CHAPTER XIV.

Mr. Siuney uieu DetWeen three anu
four o'clock Christmas morning. He
passed so easily that Jed, sleeping
In the lounge-chair beside him, did
not know that death had gone through
the chamber until an hour after the
event. Jed awakened me. In the case
Of such an expected happening as this,
the perceptions start slowly. The
fact that the b~enignity which so Inn
p%erceptibly had dominated the house
had ceased to exist tCoK hours to as
sert itself.
Jed was composed when he aroused
me. Later, when the sun came up to
make radiant all the white witchery
the storm left, his sense Of loss began
to assert Itself, and acute as was the
grief In the house. none was deeper
seated or more profound than that Of
the rascally old servant.
Mrs. Sidney accepted the event with
a serenity which / discovered after
ward was born of a long-fixed resolu-
ton. For years her life had been a
denial of her moral instlncts-happy,
I'm spite of that. because Of her great
devotion to the wonderful man she
loved. The chapters which he domi-
| mated In her book were ended. With
| tenderness she laid them aside.
Isobel did not permit herself IN
| diligence In any weakness. What had
happened was written in the contract
of life. In later full knowledge Of
Isobel, I v ceased to admire the
wonderful acceptivity with which she
met her trials. Nothing came to her
with catastrophe shock. She had
reality within her vision, and she per-
ceived.
For myself I saw the end Of a mode
of life which, ven when unhappy
had been ecstatically so. My reason
for being In Hartley house lay dead

The indictment in eight counts
against Alex Ritter and Joe Meyer,
charges that the former sheriff and
undersheriff paid Peter Fisher Jr.,
from time to time sums of money
to the end that he refrain from
prosecuting, arresting or molesting
persons engaged in unlawful sale of
intoxicating liquor, operation of
gambling houses, and in the COM
mission of other crimes and felon-
les. The counts, with the alleged
bribery sums are given as follows:
May %, 1919, $3.50; July 8, 1919,
500; September 8, 1919, $500; No
vember ~, 1919, SIPS; January Fl,
1920, $125; April s.. 1920, $3.50; Aug
ust 81, 1920, SITE; October 7, 1920.
500. The Indictment against Rit-
ter and Herbert Millager, charging
bribery on one count, is based on
the alleged bribing Of Peter Fisher,
Jr., as district attorney, on May 10,
1920, of $3.50 on the understanding
that Milliger would be given pro-
lection in the maintenance of
gambling house.

Take King to be
His Own Chauffeur
(By Associated Pressl

Paris.-Three detectives in a fast
touring car were sent to the Versailles
gate by Project of Police Leuillier to
meet King Ferdinand of Rumania when
he drove in from Tours the other day.
1t was quite dark when the regal auto
mobile reached the walls of Paris but
the detectives spotted it and one of
item went up to the chauffeur and
asked: as this the kings carr" cit
is" was the reply. "Then, sonny" said
the detective, tapping the driver fam
iliarly on the shoulder, keep your eye
on this red machine ahead and don't
lose sight of it. We will take you
straight to the kings hotel. You are
a lucky dog to be driving a king
Then walking back couple of steps
to the window of the limousine and
coming rigidly to attention, the detec-
tive saluted the occupant, who returned
the salute. "You are indeed a lucky
man to be driving king" said the
driver of the kings car over his shout
der to the man in the limousine "It
enables you to sit on the cushion and
let the king do his own driving" The
detective saw the story in the news
papers the next day and went to the
kings hotel to apologize. He returned
1000 francs richer.

Copper Trooper Game
Has Been Called Off
Weather Conditions Caused Postpon-
ment of Game; May Have Football
Clash.

The third contest between the Cons
and Troopers was called off today. The
reason for this action is due to the
weather conditions. Anyhow, it is
getting late in the season and foot
ball game between this pair would be
more appropriate. The Nash team
closed its season two weeks ago while
the Simmons outfit was forced to call
off their games with Oshkosh this year
because of the fire that destroyed the
grandstand and bandstand Sunday
night.
The Cavalry men and Cops have been
keen rivals in the sport world for the
last year. Why not have a football
game or bowling contest between this
pair. The Troopers have a fast grid
team while the Cops have real bowl
ing league. Now let the Cops form
football team and the Troopers get
bowling league.
Beyond a doubt Kenosha fans would
turn out in mob to see this pair on
the grid. Bowling would also make a
hit with the fans.

Cost Money to Get
Canadian Goats
(Rv Associated Presal

Vancouver, B. Getting fellows
goat in British Columbia might cost
the getter from $45 to $500. That is
the range of prices for Toggenberg,
Saanen and Nubian animals. These
are milk goats and British Columbia
is the heaviest breeder of milk goats
of any province in Canada. Goats in
the province number 5000 according
to figures issued by the provincial de-
partment of agriculture. The original
foundation stock numbering 200 head
was imported from the United States
in 1917. Efforts of breeders have been
concentrated upon the Toggenberg,
Same nand Nubian breeds. These are
noted for milk production. Official rec
ords have frequently run as high as
1000 pounds to an animal and one goat
has record of 2,941 pounds, No la
Dor is necessary in raising goats. A
snug, comfortable house, free from
drafts and rain-proof is all that is re-
CURED for shelter. The animals pick
up their own living, feeding on grass
and all kinds of leaves, weeds and
branches of young trees.

IRISH CONFEREES.
SETTLE ON WORN
"YOu Can't Expect Any News 70
Weeks" is the Official Statement
Given After First Session
lBy Aasociated Press Leased wire.l

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
London.-A communique issued after
adjournment said the first conference
gave the names of those present ans
announced that the conference ad.
jOurned until 4 o'clock this afternoon
The Irish delegates were cheered az
they drove away in motor cars. They
refused to answer questions put bS
newspaper correspondents. One of Mr.
Lloyd Georges secretaries who receiv-
ed the newspaper men just after the
conference opened, smiling said: ''You
cannot expect any news for weeks yet"
When the conference opened, the
Irish delegates after an exchange of
introductions, took seats at the cabinet
table with their backs to windows over
looking the Horse Guards parade, with
the British representatives opposite
them. Strictly speaking, nobody pre-
sided in the ordinary sense of the
word, but MIR. Lloyd-George was the
spokesman at the outset for the Brit
ish and Arthur Griffith, Sim Fein for
eign minister for the Irish. Lloyd
Georges opening remarks were brief,
as was the reply of Griffith, and the
conference settled down to the work in
hand. Irish sympathizers outside sang
hymns during the opening of the con-
ference. The text of the coInmunique
given out after the first session was:
"The first session of, the conferences
on Ireland was held at Number 10
Downing street at II o'clock. Those
present were the British representa-
tives, Premier Lloyd-George, Lord Biz
kenhead, Winston Spencer Churchill,
Sir Laming neutrality-suspicious., Sir
Hamar Greenwood and Sir Gordon
Hewart; and the Irish representatives,
Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Robert
C. Barton, canon ]. Duggan and
George Gavan Duffy. There also were
present two British secretaries and
two Irish secretaries. The conference
adjourned until four o'clock"

Row is Up Again
Over City Title
North Side Billiards Claim the Rosing
GUESTS Are Not City Amateur
Champs.

A dispute over the city amateur
champs of the city arose today when
Joe Molinaro, manager of the Kenosha
North Side Billiards baseball team, an
nounced that the Rosing Billiards, the
claimants of the city honors, have not
played his team this season and for
that reason can not claim the city
laurels. Molinaro said that the Rosing
manager promised to play the North
Side GUESTS as soon as they played
the Merchants and Savings Banks a
three-game series.
Molinaro announced today that his
team is willing and wants to play the
Rosings three-game series, or at least
one game, to determine the champs.
He further announced that he will use
the same team that represented the
Kenosha North Side Billiards all sea-
son.
Rosing Billiards officials today stated
that they were the city amateur cham
pions. Before the series commenced,
an agreement was made between the
Rosings, Merchants and North Side
Billiards. The North Side Billiards
agreed to play the bankers and the
winner of that contest was to fight the
Rosings for the amateur honors. This
game was played and the Merchants
won. The latter played the Rosings a
three-game series and were beaten by
the Rosings. Now who are the champs :?
Figure it out.

lSpanish-American War, was used on
patrol and convoy duty. The Maine
