CHAPTER Xxx.
The Beginning.

BY the light Of a single candle Pedro
the meager belongings that his so
journ in the old studio had brought
together. He went about the task
with reluctance, but with the weary
resignation Of those who receive an
unalterable decree from fate. and
recognize 1t as such.
One by one his little personal things

brushes, a gay necktie. and a minia-
ture plaster cast OF Leigh's "sleeping
bear"
When these had been put in. and
still a little room remained. he hest.
tated a moment, and then, going to
the heap Of sketches and small can
vases with which the rack was filled,
deliberated among them for a while:
taking up first this one and then that,
with loving hands. and throwing each
in turn back upon the shelf from
whence 1t came. Finally sorrowfvl
shake of the head dismissed them all.
"Of what use to take any," said
Pedro aloud. But nevertheless. he
stood brooding over them for quite a
time.
By the fire lay Mr.. Jones, blinking
alphabetically. With sigh Pedro
turned at last from these children OF
his mind. and set about arranging the
two rooms-the studio and bedroom
exactly as he had found them.
In the first place there were the pic
tures-his pictures! From the big
easel the Madonna Lady" smiled
wanly upon her young creator-a
beautiful. crude, unfinished thing. its
possibilities beckoning enticingly
from behind the haze of its incom-
pleteness. Then there were the 9th.
ers. Significantly Pedro glanced from
them in the direction of the fireplace,
and heaved another sigh. No! that
was impossible; infanticide! It could
not be done! Yet, who would care for
them. Leigh? Perhaps PHI.

the ever-smiling portrait Of Iris, he

folded bit of paper, left this message
atop the heap.
Next, he restored the furniture to its
original arrangement as nearly as he
could remember 1t. and bringing forth

which most OF them had been repos.
ing. set them around. even as he had
found them, down to putting the un.
finished portrait Of the banker upon
the throne from which the Madonna
had just been taken. When this was
done, the studio took on such an un'
familiar atmosphere that lump arose
in Pedro's throat. It seemed such q
concrete representation OF how com.

VERMONT CROPS LEAD.

The monthly crop report for June,
ISSUED by the United States department
Of agriculture, in its estimated crop
conditions June l. 1916, shows that Yer

Union in condition Of hay with a per-
centaEe of 1oi. compared with per-
centage of 9o3 for the United states as

THE EASEMENT CASE.

An echo of the recent Sim Fein uprising
viction and sentence to death Of Sir
Roger Easement. one Of the leaders, in
these words by the lord chief justice OF
England. Viscount Reading: Roger
David Easement. you have been found
guilty by jury of your peers of high
treason, the highest crime known to
law. The sentence of the court is thar
you be hanged by the neck until you
are dead"
That tells the whole story in nut
shell. but there are many interesting
details, Easement came to the Irish
coast from Germany. and it IT claimed
that the plot Ton the uprising was
Matched in the Kaisers country. The
counsel argued that an act of treason
against Great Britain can never be
committed outside Of the territory of
Great Britain, This was ruled out by
the court and it is so absurd that one
wonders it was ever seriously urged.
The jury agreed upon verdict In
less than an hour. When the GUS
tomary question was put as to whether
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced. Easement
read carefully written speech. He
contended that he had been uncon-
stitutionally deprived of his right to be
tried in Ireland, whore he landed and

where he committed an offense II any
where; that he was brought under All
assumed name by stealth to England
for arraignment before foreign
tribunal
Comment afterward went to the length
OF predicting that In view OF this plea
he never will be hanged. But that re
mains to BIO seen. In Ireland they have
been saying all along that Easement
would escape the death penalty because
he is an Ulster man and Protestant,
and no Protestant has been executed in
connection with rebellion in Ireland"
Then his shrewd hits at Attorney
General smith-"My Right Honorable
Accuser," he termed him for his active
and prominent association with the
Ulster Orange Volunteer movement with
its threat of contingent rebellion also
went homo.
He was guilty If I am, but he did
1t believing 1t would carry him to the
woosack; I did It knowing It would
carry me to the dock. It is taking him
to the woolsack and it certainly has
brought me to the dock"
When tho previous convictions and
executions in connection with this up.
rising took place, we held that the
British authorities made n tremendous
mistake In falling to commute the SEN
fences OF the men to life imprisonment,
or to shorter terms as we're given some
of the lesser lights in the movement If
the government is to follow preceden.
thus recently established it can not
commute the sentence of Sir Roger
Easement. If the same rule had been
applied to the others as Is now propose
in his case, we believe it would have
been wise move. Whether it would
now be wise to make an exception In the
case of n major offender who conspreii
on foreign soil against his home govern
ment is seriously to be questioned.

HUGHES GETTING THE PARTY TO-
GE1'IIE'R.

Most republican candidates for tho
presidency have started out with
united party. They have faced no other
task except to use the party machinery
already in existence to meet and over
come the opposing parties. Mr.. Hughes
Is confronted by a far different situation
from that Of most of his predecessors
Before beginning his campaign Mr.
Hughes must merge and unite thoroughly
two party organizations. He must effect
the fusing of the rank and file of two
wings of a long split political party anc
Becure their harmonious cooperation
in a presidential canvass This is the
work now engaging the attention Of Mr.
Hughes in addition TO the preparation OF
his speech of acceptance.
What is known as the "old guard"

Hughes. while open-handed with all
factions. belongs to the progressive
republican element. and, even If this
.Were not so' ne TeaIlZeS that he must
have the support of the progressives as
well as Of the conservatives and vice
versa. If he is TO lead the party to vic

Hughes throughout the campaign.
According to advices from New York
Mr. Hughes desires to have this or
ganization thoroughly contaminated be-
, fore the official notification takes place
Instead OF the formal notification at the
hands of few men, with the public
largely excluded. Mr.. Hughes Is anxious
to have his notification made a republi-

The present plan is to have the
notification ceremonies held in some
great auditorium in New York city like
Madison Square Garden, Cooper Union
or Carnegie hail. Mr.. Hughes wants

THE CRUSADE AGAINST TUPERCU-
IOSIS.

The Vermont State board Of health Is
! tuberculosis. Gratifying progress has
lecn made in Vermont ms we'll as in
other States in the adoption of proven
tive measures. but much remains to be
| done here as well as elsewhere. DR..
Dalton, secretary OF the State board,
in a statement with reference to
the situation says;
For the prevention of tuberculosis, 1T
is necessary to go to the source of
contagion, which Is generally recognized
to-day to be the INDECENT careless
patient Children In the home with such
II patient are almost certainly doomed
to develop tuberculosis sometime in their
lives. To minimize this source of dan
ger in Vermont and to give our boys
and girls who have lived in such homes
very chance of growing up to health
fui manhood and womanhood is the main
reason for organizing the Vermont AS
I

We are sure that the public spirited
PEOPLE of Vermont will respond to an
appeal like this. The Vermont sanat0riun-
at Pittsford, with which the Proctor
name is inseparaby associated. has

very nature Of the situation but a small

Those who brave the dangers of

cod, are to be looked after by Uncle
Sam. The men Of the big fishing feet
which puts OF from the New England

The fishing craft which seek the

ground fish on the Georges have mea-
ger facilities for men who become dis
abled, and the usual program has been
that when a man got sick he had to

covery. being out Of reach Of physi

boats and lives are lost, with numbers
more of men injured.
The national government has placed
the coast guard cutter Androscoggin

Smith promised to send along the
next good specimen Of burglar that
came his way and forgot all about
the matter until some weeks later he
received this letter from Brown:
