LEFT SICK WIFE.
Former Policeman in Brattleboro Said to
Have Gone with Another Woman.

Brattleboro, May 23.-Charles III
Wood, day policeman since July of last
year, is no longer a member of the force,
| He has been traced as far as North
Adams. Mass. where he went by auto
mobile, accompanied by Mrs. j. r. Van
cor and her two younger sisters. At
North Adams Wood and Mrs. Vancor
are supposed to have boarded a train
for the west Woods wife is critically
i'll in the Memorial hospital here.
Mr., Vaueor, with whom Wood had
boarded during the illness OF his wife,
reported to States Attorney William r.
Daley yesterday the fact that his wife
had been missing since Monday noon.
Wood, during his noon hour Monday,
went to the tenement he has occupied
and told the landlady, Mrs. Louis Yeaw,
that he was going to the hospital to see
his wife. At that institution ii was said
that he had not been there in several
DAYS. He was seen Monday afternoon in
an automobile.
Monday evening, at a meeting of the
village commissioners, Wood failed OF
reappointment to the force but it was
not until yesterday that it was definitely
learned that he had left town and not
until Mr.. Vancor reported his wife miss
ing that it was learned that she had gone
with him.
Chief George Wilson was informed by
friend that Wood had asked him to
tell the chief to give his pay for the
week to Mrs. Wood at the hospital.
Wood received check for $50 few
DAYS ago from Attorney o. B. Hughes
in settlement of claim Wood and his
wife had against Mrs. Lucinda Marston
for the care of her sister, Mrs. Carlie
NJ. Henstis, who died in January. The
deal was a peculiar one in that Mrs.
Heustis gave at intervals notes of $50
each PAYABLE upon her death. Payment
OF the claim for $3.50 was refused by
her heirs and Wood brought suit but
the matter was settled out of court for
$3.50.
Mrs. Wood has been in poor health a
long time and has been in the hospital
here several times. Wood is a former
railroad man and at one time lived in
Conn. He is between 50 and
IS years old and Mrs. Vancor is consid-
erably younger.

As Blind as Love.

As the German army approached
Brussels in August, 1914. it was re-
ported that the invaders might shell
the city. In a high state Of alarm the
Chinese minister went to see our min
lister, Brand Whitlock, to see what
Whitlock meant to do in the event OF
bombardment.
Il do not believe there will be any
assault" said Whitlock. MY infor-
nation is that the authorities will sur
render Brussels to avoid any possible
ity OF damage. But if there should be
an engagement, and the Germans
should use their heavy guns, l shall
hoist the flag of my country over this
building, and l shall call upon my fell
low countrymen to come here for safe
ty and protection. | advise you to do
the same thing with regard to your
people,"
But, Mr.. Whitlock," murmured the
Chinaman in his polite but labored
English, "the cannon-he has no eyes!'

CURIOUS FRENCH U {
When Man and Wife Tried to Settle a
Dispute With Swords.

Ao
Charles Coypeau, Sieur d'Assouci, u
French poet ana musician of the sew
enteenth century. relates in~ one of
his Adventures" that his father and
mother were II day engaged i'll a dis
cussion upon questions Of law when
a dispute arose between them with
regard to the precise Specification and
bearing OF a provision in Justinian's
code with respect to the rights of
brothers.
Ultimately the quarrel waxed sofuri-
GUS that the disputants lost all control
Of themselves, defied each other to
single combat and proceeded to settle
their difference and determine the
mind of the ancient legislator by a
fight with swords.
This singular duel took place in their
sons presence. Coypeau pere was an
advocate by profession and a mem
Der of II of the French parliaments.
Madame was exceedingly diminutive
and had to wear exceptionally high
pattens to approach the ordinary stat
ure OF women, but she was fierce and
domineering in temper. The combat
appears to have been a drawn battle.
and the sense Of Justinian remained
as obscure and debatable as ever.
