PARTIAL PAYMENT
 PLAN IS FAVORED
Third Liberty Loan Workers Are
 Ready for Task

Boston, March 2.-Remarkable re- suits attended the sale of the first ana second Liberty Bonds on the par tlal payment plan inaugurated by Morgan G. Bulkeley, president of the Aetna Life Insurance company, of Hartford, Conn.
 In approaching the third Liberty Loan those interested in financing the war will find in these results con- vincing proof of the wisdom of the partial payment plan. Ex-Governor Bulkeley wisely put out a 2O-pay- ment plan, rather than one calling for shorter term His argument being, ''When you do anything for anybody do not make it hard for him to accept. but make it easy"
 The ftgurcs given below do not in c'udo the subscription made by the Aetna Life Insurance company, but only those amounts sold on the par tial payment plan to factories and employees Newspaper advartisin& was used to bring the offer made by Mir. Bulkelcy before the people Of the state, and the results of each campaign testify. not only to tho wisdom of the plan, but to the clIi- cacy of newspaper advertising in selling the bonds.
 So many people throughout Con- necticut bought bonds under MT. RulkelCy's offer that the company employs d permanent force of twelve clerks and has opened a special of flee to handle Liberty Loan business.
 To the first loan 12, 474 subscribers took $1,330, 500 of the bonds; of those subscribing, 1866 cancelled, the can ccIlation amounting to $156,050. In the second loan 7.G31 subscribers bought S2.O63,05O of the bonds and of these only T01 cancelled. the amount of the cancellation being the insignificant sum of S49,90O.
 The results of the partial payment sales of the first and second bonds total 30,105 subscrihcrs; $3,593, $50 in bonds bought; of these 2,667 have cancelled, the cancellations amount ing to but S205, 950
 These remarkable figures should build up an enthusiastic desire to increase the sale of bonds on the partial payment plan during the forthcoming campaign.

 The paper cloth in question is not a regular paper but is made of warns spun from flores made of liquid cellulOse or wood pulp and woven like cloth, with warp and wool. It is expected in Germany that paper cloth will dominate the market for some time after the conclusion of the war; owing to the difficulty of getting supplies of cotton.

Rice warned against too optimistic
views, The fliers know that the Ger
mans have prepared and are prepar-
ing line after line of trenches, built
with reinforced concrete to which
they can fall back, and which it re.
Quires the heaviest artillery to crush.
1t is going to require much hard fight
ing before the victory is won. And it
will take money, money and more
money. A whole national debt of a
smaller country is shot away every
day. 1t is our duty to give every.
thing we have, If necessary, to win the
fight.
The German has been taught
from childhood to be patriotic and
loyal to his Fatherland, and it makes
him very formidable enemy. Japan's
system is similar and the JAPANESE

Major Rice talked strongly against
giving money to misapplied charities.
He said every project for which mon
ey was solicited for the war should
be closely investigated.
There is no question but we are 20.

question is how long it is going to
take us to do it.
Major Answers Questions.
Several questions were asked Major
Rice at the close, some of which he
| refused to answer for military rea-
sons. In regard to the mail service,
he said he had received seven letters
| in the five and one-half months he
was in France. He had no remedy to
suggest. He said it was up to the peo-
| pie at home.
At the close of the meeting Judge
Gilbert presented Major Rice with a
| silver cigarette case and match box,
suitably engraved, as a token Of the
! love and esteem Of his home people,
and said he hoped he would always
carry it with him to remind him of
the home folks. Major Rice responded
gracefully. He said it was his one
| wish that he could go back, and
when he did he would show
| his companions this gift from his
home town and invite them to come
| after the war and visit his beautiful
| little native city in Minnesota, with
it's shady streets and pretty lawns.
Shows Equipment.

ment for a fiier with him and some
interesting relics which were exhibit
ed to an interested group after the
meeting. The gas mask was perhaps
the most interesting of these. A pin

YOU'LL NOT GET MORE THAN
50 PER CENT OF YOUR COAL

The County Fuel Committee has re-
ceived word from the State Admins
traitor that no one may receive hence
forth more than fifty per cent OF the
hard coal that they used last year.
Later, after all have received the fifty
percent, additional supplies may be-
come available, but the Committee
urges the use of as much soft coal
and wood during the fall months as
possible. The fuel problem promises
to become a serious one. The West
will not have the supply Of hard coal
that it had last winter The East has
insisted upon and has received larger
share than it had last winter when
there was a great shortage and some
suffering.

life but did not receive any answer.
Then one day through her presence
in an adjoining room, unsupported by
Mrs. Dover and Chesley, she was en-
lightened as to the reason for her be-
ing with them. He whom she had
called grandfather had died. When
she left him he seemed to have mystic
riously obtained large funds from some
source and made life continuous
feast until it overcame him.
And now Claribel learned that her
supposed grandfather knew no more Of
her parentage than herself. Chesley
had formed a scheme to adapt Clari-
bel to an imposture that would make
her an heiress. A very wealthy man
named Robert Dorr had quarreled with
both Of his children. The eldest, a
daughter, had married against his will
and he had banished her. She and
her husband had died in the South,
their child later in an orphan asylum
it was supposed.
The two specious schemers had
hoped to foist Claribel on the old man
as his granddaughter. They had Sc
, cured certain belongings Of the dead
child, had framed up plausible evil
dence. They intended first to obtain
a rich reward for the recovery of the
child from Robert Dorr and later use
Claribel to extort money from.
The moment Claribel had overheard
oil h1 %ho< Doh
was the father of her musician friend.
Into her quick mind came a decision
to cater to the fraud, and later-she
had her plan, clever little counter plot
ter that she was!
The old man accepted her with eager
ness and affection. Within a month
she was his hearts delight. Gradual
~ Claribel learned of the details of
his senseless quarrel with his banished
son. Through an agent she had STAN
ley Dorr hunted up. His father was
stupefied one day to enter the library
him.
In maze he listened to her con-
fession, with softening heart he
realized his injustice to his son, Clar-
ibel had outwitted the human ghouls
who counted on using her for their
nefariOus schemes.
''Take back your son, dear, dear
grandfather" pleaded Claribel, "and
can go back to rags and poverty con-
tent and happy"
But it was not to be. She had WOW
en- a strong chain of leve.about the
heart Of Robert Dorr and he would
not let her 60. And as to Stanley,
how could he help but love this noble
young girl, who had thought only Of

Both Of them say they fought un-
der your father in the Civil war;" he
stated.
Never was there such a welcome re-
ceptiOn as that with which the colonel
received his honored guests. He in
vited them to dinner he showed them
all over the camp, he started them
back home, pleased and satisfied.
"Gentlemen," he told them on part
Ing, "you want to do your bit, and you
can do it best at home. I am going
to obtain for you regular commits
sion to do duty in the line of encourage
Ing enlistment. I want you to get up
home guard company at Acton. With
your noble example, and drum and
horn, and mass meetings, you sure will
shame slackers and encourage many
a wavering young man to enlist"
He sent them home in his own auto
mobile: The story got about, and two
evenings later twenty of the older men
Of the town inaugurated the home
guard movement. Isaac and Silas, as
"chiefs," began to feel that they were
quite In military service again.
1t was in the parades that were to
be feature Of the campaign that the
two veterans expected to shine. So
far, Silas had not had opportunity or
occasion to display his skill on the cor
net.
I'm coming over to your house to-
morrow afternoon to practice" OBJ
served Isaac.
I'll be ready for you," promised
Silas, and Mrs. Duane, daughter and
her two children were in the garden
when Isaac arrived with his drum.
Silas had produced the time-worn case
containing the cornet. It had been
shut so long that he had to disarranre
the lock to get it open.
Here we are" he announced, taking
out the furnished thing Of brass and
ivory-headed valves. "You get the mu-
sic ready while I shine her up.
Wough there's dust for you!"
He blew through the mouthpiece and
a cloud of dust from the bell end of
the instrument and a yellow, cob
Webbed paper came out.
"Wonder nest of mice don't come
next!" laughed Silas.
"Why! Hey! See here!'
The old man had unfolded the paper
with good deal of excitement. He
passed 1t to Silas. The latter stared.
Then he yelled out to his daughter.
Nellie, the mortgage receipt! Just
where your ma hid it in the old horn
years ago! The old house back
again!"
ooh, we're rich! We're rich"
"And all through Silas and l running

Ready to go-and able?' questioned
Isaac Downing.
Fit as fiddle, yes! !" answered Silas
Green with vim, and drawing himself
up straight as poker.
AT midnight. That's the program"
"Good! Secret as the grave, you know
Nuns the word" and Silas pressed
a significant finger to his lips, while
Isaac looked mysteriously tragic and
Impressive. Then the latter winked
significantly and Silas bllnked with a
knowing air and the remark: Nov
don't oversleep yourself, Isaac"
mot Likely" was the prompt retort,
'as I'm now too stirred up to sleep at
all. Be sure to be at the rendezvous
at midnight, sharp"
Trust me-" Wanted old Silas.
"Don't forget the drum"
"Oh, I planted that in an old hay
stack before daylight this morning.
And how about the horn, Silas?"
up on a shelf in the woodshed.
Dunno, but It may take me few days
to get the run of the horn"
The two old men parted. Isaac lived
with an old maid cousin in an humble
way on his pension and interest from
an investment left him by brother.
Silas lived with his son-in-law. He
had once a home of his own, had bor-
rowed two thousand dollars on it, had
paid 1t off, had given the receipt for
the money to his wife and had thought
no more about 1t. Before Silas had
got the notes and release from him,
the mortgage died, and soon thereaf-
ter the wife of Silas. The mortgages
lawyenfound the uncanceled notes and
demanded payment. Silas searched
for his receipt, could not find it, and
lost his home.
And now, month after the entrance
Of their country into the European
war, Isaac and Silas, veterans of the
sixties, had their patriotic fervor
aroused to fever heat.
= "1t's true, we're old, and crippled, but
we want to fight again." was their ar
dent sentiment, and they mourned that
the army could find no use for men
over seventy.
'There must be some place for will
ing patriots like u.s." insisted Isaac.
"I'll wager down at Prescott, where
the cantonment Is, they'd find some
odd war corner to fit us into"
And out of the thought came grand
scheme that the veterans were about
to put into execution. Plainly, they
decided to run away from home. Like
two truant boys they discussed their
wonderful plan. While the cousin Of
Isaac and the daughter Of Silas and
the family slept serenely, the two old
fellows were silently trudging down
the road leading to Prescott.
j They had one man in mind-Colonel
sDavenal. It was at his office at head
quarters that they applied about noon
the next day. The adjutant who ques-
toned them as to their mission smiled
quietly as they proffered their request.

To the children of the city grouped
about the wretched settlement she had
become champion, guide and leader.
Somehow she had learned to read, and
for doing some errands for an old book
store proprietor she had been given a
dozen tattered picture volumes and
fairy stories, and after that she was
educator and entertainer for her little
ragged friends.
It was matter Of marvel and mys-
terry for Claribel when, one day, her
grandfather announced to her that they
were about to part, and pointing to the
little den of closet where she slept,
Informed her there were some new
clothes for her.
"Why have we got to part, grand
father, and am I to leave here for

The man was sinister looking, the

It was when Claribel had learned
