WISHING RING
Music Certainly Has Spice and pep
Big Crowd Expected.

| A big musical rehearsal was held Sun
! day with the orchestra, soloists and cho-
ruses, and musical critics present at the
rehearsal pronounce it to be the biggest.
best and snappiest musical comedy ever
produced in Barre.
When the curtain rings up on Thurs
day night at the opera house, people who
have been able TO secure seats will wit
ness musical treat that is decidedly
different from the usual run of amateur
performances, and with a swing that will
make many of the professional compan-
les look to their laurels.
Living is high, but laughter is cheap,
and "The Wishing Ring" is filled with
comedy of such a nature that it will
drive old man gloom out of the trenches
with a rush equal to that of the German
stampede, when Uncle Sans boys hit the
warpath.
"The Wishing Ring" has youth and
beauty in abundance, deliberately gowned
in beautiful costumes, and is a distinc-
tive contribution to the amateur stage
because of the artistic thoroughness of
detail in which it is staged.

Big Increase in Aluminium.

The domestic consumption of alumni
mum in 1916, according to estimates made
by J. NJ. Hill, of the U. S. geological sur
vey, of the department of the interior,
was over 100000 pounds. The esti-
mates are based on statistics of the do
nestle production for the year and of the
imports for nine months. This is an In
crease of more than 81 per cent over the
consumption of 1915. These estimates do
not include the consumption of second
airy aluminium obtained from scrap ma
terials, which is believed to have also in

| Miss Richlander's reply was mercifuI

The Lawrenceville Bank and Trust,
lately installed in its new marble-ve-
neered quarters, was only four squares
distant. As he was approaching the
corner, Smith saw that there were only
corridor and another in the railed-off
open space in front which held the
presidents desk and his own. Through
the big plate-glass windows he could
see Mr.. Durham. The president was
apparently at work, his portly figure
filing the padded sWing-chair. He had
one elbow on the desk, and the fingers
Of the uplifted hand were thrust into
his thick mop of hair.
Smith had his own keys and he let
himself in quietly through the door on
the side street. The night-watchmans
chair stood in its accustomed place in
the vault corridor, but it was empty.
To suspicious person the empty chair
might have had It's significance; but
Montague Smith was not suspicious.
The obvious conclusion was that Mr..
Durham had sent the Waterman forth
upon some errand; and the motive
needed not to be tagged as Interior.
Without meaning to be particularly
noiseless, Smith-rubber heels on tiled
floor asSlSting-was unlatching the
gate in the counter railing before his |
superior officer heard him and looked |
up. There was an irritable note in the |
presidents greeting.
ooh, it's you, at last, is it?" he |
'asped. "You have taken your own
,ood time about coming. It's half
lour and more since l sent that note to
our ROOM"

the cold, protrusiye eyes, the heavy
lips, and the dewlap lower law, was the
face Of a man who shoots to kill.

Smith nodded.
"Then you also know that the bank
