two feet long by sixteen inches vide,

Simon Jefferson might be fifty, but he
still had n nose for roses.
Old Mira. Jefferson was present, and
from her wheel.chair bright eyes read
much that dull ears missed. How

was always her spoiled boy.
Mrs. Gregory called through the
trumpet, Il believe Fran has given

Old Mrs. Jefferson beamed upon
Fran and added her commentator:

pushed, and pulls me when ] want to
be pulled"
Fran clapped her hands like child,
indeed. "Oh, what a gay old world!'
she cried There are so many people

such energy that ner skirts threat

who says that her father, when a
young man, went to live with cousin

And she says that her fathers father
was a rich man-Just as yours was
and that the cousin is dead-just as
yours Is"
Al these piercing words, Gregory
bowed his head TO conceal his agta-
ton. Could It be possible that she
had guessed all and yet, in spite Of all,
could use that tone OF kindness? II
burst upon him that II he and she
could hold this fatal secret in common.

Just like the play In Hamlet Fran
said half-aloud And now that the
inside play is over, guess It's time
for old Ham to be doing something
Mrs. Jefferson gripped the arms OF
her wheel.chair and resumed her tale,
as II she had not been interrupted 1t
was of no interest as Il story, yet pos
sessed sentimental value from the
fact that all the characters save the
raconteur were dead. and possibly all
but her forgotten. Fran loved to hear
the old lady evoke the shades OF long
ago. shades who would never again
assume even the palest manifestation
to mortals, when this old lady had
gone to join them.
Usually Fran brought her back
with gentle hand, but today she d.
vined subterfuge; the tale was meant
to hide Mrs. Jefferson's real feelings
Fran ventured through the trumpet;
Il wish there was man-secretary

Fran was not unmindiul OF gram

She knew there was no such word an

her teeth, each little pearl meeting q

of the force of physical ejectment
Behind large spectacle lenses,
sparks flashed from Mrs. jefferson s
eyes. She shifted battle. But her

she lacked both Fran's teeth and
Fran's intrepidty. One steps eau

Fran comprehended The old lady
must not let It be suspected that she
was aware of Gregory's need OF cotton
in 'straining ears, such as had saved
Ulysses from siren voices. The pre-
tense Of observing no danger kept the
fine old face uncommonly grim.
Little girls shouldn't fight" was
her discreet rejoinder. Then leaning
over the wheel. she advanced her
snow.white head to the head OF coal
black. Better not stir up dragons.
Fran threw back her head and
| laughed denantly Bring on your

not one OF EN- I'm afraid Of" She
extended one leg and stretched forth
her arm "Ill say to the Dragon

her dragon TO humiliation.

THE FACTS OF THE FIGHT
 ON MEIGEN IN A NUTSHELL
(From Boston Truth,


 The state of mind of the man who commits financial suicide must be something awful. William B. Law renee is not entitled to pity, and yet one cannot help feeling that he has been sufficiently punished. He is the owner of 15,000 shares of Boston & Maine stock, which, as the financier of the anti-MelIen agitation, he helped to beat down to the lowest point in its history. A few years ago MT. Lawrence might have sold his stock for $16O a share. He demanded $210 a share MT Mellen refused to pur- chase at that price, and for this re- fusaI the dogs of war were let loose upon him and his railroad properties. MT Lawrence is said to have spent S25,ooo or $3O,0O0 a year for several years in fighting MT. Allen. Add that to the nearly $2,OOO,000 represented by the drop in the price of his Bos- ton & Maine stock, and then imagine what pleasure he must derive from the havoc that his railroad wreckers have caused. How would you feel If you had unwittingly set fire to your own house, in the beief that you were getting square with your most hated enemy, and were then forced to stand and watch it burn?

 Consolidation in Norwalk.
 Ten years ago-Norwalk and South Norwalk began their fight on the con solidation question and on Wednes- day afternoon the struggle was con tinued in the hall of the House at Hartford before the committee on Git ies and Boroughs. - Now there are three factions in the two places and perhaps if it is not settled once and for all another session will see a more complex situation with four or pos stblv more factions There were those who favored consolidation, those against and those who favored a dfT1s- ion into two separate towns. The first two were in the greater numbers.
 Loss by Fire.
 Starting near the boiler in the base ment and spreading to an afr-shaft, whence it spread through the building. fire damaged the B apartments block of Dr. Amos J. Givens, in Stamford, Tuesday evening. There is no def1n- ite inforna ton on the loss, but it Is estimated from s1o, 600 to $20, 600.

REBELS
Are Stronger in Mexico Than
Ever and Civil War
Grows Worse.

MEXICo CITY, Mex, Feb. T.
Almost en- a par with the an
ment of Deputy Luis Cabrera, that
Mexico faced civil war for at least
three years to come, were declara-
tons made by a number of deuties
recently as to the extent of the rev.
foluticn now in progress. One dep
uty, speaking on the measure to au-
thorize special elections in states
where at the regular time they
could not be held on account of the
disturbed conditions, declared that
the conditions now we're worse, and
that in Durango the rebels were in
absolute control, almots to the gates
OF the state capial. He cited other
places and conditions which, he de-
clared were equally bad. His state
ments were supported.

BATTALION
Of West Virginia Troops May
Attend the Inauguration
of Wilson.

Adjutan. General Elliott has re-
Iceived an invitation asking that this
state have representation Of sol
oilers at the inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson and Vice President
Marshall. General Elliott expects to
be able to send at least one battalion
of his best trained men to partlci-
pate in the event and viii have that
battalion accompanied by band,
probably that located at Martins
burg SO that the expense Of trans
portatica will be reduced.
t will be necessary for the legis-
laturo to provide an appropriation
for this purpose. but it is believed
the lawmakers will very readily look
after pay for these troops who will
do credit to the state and to the sol
diery representing West Virginia.
The fact is generally known that
West Virginia soldiers are among
the best disciplined stat soldiers in
the country. and are right now in as
fit training as even the regular
troops.

PENNY
Postage is Shown by a Sta
tistical Report to Be
Very Large.

LONDON, England, Feb. IL
Sir Hennilker Heaton, who was
largely responsible for the introduce
ton of penny postage between the
Colonies and Great Britain and be-
tween England and America, has been
gathering statistics which show that
last year $35,OOO,OOO was received in
the United Kingdom from America
and the Colonies in money orders.
Some of this money, Of course, was
in payment for goods, but Sir Henni-
ker estimates that by far the larger
portion was sent as Christmas or
other presents from those who have
prospered across the waters to poorer
relatives at home.
From the United States alone there
came over $14,OOO,o0O, OF which $5,-
100000 wa7 for ireland. Canada sent
$11,5OO,OOO, Australia $2,5OO,OOO, Indi2
$1,7OO,OOO, New Zealand $1,2OO,OOO,
South Africa $4,0OO,0OO and other
places about $1,5OO,OOO.
