that he might cultivate portion be-
cause he was deprived of pastNrage.
This created a protest on the part of
the Society which claimed that he had
thereby broken his covenant in the
lease.
3. The defendant squarely states in
his evidence that he did not attempt
to take possession because of this
breach, but because of the rent not
being paid exactly on time. When he
closed and locked the gate he said to
the president Of the Society that he
was going to take possession of those
grounds and he testified, Il think
made it clear to him that the fact that
l took advantage Of doing so was on
account of the fact that they hadn't
offered to pay me the rent in the time
mentioned in the lease" This is in
accord with the brief statement Of the
defence filed by him.
The only question therefore to be de-
cided is whether the lease was forfeited
by reason of rental not being paid

lease | hold that it was not. The

September g. so that rent was due or
or before October &c, 1912.
The rent was neither paid nor tend
cred before the 80 days expired, but
the treasurer did tender a check for the
amount within two days thereafter, viz
On October 2Sth. The tender was al
first accompanied by a receipt stating
that the payment was made under pro.
test and that the Society did not by
making such payment waive any Of it:

PENDANT because of alleged improper
use Of the grounds by him. The de-

Victor Heath and His Chum Levine, Troop A. 3rd u S. Cavalry

Victor Heath, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles NJ. Heath Of Gage street, and
former student at Cony High school,
is at present with Troop A, Third t..
S. Cavalry, which has been stationed
for some time At" Brownville, Texas,
and is by this time either patroling the
border of Mexico or actively engaged
in running down Villa and his band.
Young Heath has a host of friends in
this city who will be interested to
learn that he has recently been pro-
NOTED to q position on the QuartermaS-
ters staff, that he las been seeing a
lot of active service, assisted at the
round up of bandits and border des-
peradoes, and is making a fine record
for himself

Victor is the type ot youthful Ameri-
can from which the finest soldiers are
made. He has the adventurous spirit
that surmounts all obstacles in the way
of danger, that welcomes anything m
volving personal peril. and he will
doubtless go far in the service of
Uncle Sam. He is doubtless having
the time Of his life. but he does not
forget the folks at home. writing

But don't worry, and do not get ex-
cited over newspaper talk, because by

really are. The newspapers do not
know a tenth part of the movements
that the l.. S. troops are making, for
these things are kept secret, and the
soldiers themselves dc not often know
much about Them

slowly closing in on Villa and his band
OF murderors, and that an Augusta boy
will have his full share in avenging
the crimes that have ben committed
and in restroing peace to that hot-hea
of insurrection and hloodshed Mexico.
Mrs. Heath is naturally very anxious
about her son. but she can justly be
proud of him, and it is the hope of all
his friends that he will return safe and
