afterwards married William
Drury, a we'll known lawyer OF Wsithaua,
Mass.
Mrs. Peters life In Ellsworth was a
happy and mzny-sided one. Her husband
occupied enviable position both st the
bar and in the social life OF his native
community; their friends were legion;
and the social tastes Of both drew about
them large circle of people of like In
terests whose friendship Mrs. Peters re-
tanned to her latest day.
Her capacity for keeping the love OF
those who had ever known her intimately
was one OF her most charming character
istics. She was very musical, and for
many years was the orgsnist of the First
Congregational church OF this city, In
which she retained membership until
death.
She became a member OF this church In
1871, and her interes. in its welfare never
wsvered- She did not desire TO remove
her membership from IT during the many
years of her residence elsewhere because
the tender tie which il maintained with
the city which she loved SO wall was too
precious to be sundsred.
Her religious life Was innate; coioring
and shaping her character In many ways,
There was a sweetness In her whole rels-
tion TO the world which few possess. In
stinctiveIy courteous, she made herself
felt in any company, not by assertion, but
by exhsling genial and womanly charm
which won instantly and held finally.
Her maternal instincts were powerfully
developed; extending themselves not only
to her own children, but to others who
might need her notheriy care. Her in
fiuence over her children has been Illus
trated in beautiful fashion during her
residence with them. She has been the
very heart of that household. A tender
difference to her has been the loving habit
OF each within the home circle. The de-
| vosion of them ali has been as rare as ii
| has been touching.
Some TWO years ago Mrs. Peters lost her
sight almost completely; bat in the face
OF this affection her patient fsithfulness
did not waver. Gradually her hearing
| dulied; but the inner life went on sweet
and inspirstionsl to the last.
And SO, full of years and honor, sur
rounded By the care and thought OF her
loved ones, she heard the voice of the
Master and fell asleep. s'Her works do
follow her"
