Stonington High won her second victory of the season Saturday by de- feating the Norwich Y Nj. c. A. by the score of [ to 6, It was a close, clean, hard fought game. It must be taken under consideration that. the '. M. c. A. boys did not have the prac- tice that the Stonington boys had. However, the Norwich players knew how to take refeat, and one would think after looking at them that they were the winning team.

TIPS ON SNIPE SHOOTING If You Are Going After Snipe Will Pay to Read This Article.
By a Snipe Shooter

By a Snipe Shooter
 A gun will get wet and rusty, no matter how much care is taken of it; sand will get on the bolts, and if a hammer gun, between the hammers and the locks, in the holes for the plungers, and in every conceivable place in which a grain of sand can lodge. A hammerless gun is the best form of gun to use; there are not many places for sand and rust to lodge.
 The stool or decoys used in snipe shooting. yellowleg stool are the best while on the beach any kind can be used. You have doubtless read or heard of gunners using skimmock shells in place of stool; they are per do not mislead yourself with the be- haps better than no stool at all, but lief that they are as good as we'll formed tin or wooden stool.
 The Reason Why.
 There are many excellent reasons why stool should be placed to lee ward of the blind. Snipe as a rule when coming to stool always come in from leeward. If your decoys are to windward of your blind you will have to be craning your neck around to watch the birds. while with stool to | leeward every snipe will be in plain sight.
 In setting out decoys always tick them up in water if possible; stool in the water will show up much better | than those on land. Do not make the mistake of putting the stool in one little bunch; spread them out well and if twenty five or thirty stool are used, you will be surprised at the showing they will make.
 There is another little trick in set ting out stool that ofttimes gives the gunner a better shot Put the stool well to the right of the blind; then aftex you have shot your first barrel into flock, the rest of the birds will be to the right of you which is much handler than turning to the left for l the next shot

:: THE WIFE ::
By JANE PHELPS

MT be 50 kind to me" she said to her
self as she sunk her teeth in a delicious
peach, and opened magazine.
That she herself was the cause of
this kindness, she never dreamed. It
was because of her value as business
asset. She must work terribly hard to
make good. She had such a wonderful
chance. SO she thought, for bit, af-
ter Mr. Mandel left her Then her mind
reverted to Brian, as usual. She wonder
ed what he was doing. 1t was near din
ner time Would he go home and have
his dinner! Or would he take Mollie
King and 60 to some restaurant AnG
spend the EVENING" She never yet had
visoned him as spending the evening
at Mollie's little studio. In some way
had not occurred to her.
But Ruth was young, vitally alive,
and easily interested. She never had
Travelled west before, and soon gave
up all thoughts of home and business
to watch the shifting scenery. Until
y was too dark to see, she looked from
the window upon the new country con
stantly unfolding to her gaze. Then
she went into the dining car and had
her dinner
But after she had gone to bed in the
narrow berth in the state room Mr..
Mandel had secured for her, her
thoughts again sought out Brian, and
she lay wondering what he was doing.

RUTH PLANS TO BRING HER OLD
NURSE TO LIVE WITH HER
OHAPTER XLIV

CHAPTER XkIY
Ruth had been planning, for some
time, TO bring old Rachel north as soon
as she could afford It. 1t seemed to
her, now that she had daint place
to live, she longed for her "mammy
more than ever. While Mrs. Crawford
was good cook and kept the place
very clean; she never had been accus-
toned to waiting either on the table,
or helping her mistress. Ruth missed
the little attentions Rachel always had
given her, and now that she was 50
busy at the shop they would be doubly
welcome.
As she packed her Things to 90 away
the thought came to her that, the very
next raise she had, she would send for
Rachel. The thought made her smile
thru her tears. 1t would be heavenly
once more to have some one of her
very own with her
In the morninp Brian had partly
forgotten his crouch and she left him
i'm a much better humor than she ex.
pected from his actions of the night be-
fore.
"Don't mope' she said when she
kissed him goodbye, That was as much
as she, could bring herself to say, She
hoped he wouldn Z spend his time with
Mollie King.
When she left, that afternoon, Ar
thur Mandel went to the train with
her. He had few directions he want
ed to give her, he had said-things he
had overlooked.
Ruth had no faintest idea that it
was an excuse to be with her, away
from the prying eyes of the clerks
Neither had she mistrusted that Mr.
Mandel knew that Brian was with Mol
lie King when she was in Philadelphia;
or that he also had seen them togeth-
er that day in Washington Square. Yet
all these things were so. And like most
men Of the world. Mande put his own
construction on what he had seen,
knowing nothing at all about the cir
cumstanees,
He insisted upon stopping at one Of
theAvenue fruit shops and buying Ruth
basket of fruit Then when they reach
ed the station he bought the late mag
azines and papers, In every way pos
sible he looked after her comfort, and
she was grateful. But one word from
Brian a simple telephone message, ev-
en-, bidding her goodbye, would have
meant more to her than all Arthur
Mandcl could have done, more than all
he did. Yet it was but natural that she
should be pleased at the attention her
employer pave her.

Tonight another state fair passes into history. War
conditions were against such an exhibit the good old
state usually puts up and yet despite this the falling off
in the exhibits was only in quantity and not in quality
The attendance too lighter than usual taken the far
through but that was caused by light attendance on the
first and last two days Salem and Portland days. espec
tally the latter were up to the old standard and this was
largely due to the Elks who simply crowded the big
grounds to overowing on their day. Taken as whole
the fair can be considered genuine success.
