 The other solution, and the one which the prison officials and the police think the correct one. is that Creator believed himself wanted for some crime, possibly a serious one, which he had committed previous to his incarceration at Wethersfield He may have believed that when tho day of his release came he might find officers from another state waiting in the warden's office with cxtradition papers for him, and might find him. self doomed to a number of more years fin prison With this danger before him, gradually assuming the proportions of a certainty to hls mind he may have been driven to the course he took Ii Is not known whether there was any such crime committed, but there has been no application made tc tho prison for the surrender of Creator on his re- lease.

If the citizens want water meters, let them give their approval. But it is not up to citizens. Of course if the officials now in power see fit they can order meters.

Again the head of the Ouakers' for

way that Cogswell paced the coaching
box that the word had gone out to
look the RUDE over seriously. There
were possibilities even in rubes.,
Berne carefully stepped into the bat

crouched low, and it would have been
extremely hard to guess what he was
up to. His great play, however. was
his ability to dump the ball and beat
out the throw to first. 1t developed,
presently, that this was now his in
tention and that the RUDE knew it and
pitched him the one ball which is al
most impossible to bunt-a high in
curve, over the inside corner. There
was no mistaking the Rube's magni-
hcent control. True as plumb line
he shot up the ball-once, twice, and
Berne fouled both-two strikes.
