dull colors under his fingers. He

air that had drifted across the garden
when he had stood with Shirley by
the sun-dial, in the moment of their

the tender melody seemed the dear
ghost of that embrace. At length he
went into the library and in the Grim

and began to write:

had its beginning and its ending.
He opened and read.
For an instant he stared unbeliev-

ball in his clutched hand, and he made
a hoarse sound which was half cry,
then sat perfectly still, his whole face
shuddering. What he crushed in his
hand was no note of tender love

The staggering contretemps struck
the color from his face and left every
nerve raw and quivering. To be moth

Thereafter he sat looking into the
growing dusk. watching the pale
lamps of the consultations deepen to
green gilt against the lapis-lazuli of

noises dulling into the woven chorus
of evening. Uncle Jefferson was long
in returning, and he grew impatient
finally and began to prowl through the
dusty corridors like a leopard, then
to the front porch and finally to the
driveway, listening at every turn for
the familiar slouching step.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or Is
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note results.
Here is good test worth trying First
weigh yourself and measure yourself
Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't a question of how
you look or feel or what your friends
say and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can easily
add from five to eight pounds in the first
fourteen days by following this simple
direction. And best of all, the new flesh
stays put.
Sargol does not Of itself make fat, but
mixing with your food, 1t turns the fats,
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten into rich, ripe fat producing nour-
pares it in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accapet. All
this nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol stops the
waste and does It quickly and makes the
fat producing contents of tn every same
meals you are eating now develop pounds
and pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleasant,
efficient and inexpensive. Bowditch-

will come before the next Legislature
to appropriate money for this purpose.
In preparing the collection of mount
ed fish Curator James is using a meth
cd comparatively new in this section
of the country. In the past the fish
ghave been mounted directly on wood
and this has proved to be very unsat-
isfactory because the fish shrink in
dry weather and in damp weather
they draw moisture and blister. Ac-
cording to the new method the curator
makes a plaster or glue mold from the
fish and then makes cast of the mold
in wax, so that the specimen exhibit
ed is not in reality the fish but is a
wax image of the fish. The secret of
the process is in getting the wax to
the right consistency and this Mr..
James has accomplished to a fine de-
gree. similar method is being used
almost entirely at the American mu-
seu of Natural History at New York
Mr. James has already prepared
about a dozen specimens of fish in this
experience could tell these casts from
the original fish. rs the color of the
fish the same?" is sometimes asked.
Few people realize that all fish which
are mounted for the museum collection
are painted before mounted. So in
either method depends on the artist
whether the fish is true to color.

A Railroad Petition

The State Board of Railroad Com
nnissioners received Wednesday morn
ing a petition from the Rockland,
South Thomaston and st. George In
which the railroad represents that it
has built and is operating it's road in
to the town of South Thomaston from
the line of Rockland, which portion has
already been approved by the Commits
sion. The petitioner further represents
that it is DESTROYS of extending. con-
structing, maintaining and operating
its road into the city of Rockland. that
1t has already located it's proposed ex-
tension into Rockland as is shown on a
map accompanying the petition.
The line of the proposed extension is
as follows: commencing at station o,
the end of it's present line near the
line Of Rockland; thence to the North
ward along South Main street, so call
ed, to private way, known as South
street; thence Eastward along South
street across the railroad location of
the Maine Central Railroad to Suffolk
street; thence along Suffolk street
Northward to Ocean street; thence
across Ocean street to Water street,

Main street; thence by Main street
Northerly to a point near Park street.
Commencing again in said location at
a point near the foot of Myrtle street;
thence Westward along Myrtle street;
to the Maine Central Railroad depot
The location crosses the location and
tracks Of n branch Of the Maine Cen
trail Railroad on South street near
station % plus 40. 1t also crosses the
track Of the Rockland, Thomaston and
Camden Street Railway on Main
street near station 81 plus 4S at the
foot Of Myrtle street and also at Union

The petitioner prays for authority
to extend and operate its road into
Rockland. The petition seeks for the
approval Of the above location and
prays that the board will authorize the
crossings Of the railroads. and will de-
termine the manner and conditions of
such crossings, and also in such por-
lions as the line of the petitioner par
allels the line Of the Rockland, Thorn

determine the distance that shall sep

Constellation or Comfort?

There can be neither comfort nor
good health where constipation exists.
Most people suffer from this cause at
intervals, many are chronic victims.
Strangely enough, the old time
remedies for this very common COM
plant were nauseating doses and so
powerful that they often made the
condition worse than before. Then
they wore out in their effect so that
1t was necessary to take a larger and
larger dose. The first attempts at
improvement sought to make the dose
more palatable but to disguise the
taste the size was increased and re-
suits were unsatisfactory.
In this age of progress it was i'm
possible that doses resembling horse
medicine should continue to be taken
by human beings. In the new laxative,
Pinklets, is presented a dainty, sugar.
coated pin, hardly larger than a grain
of mustard, that is free from unpleas-
ant effects, does not upset the stom-
ach nor grippe but simply gives nature

assist digestion and are good to take
after a full meal. Once use Pink
lets and you will never return to salts,

The troubles of the Progressive party
in Maine continue to multiply, in spite
of the recent visit of Col Roosevelt to
this State and the now somewhat ia
NOUS case of whose name shall go on
the ballot as the Progressive candidate
for representative to the Legislature
from the Van Buren, class has, as ex-
pected, got into the courts. Secre-
tary of State ]. E. Alexander wednes-
day was served with papers by Deputy
Sheriff Weston Lewis citing the secre-
tary to appear at a hearing on Wednes-
day, August &c, on petition of
Fortunat o. Michaud of Van Buren,
asking that a writ of mandamus be
issued compelling the secretary of
State to place Michaud's name on the
official ballot, instead of the name Of
Leyite V. Thibodeau, now on the ballot
according to the advice and opinion of
the attorney generals office.
The case arises out of the fact that
two men filed nomination papers for
that office. The law does not pro-
vide any course of action to be taken
by the secretary of State in such cases
and he asked for an opinoin from the
attorney general. being advised that
all custom had had been to place the
first filed name on the ballot. This
custom the secretary of State followed,
in the absence of any precedent under
the new law, and placed the name OF
Thibodeau on the ballot.
1t appears that Mr.. Michaud is stld
not satisfied with the method of dis
posing of his nomination papers and
begins legal proceedings to substan-
tiate his claim of right to have his
name on said ballot.
The hearing will take place at the
court house in Augusta on Wednesday,
the 26th day of August. before Justice
or the Supreme Court A. NJ. Spear.
