 Concealed Emotions.
 For more than two weeks the youthful Wade camoufiaged his true emotions by his unconcerned attitude to life in general and his critical plight in particular before the initial signs of 0 change became apparent.
 His bravado and swagger disap- peared to be gradually replaced by quiet, respectful mien that later assumed the appearance of patient resignation.
 the interninable minutes of the dis nal night. when his mind and thoughts could not detract from the grim vision of death, were having their effect.
 He grew more pensive, and seldom devoted more time to reading and even started a course of study to re- heve his tormented mind.
 Although he seldom mentioned his case, he spoke on a few occasions on the filing of his appeal by his attor- neys. His mind seems to center upon this fact, and it is with ill-concealed lmpatience that he anxiously awaits
  desperate chance for life
 Still Loves Ethel.
 A report making the rounds of the prison is attributed to Wade in the early days of his confinement, and tells of his irresistible attraction to Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Mott, wife of the man for whose death Wade is to pay the full penalty
 Ethel Wade informed a guard, ls the finest woman I ever knew. 1t was her neatness, her spotless home and her wonderful housekeeping that first made me love her.
 lam positive that I loved her more than ever loved anyone else. l could walk into her home at any nour of the day or night and never could find a piece of furniture disar- ranged, or an article of clothing out or place, or speck of dust any where's.
 She was a wonderful housekeeper and attracted me first by the way she Kept her home neat and clean.''

WIDOW SKEFFINCTON
PLAYING BIC ROLE
In Negotiations Looking to Settle
ment of the Irish
Question.

London, June 2s.Mrs. F. Sheehy
Skeffington, widow of an Irish lead
er, who was executed following the
Easter Monday riots in 1916, has
played a prominent part in bringing
about recent developments relative to
peace in Ireland. it is said in state
ments printed in the Graphic and
Sketch Mrs. Skeffington is now in
London, and the two newspapers say
she is unofficial ambassador for Eamonn
De Valera and has acted as an inter
mediary between him and Prime Min
lister Lloyd George.
1t has been impossible hitherto to
obtain from Dublin definite news as TO
the prospects of the acceptance of the
prime minister's invitation to the irish
leaders to meet under government aus
pices. This has been due to the reti-
cence of Mr.. De Valera and other Sim
Fein leaders who are at liberty. Mr.. DE
Valera's consultations with his col
leagues are understood to have pro-
gressed on Monday, and it is stated
that if he desires access to imprisoned
Sim Feiners for further discussions,
permissions will be given.

EPwORTH LEAGUE INSTITUTE.
Barre Has the Biggest Enrolment at
the Start.

Barre's delegation of 80 young peo-
pie to the Epworth League institute at
Montpelier seminary met cordial re-
ception last evening. This is the largest
delegation registered as yet from any
one place, distinction which Barre
has also held there in previous years.
The total registration last night had
reached IS but additional arrivals are
looked for to-day.
Rev. Harold M. Hayward of Ludlow
and Amos Belts of Boston were in
change Of getting acquainted social"
in the early part of the evening IN
which the young people were enthusi-
astic in making new acquaintance and
the spirit of good fellowship, tradi-
tional to Montpelier seminary, was
manifest. The reception" which fol-
lowed was not formal affair but was
rather in the nature of rally, the sew
eral members of the faculty being in
troduced to the students and receiving
from them warm welcome.
A good deal of concern is expressed
this morning in connection with the
illness of Rev B. G. Lipsky of Barre,
who was scheduled for the Bible study
classes each morning. Mr.. Lipsky, who
is the efficient bursar of the institute,
made a special effort yesterday and
was present for the registration of the
students and the reception, leaving,
however immediately after Dean Kelley
had introduced him. This morning a
telegram message told of a restless
night and physicians orders that Mr..
Lipsky remain in bed. 1t is hoped that
he will be able to take the work as
signed him later in the week. In the
meantime, the Bible study period is in
charge of Secretary Robbins of the
Vermont Sunday School association,
who also is the instructor in Sunday
school methods.
Nearly all the students were pres
ent at the morning watch at $50 this
morning at which Rev. George H. Red
ding spoke and after a ''peppy" set
ting-up drill led by Mr.. Belts, the
young people attacked the breakfast
table program with enthusiasm.
The weeks institute has thus made
a splendid start and successful week
is assured.

for Act Unknown.

he contemplated such action yet there
j. every evidence that his act OF self
destruction was not committed on the
spur of the moment.
Labshere waited until his employer
had left the house and had gone TO the
milk aouse in the rear of the property.
Then he went TO his room, got out the
shotgun, made sure that it was in
proper working condition. placed its
cold steel muzzle against his for2head
and pressed the trigger. Death was in
stantaneous.
Mr.. Sherman heard the roar of the
weapon and rushed TO the house TO
learn what had happened. He found
Labshere lying dead ap the floor in a
pool of blood There WAS no note Of
other evidence to throw light on the
reason for his self destruction.
The authorities were notified by Mr..
Sherman and the ex-soldier's body was
turned over TO an undertaken.
Labshere, whose home was in Corn
wall, had been employed in this vicin.
ity since 1920. During the World war
