KENT'S HILL NOTES

The concert Monday evening is a
sure sign that the rural districts are
gradually coming into their own again
in finding good wholesome amusement
in fun of their own making. The chill
dren of the local Methodist Sunday
school invited their friends to a we'll
planned and beautifully executed pro-
gram of music and oratory. A large
delegation of visitors from Readfield
Corner were invited and just before
the magic hours of shutdown, could be
seen climbing the famous old hill
numerous conveyances, from the old
time double scatter to the modern high
power automobile. each with it's load
of young people, parents and friends of
the children of the Readfield Sabbath
school, and others. Many came afoot
and found this mode of travel quite
enjoyable as it promotes the best of
good fellowship. In about three weeks
the Kent's Hill neighbors will return
the visit of yesterday when the boys
and girls of Readfeld will give SINH
lar concert in the Methodist chapel at
the Corner.
The opening number was an organ
voluntary played by Mrs. w. F..
Morse, and this gave many of the Wis
itors their first opportunity to hear the
magnificent new Carnegie organ. Mrs.
Morse is a performer Of known ability
and her part of the program was es-
pecially attractive. The readings by
the children were well received and
were we'll given as each teacher in the
Sunday school took it upon herself to
train the members of her class in
dividually. This eliminated the tedt-
Gus rehearsals often required.
Grace Palmer. Thomas Averill, Mae
Oliver, Iva Tibbetts, Joyce and Dor
othy Brown. Rodman Palmer. John
Strout and Jessie Bishop were the
principal performers. A beautiful
patriotic number was performed by
Mrs. Chase's class and they showed
excellent training 10th in expression
and enuncation. A sextette composed
of Edward Wills. Ralph Lane, Harold
Brooks, Hazel Tibbetts, Jessie Bishop
and Iva Tibbetts rendered a good &C
count of themselves in 1.-THE Silver
Cord" Ralph Lane played a beautiful
violin solo with organ accompaniment.
Professor Clarke made the address to
the children. The program was given
with spirit and the audience were well
Taeased with the calibre Of the per
formers. Such gatherings promote
community spirit and add greatly to
the value of rural life.

enough how he had spent his time. Al
though he was jumpy and irritable, he
seemed determined by an assumption
Of high spirits and exaggerated friend
liness to avert criticism. Since Alaire
spared him all reproaches, his efforts
seemed to meet with admirable sue
cess. Now Eds opinion of women was
not high, for those with whom he ha-
hitually associated We're of small in
telligencc; and, seeing that his wife
continued to manifest complete in
difference TO his past actions, he de-
cidcd that his apprehensions had been

evidently dulled her suspicious, and he
was little sorry he had taken pains

CHAPTER XVI.
The Crash,

The several days following Dawes

spent in delightful reverie. She had
80 often wrested with the question Of
divorce That she had begun to weary
Of It. She gave up trying at length
and for the time being rested content
In the knowledge that she loved and
was loved. A week passed while she
hugged her thoughts to her breast, and
then one evening she rode home to
learn that Ed had returned from San
Antonio.
But Ed wns III, and he did not ap-
pear at dinner 1t had been years
since either had dared invade the 9th
er's privacy, and now lnasmuch as her
husband did not send for her, Alaire
did not presume to offer her services as
nurse. As Il matter Of fact, she con-
sldercd this quite unnecessary, for she
felt sure that he was either suffering
the customary after effects Of visit to
the city or else that he lacked the
moral courage to undertake an expa-
nation Of his hurried flight from the
ranch. In either event she was glad
he kept to his room.
When Austin made his appearance
on the day following his return, his
bleared eyes, his puffy, pasty cheeks

HALLOWEEN ENTERTAINMENT

Burkc's Garden, Nov. 13.-At 1880
O'Clock tho people of Burke's Garden
gathered together at the school house
to enjoy n halloween entertainment,
given by the high school pupils. The
guests were met at the door by Jack
Frost and Star Witch, who took
them down the receiving line, intro
ducing them TO the witch of tho
Moon, Witch Blue Lightning, Witch
OF the Red Cloud, Witch of the Fire,
Witch of Darkness, and Ghosts,
Roaring Thunder and Hail Stone.
From the receiving line the guests
went to Il corner where Witch of the
Fire gave each n fortune written on
II paper cat or pumpkin. In another
corner was the witch of the Moon,
telling fortunes with daisies and in
another corner was Witch of Dark
ness reading the future in the palms
of the hands.
A prize was offered to the person
who would cat an apple suspended
from wire across the room. The
School Superintendent happened to
have the largest mouth, so he re-
ceived the prize which was bag
of popcorn. Mr.. George Gosc receiv-
ed the "booby" prize Of pop corn,
because he did not know how to open
his mouth.
Little Albert (Junior) Greever
came out and gave Woo-oo, Woo-oo
recitation after which some pupils
sang a Woo-oo, Woo-oo song. Then
the Witch of the Moon came to the
front and gave reading, "The Bur-
glar," and Roaring Thunder told how
the frost was on the pumpkins and
the fodder in the shock. Then three
ghosts gave advice, the refrain of
which was, keep a-goin' and a goin'
and a-goin', with smiles by the mile.
Three Witches walled n tale of NOR
tai ways. A witch drill next follow
ed and the chasing of Tam o. Shan
ter and each witch tried to see
who could tell the scariest ghost tale.
Last of all came the grand parade
of all of the witches, ghosts, goblins,
and broknies of Burke's Garden, who
gave the people warning that the
witches, the ghosts, the bears, the
hobgoblins and other things would
get them if they did not get piano
for the school.
