Dear Judge:
Under date of December Bird,

approved and are to be paid fer
1920, under the new" pension
law passed ilrs19l9..for the payment
Of which, for 1920, AN appropriation
Of 1885, 100000 was made by the
General Assembly in41920.
y. 1t was stated.;| "tnder these UNI
usual conditions, wosAre forced to
say to this class Of PENSIONERS that
the Governor and Treasurer have
no assurance Of being able to pay.
them before March LIST next.
Ny requisition to pay the new
class for 1920 has been filed with
the Governor since October 23rd,
1920, but, Cor want of money in

The payment, .4he cannot draw his
warrant to meet the requisiticn.
I am ready to file requisstion for
the payment of those on the odd Z
rolls who received their money Tor
1920, but there is not yet sufficient
money in the Treasury to make the
uayment. There is an appropna-
ton of 81, $50, 900. co. made in 1912
TO nay this class for 1921, but the
increases of $500, for all who
were paid as much as $50 w IN
1920, and $500, for all who were
paid less than $4,000 in 1920,
exceeds the appropriation by several
thousand dollars. The law provides
that Ibis class must be paid y
MAY, Est, in each year, but the
appropriation for them for 1921 is
not sufficient, even # funds were
available to make the payment.
~ No appropriation was MADE by
/ the General Assembly in 1920 to
pay any of the new" pensioners
for 1921.
Every pcnsioner entitled to
pension for 1920 will be paid some
time, but just when that will be we
cannot know, and this applies also
to those who are entitled to pen
sion!for 1921.
II repeat that it is altogether un'
necessary to waste time, stationery
and postage in making and answer
ing inquiries as to when the payment
will be made, for There will be ne
delay when the money Is in tn
treasury. The interests Of the pen
sioners are in the hands of thei
friends, and no regrets the union

knowing it was the custom for men
to wear bright-colored feather in

ToIstoy Tribute to Dickens.

Maxim Gorky published some jot-
tings from his notebook of talks with
Leo Tolstoy toward the end of the old
mans life, and among them there is
curious appreciation of Charles Dick
ems, according to the continental edi-
ton of the London Mail. Tolstoy said
Of him: "Dickens has expressed re-
markable thought. He says life was
given to us to be valiantly defended to
the last breath. He was on
the whole a sentimental and loqua-
cious writer of mediocre intelligence.
But he knew better than anyone how
TO put a novel together. He certainly
did IT better than Balzac. Both writer's
have left a number of badly written
books, and yet Balzac had genius
The talks cover a wide range OF sub
jects.

CHAPTER TX.
The Face in the Window.


BY ten o'clock a heavy rain and
wind had settled over the Storm
Country with such force that the
waves were rolling southwark like
ivory-crested mountains. Once in a
while a heavy thud of thunder rever-
berated over the lake from the north,
losing Its roar back of the Cornell
buildings on the university campus.
Devon's canal boat was following
the little tug which was hugging the
western shore northward. Tonnibel,
in the little room back Of the cabin,
was searching through the darkness
from the small window. But the only
thing she could see was the dark bank
along which they crept and which
once In while was lit up by vivid
streak of lightning
Suddenly the engine stopped, and as
If she imagined Gussie could help her
she gathered her into her arms.
In vivid streak of lightning she
saw they were anchored close to
Crowbar point, which protected them
somewhat from the wind. She
crouched low when the little door
opened and Uriah called her name.
"Come out here, Tonnibel," he COM
manded roughly, and Tony, with Gus

Cure for Flat Feet.

Are you tlat-footed? If you don't
know, the next time you take a bath,
observe the impressions that your wet
feet make. If your feet are normal,
there will be narrow line from heel
to toe on the outside; If they are fiat,
the entire bottom of the foot will
show.
How can you cure fiat-footedness?
Buy handful of marbles, place them
in two rows, and start picking them
up with your toes. To do this you
must curl up your toes; as a result
the muscles of the feet will be exer-
cised and thereby strengthened.-Pop

probably the first white men to see
those lofty landmarks which so appro-
priately give this state its name. This
was in July, 1909, when Champlain
made his memorable voyage up the
lake now called after him.
! The first permanent settlement was
|, fflaCie in 1To4 at Brattleboro, where the
Massachusetts colony established a
fort as buffer against invasion from
the north. The territory used was
part of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were sold
at public auction in Hartford for
about farthing an acre, the proceeds
being donated to Yale college. Shortly
after this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake Cham
plain and westward from New Hamp-
shire. This led to disputes between
these two colonies as to their bound
aries. Under the leadership of Ethan
Allen New YOrk's claims were resisted
by local military force, which
proudly called themselves 1.-THE Green
Mountain Boys" 1t was these same
men who played such brilliant part
during the Revolution.
In 1777 a formal Constitution for
the state was adopted and Vermonters
are proud of the fact that theirs was
the first of the states to prohibit
slavery by constitutional provision.
For a number of years Vermont re-
NAMED as a separate republic, but in
1901 it was admitted to the Union as
the first addition to the original thir-
teen states.
In size Vermont has 1854 square
miles, and its congressional delegation
four. 1t thus casts four votes
for the president.

Synopsis.-LOnely and friendless,
TOnnibel Devon. living on a canal
boat with a brutal father and
worn-out, discouraged mother, wan
ders into a Salyati ton army nail at
Ithaca, n. Y. There she meets a
young Salvation army captain,
Philip MacCauley. Uriah Devon,
Tony's father. announces he has
arranged for Tony to marry Regi-
maid Brown, a worthless compan-
ion. Mrs. Devon objects, and Uriah
beats her. Their quarrel reveals
that there is a secret between them
in which Tony is the central figure.
Tony refuses to marry Reginald
and escapes u beating by jumping
into the lake. She finds a baby's
picture with offer of reward for its
delivery to a Doctor Pendlehaven,
With the Pendlehavens, a family
of wealth, live Mrs. Curtis, a cousin,
her daughter and son, Katherine

him but little. At the girls fearful
plea Devon stepped back and glared
| at her.
"Will you do what bid you, miss?'
he demanded hoarsely. I'D as soon
kill you as take a wink"
/ Tonnibel made no answer save to
weep more wildly, and, because she
did not make ready reply, Urlah
struck her again. Then suddenly
Reginald stood up.
Don't hit 'er any more, Dev," he
drGwed. "Shut 'er up a while and
keep er without grub, and she'll come
to time. Give 'er a night to think it
over. God, but you've walloped her
black and blue as it's"
In answer to this Devon picked
Tony up and threw her into the back
cabin. Then he kicked Gussie over
the threshold, slammed the door and
locked it.
Philip MacCauley had padded away
from the Dirty Mary with dull,
sick fear for the girl he had had to
leave behind. To fight single-handed a
drunken man with a gun was fool
hardy and would do little Tony no
good
When he reached the corner of the
lake he ran his craft ashore and sat
for a long time thinking. Suddenly
he saw through the dusk that the ca
nal boat had left its mornings and was
moving slowly northward in the teeth
of the rising wind. With an ejacula-
ton he showed off and was out in the
boiling surf. Wherever that boat went
he decided to go, too.
AS he padded carefully along, he
could see the shadows of two men in
the glimmer Of the little light in the
small pilot house. Then Reggie was
there with Devon, but where was
Tony?
One small window in the canal boat
gave forth dim light. He felt within
him that she was there where that |
light was, alone and suffering What |
had she thought of his allowing him
self to be forced away from her when
she needed him most? His teeth came
together sharply. He was no coward,
his Philip MacCauley, this captain of
he Salvation army.
Suddenly he caught sight of a pass
ng shadow in the cabin, and his heart
capt up within him. Twas the shad-
