Continued From Saturday,
"Well. I reckon, as selectman of the
township, we constitute the authori-
ties" said the squire. Lets call the
meeting now"
Accordingly. the meeting was held.
with the result that Jot Hayhurst,
the town painter, was authorized to
make a dozen signs bearing the fol-
lowing inscription:
WARNING!
All persons are forbid to light
fires in the woods of Harpswell
township, under penalty of the
law, which is 800 fine and empris-
onment. $25 reward for informa-
ton against offenders.
These signs were posted in conspic-
uous places and caused no little gos-
sip and excitement among the far
mers.
'9rhe danger must be serious" they
argued, "or no sech signs would have
| been posted up
But, although the warning forbade
| the lighting of fires, 1t made no pro-
vision against the far greater peril of
| smoking. And so Hank Bushrod con-
| tinued his practise of passing through
| the woods, on his way to and from
| Sid Varndelrs store, with a cigarette
! between his lips, tossing away the
smouldering butt without regard to
where 1t fell. He had read the posted
warming; but never dreamed of ap-
plying il to himself.

hour than usual and, in order TO save

Tommy set IA course by his compass
and conducted the lame boy 70 the

another match and again consulting
his compass, he turned back into tn,
