Following the meeting, the annua

There were not as many of the alumni
back as usual, but the student body at
tending was larger. A wellserved ban
quet having been disposed of, the chair,
were pushed back and the program, un
der the supervision of Rev. George
Spencer of Boston, was given. Mr.
Spencer is graduate in the class OF
SO and was very entertaining in his
remarks about the school days gone
by as he introduced the different
speakers.
Probably none brought forth more
cheers than when DIR. Hatch told the
students that he looked forward to a
81 100000 endowment, beautifying the
campus $4,000 worth and investing
100000 in new dormitories. He also
expressed his appreciation of the as.
sistance that faculty, trustees and stu
dents have given him. He told the stu
dents that it was quality of personnel
that is being selected this year, because
in registering the new students the
number is limited, there not being room
for as many as were received last fall,
when over l25 appeared as freshmen.

Benjamin Hayward Resigns City Posi-
tions-New Fire Truck Not
Satisfactory.

| The Montpelier city council had a
real session last evening, although only
five motions were made outside of the
usual ones that provided for payment
Of bills and granting permits. The mo-
tions started off with acceptance of
Benjamin Hayward's resignation as
commissioner of water and sewers and
city engineer. Provision for buying a
new fire truck was made, and the street
committee was given authority to hire
an engineer; but the Office of water
commissioner was left untitled until a
special meeting, Alderman Yeti offer
ing to take charge of the duties. n
Three milk licenses were granted,
namely, to C. NJ Virgins, j. A. Bots
vert and John Hale. The lighting com
mittee was authorized to arrange the
lights on River street SO that Taplin
street would be safely illuminated at
the foot of the rest.
Mr.. Hayward's resignation was re-
ceived and accepted by the council be-
fore Alderman Yeti arrived. After 9TH
er business was done, the oratory com
menced, of which members of the wa
ter committee furnished the most, al
though some of the other aldermen
were able to get in word occasionally.
Alderman Farrar nominated w. A.
Pattee for the position of superinten-
dent of water and sewers, but Alder
man Kelly wanted TO let the matter
alone for a few days. This brought
about a general discussion, and the
ma iority of the council members did not
want to select man at that time.
Alderman Farrar withdrew his motion,
and then the water committee center
tanned" as to who should handle the
work. Alderman Bowers asked Alder
man Yeti If he would do it. Alderman
Yeti replied he could if it became nee
essary. Alderman Farrar was interro-
gated as to whether he would handle
the work, and hot shots passed along
that side of the council Finally, the
matter was left with Alderman Yeti,
his offer being accepted
Carlton Maxim, senior member OF
the Maxim Motor company, was pres
ent and stated to the council that the

pelier did not meet the requirements OF /

Different members of the council had
seen what the machine viii do, and
while it is not expected that any ma
chine win climb some of the hills that
has, nevertheless better
truck is desired, and Mr.. Maxim of
tered to place before the council for its
Investigation a six.cylinder truck, du
the rest of the truck which is

f the machine is satisfactory to the
council This will be placed here with

Mr.. Maxim said the truck which he
brought here would be sold before the

The Collisions, and Laura London.
Curly was awakened by the sound
Of the cook beating the call to break
fast on a triangle. Buck was standing
beside the bed.
How're they coming this glad

grin.

"Good as the wheat, doc says. Mighty
lucky for Mr.. G. Flandrau that he is.
Say, I'm to be yore valley and help

Buck escorted his prisoner over to
the ranch messhouse. The others had
finished breakfast but Maloney was
still eating. His mouth was full of
hot cakes, but he nodded across at
Curly in a casual friendly way.
"How's the villain in the play this
m%o'ning?" be inquired.
Twenty-one usually looks on the
cheerful side of life. Curly had for
gotten for the moment about what
had happened to his friend Mac. He
did not remember that he was in the
shadow of a penitentiary sentence.
The sun was shining out Of a deep
blue sky. The vigor Of youth flowed
through his veins. He was hungry and
a good breakfast was before him. For
the present these were enough.
"Me, I'm feeling a heap better than
I was last night" he admitted.
"Came pretty neal losing you out of
the cast, didn't wee"
Might a-turned out that way if the
stage manager had not remembered
the right cue in time"
The heart of the prisoner went out
to this man who was reaching a hand
to him in his trouble. He had always
known that Maloney vas true and
steady as a snubbing post, but he had
not looked for any kindness from him.

debt of hate he owed the former
sheriff than by making his son a vii
lain?
The little doctor came briskly into
the room.
Everybody out but the nurse.
You've had company enough for n
day, Luck" he announced cheerily.
Kate followed Maloney and his pris-
oner to the porch.
"About the letters of your friend
that was shot," she said to Curly.
doctor Brown was telling me what
you said. TIL see they reach Miss An
derson. Do you know in what res
taurant she works?"
mo. Mac didn't tell me-" The boy
gulped to swallow an unexpected lump
in his throat. "They was expecting to
get married soon."
"I-Ill write to her." Kate promised,
her eyes misty.
I'D be obliged, miss. Mac was a
good boy. Anyone will tell you that.
And he was awful fond Of her. He
talked about her that last night before
the camp fire. Bad companions got
him going wrong, but he sure would
have settled down into q good man.
That's straight goods. too. You write
it strong"
1--WE changed my mind. I'll not
write but go to see her."
Curly could only look his thanks.
Words seemed strangely inadequate.
But Kate understood the boys un-
spoken wish and nodded her head re-
assuringly as he left the room.
Kite Bonfls. and Maloney took Curly
back to Saguache and turned him over
to Sheriff Bolt.
How about bailT" Maloney asked.
The sheriff smiled. He was a long
lean leather-faced man with friendly
eyes from which humorous wrinkles
radiated.
"Oh. say two thousand"
you're on"
"What"
a c~ow-puncher with fifty dollars two
weeks after pay day was a rarity. No
wonder Bolt was surprised.
Its not my money. Luck Cullison
is going bail for him." Maloney x
planned.
luck Cullison!" Maloney's words
had surprised the exclamation from
Curly. Why should the owner Of the
Circle G of all men go bail for him?
The sheriff commented dryly on the
fact. II thought this kid was the one
that shot him."
ana, was just a nappenstance.
Curly shot to save his bacon. Luck
don't hold any grudge."
Bolt belonged to the political party
opposed to Cullison. He had been
backed by Cass Fendrick, a sheepman
in feud with the cattle interests and in
particular with the Circle G outfit. But
he could not go back on his word. He
and Maloney called together on the
district attorney. An hour later Dick
returned to the Jail.
"It's all right, kid" he told Curly.
"You can shake off the dust of Sa-
guache from your hoofs till court
meets in September"
To Flandrau the news seemed too
good for the truth. Less than twenty
four hours ago he had been waiting
for the end of the road with a rope
around his neck. Now he was free to
slip a saddle Oh his pony Keno and
gallop off as soon as he pleased.
While he and Maloney were sitting
opposite each other at the New
Orleans Hash House waiting for a big
steak with onions he asked questions.
II don't savvy Cullison's play. Why
for is he digging up two thousand for
me? How does he know I won't cut
my stick for Mexico? Do you suppose

Presently Doctor Brown gave him a

after that Curly fell asleep and
dreamed about a slim dark girl with
fine long-lashed eyes that could be
both tender and ferocious.
