when Ephriam returned to the
room below, he placed the candle on
the table, drew up a chair seated him.
self and opened the bag. He found
that It contained nothing but papers
which concerned themselves wholly
with dry business details. All he gath
cred from his perusal OF them was
that they had belonged to a certain
Stephen Landray.
He saw that the papers were OF no
actual value. and feeling convinced of
this fact he was conscious OF an I'm
mense sense OF relief; he could with
hold them. and no one would sufer
because of his act.
He wondered II this Landray had
been In any way involved In what ne,
in common with all Mormons, was
wont to style the persecution or the
church.; for he believed just as other
Mormons believed, that those inveter'
ate enemies OF the saints who had dip

chosen people, were doomed to q
swift and terrible punishment. Such

Benson was not mistaken. He had
achieved permanent place In vir.
ginia Landray's regard. She had
definitely accepted him, and In the
exact degree In which he had wished
he might be accepted. She came to
rely on him as she relied on no one
else; his words, his opinions, always
on the one momentous subject of Ste.
phen's return, had weight with her.
He took her such maps as he could
find, and together they followed the

starts oil new year in good circum'
stances, perhaps in better circumstance
than ever before. However, the mem
bcrship might be increased TO 500 in a
city of the size OF Barre; and, there
fore, il should be one aim OF the organi.
zation during the ensuing year to retain
all the members now enrolled and to
add to that number until half a thou.
sand shall have joined their efforts in
the general purpose for the betterment
of Barre. With such number back
of the organization, il would be pos
sible to be a much more effective agency
toward that betterment, because of the
direct support that would be rendered.
However, the dollars which the new
members would bring into the treasury,
coupled with the annual dues of those
already enrolled, would swell the re.
ceipts so that many desirable publicity
plans might be put into operation, not
the least of which is the idea of having
a paid worker, or publicity agent, whose
sole duties should be directed toward
inducing new industries to locate in
Barre and toward doing other things TO
promote the prosperity of the city, as
suggested last night by President
Phelps. "A town boomer of the right
stamp is what Barre ought to have,
and this means not person to stir up
fictitious values in real estate, etc, but
rather person to give the city solid
growth along recognized lines. 1t is
to be hoped that before long Barre can
have such a representative. Helping
along the Board of Trade at this time
will do much toward bringing about that
desired result Therefore, continued and
added support of the organization dur
ing the ensuing year is very necessary.
