she said, her hand in his. Thank
you for everything"
Robert, holding the door for her,
whispered few words. With little
smile she nodded assent.

For a little neither of them spoke
This was their first meeting for three
days. Rachel's rehearsals had oCcu-
pied all her time during the last week
or two
The sheer JOY Of being together-

Suddenly Robert spoke.
Darling" he said, II dare say you
will think me jealous and induisitive,
but want to ask you something. Was
Gorde ever in love with YOU"
why do you ask" Rachel said,
and she felt her lips were dry. Her
voice quivered as she spoke.

INJURED.
The old dread of the afternoon came
over her again.
"Gorde was never in love with you,
was he, Rachel?" Roberts voice con-
rinued.
For an instant she was tempted to
tell the man she loved the whole truth
then once again the fear Of losing him
sssailcd her Words of his came back
to her mind-words which had burned
in her ears:

Never" she said quickly.
He bent and kissed her.
The one kiss intoxicated them both.
He took her in his arms and rained
kisses on her hair. her lips, her throat.
She leaned close to him.
He was so big, so strong, so brave;
II once they were married nothing

His arms clasped her more closely.
Il can't stand this eternal waiting,

Look here! VIII you marry me at
once? No one need know; we could

contract expires in three months, and

Don't you feel, too, he went on

JUDICIAL CONSOLIDATION.

as follows: Probate Judge W. \ Graham,
Municipal Judge r. T.. O'Brien and
Charles S. Albee went to Montpelier this
afternoon to be present at hearing on
bill which would do away with the West.
minister probate district. This would
take the office away from Bellows Falls
and make Brattleboro the center for all
probate business in Windham county. The
feeling here is strongly against the bill
The taxpayers Of the State as whole
have no anmus manifestly or any desire
to hit any individual in the matter of the
consolidation of probate districts or
municipal courts. This applies to Addison
county where the probate courts are
shown to be only thirteen miles apart
as we'll as Orange and other counties.
In Chittenden county, for example, a
host Of people would like to see Judge
Conlin Of Winooski enjoy personal profit
from the maintenance of separate
municipal court in that community. He
enjoys the esteem of all who know him
and he can boast of the highest standing
both in the community and in his
profession. One municipal court in this
region is. however, enough.
On tho other hand. it would unques-
tionably be Of great convenience to e host
Of people in the eastern part Of Chit
tenden county to have a separate probate
court in Richmond. but nobody would
dream of urging such rropos,r,on.
However Richmond is farther from Bur-
'ington than is Vergennes from Middle
bury.
The State must have one policy and
treat all sections and all communities
alike. unless there are very unusual
conditions to be overcome and uncommon
reasons why exceptions should be made

GERMAN PROPAGANDA VIA
MEXICO

One of the grim humors of the war stu
alton Is the effort of revolution-rocked
Mexico to essay the role of peacemaker
for the world in general. If that republic
had long enjoyed peace itself the attempt
to afford a solution of the European
problem, which has baffled not only the
United States but also the Vatican and
all neutral powers of the old world. would
be the height of presumption
When to this consideration is added the
fact that the Mexican leaders for years
have not been able to compose their own
differences on the field of battle and es-
tablish peace for themselves, a move on
their part to provide method of peace
for the world at large partakes of the ma
ture of opera bouffc.
When We go a step further and discov-
err that the plan proposed from Mexico
for the forcing of peace upon Europe is
to cut off munitions and other necessaries
which Germany futilely sought to per-
suade the United States to adopt, cit is
to laugh" On it's face this proposal
would seem to apply to all bclligerents
Reduced to its lowest terms the Mexican
proposition at this time means that the
United States should cut off all ammuni-
ton and other accessories from the en-
tentc allies. since the Germans are
securing nothing worthy of mention in
this direction from the new world While
the Deutschland was making her under
sea trips between Germany and the Uni
ted States. the Mexican proposition
would have hit the Kaiser's forces very
slightly. but now that it Is not deemed
wise in Berlin to continue even this spas
modic commerce with our people. Ger
many would not be affected in the slight
est degree by an embargo on supplies with
the old world
Moreover the Mexican proposal would
actually help Germany to starve England
and thus accomplish by indirection what
the Kaiser has set out to accomplish di-
rectly by instituting ruthless submarine
warfare within a prescribed gene about
the British Isles and In the Mediterrane-
m region.
This readiness on the part OF the pres
Ont de facto government OF Mexico to pull
tho Inunition chestnuts. out OF the inter-
national fire for Germany unquestionably
gives us hint Of what would actually
happen in the event OF hostilities between
Germany and the United States. The

If the two railroads carry out the plans

by the Central Vermont. namely, enlarge

means to put up brand new and bigger
freight house. and not merely move the
present building.

house south of the drawbridge and put in|
already about 80 carloads of ice. 1t Isl
