speak to old Newton about it. Yet

coming from the red chimney. Every

that she collected antiques for a New

places.
1t was at the end of the fourth
week that Burton, looking at himself
in the glass hung on his tent pole,
told himself that he was in love. He
looked over at the red chimney and
accused it in his mind Then he looked
again and saw something that made
him hold his breath. Up from the red
chimney came masses of sulphurous
smoke that stained the deep blue Of
the morning sky.

Gu up to the old house and found the
two girls fighting a chimney fire.

it against the house and tried to

Burton possessed her hands.

Beatrice and Mr.. Newton came around

Well, It's out said the old man.
How do you like your two landlords,

And he regarded them as invaders.

NEW HAMPSHIRE MUST ACT.
Legislation Needed to Prevent Receiv
ership for Boston & Maine.

BOSTON, June 29.-Legislation IN
New Hampshire in line with that of
other states for the reorganization of
the Boston ana Maine is necessary If
the railroad is to avoid a receivership,
according to a statement made here BY
President James III. Hustis of the rail
road yesterday. The statement. which
was given out at the conclusion of a
meeting of the executive committee of
the road said:
''There is no friction between the
directors of the Boston and Maine rail
road and the committee representing
the leased line interests. This commit
tee, of which Richard Olney is chair
man, is fully alive to the Importance
Of avoiding a reecivership and is work
ing to that end. They realize if re
coivership is to be avoided legislation
must be secured in New Hampshire,
and that to secure legislation in New
Hampshire the leased line interests
must be practically a unit requesting
/ it.
The statement that because of n
steady Improvement in net earnings,
reorganization is unnecessary, and that
there will be no need of a reeeivership
IN ease reorganization is not effected
should not De regarded seriously. 1t is
understood byalf interests that no plan
short of reorganization and one that
will restore credit to the road will
avail
1t is true that net results of oper-
alton as compared with last year are
continuing to show favorable ten
dency. The report for the 11-months
period, published today in face of a
loss in the operating revenue of 81
$4,000. shows a shortage of only
| $4,000 in the amount required to pay
fixed charges as against n shortage of
-, $4,000 for the same period of the
previous year; but regardless of this
favorable showing it is apparent that
fixed charges will not be earned this
| fiscal year, although the result would
have been more favorable had not
track work been started earlier this
| year than last

PLAN BOYS AND GIRLS FAIR.
Vermont to Have Another Agricul
tural and Industrial Exposition.

RUTLAND, June 29.-Vermont led
off last year with the first extensive
exhibition given over entirely to boys
and girls in New England, if not in the
Eastern states, and many have desired
that it be continued and made a per-
manent state institution. The com
mittee are now sending out handbook
and preliminary prize list for the sec
ond Annual Vermont Boys and Girls ,
Agricultural and Industrial Exposition
and many will be pleased at the de-
cision to follow up the splendid begin
ming made in 1914.
The Windsor county Y. NJ C. A.
committee, who initiated and directed
tho three state corn show and the 1914
boys and girls exposition, have made
every effort to have the 1915 exposi-
ton held in some other part of the state
if suitable buildings and grounds could
be procured, in order that it might
touch other communities and arouse
the widest possible interest, and at the
invitation of the Rutland Business
Men s association and with desire
to hold the exposition at the time of
the annual convention of the Vermont
State Teachers association, it will be
Helu III tHe new exhibition buildings on
the Rutland fair grounds at Rutland
during the last week in October, 20, 27,
%, 30, 1915.
The committee believes that the sue
cess of the 1914 exposition will lead
many all over the state to cooperate
this year and look forward to the 1915
exposition. With the financial assist
ance made possible through the appro-
priation of state funds and by inter
ested friends and organizations, it is
believed that as comprehensive show
ing can be made in Rutland the coming
fall.

In time of peace, prepare for war" is the adopted motto of new China. We know that every ChinamaR in every city and town on the Pacific coast, IS contributing to the full extent of h.s means to the fund that the Chinese government Is accommodating in the event of war with Japan.
 Now comes the Hawaiian Gazette with a similar story Of the great activity in collecting @ war fund in the islands. A prominent Chinese merchant Of Honolulu is quoted as saying:
 Every Chinese society in Hawaii is collecting and every Chtnaman is giving as much as he can. Working men are giving two. three and five ollars. Storekeepers are giving by tie hundreds of dollars, and several O. the wealthiest Chinese of HoRo- lulu have contributed thousands.
