disposed of again. This claim was
ridiculed by counsel for the Law and
Order league, but Judge Warner
found that the wines should not have
been disturbed and ordered them re-
turned to Mr.. Scott. n &f.
The officers instructed to seize the
goods at the town hall in Cheshire
were John w. Mcdonald, then city
sheriff of Waterbury, and William NJ.
Gillette, then messenger of the dis
trict court.
Residents Took Sides.
The issue became so lively in Che
shire that many Of the residents took
sides, some standing by Mr.. Scott, and
others. favoring the course of the Law
and Order people. It was claimed
that some Of the wines were missing
and according to one Of the inter
ested lawyers the town had to make
good to Mr.. Scott to the extent Of
about $500, all of which came out
Of the town treasury, and therefore
out Of the pockets of the taxpayers.
This changed the feeling somewhat,
and from what is now being said the
Law and Order league was never
very popular in Cheshire after that.
At any rate, the town went license
again and no more trouble was made
for Mr.. Scott.
Since Mr.. SCOTS death there has
been much talk regarding the estate
whether he died poor man or had
accumulated considerable money. 1t
is known that he invested heavily in
real estate and that he owned many
orchards from which he derived con-
siderable revenue. His orchards
were his delight and he spent as much
time in them as he could spare from
his hotel business.

DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY.

Il London, April 30.-Not all of the
heroes of war perish in the trenches.
In an inquest at Enfield over the
death of an artificer named Cook,
employed at the royal small arms
factory, it developed that mans
death was due to fatigue, which had
reacted on a weak heart. Since Au-
LIST, Cook worked eighty-o one hours a

normal times. He had been employed
in the factory for twenty-five years.
The coroner said that the man died

Mary caught the annoyed express
sion on Rita's face as she turned and
spoke to her husband. He did not
hear her, wrapt In his eager study of
the slumbering baby's face. She felt
a sudden fierce jealousy consuming
her, as she caught the expression of
this man she seemed unacquainted
with, this man who held a child to
his breast SO perfectly, with such an
expression of unalloyed happiness
upon his face. Something dawned
upon her, with that intuition which
seems given women to amend for a
certain lack of logic, which her hus-
band would never have found out
that the perfect happiness that had
been hers through this man was due
to the paternal instinct in him that
made him delight in treating her as a
child, to be humored and pampered
and spoiled.
Come, JIM" she said softly, striv-
ing beautifully to make her voice
sympathetic, 1--WE must hurry now"
Reluctantly he returned Billie to
the mother. Rita noticed that for a
few steps he moved on tip-toe, as

Diffidently, yet with certain curious
firmness, he led her to the library,

She braced herself instinctively.
II sometimes wonder If home can

murmured, more to the sympathetic
flames than to her. II remember how
my mother always thought of me as
her baby, even after l was in col
lege."
Rita leaned forward, drawing his
hand about her neck and fondling it
soothingly.
Don't you ever think-Rita, don't
you ever wish there was baby in
our house?" His voice was low, his
words bit stumbling now, as though
he found difficulty expressing himself.
Wouldn't it sort of make things hap

She forced laugh to her lips, a
gay, tender laugh even as her fingers
twined flercely about his own.
"6ut, Jim, don't want any chill

Sometimes" she tempered the blow

She fought against showing her
hurt as he sharply drew away his
cheek from her own, then pressed 1t
close once more.
"Wait till Billie puts those sticky
arms about your neck, Rita. Then
then you'll know" he called back.

Like tiny threads of steel her fingers
gripped his wrist. He nodded, avoid

eyes. She did not weep-he only
prayed that she would. She merely
stared stonily into space. Her hus-
band tenderly placed his hand upon
her hair. She did not look at him.

Rita frowned and toyed nervously
with her glass, as, looking up, her
eyes met those of her husband, who
at a remote. obscure table, was en-
pertaining two rather flashily dressed,
noisy young women.
She left the cafe Immediately she
decently could excuse herself from
her friend, chatting at the insult he
had placed upon her. Rumors of his
gay life had come to her but she had
paid no attention to them.
In the library she halted him late
that afternoon, just as he was on the
point of leaving the house.
"You wish an explanation for the
unfortunate coincidence of this after
noon?" he murmured.
"No-o," she shook her head thought
fully, surprised to find herself cool out
wardly while she boiled and seethed
within, mot exactly that, James. I

There was look of triumph upon

nouncing herself into the Reverend
Deane's study with a triumphant
rustic of the newspaper in her hand,
she stepped beside him. Slowly he
lifted his leaden eyes from the SER

"Oh. wish Billie were here now"
she cried, little catch In her voice.
Then l could make you understand,

"Billie!" He turned toward her In
quiringly and something In her eyes
confused him, set his pulses dancing,
made everything blurry before him.
Don't you remember, Jim? Billie

such an adventure. Billie's been Wis

with the little boy in our house. He

He leaped to his feet. his arms
flung wide as though to clasp her to
him. Blushing rosily, but with the
gayest of trickling laughter upon her
lips, she caught the expression in his
eyes and retreated from him, all
eager to be caught that she might
lay her face against that shoulder
she had regained, yet with then
maiden instinct for flight. Back
back and Jim laughingly advancing
toward her, laughing with a curious
sobbing sound intermingled with it.
And then he halted, the shadow of
impending catastrophe gripping its icy
hand upon him, freezing his blood
His lips uttered cry of warning, even
as Rita's shrilled forth one of terror
and appeal. The ripping of lace sound
ed as her heel caught in ruffle of her
boudoir gown, tripping her. The
heavier sound of falling portieres as
she dragged them down in clutching
for support against the fall.
Thud-thud-James White knew
that horrid sound, the thudding of
his wife's beautiful body upon the
stairs down which she was hurled,
would never quit his ears. Thud-
thud-a crash, as she brought up
against the pilasters on the main
floor, and lay there, very still, her
white face upturned toward his own.

Doctor Judd gently withdrew him
self from the clutching fingers of the
Reverend Deane.
"The operation was a complete sue
cess and she is almost able to be
about" he said, then, as the old man
turned away with sign of relief:
But think you had better come with
me today. She may need you now"
He did not mind the GOODNESS of his
son-in-law's reception, did not mind
the hesitancy of his daughters kiss.
He deserved all this. He only wished
to be with her, to help her in her hour
of misery, the misery he could feel
running as an undercurrent beneath
Doctor Judd's CHEEKY words.
Eyes, little girl, you came through
the operation nobly. 1t was a COM

Rita blushed, looking meaningly up

NEWSPAPER
SOLD BY SHERIFF
Independent-Rec Plant Placed
Under Hammer to Satisfy
Bank Mortgage

The Independent-Record was sold
at sheriff's sale Saturday morning at
10 o'clock to satisfy mortgage held
by the Prosser State Bank. There
was only one bid, the bank taking 1t
in for the face of the mortgage and
accrued interest. There were also two
years back taxes which must be paid
by the purchaser. The total amount
was something over $4,000.
The Independent-Record was the re-
suit of consolidation of the Prosser
Record and the Benton Independent
made two years ago last spring.
The Benton Independent was start
ed during the fall Of 1909 by L. L.
Lynn and H. A. Wells. With two pa
pers already in the field the venture
simply meant an elimination as the
town was not large enough to support
three papers. Mr.. Lynn severed his
connections with the paper in the
spring of 1910. Mr.. Wells ran it for
time and later Miss Annie Newberg
was put at the head. Miss Newberg
was a writer of considerable force, but
her penchant for scrapping forced the
owners to let her go, and Sam Mason,
former Prosser attorney, bought the
plant. Mr.. Mason ran the paper by
himself for time and later on inn
ported C. E. Rusk, who ran the paper
up to the time it was taken over by G.
B. Kitchener, early in the spring Of
1913. Knowing that the town would
not support three papers and in the
hope that it would support two, Mr..
Kitchener bought out the Prosser Re-
ord and consolidated it with the Ben
ton Independent, changing the name
to the Independent Record, under
which title it has been operated since
that time.
Unfortunately, however, Mr.. Niche
ner's dream was not realized. General
business conditions became worse and
it was soon seen that the town would
not support two papers. Bills became
due which he could not meet and, al
though he made valiant fight, he was
carrying too heavy load and sue
cumbed to the inevitable.
What is to be done with the plant is
not definitely known. It was under
stood that this weeks paper would be
gotten out to complete some legal ad-
vertising, but whether the publication
will be continued OF. not cannot be as,
certained at this time.-Republican-
