In the summer and fall Of 1918, Mr.. Guy
Wilson. the Town Clerk of Bethel. and
Wallace Batchelder, a practising law
yer of the same town, found that the
removal from town of the Patrol leader
of the BOY Scouts had left the boys of
the community temporarily without a
leader in their out-of-doors activities,
and each having two sons, decided that
there ought to be some scheme devised
to interest tho boys in out-of-doors life.
under some kind Of leadership and In
way that would insure enjoyment and
the requirement Of useful Information
by the boys.
Mr.. Wilson who is an authority on the
early history of the town and the north
part OF Windsor County and part Of
Orange County, and who is graduate
Of Dartmouth College in the Engineer

Petersburg people are there it
would be interesting to look it up.
Recently Miss Roger visited the
studio of an elderly woman, who
is one of the Nell-known New
York artists. After few minutes
conversation the artist went to the
telephone and calling up another
artist, asked:
"Do you want a model for a
perfect mouth?"
Then she added:
every well. I'll bring the young
lady to see you "
She was forthwith engaged to
pose for this artist, who has an
international reputation a n d
paints the portraits of European
lords and ladies, who come to
New York for the slttlngS.
Miss Roger has had the pleas
ure of watching the progress of
the work of preparing models for
the Fountain of Abundance"
that is being made for the Pana-
ma exposition in San Francisco.
The fountain will be surrounded
by Is symbolical figures, six feet
high, and will represent the
highest development of the sculp-
tors art.
Miss Hazel Rowland, another
well-known st. Petersburg girl
is with Miss Roger in New York,
where she is engaged in the
study Of music.

Vera Roger, Former
Fitzgerald Girl Makes
A Hit In New York
Her Beauty Her Fortune

Miss Vera Rover, who spent her
childhood days in Fitzgerald but
removed to ST. Petersburg, Fla.
some years ago has made a decid.
ed hit among New York's artists
according to the Independent of
st. Petersburg.
''The many friends in St. Peters
burg of Miss Vera Roger will be
glad to hear of her success in New
York City in a rather unusual
field-at least unusual for girls
from this part of the country. In
the early part of last summer Miss
Roger went to New York to visit
her brother, who lives just outside
of the city. She possesses a most
unusual type of beauty-a face of
pureSt outline, with long, narrow
eyes. almost JapaneSque and very
dark, with a dreamy expression;
but the chief beauty of her face
lies in the absolutely perfect out
lines of the mouth. Through the
Influence of friends IN New York
Miss Roger met some of the lead
ing artists of the country-Charles
Dana Gibson, Underwood, Busch
man and others who quickly
recognized the possibilities in a
face OF such unusual beauty; and
she was immediately engaged to
pose for studies of heads that these
artists are constantly making for
magazine covers and other popular
illustrations.
The April numbers of some OF
the leading magazines will bear
Miss Rogers head in different
poses. One famous portrait artist
who never engages model to pose
for him, because his portraits are
ali painted from life, was so pleas
ed with Miss Rogers face that she
is now posing for a portrait head
which he is painting for the spring
ex h i b It at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. The picture will
be named Vera" and if any St.

Natures Wise Process.

In the case of all fish which take care
OF their young, curious adaptation Of
natural law to circumstances is found.
THOSE which take the greatest pains
and care in sheltering their offspring
have the fewest eggs, perhaps less
than 100 at a lay, while, on the other
hand, species of fish which pay not the
slightest attention to their young pro-
duce hundreds of thousands, and even
millions of eggs, at a single lay.

He went down into his pocket and
brought out buckskin sack, from
| which he handed over piece of we'll
worn quartz
That's the rock" he said. "She
runs four hundred dollars to the ton
and the ledge is eight inches wide be-
tween the walls. Nice ore, Ell? And
she lays between shale and porphyry."
His eyes sparkled as he carefully
replaced the specimen, and then he
looked up at Bud.
I'll let you in on that" he said,
half and half-or I'll paw two hundred
dollars a month and bonus. You
alone Now how about it,"
For moment Hooker looked at him
as if to read his thoughts, then he
shook his head and exhaled his smoke
regretfully.
Nope" he said. Me and Phil are
pardners. We work together"
I'll give you three hundred" cried
Kruger, half rising in his chair.
Nope" grunted Bud, we're pard-
ners."
Huh" snorted the mining man,
and flung away in disgust. But as he
neared the door new thought struck
him and he came as quickly back.
You can do what you please about
your pardner,' he said I'm talking
to you! Now-will you think about
it?"
"Sure!" returned Hooker
"Well, then" snapped Kruger, meet
me at the Waldorf in an hour!"

looms. The Waldorf was nicely fur.
nished in this regard.
After a drink at the bar, in which
De Lancey and Hooker joined, Henry
Kruger led the way casually to the
rear, and in few moments they were
safely closeted.
Now" began Kruger, as he took a
seat by the table and faced them with
swapping eyes, "the first thing want
to make plain to you gentlemen is, If
| make any deal today it's to be with
Mr.. Hooker. If you boys are partners
you can talk it over together, but
deal with one man, and that's Hooker.
"All right?" he inquired, glancing at
De Lancey, and that young man
nodded indulgently.
Every we'll, them" resumed Kruger,

mine that I'm talking about is located
down here in Sonora within three
hours ride Of a big American camp.

De Lancey laughed and turned away.

passing, he said to Bud: 60 ahead

He walked away, lighting cigarette
and smiling good-naturedly, and the
old-timer turned to Bud
That's a smart man you've got for
pardner," he remarked. "a smart
man. You want to look out" he added,

Nope said Bud. "You don't know

"A man can be straight and still get

shrewdly. Eyes, indeed" He paused
to let this bit of wisdom sink in, and

he spoke, but De Lancey was dragging
