Waldemar emerged from the hotel.
Half an hours ride brought them
TO the lively suburban city of Harri-
sonia, gay with flags and bunting.
From the railroad station. where the
guest of honor was to be met by the
old coach, to the spot where the civic
statue awaited its unwilling at his
hands, was about half a mile along
Harrison avenue, the principal street.
The walk along this street developed
nothing of interest to Average Jones
until they reached the statue. Here
he paused to look curiously at num-
Der of square platforms built out from
windows in the business blocks.

Waldemar. "One of them is our pa

He turned to the glass front Of

south side of the avenue and pointed
to shattered hole in the window.

The governor took the advertise

he asked, handing it back.

my mind. my best chance of safety
lies in never thinking of danger"
What is the program of the day,

Rather a theatrical one. I'm to

AS he spoke, the Advisor was lead
ing the way across the street. With
upturned face he carefully studied the
steel joists from end to end. Pres
emily ne pointed. Following the line
OF his finger Waldemar saw a raw
scar on the under side of one of the
joists.
There it IS" said Average Jones.
"The sights were trife off at the
first shot, and the bullet licked the
steel and detected

mar.

Average Jones. "Now, Waldemar, l
call your attention to that restaurant

go there and order luncheon for two

and back again. I'll be with you in
four minutes"
He was somewhat better than his
word. Dropping into the chair op-
posite his friend, he figured swiftly
and briefly on the back of an enve-
lope, which he returned to his pocket.

Comfortably fed, the two strolled
up to Spencer street and turned into
it, Average eying the upper windows
of the houses. He stopped in front
of an old-fashioned structure, which
was built on a different plan of floor
level from its smaller neighbors of
brick. Up the low steps went Jones,

with some interest.
Average Jones handed cigar to
Waldemar and lighted one himself.
Putting at it as he walked to the door.
he gazed casually around and finally
centered his attention on telegraph
pole standing on the edge of the side
walk. He even walked out and
around the pole. Returning. he re-

The tobacconist stared "All right, %

With silent curiosity Waldemar
watched Average Jones place the lad

length of string, to the ground, set a
careful knot inSsthe string and return

BRATTLEB0R0 LOCAL
SEARCH AND SEIZURE.
Sheriff Mann Gives Comprehensive Pa
per Before Vermont Association of
Sheriffs in Burlington.

Sheriff Clifford E. Mann of Brattle-
boro, sheriff for Windham county, gave
an interesting and comprehensive. pa
per on Search and Seizure yesterday
in meeting of the Vermont Associa-
ton of Sheriffs in Burlington.
He spoke of the numerous reforms
which have been effected since the
early days when kings claimed the
right to search and seize property
without authority of law and said that
the article in the constitution of Yer
mont which declared that persons had
a right to hold themselves and their
possessions free from search and seiz-
ure unless on warrants having suffi
Gent foundation stands today prac
tically DIS first written.
This constitutional guaranty does not
prevent the search of a person legally
arrested on criminal charge, and if
evidence is found it may be seized
without violating aas constitutional
right. ss.
To search in the night satisfactory
evidence must be brought before two
justices in order to secure a warrant.
For a search in the day time one JUS
tice may issue a search warrant.
The most important duties which an
officer has to perform in connection
with search and seizure rests in the
execution of the law in relation to in
toxicating liquors. An officer may ar
rest person whom he finds in the act
of unlawfully selling or transporting
such liquors, but to Justify him in
searching for liquor in dwelling
house he must have warrant. He
NAV search without n warrant if he
has information that liquors are being
kept with intent to sell in tent,
shanty, hut or place of any kind for
selling refreshments in a public place
on or near the grounds of a cattle
show, muster or public occasion of any
kind.
There are many other things for
which an officer may search, for in
stance, where dead bodies have been
disinterred, and in connection with the
execution of the fish and game laws.
Some uncertainties exist as to the
limitations of sheriff in regard to
searches, especially in connection with
the fish and game laws. cit is always
bctter.v said Sheriff Mann, for an
officer to be backed by some warrant
for his acts and then follow fully the
directions contained in that warrant In
that way he protects himself, protects
his bondsman, and in the case of a
deputy sheriff protect his principal. y

Bailey's Tuesday afternoon. The roll
call was answered with quotations
from Scandinavian Mythology. A pa
per by Mrs. A. F. Fisher on Norway
was of intense interest A study of
the strange land, strange customs and
strange faith made the story a very
realistic one, and Mrs. Fisher was able,
in her own inimitable manner, to pre-

humorous way, making it an hour of
rare entertainment Nature will be
