the assistance of the man who claim
 ed to own the animal, started on thel
 nine mile journey. An effort was made
 to lead the COW with a rope. but the
 COW would not lead at all and finally
 succeeded in breaking away and re-
 turned to the barn of the constable.
 After securing a much heavier rope a
 second effort was made to lead the an-
 imal, but she refused to be led and as final resort the COW was tied se- curely to the rear of the automobile and a new start was made. In the meantime the shades of night had ! been falling fast, as had the rain, which by this time was coming down | in sheets and after proceeding a short distance, the rope broke and the | COW was. free to roam once moie l winch she proceeded to do. picking out | a piece of woods filled with heavy, wet
 underbrush in which to do the roam- | ing. Just at this point in the road | there was at least six inches or more 1 of standing water into which the of ficers waded in making the search for i the COW. To further help the situa- | tion, it was discovered that the party
 had taken the wrong road and for the i time being were lost as to their bear ! ings. After spending over an hour ]
 COW, the officials efforts were reward ed and new and successful start was
 made. By this time the entire party
 was soaked to the skin, but all were good natured and pleased over having
 made a new start At this time it l was about ten p. m. and one of the of ficers began to think about somptuous
 dinner for which he had an engage
 ment in Willimantic at eight D. m. that evening, which engagement for 1 obvious reasons he was obliged to can
 cei. After a slow but careful trip over seven miles of roads covered in mud
 and water, the party reached their
 destination and landed the COW in the l barn of the man who claimed it's own 1 erShip From that point the car was 1 opened up and kept in high speed all l the way to this city, the officers arriv- | ing here about one a. m. The story as usual leaked out and for a few days l the men were subjected to considerable | joshing by their friends, one of whom 1 afterwards suggested that the only
 thing lacking in connection with the i strenuous afternoon and evening was 1 the words and music of the popular song, Wont You Wait Til the Cows Come Home"
 Up to Tuesday night there were ] | factories in the city which had not
 made any report of the amount col : l Iected for the Salvatio Army Home 1 Service Fund so it is impossible to determine whether the quota of $2400 | for the town of Windham has been reached. One of the committee in 1 charge of the local drive stated on 1 Tuesday night that at least $200o had 1 been raised with more in sight which ! had not been reported up to that time l Notwithstanding the fact that but d little more ($300) is needed to raise the quota, the drive will be continued right up to Thursday night. so that any who have not subscribed will have the opportunity to do so. The Salvation Army lassies, as everybody
 knows did a wonderful work for the
 boys in France. and the opportunity
 is given right here to show apprecia-
 ton of that work by not only sub
 scriGing the quota. but by oFersuo-
 scribins by a good margin. Those who wish may leave donations at the " Liberty Cottage, or the stores of D. T Dunn or Frank LombaTdo EnlDloNc5 of the American Thread Company rad subscribed SIP up to Tuesday night. | There will be a celebration of hol7 communion tomorrow (Thuysds = .DOIDlilS III iol. 1SduI ; JLplStO1d church, Thursday being Ascension Day.
