MARY FAHEYrs BROTHER
 APPEALS FROM PROBATE.
Cornelius Donahue Brings Action to Break the Will of Norwich Woman.

An appeal from probate of the will of Mary Fahey, late of this city, of which Rev. Hugh Treanor of Water bury is executor, has been brought by Mrs. Fahey's brother Cornelius Dona- hue, to whom she left S100 in her will.
 In the appeal, which was filed on Friday at the office of the clerk of the superior court, Brown & Perkins, the attorneys for MT. DonafIue, give as reasons for appeal that the will was not made, subscribed and published by her and was not attested by three wit nesses. each of them subscribing in the presence of Mary F'ahey, according to law. They also claim that Mary Fahey at the time the pretended will purports to have been made was an old woman, feeble and infirm in mind and body, incapable of managing her own affairs, and not mentally capable of making the will, and that by reason of the persuasions and undue influ- ence practiced upon her by Rev. Hugh Treanor and others to the appellant unknown she was induced to make and subscribe the pretended will
 The will which it is attempted to break was dated Oct. l, 1907, and was admitted to probate in the Norwich probate court on Nov. 19, 1915. In ii Mrs. Fahey left all but the $100 be- queathed to her brother to St. Patrick church in this city. The estate, it is understood, amounts to several thou- sand dollars.

...ScarIet Plague.
BY Jack Loudon
By Jack Loudon

one In million, or, rather, in sew
a millions, for the proportion was at
last that.
For two days sheltered in a pleas
ant grove where there had been no
deaths. In those days, while badly de-
pressed and believing that my turn
would come at any moment, neverthe-
less | rested and recuperated. So did
the pony. And on the third day, put.
ting what small store of timed pro.
visions | possessed on the pony's back,
started on across very lonely land.
Not live man, woman or child did
encounter, though the dead were every
where Food, however, was abundant,
The land then was not as it is now.
1t was all cleared of trees and brush,
and 1t was cultivated The food for
millions of mouths was growing, ripen-
ing and going to waste From the
fields and orchards | gathered yege-
tables, fruit and berries. Around the
deserted farmhouses | got eggs and
caught chickens. And frequently |
found supplies Of timed provisions in
the storerooms
"A strange thing was what was TAX
Ing place with all the domestic AMI
mails. The chickens and ducks were
the first to be destroyed, while the
pigs were the first to go wild, followed
by the cats Nor were the dogs long
In adapting themselves to the changed
conditions There was a veritable
plague of dogs. They devoured the
corpses, parked and howled during the
nights, and in the daytime skunk about
in the distance AS the time went by
| noticed a change in their behavior.
AT first they were apart from one an
other, very suspicious and very prone
to fight, but after not very long while
they began to come together and run
In packs. The dog, you see, always
was social animal, and this was true
before ever he came to be domesti-
Gated by man. In the last days of the
world, before the plague, there were
many, many very different kinds of
dogs-dogs without hair and dogs with
warm fur, dogs so small that they
would make scarcely mouthful for
other dogs that were as large as noun
tain lions Well, all the small dogs,
and the weak types, were killed by
their fellows Also, the very large ones
were not adapted for the wild life and
bred out. AS a result the many differ
emit kinds of dogs disappeared, and
there remained only, running in packs,
the medium-sized wolfish dogs that
you know today.
1.-THE horses also went wild and all
the fine breeds we had degenerated
into the small mustang you know to-
day. The COWS likewise went wild, as
did the pigeons and the sheep. And
that a few of the chickens survived
you know yourself. But the wild
chicken of today is quite a different
thing from the chickens we had in
those days.
