"Still, I'll take it."
'And Roger, wait minute" added
the farmer, and he went out to the
shed and returned with long, stout
pair of bear-skin leggings. Here you
are for comfort" he said. ''They are
the ones Vaka rejected for his new
gaudy attire"
1t was Gladys who accompanied
Roger to the door and stood there
while he mounted his horse. She,
too, stood at the window looking
after him till he was out of sight
Was he mistaken, or did she really
lift her hands to her lips, as if send
ing after him good luck kiss?
Roger loved Gladys Alden. She had
many suitors and he was not entirely
sure of his ground. Since he had an
nounced his present journey, how
ever, Roger had fancied a new depth
of expression to her sweet eyes.
1t seemed that a month before
while out for a gallop, Gladys had
left her favorite horse beside the trail
to gather some wild flowers. When
she returned he was gone. Wandered
off or stolen, nothing was heard of
the missing steed until about three
weeks later. A reward of one hun
dred dollars had been offered for the
return of the horse. Vaka had ap-
peared, but bareback. He had 'for-
gotten" the saddle. he said. In one
of its pockets Gladys had placed
small hand bag. 1t contained some
valued trinkets, once belonging to her
dead mother. She had mourned their
loss. Hence the chivalric assay of
Roger, looking to their restitution.
Roger found his calculation as to a
speedy journey at fault. The trail
was forty inches under snow, the ra-
vines clogged, the horse worn out
before half the journey was accom-
plished. On the evening of the sec
ond day, however, he arrived weary

for neighbor to act as interpreter. :
About to depart, her eyes glittered,
her breath came rapidly, she stared
hard at the leggings which Roger
wore. Then, lowering expression !,
on her dusky face, she left the hut.
Roger was so exhausted that he
threw himself on a pile of skins to-
recuperate while the woman waSs
away. Before he realized it drowsi-.
ness overcame him. He was aroused:
by finding himself bounced upon vig-l
orously. The squaw had lurked QUIT
side the hut, had stealthily returned,
had bound him hand and foot and he
lay helpless, in deadly peril of hisF
life. ,
"You kill Vakap' she shriekedl
frenzied, and she pointed at the Leg
gings and poised a knife ready to-
plunge it into his vitals.
mo! mop asserted Roger strenu-i
ously, comprehending her dark sus-
picions- "alivei Pocket-pocketw
The squaw half understood him..
She CROPPED past his helpless hands.
and drew from his breast pocket a,
wallet. She scanned its contents.
Then, snatching from among the pa
pers it contained the Photograph of
Vaka, she stood regarding it with dis
tended eyes.

frenzy, drawing the knife in her hand
through the smiling face of the wom-
an in the picture.
To revenge wild jealousy had sue
ceeded The squaw ran from the
hut to briefly return with a neighborr
who could act as interpreter. Roger
truthfully delineated the situation,
but Vaka's wife was insistent on 60,

The determined squaw was the
companion of Roger, mounted on her,
Indian pony, back to the town. She.

GRANGE NOTES Annual Picnic of County Oranges Prepartions Being Made for a Grand
 Affair

Now that it is a settled fact that the picnic composed of the united granges of northeastern Connecticut is to be held at Wildwood Park August 5th, much interest is manifest and many questions areibeing asked Of the conn mittee as to the arrangements, the pro. gram of entertainment, etc. Once a year there are three occasions only when all people without regard to class or denomination meet upon the level for entertainment, education. or for love of those who made our coun. try what it is, viz: The Woodstock Fair, Memorial Day, and the Annual Grange Picnic. The latter seems to be melting unusual interest each year as il is day set apart for pleasure and education as we'll, and l am informed that this years 5th of August promis- es to be the occasion which ineites more real enthusiasm than any other gathering Of public nature that will be held in this part of the State during the summer months, and also that in addition to the large number of gran gers and their friends, and the literary and musical program of the day that there will also be some distinguished people present. It is tbe editor of the press who writes and speaks fearlessly, or the judge of the courts who gives in- dividual expression, or the statesman of individuality and independent rea- soning whom the people of Nindham County wish to ,hear express them selves. And if we fail to have poetry, prose, song, and oratory, on that occa- sion, and some of the old fashioned kind at that, I shall be disappointed and very much disappointed.-Repor- ter for Grange.

TO BOND DEBT
Offer to Purchase SS75,OOO 4l.4 Per
 Cent Bends at Premium Accepted
City Will Save Over s4 900 Annually

City Will Save Over S4, 900 Annually
 By accepting the offer of Parkinson X Burr of Hartford to purchase Put. nam city 1 If per cent bonds running twenty-five to thirty years to the amount of S575,000 at a premium of S375 the city is due for yearly saving on its present debt of S4, ,062 50 annual ly and the members of the common council and citizens generally are elated.
 The acceptance of the offer was made at special meeting of the common council Friday evening called for the purpose of hearing the report of a committee appointed to investigate the matter of bonding the water and sewer debt of the city.
 The eommitte, consisting of the Mayor, Aldermen Dady and Davis of the finance committee and Aldermen Byrne and Johnson, were appointed by the council at a meeting two months ago to investigate the matter and re. port back to the council. Aldermen Johnson and Byrne have given the matter great deal of consideration and it was to great degree due to their vigorous efforts that the success ful culmination of floating bonds was brought about. The extremely low rate of interest with the additional premium offered was surprise to the council as men in financial circles had stated that the matter was impossible, The committee were rendered a vote of thanks for the work they had done and the result obtained.
 The committee in it's report recom- mended the acceptance of the offer of Parkinson X Burr which was contain ed in letter dated June 20th. This offer was to the effect that the concern would take bonds of the city at 1 IA per cent to the amount oi S375, ,000 at a premium of S375 providing that the bonds were certified in manner as suggested by them. They further stated that as an evidence of good faith they had deposited in the First Ma tional Bank of Putnam S3,75 to be paid the city treasurer on account of the purchase when the terms of the agreement have been ratified by the of ficials of the city. It was voted that +t,r, ro,1ort If Tho a,y,, iffaa ha acaa pt ed and that the offer of Parkinson x Burr be also accepted and that the committee be continued for the pur- pose of efiecting the details and ar engagements of the issuance of the bonds.
 At present the city's water debt of S250,0 is secured by notes bearing l-2 per cent interest which means q saving by the bonds on this debt of II per cent or S3,125; and the sewer debt of S125,000 is secured by notes bearing per cent interest where there will be saving of 31 IA of per cent amounting to $937.50, total annual saving to the city of S4,062.5O. The premium, it is thought, will be nearly if not quite enough to pay for the float ing of the bond issue. The bonds are to be dated either July 1st or August 1st and to be due in twenty-five equal installments payable twenty-five years from date to thirty years from date in- elusive. Another feature of the bond issue will be the fixing of the city's debt and do away with the periodical renewal of notes with the final liquida- tion of the debt assured at definite time

Not a Regular Bomb as Investigation
 Proved
A Real Live News Story Becomes Junl

A Real Live News Story Becomes Junk
 A reputable citizen of Putnam saw lying in the woods near his house pc. culiar looking piece of mechanism. The more he studied 1t the more he became convinced that he had discovered a mystery. "Anyhow," he said to him. self, Eve are in an era of investigation and why shouldn't Putnam be up-to- date in this as in all other respects?' So the gentleman picked up the pecu- liar looking thing and, handling it with care and caution, carried it to Captain Murray and with look of re- lief handed it over to that official with suggestion that the thing be investi- gated in due form. Of course the Cap. tain is not only Captain but also de- tective bureau, vice squad, patrolman, general information bureau, traffic of- ficer, park police, and few other little departments in one and one depart ment more added to the list wouldn't be noticed in his field of duties, so he also became chief of the explosive bu- reau last Friday morning when the citizen found the thing which might prove to be bomb.
 The "perhaps a bomb" was about fourteen inches long, round, an inch in circumference, leather covered, and capped at each end with pieces of brass in which were holes through which the "perhaps dynamite or nitro glyc- erine'' might be seen. On one end was short piece of what might be "per- haps fusen to set the thing of with. The Captain called upon another city official to show the thing but he gave no encouragement aside from getting the Captain and the thing out of his place Of business with the statement that. he refused to become part of the bureau of explosives, leaving the Cap tain the field to himself. A reporter got tip and followed the Captain at safe distance expecting at any minute to see him rise up towards the monday sun with following shower of brass buttons and few scraps of uniform. But there WAS nothing doing no big story broke; so to get value received for time spent little junk took the place of real news story.
 The investigation is closed. There Is no mystery, and like many another investigation the investigator does not know what it was that was investigat- ed but knows that it wasn't what u might have been. It wasn't bomb, and that is why there is no story, but just junk"

FIRST VICTIM
Boy Preparing For the Fourth at
 Hospital
Cleaning Pistol When Cartridge Exploded

The old barbarious custom of cele- brating the Fourth of July has claimed it's first toll, The victim is Walter Ivanhoss, l6, of North Grosvenordale who was taken to the Day kimbsll hospital late Thursday afternoon after he had shot himself in the hand.
 The boy get his old pistol used on previous smilar occasions to celebrate the Declaration of Independence apd was cleaning and overhauling 1t in an- tieipation of having a lot of fun with the seyenshooterjust as soon as the law allows. He had the barrell of the pistol pressed against the palm of his hand and the old story was repeated with the usual result, He dIdn't know it was loaded but 1t when oil neverthe- less, Luckily for the young man it was only loaded with a blank cart ridge. Ike palm of his hand was severely burned and in cleaning the wound, Dr. E, F. Perry laid the hand open clear to the wrist and took out of wound pieces Of warding from the cartridge. Young Ivanhoss displayed unusual nerve and when asked if he wanted something to put him to sleep 50 he would be oblivious to what was going on he replied "No, go ahead I'm all right; can stand itn so the opera tion was performed without the use of an anesthetie. After the wound had been dressed the boy was given tetanus ontitoxin and put to bed.
 This accident might serve as a warn- ing to other youngsters in this section, but 1t won't. Young America will not be deterred from taking the chance of being maimed or killed as long as the custom prevails of celebrating our National holiday with noise and pow der.

Judge Thomas in Accident on Way to
 EastfOrd

Judge Edwin k. Thomas of the United States district court, figured in an automobile accident about 2.30 o'clock Monday afternoon while driv- ing through Manchester. In company with his wife, daughter, mother-in- law and a maid, Judge Thomas left New Haven Monday morning for East ford, where his family is to spend the summer. On approaching Manches- ter Center he noticed motorcycle coming from the south but supposed that it was to go east, the same direc- tion he was driving. The motorcyclist knowing that there was bad corner, was riding close to the east curb, in- tending to make the turn before going across the road towards the north. He turned the corner and then turned sud denly to the north and as he did so he came in contact with Judge Thomas automobile. The contact sent the rider on the motorcycle suddenly to the ground. The judge seeing the motor cycle suddenly turn to the north pull led his automobile in the same direc. tion, so instead of striking the auto mobile head on, or on the side, the motorcycle side-swiped it.
 Chief Gordon arrived soon after the mixup and after Investigating the case permitted the judge to proceed. Judge Thomas told Chief Gordon that he had driven an automobile for about 5000 miles and had never before been in an accident of any kind.

Offers Gymnasium Apparatus to High
 School

The school board has received an off, fer from Rev. C. J. Hartman, rector of St. Philips church, of some gymna- sium apparatus for the Putnam High school. Mir. Hartman has taken con. siderable interest in the school ath- Ietics and realizes the needs of the gymnasium department. In the com munication he states that he is able to make the offer through the generosity of Rev. William Beach Olmsted, head master of Pomfret School, who has put the apparatus at his disposal. The ap- paratus has been used at Pomfret School and is in serviceable condition. It was replaced when the new gymnasium was opened. MT. Harri- man offers as a suggestion that ar rangements be made for the use of the gymnasium evenings by employed boys and young men as there is no Y. M. C. A. or similar club in the city. He also suggests that hot water be made available for baths.

Some Very Dark Nights in Putnam

Many citizens hope that the tune will soon come when the street lights will burn all night. During the sum- mer months the lights go out at l2 or o'clock and on cloudy nights 1t IS so dark that one can hardly see their hand before them. A gentleman who had occasion to be out after the lights went out Saturday night had hard time getting to his home and only ar rived there by feeling his way along on walls and fences. The police on duty have hard work getting about on such n;Obts and are unable to see what Is going on twenty feet away.

THROWN IN RIVER
After Being Severely Beaten Putnam
 Man is Thrown from Bridge
Co, rloou by Former JalImates, He Claims


 rsrael Rondeau of Church street was confined to his home from Wednesday until saturday from injuries received Tuesday night in Webster, when he claims he was set upon by two former iailmates. Rondeau's appearance de- ootea that he had been severely handled. His left eye was badly blood sbot and discolored; his cheek beneath uas swollen and blue; there were hrnises all over his body and one of his ,ibs was broken, according to the doc tor who treated him.
 According to Rondeau's story he WAS in Webster last week Tuesday night and there met two men, whom he says were inmates of Brooklyn jail al the same time he was. RondeaG was sentenced by the Putnam city court for making disturbance in To- cal mill. His two fellow prisoners were Poles, according to Rondeau, and took 8 dislike to him when in jail. They appeared friendly enough how. ever when he met them in Webster and when they invited him to go with them he went along. When the trio arrived at a bridge over small stream Rondeau says his companions sand. bagged him and took S4 in money from him. He hardly remembers ex. actly what did happen except that he was thrown from the bridge into the stream below and had to swim to shore. That he had been roughly handled his appearance Iemphatically denoted It looked as if he had been kicked repeatedly in the face and side, in fact all over his body.
 Saturday Rondeau was trying to find from the court records the names of the two men whom he claims set upon him, for the purpose of making complaint to the authorities in Web ster.
