THE STRANGE CASE
 OF MARY PAGE" (Copy1ight by the MctIur publcaions)
(Copy1ight 1915 by the Mcclure publications)

by me and cried, Mary! Mary-T have come to take you home ''
 Did Miss Page answer him ?'
 Nae she just shoollit her head and MT Langdon said, Miss Page is not going home yet But MT. Pollock was sair angry and shouted. What the devil have you got to do with it? Haven't you made trouble enough 9 y
 Did MT. Pollock make any move toward Miss Page
 Aye. He tookt a quick step for ward like he would carry her off. but the gude wife stoppit him. 'Yell ma move the puir lassie till she is warm and restit,' she said, and put her arms abOOt her and tookit her into the bedroom beyant. MT. Langdon helpit her, and when he came oot he said Miss Page will not return to her drunken father. My friend pr. Jamison and his wife will give her temporary shelter and the proper medical attcntiOn.'
 Did MT. Pollock acouiesce ?, Lang don's voice was dry with "reminiscences
 MT. Pollock was sair an-xy. and he said, Tt is not for you to say what my future wife shall do. I'll not have her put with your friends. She shall go home with mel can pro- tect her from her father I suppose you think you can carry her off right under my nose. Well, let me tell you that's called by an ugly name!' At that MT. Langdon shouts, What do you mean, Dave Pollock? Tell me what you mean by that' He lookit so fierce l feared a fight, so I went between them and said, 'Dinna fash NerselH like that. Think of the puir lassie-and be quiet Then I says to MT. Pollock, yell gang outside a bit and when the lassie is restit I'll let ye know -
 Did MT. Pollock go thcn?"
 Aye, for I went wi him to the door myself ''
 Were the men still outsde?''
 Ma, and it gi' me a shock like, for I cude see ma one exceptit the friends of MT. Pollock. The ithers had all slippt ava towards the town"
 Did you speak of their absence when you re-entered the cabin?"
 Ma for I had ither matters to make clear. l had made up ma mind that it was ma with MT. Pollock that the lassie should go, so I pit it tae MT. Langdon that wi my horse in the sleigh, we cude carry the lassie out the door to the kitchen and drive off, leavin' the gude wife to tell the ith- CTS"
 Did you carry this plan out?'
 Aye. We tillit the sleigh with blankets, and I pit my shotgun in the front and we helpit the lassic oot-'
 will you tell us p1ease,' broke in the Judge with some asperity, 'Wha1 you expected to do With a shot gun? 2 And little twinkle sparkled for ar instant in MacPherson's eyes. MT. Pollock was in an automobile,' he said, "and shot is a grand thing for tires. Nae doot you can guess yourself how much chance they have to escape it."
 A ripple of laughter swept through the room, instantly hushed at the warning frOwn of the Judge, and Mac Emerson. his huge brown hands grip ped about the edge of the stand , turned inQuiringly towards Langdon. Gro be continued.)

BIG OPENING NIGHT
 MONDAY, FOR KICK-IN

Those who hold forth in the under world have d language all their own, dialect that often gives the police of the metropolitan cities much cause for worry Prisoners at the bar have been able at times to carry on con- Versations among themselves without 1 bystanders gathering even d hint of what was said. All through the play that IS coming to the Lyceum next week there are touches of this magi- cal language, picked up by the au- thor of Kick h. on his various rounds through the lower sections of NeW York and San Francisco in search for stage material. The po- nee or various cities and investigators 1 Of the Department of Justice have in their possession several dictionaries of this underworld slang, so that much of it has been brought to the public attention through newspaper reports of murders and in various other ways An instance will serve to show the wonderful ingenuousness of the crook in handling his 'code,' thus: If a man of the underworld were telling of a pickpOcket friend who had failed to make enough money at his profes- sion and had turned to robbing houses. With the inevita ble ending, he would say, somewhat as follows: De dip turned gun to gloom easy kale and rocks. He faded all de harness bulls but a big bull sloughed him and it's him fer de stir or de big house. Dey was flaming fer his queen but he was game an wouldn't kick in.''
 It would take a Philadelphia law yer to unravel some of this talk and l,N De evinced so much interest in "Kick-In' the play that will give New Britainites an insight into the methods of the un- derworld, Manager Lynch has had compiled the following dictionary of terms used in the play and which will prove interesting and instructive to the many who are bent upon seeing the play.
 Dip ....... Pickpocket
 Gun" .... One who robs house
 Big House" State Pcnitentiary
 "Rocks' .......... Diamond

 "Gloomed' ...........T To steal

 Practically the whole house will be sold out for the opening performance Monday night which witnesses the return to New Britain of Mrs. Adelaide Hubbard the popular actress who scored in so many successes here last season. Mrs Hubbard has been in town almost all of the past week and when not rehearsing for her charac- ter part has been kept busy being en- tertained by her many friends and ad- mirers here Alfred Cross will have a real chance to distinguish himself in portrayal of "Chick" Hewes the reformed cook who gets in so much 1 trouble, and Miss Julie Herne is eX- pected to even overshadow her past , performances of emotional acting. 1 This time she will play "Molly,' the 1 beautiful young wife of "Chick."

"I don't see any sense in arguing," someone said to me the other day, "because no one ever convinces any body else.
 Personally, l am great believer in the value of arguing. It is to the mind what exercise is to the body. Nevertheless I can understand her feelings, because there are so many argum ments in which there isn't the slightest chance of anybody convin cing anyone else.
 Some Arguments Like Parallel Lines.
 It is perfectly useless for two peo- pie to argue when they have entirely different ideals, and ideals are the touchstone by which the matter of argument must be tried. For in stance, suppose two people are argu- ing as to the advisability of legisla- ton which restricts certain personal rights of all for the sake of those who have not enough self-control and education to use those rights wisely. If one party to the argument has as his ideal of right conduct the better ment and advancement of the whole
  no such ideal, what is the use of their arguing? All their premises must be different and no amount of argument can bring them to the same conclu- can bring them ot the same conclu- sion. Two parallel lines will never meet and two lines of argument will never meet if they start from different premises
 Beauty Lies Partly in the Eye That
 Looks Upon It.
 Agani, there is no use arguing mat ters of opinion, as, for instance, whether a face is pretty or not. Beauty lies half in the eye that sees it and no amount of words can alter an opinion which is founded on feel l ings rather than facts.
 Arguments in which the two parties 1 are using the terms which are the ; crux of the discussion in a different ! sense are absolutely futile. Many an l argument will vanish into thin air if

GREEN CORN ROAST
 AT bENHAM'S RANCH

A Green Corn Dance"? Mo-. but MT. Benham thinks there would have been, had there been music.
 Thirty people, mostly from William, assembled at the ranch of H.L.Benham four miles south of Town, last Sunday afternoon in anticipation of a green corn feast which was underway and ready at 7:30 pm The full me nu, however, was rosted, corn roasted potatoes and coffee.
 The preparation of this feast will be interesting to News read CTS and here is the modus oper- andi followed by Mr. Benham and his assistants:
 First a trench was dug 12 inch es deep and long enough to hold l2 dozen ears of corn, ,unshucked.- A fire of pine and oak was main tained in the trench for two and one half hours and then the coals were removed. The corn was then placed in the trench and potatoes were lad in the middle of the trench. Gunny sacks were then placed over the trench to keep out dirt and then all was covered with four inches of earth and on top of this: a good fire was maintained for five hours. The corn and pota-- toes were nicely cooked at the. end of the five hour period and they were then served. The party got away with 10 dozen ears-12O good big ears, under stand-four big ears apiece. Is more evidence needed to prove the quality of this feast? Then find it in the half bushel of roasted potatoes eaten.
 It was feast fit for the gods Indian gods, say and it was thoroly appreciated by the mor- tals present
 There was some rivalry in the feasting. MT. Beuham intimated, and in the competitive eating Jerrie Lee was accorded first. place with Mrs. Willis close sec ond. The party broke up at about g p. m. and left the Benham ranch, full and grateful.
 MT. Benham gathered his corn at just the right time and it was milky and sweet He has fine lot of roasting ears left in the field which requires only a short, time now to be fit to roast. But it would hardly be generous to- say more on this point.
 MT. Benham has a considera- ble acreage of field corn, too, which will make a crop with a little more time to mature.
