Raemaekers' cartoonh teach the les
son OF terrible barbarity OF the Ger

menace OF German autocracy and the
brutality OF German acts.
OF Great Interest.

cartoonist, as his pictures show"

SIXTEENTH EPISODE
A Modern Pirate

People who raise children are sure
OF a life of surprises. They would
have more than they get II they could
see everything that goes on.
Pierpont Stafford had been kept
pretty well surprised Of late by his

piled. His heart ached at the sight Of
her beauty and at the adventurous
spirit which sent her tender body into
so much danger with SO few resources.
II won't let you quit my sight again,
Gloria," he said and stared with such
idolatry that she felt afraid that he
was loving her too well.
"Then you will come along and help
me to capture the man who killed my
beloved Dick"
"All right, captain" said Royce with
n plucky smile, though her ailusion to
Freneau cut him to the quick.
Judge Freeman seemed to be agi.

the pursuit and capture of Trask.
You must not permit this. Pierpont,"
he protested. anxiOusly. "Your daugh-
ter has no legal right to arrest the man
Trask. II she should capture him she
would have to turn him over to the
authorities and she would have to face
a public explanation"
Gloria retorted with vigor: "You had
him, Judge, and you said that he
slipped out Of your fingers. Now you
advise me not to go after him again.
You let him escape once and want me
to let him escape a second time. Why,
I do not know. Why don't you tell me

Judge Freeman looked away guiltily.
His eyes turned to Pisrpont and his
answer was to him and not to Gloria.

such cruise Is no place for girl Of
Gloria's position and breeding"
That's true" said Pierpont. Its

PROVIDED ROOMS
FOR OFFICIALS
How Situation Similar to That in Brat
tleboro Was Met by Barre When
Postofice Was Moved.

In deciding what to do with the
quarters now occupied by the postoffice
when the Office is moved into the
federal building it might not be a bad
idea for Brattleboro to profit if pos
sible by the experience of other places
Practically the same situation that
cOnfronts Brattleboro confronted the
city OF Barre a few years ago. The
following from the Barre Times may
be of value to this town in solving
the problem that is to come up soon:
''With the prospective completion of
its federal building in February, Brat
tlcbOrO faces the necessity of losing
) 200 annual income which the govern
meut paid for poStotlice quarters in the
town building, and The BrattlcborO
Reformer calls attention to the situa-
ton by explaining that the vacated
room might be rented to private par
ties or it could bc utilized for town
purposes, namely, Offices for some of
the most important public servants.
1.-The situation ia Brattleboro is
almost Identical withThat which faced
Barre a Few years ago. The federal
government had long been a tenant of
the city building, paying approximately
the same rental rs it pays now in
Bratteboro, but when the federal
building was completed it threw open
a large section of the first floor in the
city hall. Whether to forego the com
| Portable income accruing from the
rental of the space to private parties
or TO utilize the space for municipal
office room was a question of discus
sion; or rather il was question
whether the municipality could afford
! TO give up the annual rental and at
| the same time eXpend a considerable
sum of money in the rcaTanging OF
the partitions to suit the needs of
city officials The need of more room
/ for the municipal government was adj
mittcd.
% Finally, the decision was reached
to transform the quarters formerly oe.
cupicd by the poStctlice; and as a result
| the lower floor of the city hall is the
home of most of the important city
officials, and the accommodation to the
I public in knowing where to find Off
Gals during Office hours is very salts

rental was, of course, felt At the ont
set, but the feeling wore off and the
deficit was met in some other way.
