"fRECKLES"

Those who have read Gene Stratton-
Porter's charming story ''Freckles"
and loved the nameless waif for his
manly spirit, his Night wit, Irish lore,
and his beautiful songs; and who rev.
erence the ''Swamp Angel" for her
beauty and her chaste, womanly char
acter, will meet no disappointment in
the play.
''FreckIes" is proving still greater
success as song play than the novel,
which has been read by several million
people.
1t must not be understood that
"Freckles" is play essentially with a
love motive. because it is not. There is
plenty of action in the working out of
it's theme of the kind that "makes the

The play is great in its simplicity,
the story is of absorbing interest, and

N0N-PAYINC VENTURE

SEQUEL OF A HORSE DEAL.

| That the business of company owned
stations is non-paying venture was
evidenced last Friday at Cecilton, Nd,
when q pure-bred Percheron stallion
weighing when in condition, 1000
pounds, was sold for a bill to keep, at
the auction sale of John Anderson, for
the Insignificant sum of $1lO. This
horse. along with some eight or ten
others of the same kind, was sold about
eighteen months ago for $4,000, on the
company ownership basis, twenty-one
farrers subscribing $500 each toward
the purchase of horse.
AT the time the country about here
was invaded by horse salesmen, dis

each case native was hired to intro

were disposed of in New Castle apd
Cecil counties. From what can be
learned the ten will be disposed of for
bills of keep" within the next few
months. The one sold to the Middle
town farmers will be sold by Constable
Timmons at Townsend during the COM
ing week.
In each case the stations were repre-
sented to be sound in every way, and
to be imported Percheron stock. One
sold at Kirkwood was found to be blind
in one eye when he arrived at the sta
tion there, and one sold here was also
found to be unsound. The breeding of
both was traced, and it was disco ,ered
that they were bred in New York State.

The plan of the statesmen was to take
the notes of the farmers for $500 each.
with the promise that they could be re-
newed when due, should it not suit
them to make payment. In the case of
the Cecilton stallion the notes were
paid, but in the case of the Klrkwood

of counsel, the notes were not paid.

MADE IMPORTANT ARREST

Chief Of Police Hilyard assisted by
Railroad Policeman Cole, of Clayton,
made very important arrest last Sat.
urday night, when they apprehended
Joseph Porter, alias Jack Baker, alias
Jack Lee. alias Jack Davis, on war
rant issued at Clayton, for robbery.
Hilyard had been notified by State De-
tective Mccoy to be on the lookout for
Porter as he had information that Por-
ter had been in Middletown on the Sat-
urday night previous, and the arrest
was made by g photograph furnished
by the Detective Mccoy.
Porter was locked up in the town
lookup and given sweating" by the
two officers, and, it is said, made a
clean breast of. a series of petty rob-
berries last November in Clayton. 1t is
suspected that he may have committed
many of the same sort of thefts here
during the same month, as the methods
employed at both places were identi-
cally the same. A screwdriver was
used to raise windows on the ground
floor of the houses entered and only the
first floors were ransacked, very little
of value being taken from any of the
sixteen houses which were entered here.
The officers are rather Jubilant at the
capture and believe they have made an
important ''pick-up." He was taken
to Clayton by Officer Cole, where he
was given hearing on Monday. He is
about % years of age and of very good
appearance, and had been engaged at
work on the farm of Walter Deputy,
near Mt. Pleasant.
