Helen was uncomfortably conscious
of the many inquiring chances direct
ed at them. She knew that in the
village church every one knew every
one else, and that the people in the
seats back of them were wondering
who they could be.
HELEN is NERVOUS.
There was forceful air about War
rem that always made him conspicu-
Gus, and Helen hoped fcrvently that
his scathing comments on the play
which she feared he would make
would not be overheard.
A printed program lay on the chair
beside her.

a commencement recitation, and in the
same high pitched voice.
She is the girl that Max makes
love to-" nudged Warren.
Hardly had Texana cleared the ia
BILE after the two-minute breakfast,
when there was knock that shook
the f1imsy door, and in came Jack
Maxwell. Warren dropped his pro-
gram and clapped uproariously.
Don't - don't" whispered Helen
pleadingly, pulling at his arm. AS no
one was clapping, the sound was start
ling.
But Warren did not stop until Max
we'll glanced out and acknowledged
the applause with twitching grin
under his false moustache.
II Helen had not been so embar-
raised at Warren's conduct, she would
have been convulsed at the stilted
way in which they all stood around
the stage and spouted their speeches
in the commencement style of oratory.
Maxwell was tall and thin, with a
voice surprisingly deep in contrast to
the high pitched tones of the girls.
He evidently took his part most ser
iously, and Helen thought once or
twice he looked out in annoyance at
Warren's ill-concealed chuckles.
The play was undoubtedly written
by an aspiring playwright Of the Gin
namon Club, and it's amateurish lines
combined with the amateur acting
produced a real comedy.
But the redeeming feature of 1t
all was Jeans adoring prettiness, and
when in the last act Maxwell caught
! her in his arms, Warren muttered
Lucky dog"
When the red curtain hitched tC
after the final touching scene, Warren
made straight for the door beside the
stage Feeling that they had no right
to intrude behind the scenes, Helen
hung back, but he beckoned to hel
premptorily. Reluctantly she followed
feeling self-conscious and very much
out Of place.
She looked for Maxwell to greet
Warren with ELUSIVE cordially, but
now to her surprise, he was quite
cool He had taken off his false
moustache and was wiping off the
grease paint with towel
He bowed formally to Helen wher
Warren introduced her, but he evinc
ed none Of the hearty good fellowship
that Helen had naturally expected.
A number of the audience had now
made their way back to congratulate
the actors And on all sides were
heard gushing comments of how
"spendidly' the play had gone off,
and how beautifully" everyone haC
acted.
Helen thought that of course Mr.
Maxwell would show them around
explain the various crude devices, anC
then walk with them to the station
But he merely expressed his regre
that they had had so bad an evening
to come up, and asked if they were
going back on the 1885.
They had intended taking the Later
train. but now Warren glanced at his
watch with casual look.
Yes. we will just about have time
to make it."
With a brief goodbye they Wen

Helen's cheeks were burning with ;

The first heavy snow storm OF the winter
occurred Friday night 1t was hard to
determinate what number of inches fell,
probably between FIVE and six. as the ris-
ing temperature caused the storm TO be
turned into one Of driving rain early Sat-
urday morning. But it WIS due to this
rain that the snow was prevented from
drifting to any extent, as the high wind
that prevailed threatened to make the
storm assume the proportions of real
blizzard, and would soon have piled dry
snow up for a regular blockade.
The temperature continued low Satur-
day and Sunday, with additional snow
Monday morning. The wind on Monday
caused considerable drifting, number of
the roads throughout this section, notably
those extending in north and south di-
rection, are blocked with deep drifts.
The snow brought out sleighs and
bob sleds, and some excellent sleighing
has been enjoyed this week.

HEARING IN cRoTHERs ESTATE,
Suit Before Special Session o.
Orphans Court

The Orphans Court for Cecil county was
in special session Monday to hear exceP-
tions filed by DR.. A. c. Crothers, OF
Havre de Grace, to the account OF Emer-
son R and Omar D. Grothers. executors
of the late Governor Crothers, in the
estate Of Charles c. Crothers. deceased.
The principal items excepted to are the
monument to the deceased, which cost
ST., 67s, and the amount paid William A.
McNamee, ward of Charles c Crothers.
With the item for the monument elimi-
mated from the account, it still shows that
the Governor overpaid the estate, and the
cost of monument was paid for by him.
The court passed an order allowing the
items as proper charge against the es-
tate of Charles C. Crothers. The court
ordered the item OF $3.50 charged against
the legacy account of the plaintiff to be
stricken out, as it was shown by the testi-
mony of Mrs. Crothers, wife of DR.. A. G..
Crothers, that the check for that amount
was for the payment of professional SER
vices rendered by DR.. Halstead. Of Balti-
more.
Although this estate had been standing
open for more than 10 years, on Tues
day last was the first time that DR.. Croth-
ers raised objections to the account for
his brother monument. The executors
of Governor Crothers produced in court
last week all checks. receipts. releases and
letters showing that the estate had been
fully settled.
