then Granviile had not knopn the

Dho makes her tody IN the ioorld. He
liked Ldurers independence. He
thought thot she toould make good
mother for MS too little girls and
that her beauty tcould shine re-
splendently at the head Of his house.
As for ioUe, he had no time for that.
and Laurel did not discorer this fact
until oftercdrd. A son rds born 10

wasn't, hopeper, until he made loCc
to her one evening that he discovered
lust hoo much Laurel had changed
since her marriage TO him.
THERE is no breach so wide as th
l. one that can he created by two
people who deliberately misundcrstant
each other. It seemed to Granville il
the days that followed Laurels returr
that he rarely saw his wife, and nevei
alone. When they had first been mar
ried he had sometimes knocked at thu
door of her sitting room and come in fol
chat. Then he had never thought o.
making love to her, and she had beer
just as beautiful as she was now. Wha

During Laurel's visit out West
Marion Worth had tried with every
thing in her power TO attract Gran

credit if she succeeded in making 1t tn
least bit obvious that Granville was at

way. Her triumph had been too com

1t wasn't fair that any one woman
should have everything; the wealthics
and most important man, the mos
beautifully managed home, and in ad
dition to both of these things, SO mucl
beauty that she put every one else II
the shade. So that when Marion reall!

country club, women smiled maliciousl
and looked forward to something in

Granville came partly because he wa
lonely, and partly because he was curl

her fingers trembled as she slit the en- :
velope. She drew out the inclosure and
the long blue slip wavercd and blurred
before her eyes. It was check for two

She looked UP finally to meet Gran /.
ville's eyes across the table. She smiled
waveringly, and her eyes filed with

"I'm an author" she said, and then
was sorry she had told him. What did
n little paltry success Of this kind mean
to Granville. who met big successes
every day of his life? But there was
Tom Benton to tell. She could sec his
kind brown eyes now. They would light
up with pleasure, and Winona would
be speechless. She must run up TO town
this very day and tell them the news.
She swallowed her enthusiasm and
calmly handed the check across the table
without word. And with his new un
derstanding. with his intense love for
her, he realized that she was deliber-
ately refusing to share her small triumph
with him.

to take her in his arms and crush her

Inez F. Hall of that town was annulled
at the January term Of supreme court,
pleaded guilty in municipal court
Wednesday to the charge Of carrying
a concealed weapon and offered no tes-

then kill himself. He was fined SO and
costs, the sentence being suspended

under bonds to keep the peace for one
year on the other charge.
Clark was divorced from his first wife
in Massachusetts, but the decree had
not been signed Dec. .. 1918, when he
came to Camden and the ceremony was
performed which presumably made
him the husband Of Inez F. Hail.
The latter remained in ignorance of
the fact that 1t vas an illegal marriage

her step-daughter that Clark had not
received a divorce from his first wife.
An immediate separation followed and
proceedings were begun for an annul-

self. She said that on Monday he de-
manded her engagement ring and
threatened to kill her.

Maine Dairy Work

According to the annual report Of
Brooks Brown of Dover, the State
dairy instructor, which was made
public Thursday, 461 samples Of milk
and cream were purchased during the
past year from retail dealers residing
in "a different cities and towns scat
tered throughout the State. FIRE.
quent visits to a number Of cities
were necessary, due to an inferior
product being put out by a few deal
ers.
OF the samples collected. II were
found to be below the standard re-
quired by law in fat, and % in total
solids. Seventeen were watered, six
skinned and seven were dirty. Many
samples showed sediment but not
enough to be classed as dirty. Five
persons have been prosecuted and
convicted Of violations and Is cases
are pending.
while 1 feel sure that the num-
Der Of samples Of adulterated milk
and cream in proportion to the whole
number taken would not hold true il
samples could be obtained from all
dealers in the State, yet I do believe
that with more samples being taken
more interruptions dealers would be
discovered and brought to justice,
and this can only be done by employ
ing more inspectors" says Mr.. Brown
in his report
Two hundred and fifty diaries and
milk depots were visited during the
past year. Several visits have been
necessary in many cases. have en-
deavored to inspect at least a few Of
the places supplying milk to each OF
our larger towns or cities.
The majority Of the diaries in
spected have been satisfactory from
public health standpoint. The
owners have evidently tried to put a
good. clean product upon the market
and have endeavored to handle their
milk and cream according to sanitary
methods. There is, however, a fairly
large minority Of retail dealers in
this State. who, either because Of
carelessness or insufficient knowledge
of their business. are daily putting
