called themselves "The Old Guard, I"
and they set to work to give their
comrade royal good time during his
visit.

the coterie, the second day after the
arrival of Jared, whats the matter
with Ross? He don't act natural"
And then the prevailing gossip was
received-all the story of how the old
couple were "out."
"Why, this is all nonsensew de-
cided Pearsons. I'VE must patch up
a peace somehow"
He himself went as committee of
one to spy out the lay of the land at
MillviIle He returned to seek out
Jared.
"Old friend" !" he said, ''Tve been to
see your wife. Say, she's mourning
for you"
"Oh, yes-lots!" SCORED Jared.
Ibid she send for me?"
"Why, no! She'd never give up
that strong will of hers to send for
you if you never go back, but she
wants you just the same. See here,
now"
'Drop it!' almost snarled Jared.
''1'n show her Pm just as strong
minded as she is Tomorrow I'm 60

May stay there"
Now this alarmed Pearsons. He

Once Jared drifted West ne might
never come back and thus the home
life and happiness of two really lov-

wrecked.

There WAS plenty of hard cider.

hay, and they drove him over to Mill
vile. Now something had happened
since the visit of Pearsons to that
same town. 1t was this: The new
house had caught fire and all but one
side was burned up.
Anyhow, the schemers place Jared
within the supporting arms of big
roomy garden chair facing what was
left of the new house. They left him
to wake up when he would, and
worry his own way out of the i'm
pending tangle.
When with early daylight Jared
opened his eyes, it was to marvel at.
his strange situation. Then his
glance became fiveted on the new
house.
Burned downt How's this?" he
CALCULATED, and, catching glimpse of
the unharmed side of the structure he
fairly glared.
'sWhy, it's not white and green at
all. Punkin yaller-I vt1m!" And he
rubbed his head, reflected, was mys-
titled and all at sea, and then reflected
some more.
"Bless me, if l don't believe that
perverse Betty changed her mind,
and painted it-my favorite color to
please me! And now it's burned
down. And she's alone at the old
home probably, and7-poor old gal!
She's met me morn half way, and
I'm wicked wretch!"
Yes, half an hour later, as Jared
neared the old home there was his
wife straining the milk on the back
porch. He approached rather
shame-facedly.
Betty" he said, ''you painted
over that white and green to please
me-"
Eyes, did" retorted Betty spicily,
''but didn't do anything more. So

TANNENBAUM TIRES
 OF HERO BUSINESS
". W. Leader Asks for Work After Taste of Solitary Confinement.

New York, July 14.-Frank Tan nenbaum, who is serving a year at Blackwelrs Island as result O.. his I. w. w. campaign last winter, hauled down his banner of defiance yesterday and asked to be permit ed to go to work again. He is one of the eighteen men at the Island who arc in solitary confinement as punish ment for starting the various ouc- breaks of last week.
 When the trouble broke Tannen- baum ranged himself on the side of the rioters, and when Commissioner Davis and Warden Hayes descended upon the ringleaders he loudly pro- claimed himself one of them.
 Nothing Against Warden.
 II haven't anything against you, warden" he said You know that I have been treated fairly since came here, and as for general condi- tions I can stand them if others can. But you sec, these men, my brothers, are repellious against the constituted authorities and my philosophy If life is just thd, So I mutt stand with them in any such contest"
 "All right, Frank" said the warden. You shall stand with them. And when you get tired of standing you can lie down on the cement floor of the cell into which I am going to put you. And to make you conscious of the fact that you are really one of them you will get one slice of bread day. just the same as they are go- ing to get. I shall not forget that you are one of them."
 Explains to Warden.
 That was all right until yesterday, when more than 1,200 of the men went to their shops and began to work as if there hadn't been any re- volt Two more men were added to Tannenbaum's crowd and no word came that the ringleaders were to re- ceive their beds and regular food for some time. Tannenbaum began to think that there wasn't much need of being hero any moro. He called the warden and told him how he felt.
 I guess I'll be good" he said. You

know I can work if I want to- and if you'll give me job I'll take it and drop this business of rebellingl against the authorities for as long as am a prisoner here. But say warden, can't you put me somewhere else than in the brush shop. You Know l said things to those fellows and the way they're going to guy me for giv- ing in won't be very pleasant for me"
 Well" said the warden. "It's the brush shop or solitary for you You can take 1t or leave it."
 Back to Brush Shop.
 So Tannenbaum gave in and back to the brush shop he went this morn- ing. Everything was working smoothly at the Island when Commits sioner Davis left there after a brief visit yesterday. She says she expects no more trouble, but hopes the war den will be able to find few more of the ringleaders. Warden Hayes isn't saying anything about there be- ing no more trouble Long experi- ence has made him cynical in the face of promises from prisoners. He hopes, but doesn't build on his hopes. His game is, he says to be prepared for anything.
 
 that Sweet Marie Gang, who spoke yesterday on conditions at the Island, found nothing in the present admin istration of the penitentiary to criti- cise.. Marie spoke near the munich pal building for an hour. Right at the start she said that she wanted 10 set herself straight with the public that reads of her exploits. She said she is not an anarchist and wants nothing to do with anarchists. She is for the worikingman she said, and had been assured by Deputy Com missioner Rubin that she is not in the police records as an anarchist.
 Raps Board of Estimate.
 Marie hammered away at the board of estimate, declaring that it evident ly has grudge against the depart mentment of correction, because it persistently turns down applications for appropriations by Miss Davis. She asserted that money ought to be spent freely on the Island, where. she said, conditions are almost un- bearable. She agrees with Comnfs- sioner Davis that prisoners should be classified in order to keep healthy persons healthy and give those who are not healthy a chance to become so.
 She said that she is going to the Island to conduct an investigation, so that the public may be informed with particularly as to just what is needed there. Commissioner Davis vouchsafed no comment as to Marfes investigation. The present commits sioner has already let it be known that she Is perfectly capable of con- ducting her own investigations.

was ascertained there that he was in- formally injured, particularly in the vicinity of his chest. Two stitches the temple. &t
 At the time of the accident, MT. filling was trying out one of MT. Bence's new cars. While it could not be learned definitely. it, is said that the lawyer had no license. This would not be a violation of the law, Bence, who is a licensed driver, was in the car with him at the time.
 Lawyer Alling is well known in Berlin, not only because of his hav- ing resided here formerly, but be- cause of the many times he has de- tended clients in the local police court. His last appearance was in the case of Louis Seiple of New Brit tain,- who was tried and fined $150 and costs for reckless driving.
 school Board on Repairs. The town school committee at it's July meeting held last evening in the town clerks office, voted to make re- pairs of more or less importance, at practically all of the local schools. While no statement as to the exact amount to be spent was made, it is estimated that the repairs this year will be slightly in excess of those made last year, which cost about $4OO.
 Probably the biggest change is to be made at, the Blue Hills school house. Here the old-fashioned floor will be torn up and replaced by a new and modern one. At the South school many holes in the plaster on the walls will have to be filled and considerable whitewashing done.
 The concern that installed the heat ing system at the kensington Gram mar school will be. consulted in re- gard to arranging flor improved cir culation., No expense will be at tached to this work as it is included in the contract.
 At the Beckley schoolhouse, the old stage on the second floor will be removed and the space. utilized as a room for the primary department This room is we'll built and, after the changes have been made, it will be one of the prettiest country school rooms in the state.
 In one of the rooms on the sec ond floor of the Worthington Cram mar school, a large crack has de- veloped between the false ceiling and the walls, it being possible to see daylight through it when sitting at the teachers desk. 1t will be nec- essary to have this remedied and some painting and kalsomining done.
 Small things will have to be att tended to in many other rooms and the supervision of the repair work will be left with the repair com rnittee, which IS composed Of Presi- dent John T. Molumphy, Secretary Arthur Woodruff and William H. Nye. Fl. H. Hanfo.d will loot. after the work to be done at the Percival school in Kensington, as 1t Is To- cated very near to his residence.
 As the fiscal year closes soon the school board may be obliged to hold its August meeting late in July for the purpose of getting all it's reports ready for the annual town report, which is issued early in September of each year.

 Struck by a Buick automobile driven by Lawyer Benjamin w. filling of New Britain, as he alighted from the 5:3O Berlin bound trolley car, opposite Depot Square last evening, Paul Durzie of Cherry street. New with such force as to injure him quite seriously both internally and exter- nally. After receiving temporary Treatment from Doctors Roger M. and Matthew H. Griswold of kensington, he was removed to the New Britain General hospital, where it was stated today that he is resting comforta bly, It is believed that he will recover.
 Speaking over the phone to a Herald man this morning, MT. filling, who is the son of Judge Willard l. filling of kensington said that the machine he was driving was travelling at a rate less than ten miles an hour when it struck Durzie. we were hardly moving" said the lawyer, and I don't think the machine was going any more than five or six miles an hour. Of course that's the same old story, but it's true"
 MT. filling and his companion, Charles A. Bence, the New Britain expressman, were the only ones who seemed able to give a clear account of the accident. The former states that he was driving down Pennington avenue towards Upson's corner and was just about to pass the trolley car | which had stopped opposite Depot Square, when Durzie rushed out hlindly from behind headed for the railroad station. Even before seeing the man the lawyer says, he sounded his horn to warn any passengers that might have gotten off the car When he suddenly perceived the figure of a man directly in front of his car it was too late to avoid hitting him, but he brought his car to an almost inn mediate stop. Fortunately the auto did not pass over Durzie's body, but he received serious injuries in being thrown to the road. He sat up in the road in scmiconscious condi- tion and began rubbing his head with his hand, when picked up and rushed to the doctors office in the machine which had struck him. A superficial examination proved that his left lower Eyelid had been ripped open, that there were friction burns on the collar Z bcne, a deep cut on the temple and that he was suffering from concus- sion of the brain. After first aid was rendered. Durzie was taken to the hospital by MT. filling, Dr. Matthew Fl. Griswoid accompanying him. It
