THE LIE
BY cLARISSA MACKIE.

The long studio was dim with the
grayness of wet afternoon. Outside
the windows the November rain fell
steadily. The man paced the room
restlessly, lighting one cigarette after
another, only to toss each one I'M
smoked into the CRATE. He was tall
and gaunt, with prematurely gray hair
and haggard face in which burned
deep-set blue eyes.
The woman sitting beside the fire
watched him with grave, injurious
eyes. The freight shone on her fold
ed white hands and touched brilliant
ring into hot flame. Sometimes the
same flame burned in her eyes.
The man, accustomed to her quiet
presence, had forgotten her.
Once he passed beside the great oak
table and looked at large package
stamped with many foreign labels and
sealed with curious splash of green
wax.
1T is Temples private seal, and
yet" His mutter died into silence.
And yet-Jim Temple had been dead
for ten years and the seal with its
owner was lying in the muddy depths
of the Yangtze river.
Why should this package come to
me out of Chinatown" he questioned
himself as he resumed his restless
tramping to and fro.
What horrible night that had been,
Black and storm driven, and the wind
had whined around the tapping sails
of the junk
Suddenly he went to the table,
switched on the electrolier and sat
down before the package. His jaw
was set grimly and bitter smile edged
his lips.
For a while there was no sound
within the room save the twanging
of several strings and the rustic of
papers.
AT last box and wrappings were cast
aside and there was revealed before
him the perfect model of a Chinese
pleasure juhk-the replica of that 9TH
er craft on the Yangtse river.
How perfect it was in every detail!
What cunning artisan had contrived
the miniature craft with it's hull of
fine bamboo, it's awnings of gauze, its
sails of silk, and in it's tiny cabin were
carved and inlaid tables and lockers

before which stood four ivory votive

of incense and there was an acrid

seemed to rock on its bosom and
was not the wind whining? And
there was the beat of rain-and in the
/ shadows beyond the circle Of light lay
those dim Asiatic shores.
The helmsman was a tall. wicked
looking Chinaman, and the group OF
sailors huddled in the bow; how their
shrill, staccato voices pierced the

fieshly scoundre with the inscrutable

/ and finally the shorter of the two, clad
in gray, leaped at the throat of the

at last the little man went over the

The Yangtze was roaring delight

How the river roared.
Suddenly the storm paused. The
wind stilled and the rain ceased its
drumming on the skylight
The man lifted his head and brushed
his hand across his eyes.
He sighed brokenly and for the first

Brighton Town Meeting

Town meeting is now matter of
history. Everything seemed to go
on quite smoothly, although there
was some aspiraty shown, at times.
Two dollars on dollar of the Grand
List was raised, twenty-five cents to
be applied on factory bonds.
Last year, there were, extraordinary
expenses, amounting to considerable
over one thousand dollars, which will
not have to be met the present year.
1t seems we are steadily but slowly
gaining, and everyone should en-
.deavor to assist the town officials in
holding down the lid. The Wafer
System is the greatest asset ever
acquired by the town and will event
ually take the town entirely out of
debt.
Let us watch where the money
goes, and be sure that everyone OBJ
tains value received and that only.

Rivers Should be Highways

There is an absurd notion on the
part Of some persons that gre at
natural arteries of travel should be
locked up against the public; and
that any owners of land along a riv-
er has the right to stop commerce.
Discussion on this subject most fire.
quently arises with reference to the
driving of logs, some people seeking
to prevent the use of these highways
because such use incidentally pro-
duces some slight damage or incon-
venience.
A most absurd illustration of this
is the attempt made by some one in
the present General Assembly to
take away by repeal the legislation
charter of the Champlain Realty
Co. operating on the White River.
This Company has invested more
than thirty thousand dollars on i'm
provements and has about sixty mil
lion feet of standing timbers to drive
down to Bellows Fails, where there
is large mill of the international
Paper Co., yet some one from a con-
cealed motive, has cnergetieally TAX
en- in hand the destruction of a great
industry by locking up one of our
natural arteries of travel; for, if the
bill to repeal this charter passes, the
tinlbers will have to be hauled about
twenty-four miles to the cars. The
cost of this would be prohibitive. Men
living in Essex County know from
observation that drivable streams
are as necessary to the timber in
dustry as railway trains are to the
travelling public. Business cannot
be done without them.
From t m e immemorial, these
rivers have been the natural arteries
of travel, the Indians used them be-
fore America was discovered and
they have always been used since.
Can such rights be taken away by
legislation and should such an un-
considerable thing be done if it
could?

Trade at Home and Help Sup
port Yourselves

Nothing better was ever done to
make a place look prosperous than
an enthusiastic Trade at Home Cam
paign. Every dollar that goes out of
town and out of State to pay for
what can be obtained here is a source
of impoverishment to your commun-
ity. No successful business could
ever be established and maintained
without the loyalty of it's patrons.
The fundamental idea is, if you pay
out your money here, some of it re-
turns to your own pocket. If you
send it, away it never comes back.
We are all dependent. You can
not live by yourself alone. You only
live andprosper by the kindness and
indulgence of others. If all of the
money which has gone away never to
return had been kept here, we would
now have an appearance of opulence
scarcely to be imagined. Our hill
sides would be covered with immense
herds of horses and cattle, bank de-
posts would have greatly increased,
and the soil of our farmers would
produce four times what it does now.
For illustration:-While the banks
of Vermont have sent millions of
dollars out to build up the West, our
own soil has been abandoned and
farm loans in Vermant have been
comparatively few.
Make yourself a committee of one
to help home trade and home in
dustries.
