Bristol Brsss Company Flnished Con-,
 tracts for Metals for warrinG Powers-Geo. s. Babcoclk Reported
 Dyfng-Local Bank Frosperous.
 Having completed his inspection of the work done by tho Bristol Brass. company for European powers. J. g. McGibbon. . metal expert who has been making his home in Plainviile for several months. was ordered to- day to proceed tonight to Ontario, where he is to become assistant to the Canadian administrator in connection with the manufacture of munitions for the British government. He does . not expect to have to return to Con- nectcut, the Bristol company having finished all it's contracts with the warning powers.
 According to MT. McGibbon the only contract from European govern ments which the Bristol company has yet to finish is an order from Holland, more than half of which has beSh completed. More than four hundred thousand pounds of brass arc Tt the factory ready for shipment to the Netherlands.
 While q British subject and afnM- ated with the Canadian board of munitions, MT. McGibbon worked here in the interests of the Russian and French governments, both of which had orders for brass with the Bristol company. His services were loaned to Great Britain's allies . short time after the war started and he has since been overseeing work. done under contracts which they made. He has been here for seven months.
 MT. McGibbon is recognized as one of the best metal experts in Canada. He is an authority on metal mixtures and is the author of . book on the market and it is expected that 1t will have a big demand among industrial workers.
 Unless there is a decided change in conditions. MT. McGibbon now expects Great Britain and her colonies will be able to supply a great part of the munitions it requires and should the United States enter the war fac tories in this country will be able to turn out the materials needed by Uncle sam. Tn Ontario, the Canadian government now operates live large mills. which are devoted exclusively to the manufacture of munitions or accoutrements for the soldiers. Other cities in the dominion have similar plants.
 George s. Babcoclx Sinking.
 George S. Babcock, for years q conspicuous figure in Plainville's political life, is reported to be in a dying condition at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel Gloriant of Whiting street. and his death is thought to be but a matter of hours. MT. Babcock was stricken with paralytic shock while calling at his daughters home Saturday night. He has since been in an unconscious state and Is gradually growing weaker. Dr. l.. H. Frost, the attending physician, holds out but little hope for his fecovery.
 For over a year MT. Babcock has been failing steadily ana his activi- ties in connection with town affairs have been few for long time.
 Until illness forced his retirement. George. as he is familiarity known. was prominent in the political affairs of the community. He had the reputa- ton of being the champion title holder of the state, holding perhaps more political of1ces at the some time than any other man. His eccen- tricities made him conspicuous and he

he knew that he loved her. Her hel p
lessness, her charm, the bond between
them had created an intimacy that was
infinitely sweet He had been offered
a new position in the West. One night
he took his courage In his hands and
asked her to be his wife and go with
him where all memory of the past could
be forgotten.
He knew by her looks that she loved
him. But she would not.
at is your pity for me, Ronald, not

"You acted rightly" he cried, hotly.

But on the next day something hap
pened which drove all thoughts of parting
from their heads. The wife of the muir
dered man was arrested charged with
the crime
1t was known that she had been in
the city that day. She had threat
ened him; the negro ianitOr identified her
as the woman he had seen near the apart
ment house And Ronald and Helen
watched the unfolding Of the grim trial
with dismay-
On the evening before the last day
Helen spoke to Ronald about what lay
uppermost IN her mind

victed," she cried. 81 must go down to
the court and offer my confession"
Ronald could not dissuade her He

And all day they sat in the dreary
courtroom listening to the intolerably
long summing I'D. The jury had at
last retired. Ronald had persuaded Helen
not to speak unless the verdict was
guilty"
1t was hours before the jury returned.
A murmur spread through the court
room. The face of the foreman was
deadly white He trembled and looked
away from the prisoners stralnlng eyes
There could be no doubt what the YER

Suddenly Helen sprang to her feet
Ronald rose and kept his arm about her.
She faced the prisoner and stretched
out her hand.
But before a word could leave her

Cray rose and took her by the hands
81 am a friend" he answered You
are safe here-safe to come or to 60"
She burst into hysterical sobbing.
When at last he had quoted her the girl
told Cray her story.
She had met man in her home in
Virginia, three months before. He had
asked her to be his wife. Her parents
mistrusted him; she followed him stealth
lily, to learn too late that all that had
been said about him was true He was
a gambler, a swindler She remembered
those three months with loathing. Her
horror of him had grown He had
deceived her with a mock ceremony,
lied to her-at last she had learned that
he had a wife already.
She had written home, but her letters
were returned unanswered. She had
nowhere to turn, she was ignorant OF any
trade and the man held her by his lying
vorce, he said; he loved her; for her sake
he would reform, if only she would trust
him.
She had waited for him the evening
before; then there was dreadful blank
in her mind, and she had recovered to
find herself standing over the body.
And she had fled wildly for shelter
Cray patted her hands. You stay
with me until the trouble blows over."

She looked at him helpIessly al
am so ignorant" she wept. 81 must
trust you. l have nobody else
"You will not regret it." said Cray
And he knew the girl was safe there.
Nobody came to call at his little apart
ment.
The murder occupied two columns
of his morning paper, but the only clue
was that afforded by a negro janitOr,
who had seen a woman ascending the
steps few minutes before the tragedy.
And he stated that her hair was fair.
The unknown woman's was ebony dark.
Grey felt safe.
The poniard was found, but gave no
clue. And gradually the interest waned-
Nobody knew the murdered man, who
had very good reasons for Disgusting
his identity
As the days passed Helen Ware came
to trust Cray absolutely. She cooked
for him, mended his clothes, resolutely
refused to take the money that he pressed
upon her. Il can never forget what /
owe YOU" she would say. But some
times there void be spells of weeping.
Il did not mean to kill him." the girl
would moan. 81 do not remember
anything, except sitting at home waiting

flats around him
Two months before he had been sum-
moned home from New Mexico, where
his power dam had made him famous,
to take charge of the engineering de
partment of his company at headquar
tiers His salary was ample, he had
wealth, he was only twenty-five; yet he
had managed to make no acquaintance
in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average clty-bred
young man; he thought the metropolis
stiff and its people devoid of interest.
Suddenly, rs he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and specializing
how many thousand lives ran on in them,
a light sprang into being in the building
opposite, on the fifth floor, on level
with his Behind a drawn shade he
saw the silhouette of a man.
He was stopping over a table and, as
Cray watched, he saw the shadow OF a
woman behind him. Suddenly her hand
plunged downward The elongated OBJ
ject in it looked like a poniard- 1t
struck the man in the side of the neck
and he rolled over
The woman stood looking at him for
a moment; then. with a gesture of tri-
umph, she flung the ponlard out OF the
window, raising the shade a little, Cray
heard a metallic tinkle In the court below.
Then followed darkness.
He leaned out, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing 1t
real How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang
He went out into the passage and was,
standing outside the door, one of the
most beautiful women whom he had
ever met She was twenty-three OF
four Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity, her hair was disheveled and
her hands were red
''Save me, Hide mel Help mel" she
pleaded.
GRAY did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and led
her to the bathroom He filled the basin
and washed her hands, drying them on
towel afterward Then he took heI
into his spare room
You're quite safe here" he said ii
a low voice Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in a corner, glaring a
him like hunted beast He heSltated
then he closed and bolted the window
and withdrew, leaving the door open
For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, tina
she would try to plunge down into thu
court below But hardly sound came
from the room. When at last he re
turned she was lying on the floor asleep
He placed her on the couch and sh,

HALlECK WOMAN HAS
FIGHT WITH COYOTE

A communication came TO this Of
fee today from Halleck which states
that Mrs. q. ID. Boyd had an expert
cncc with coyote last week which
ended in the death of the animal, and
this made the eleventh coyote that has
been killed at the Boyd farm this win
ter.
II is not known whether or not the
coyote was afflicted with rabies. but
his actions seemed to indicate that it
was. If the animal was not rabid il
certainly was most bold.
Mrs. Boyd was at her home on Rab-
bit Creek with only her two small
children when she saw a coyote come
near the house and seize one OF her
ducks from the yard. Mrs. Boyd hur-
ricdIy grasped a broom and went to
attack the animal.
The coyote did not run until she had
struck it with the broom, and then
it dropped the duck, but did not go
far until it turned and assumed a
bclligercnt attitude. He stood thus a
few moments and then ran into the
corral where he siezed n goose and
was about TO destroy the fowl when
the wOman's screams brought her two
dogs to the scene and they soon killed
the coyote.
