HOLLANDS WINDMILLS.

It was at one time stated that there
wore in Holland at least 9,9OO large
windmills, Of which the sails ranged
from 60 to 100 feet long. At that time
their yearly cost was reported to be
nearly s1OOOO,OOO. The mills are used
for many purposes-for saving timber
heating hemp, grinding, but their prln-
cipal use has always been to pump wa
tor from the lowlands into the canals
TO protect the little country from be-
ing inundated.

"Of course you rec. What l would
like to know is why you fellows"
Boroday spread out his hands in his
foreign way.
II fear you give me great credit l
do not deserve II"
why you fellows" the chief went
on resolutely, waited to do this Job
until the rector, who is old and in
firm, had gone away and left a husky
young assistant in his place. And that
isn't all 1 want to know"
In any way that can assist you
"What the devil do you mean"
yelled the chief, ''by shooting a man
down and then going away and, leav
ing the money in his pockets? It's
it's crude-its wasteful"
The Russians fingers twitched In
spite of him. The chief saw 1t and
smiled under his heavy mustache.
do you mean that somebody shot
this-er-assistant you speak Of? That
is rather sad. Was there much
money!"
"Seventy-eight thousand dollars"
said the chief, and put his cigar back
in his mouth. There is story be-
hind it, Boroday, and it's that story l
am going to get. I'm warning you be-
cause you've played pretty square with
me. 1 needed that pearl in my busi-
ness"
Boroday rose.
"All right, chief" he said. II am
sorry about young Ward. I hope he
wasn't killed"
"He wasn't killed." replied the chief.
"And 1 haven't said his name was
Ward. If you haven't had your break
fast yet, we might breakfast together.
I oversight and haven't had time for
anything"
Ward came back to consciousness In
the great four-poster bedstead IN
which old Hilary Kingston had lain in
state. He felt very little pain and no
curiosity at all as to his surroundings,
only an overwhelming lassitude and
weariness of life. Something-some-
thing that mattered very much had
gone out of existence. He could not
remember what it was.
There was q uniformed nurse by the
bed. He had a curious antipathy to
asking her anything. He had made
promise of secrecy to someone
about what?
Toward evening he had managed to
evolve out of his revivlng conscious
ness some faint memory Of what had
happened to him. He remembered that
he was walking down hill and that
he had fallen forward For quite
half-hour, late in the afternoon. he
struggled to remember why he had
gone down the hill.
Their he got it. He had been up at
the hall to see Elinor. 1t was Elinor
who had gone out Of his life. Elinor |!
Elinor!
He slept very little during the night.
and as his fever rose, he called the
nurse "Elinor," and begged her fran
tically to tell him that something was
not true.
"Of course it is not true" said the
nurse, who was accustomed to being
called various things.
"You did not mean 1t at all?" He
eyed her wistfully. The nurse was
large and plain, with wide, fiat face.
"You, with the eyes Of saint" said
poor Ward. ito try to tell me that you
are wicked. l see that it is impos-
sible. 1 think can sleep now"
The nurse put her hand. which was
large and ill-shaped but very light and
tender, on his head. And so he went
to sleep.
When he was quite settled, the nurse
went out into the hall where Elinor
was sitting on a straight clair. She
had sat there almost all o. the time
since Ward was carried up the night
before

New York, Nov GA man who is believed to be a German spy was found on board one, of the American army transports and removed to an army post .near New York by Gov- ernment agents.

GOVERNOR URGES
 PEOPLE TO ASSIST
States Chief Executive Calls Up- ,A
 on the Populace to Do Their Bit

Hartford, Nov. Ex-Governor Marcus the War Camp Community Recrea- ton fund and its purposes spoke highly of the work being done by the Commission on Training Camp Ac- tivities and urged the people of Con- necticut to do their share by gener- Nous contributions in making the move ,ment a success. He said:
 "No one whose heart has followed the soldiers from their Connecticut homes to the strange environs of distant camps and cantonments can hesitate to endorse any movement that will guard Connecticut's sons against unhealthy surroundings or make their daily life more pleasant and whole- some. The War Camp Community Recreation fund, by endeavoring to substitute proper recreational activi- ties for the dangerous relaSations ito which the soldiers are exposed in their hours Of liberty away from camp, is contributing greatly to the comfort and safety of the men in their ab- sence from the home. At the same time the fund is one in which all lSwho 7 have the interest of the state and na- ton at heart should take aAdeep in- tcrest, by removing dangerous temp tations 1t preserves as efficient fight ing men soldiers who might other wise become handicaps instead of as- sets to the army. For the sake of tho men who are fighting for us, for the sake of the home which they have left and to which they must return and for the sake of the nation and cause iii which it is fighting, I would urge Connecticut men and women to sup port strongly the movement of the commission on training camp activi- ties.'
 The War Camp Community Recrea- ton fund campaign in Connecticut started today with Q meeting of its organizers at tha state capitol and the Iappointment by the Connecticut State Copncil of Defense and the Connectiddt Chamber of Commerce of the following state committee: Walter L. Goodwin, Hartford, chairman, Ed , ward F. Jones, Winsted, Walter Camp, Hartford, Major Frank H. Johnson, New Britain William F. Whitmore, Hartford. F.~ |

WON BY HARRIET DAILY
Championship Taken From Miss
MerrimOn After Gritty Exhibition.

Miss Harriet Daily is today tennis
champion OF the Bristol School Tennis
Association in singles. Semi-nnaI and
final rounds were played yesterday.
Miss Daily won her way to the
finals by defeating Miss Dick go, 81.
Miss Adelaide Merrimon, runner-up,

4-6. Ga victory over Miss Jeanette
Warner.
Finals Well Played.
In the finals Miss Daily and Miss
Merrimon played one OF the prettiest
and most brilliant matches ever wit.
messed at Bristol. Miss Daily won the
school championship 81, O-6, and rs,
and was presented with a beautiful
silver loving cup. It took three sets
to decide the match. Miss Merrimon
deserves great credit, for, although
she was the loser, she put UP a bril-
liant and gritty exhibition. After her
hard match with Miss Warner in the
morning her hands were blistered so
badly that she had to play the finals
with her right hand bandaged with
adhesive plaster. Miss Daily uses a
half lofford stroke, while Miss Merri.
mon used the chop.
Net Work Good.
Both the contestants played a
steady game, Miss Merrimon doing her
best work at the net. while Miss Daily
played the back court. Miss MerrImon
was at her best in the second set,
which she won 6 love, aceinE her op-
ponent seven times in four OF the
games. Miss Daily won the FIRST set
8 to 4, and when Miss Merrimon de-
feated her so handily in the second
every one thought that she would win
the match, but the champion tied the
last set-up at ) all, then was success
full in the next two games, winning Z
to 5. After the match the association
decided that the tournament should
be an annual affair.

that the national commission, which

bring about the reduction Of the play.
er limit in each major league to
eighteen men
The commission has no Jurisdiction
in this matter. It Is a question to be
decided by the major leagues. A week
ago last Saturday, during the National
League meeting here, the club owners,
including Herman. voted to stick to
the twenty-five player limit
So far 6he American League has
shown no Inclination to abolish the
twenty-five player limit which is in
vogue in that circuit II the major
sagues decide that expenses must be
,-il,cs -. sEair way would be TO al
l. eadh Club to do its own cutting.
Some clubs can easily AFFORD TO
carry twenty-five or twenty-five with
out losing money. Furthermore, there
seems to be no great reason to make
use OF the pruning knife at this time.
It may be necessary to cut expenses
70 the bone next year, but that Is a
long way on.
Clubs that are struggling along in
the second divisioneprobably will ex-
perience poor business at the turn
stiles, but that is all in the game. The
owners Of the first four teams in each
circuit. are thoroughly satisfied with
the attendance figures. 1t will not be
denied that the time is coming when
