ST. ALBAN'S BELLS
BY CLEANER r. JOHNSON.


90. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndisate.D
Among the many cities, towns and
villages scattered over the world there
is not one which does not have some
particular characteristic some custom
which makes it apart from all Others
1t is the little village of st. Albans
situated among the broad. sloping hills
OF New England. which will perhaps
bring out this spirit most clearly. for
about its quaint custom the romance
of Anne Bryce and John Cameron is
woven.
On the slope behind st. Adams
stands small church, and by it's door
way one may read bronze tablet
stating that in 1865 the church was
erected by a certain Charles Long
worth in memory of his son, who died
for the Northern cause in 1861. AS
the old sexton comes up on his tour
Of work and inspection he will tell
you that whenever any festivity takes
place in the village it was the wish Of
the founder thai the bells in the ivy
Many times the bells had pealed
forth while Whitehead brides had
slipped elusively away with their hus-
bands, and it was on such an occasion
when the minister's son had been mar
ried that Anne Bryce and John Cam
eron were sitting on a grassy knoll
Overlooking the village.
1.-The Klondike calls me tomorrow,
Anne" he said gently. Then looking
toward the Northwest. "What a land
of promise! What shall not be able
to do for you when | return! And
then it will be but year or so before
/ am back again!"
'But year or So" Anne murmured.
'Rut. perhaps the next time the bells
of st. Adams ring it will be for you
and me. Anne"
The sun was setting. They rose and
walked slowly down into the village.
The next morning John Cameron, de-
parted for the klondike, and, as the
train slowly drew out from the station,
Anne waved goodbye with her hand
kerchfef, then quickly ruDDlng ner eyes
she went home to wait "fof year or
So"

haven't rung since he went away. He
hoped they would ring for us when
he returned. and l know they will"
And she set the dish of shelled peas
down with thud as if to emphasize
her determination. Joe arose awk-
wardly.

you may consider my proposal some

turned around for she saw q shadow
fall across the doorway.
A very different sort of man stood
before her now; pale, tired and hag-
CARED looking his face partly covered
by long beard. while his hair was
streaked with gray. For a moment
Anne looked startled. then with lit
tie cry she fairly flew to him.
John. waited oh. so long. but
you are here now. 1t all seems too
good to be true!"
"Yes-Anne. here | am. / haven't

her face-"Yes surely the bells of St
Adams will ring fer us as they never

COMMUNITY CHAUTAUQUA
MAY NOT RETURN IN 1921
This Years Deficit Scares off sigma
tories of New Contract

After playing in Middlebury for five
days, the Community Chautauqua
folded up its large tent and as noise
lessly as it came, made its exit, bound
for Quebec. The program did not
prove a success for the guarantors in
as much as they were obliged to pay
out of their own pockets about $500.
The dozen or more bus ness men who
generously stood the loss, and who
guaranteed last year the 1920 visit of
the Chautauqua were responsible for
whatever entertainment the hundreds
who attended each afternoon and eve
ming found in the Chautauqua roper
tory. Ever since the players and lee
turers started to come to Middlebury
on an annual visit, four years ago,
there has been a financial deficit. With
this discouraging feature and on ac-
count of displeasure caused by what
the guarantors termed lack of business
acumen on the part of the 1919 ad-
vance agent, the Chautauqua company
could not obtain the forty men and
women required to warrant their re-
turn in 1921 Several Of the terms of
the contract had been modified in fa-
vor of the signatories, but the dramatic
appeal for signatures made by their
business manager from the stage on
the closing night met with little res
pOnse.

MIDDLEBURY CELEBRATED
A QUIET FOURTH
The Baseball Team Wins at Lake
Dunmore

Mddlebury was a quiet sector in
the observance of the Fourth of July.
The stores were all closed and ex-
cept for a faint and scattered spit of a
firecracker both Sunday and Monday
were equally sabbatical in their ap-
parently undemonstrative recognition
of the nations Independence anniver-
sary. The streets were quite deserted
at noon of each day as soon as the
majority of the townsfolk could read
lily get into a car and depart for Lakes
Champlain and Dunmore or on longer
trips The number of automobile par
ties that passed through the town was
the largest of the year Ii was noted
that Massachusetts, and Connecticut
cars were more numerous than those
bearing the familiar Vermont license
plate
The most interesting event in the
afternoon at Lake Dunmore was the
double header of baseball In the first
game Bristol handily defeated the
Vergennes nine. Middlebury and Pitts
ford crossed bats in the second FRAY
and treated the fans to any number of
thrills. Kenworthy started for the
locals and lasted but two innings when
the visitors had piled up a lead of
eight runs. Gallipo succeeded him and
did very creditably Middlebury over
came that handicap of eight talles by
plucky baserunning and a few we'll
punched hits, winning out by final
score of lilo This was the third sue
cessive victory for the locals who have
not yet met defeat at the Lake.
The Sunday Community service
which was to have been held on the
green was transferred to the Memorial
Baptist church on account of the rain.
Prof Henri Williamson de Visme,
dean of the French Summer School,
was the orator of the occasion and
chose as his theme "The Relation of
the Family in the Past and Present
National Life" The service was most
ly patriotic in nature and largely at
tended.

TRAMP NEGRO SOUGHT
ON BURGLARY CHARGE
Invalid Cornwall Farmer Awakened by
Man Ransacking House

At one o'clock Wednesday morning
George Tulley, an invalid farmer of
Cornwall awoke to find a negro thief
in his room At his warning Get out
Of here or III shoot" the stranger made
hasty exit and has until now eluded
the most vigilant search of the county
officers.
The Tulley farm is situated in Corn
wall on the cross-road that leads from
East Middlebury to East Cornwall
At about eleven o'clock Tuesday fore
noon a negro applied to Mr.. Tulley for
work On being told that the three
men already employed there were suffi-
cient to furnish the labor of the farm,
the negro left the premises and was
seen no more during the day He was
described as six feet tall, about 100
pounds in weight and apparently be-
tween 30 and 80 years of age.
Mr.. Tulley next saw the colored man
in his room Wednesday morning. 1t
seemed that the farmers bedroom was
the last of the apartments of the house
to be visited by the thief, for examina-
tion showed that every drawer in the
house had been ransacked Even the
vases on the mantlepieces had been
overturned in a quest for money The
thief had evidently sought nothing but
money, for failing to find this he had
not taken anything else. His thorough
search had finally led him to the bed
room, where his presence awakened
Mr.. Tulley, who reached for the gun
that he keeps at his bedside and shout
ed to the intruder to leave or be shot.
The negro hastily left and made his
escape through a window in the parlor,
which was discovered to have been
pried open.
The police were Immediately notified.
Deputy Sheriffs n J. Sanford and Ed
ward Higgins set to work on the case
at once. They were told that the negro
had been seen at the local station early
that morning but in following up the
clue found that he had obtained a ride
on truck to New Haven. There the
trail was found again but only to be
lost when it was learned that another
charitable driver of an automobile had
given the thief lift Vergennes and
Burlington were thoroughly dragged
but no further trace of their man could
be found by the officers 1t is hoped
to hear from the police of one of the
surrounding towns before long, as there
are so few negroes in the vicinity that
every one of them is known and
stranger Of their Race is quickly noticd

WHO WILL BE NEXT TOWN REPRESENTATIVES?
CANDIDATES SLOW IN GETTING INTO LINE
Speaker C. S. Dana of New Haven and H. Dyer of Salisbury Only
Ones in Sight for Reflection.

The Register yesterday received an,
nouncement from H. R, Church of
Shoreham that he would be candi-
date at the coming September pri-
maries for nomination as town repre-
sentative for Shoreham, The item sug-
gested that with the primaries only
two months away it would be interest
ing to know how the candidates were
lining up in the various towns, and The
Register made inquiries by telephone
of practically all the present represen-
tatives. The discovery was thus made
that, so far as it was possible to learn
the only members of Addison County's
present delegation in the General AS
sembly who would seek reelection
were Speaker Charles S Dana of New
Haven, and William H. Dyer of Sails

Meet on Brandon Road

John K Dyer, well-known Middle
bury merchant was returning from
Bennington Monday night in his new
Hudson touring car, carrying a party
of four others, when at point between

ell and mother, Mrs Noah Wisell

ticed tw3 ahead Of him, approach
ing, 49, &C pa sed the first Of these
cars without incident He made no
additional allowance for passing the
second car, he says, when-crash! -
came the interlocking of the front
wheels of the Dyer car with Rogers
car. Both cars suffered demolition of
the front wheel, a twisted axle and
broken fender, while Rogers car also
had the battery broken Neither car
was insured, and the damage in all will
be close to $3.50.
Members of both parties considered
themselves fortunate in escaping from
a more serious smash, as no one in
either car suffered so much as a
scratch According to Rogers the
Dyer automobile was moving at
much faster pace than was his car and
on the morning following the accident
Rogers had photographs taken of both
cars as they stood besid the road
These he placed in the hands of States
Attorney Sturtevant, intimating to
The Register that he would seek to re-
cover damages from Mr.. Dyer.

.SHOREHAM GIRL IS
HOME FROM CHINA

Miss Stella Cook, daughter of Shell
don Cook, returned to her home in
Shoreham last Friday after an absence
of six years as a missionary in China,
Miss Cook, who is a graduate of Mid
dlebury College in the class of 1910,
went to China in 1914 to engage in edu-
cational and evangelstic work as a
member of the Vermont branch of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
of the Congregational Church. She
had previously taught in the high
school at Westport and in the academy
at Nyack N Y.
Miss Cook has been located in
Foochow, China for nearly six years.
Most of her time was given to teach
ing in a High School for Girls located
about one and half miles from the
walled city of Foochow. There were
about one hundred girls in the gram
mar and high school departments,
studying practically the same subjects
as are taught in the average American
high school, Instead of French or
Spanish the girls take English and
Mandarin for their modern Languages.
Their command of these languages is
such that subjects like History or
Mathematics are taken in one or the
other of them rather than in the Clas-
steal Chinese.
In addition to work in the High
School, Miss Cook has had general su-
pervision of eleven Day Schools in the
city and suburbs. Here is where the
long tedious study of the Chinese
character is begun, These day schools
give the first four years of school work
and more than half of the girls finish
their education with the close of the
fourth year
Then by way of vacation Miss Cook
made weekend evangelistic trips into
the country, which brought her in con-
tact with the women as well as the
children and girls.
After a short vacation at her home in
Shoreham, Miss Cook will continue
in the state of Vermont her work in
the interests of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society.

Pastors Auto s Stolen

Automobile thieves entered the barn

lin in Cornwall some time between
Friday evening and Saturday morning
and stole Ford touring car, belong
ing to Mr. Hamlin, The parties evil
IDENTIFY pushed the car out of the barn
and along the highway for some dis
tance' before starting the engine. 1t is
thought that they went toward Whit

Champlain to the New York side,
as people residing in Whiting heard a
car hurrying through that town short
ly after midnight. The car carries a
Vermont number plate, No. S-23S. So
far there has been no clue to the
thieves.

AT HOTEL SCHOOL
Mrs. May B. Taylor of Middlebury is
One of Twenty Graduates


A copy of the Washington Times
just received at The Register Office
brings news that Mrs May B. Taylor
of Middlebury is one of a class of
twenty which was graduated last
month from the Lewis Hotel Training
School in the capitol city.
Mrs. Taylor, who is the widow of
Ira M Taylor, has been in Washing
ton for some time where she has a
clerkship in the Bureau of War Risk.
Eighteen women and two men en-
ployees of this bureau were offered
courses in the Lewis Hotel Training
School, which is said to be the only
institution of its kind in the country.
1t is designed to give a scientific
course in hotel work, of every kind
from hopping bells to running the
whole business. Mrs Taylor took the
course with no immediate hotel work
in mind, but thinking that the study
might prove useful to her at some flu
ture time. She still retains her gov
ernment position and, together with
her daughter Norma, is now living at
1905 N street, N. w., Washington,
D. C.
Mrs. Taylor was a student at Mid
dlebury College, 1892 to 1895. She has
been prominently affiliated with the
Middlebury Womans Club and in
1916 was president of the Middlebury
College Alumnae Association.

ANNUAL FIELD DAY
PLANNED AUG. nth

The u S. Morgan Horse Farm which
was last year the scene of one of the
most successful field day gatherings of
Addison County farmers, will again
this year be the place of holding the
annual Farm Bureau and Grange Field
Day. This announcement was made
in the Farm Bureau News published
yesterday, and the date for the big out
door gathering was set as August 11th.
H. H. Reese, who recently succeeded
w, f, Hammond as manager at the
Government Farm, has offered the use
of the spacious grounds and expressed
desire to cooperate heartily in maxim
the meeting the same or even a greater
success than it was last year, when
over 1000 persons attended.
The State Grange Master, Orlando
L. Martin and State County Leader
Bradlee are assisting in making ar
rangements for a good speaking pro-
gram, and it is expected they will be
able to secure a representative of the
National Farm Bureau Federation and
the National Grange Organization.
Last year the county was fortunate
enough to have the National Grange
Master, Oliver c. Wilson of Peoria,
ILL.,, present for an address.
The tractor demonstration which
was a special feature last year, will
probably be repeated this year with
even more interest, there having been
undoubtedly some new features devel-
oped in these machines which farmers
will desire to see in action.
During the forenoon there will be an
exhibition of the Morgan horses raised
by the Government Farm. Sheep will
also be exhibited and it is expected
that a representative of the Depart
mentSof Agriculture will be present to
explain the experiments which are
being carried on at this farm.
Miss Baldwin, State Y. W. C. A. Re-
creation Worker, will be in charge of
games and sports for the young peo-
pie
All women will be interested in the
Exhibit and demonstration of labor
saving equipment which will probably
occur in the forenoon at the same time
as the tractor demonstrations
Everyone is expected to bring a pic
mic lunch which may be supplemented
by ice CT lr7 and cold drinks from the

New Fire Truck in Commission

The new fire truck voted in the last
village meeting was put in commission
yesterday. 1t is a Ford chassis with a
large rack body for carrying 1900 feet
of hose with the ladders, axes, nozzles,
poles and other paraphernalia of the
department. The color of the chassis
is black while the body is painted red.
The letters M. F. D. are printed in
gold on the engine hood. After a trial
spin yesterday, handled by Arthur
Kenworthy and Arthur Bessette, the
truck was driven into its permanent
quarters on Main street, the hose

The picture shows the 6O-feet decliv-
ity behind the Beckwith Block on
Main street, Middlebury, down which
Mrs. Felix Liberty took backward
tumble in her fve-passenger Overland
car last week. Mrs. Liberty was re-
ported yesterday as suffering only
slight effects from the accident, She
had a miraculous escape, as the picture
would indicate, and after spending a
few days in bed recovering from minor
sprains and bruises, she is now able to
sit up and will soon be on her feet
again.
The wrecked automobile was pulled
out of the river by the use of trac-
tor, and is now in the Middlebury
Garage where it is thought the damage
to the car amuonts to several hundred
dollars.
