 however, this will not be the only attraction. A discussion of a pos sible community Christmas tree will be one order of business. and Town Manager R. H. Hunter has promise" to be present and make short talk. outlining what he hopes to do for Stratford, and the sort of help and support he l. eds the most to make the early days of the counci1-man- first chance many in the district have had of meeting, or even seeing the man whose personality means so much to the future good of Stratford.

 .'I have never seen MT.

 In studying the Stratford year book, the American Lacquer company again comes to the front as being the lead ing tax payer, still in arrears on the 1911 list for S17S.2O.

BY GRACE MILLER WHITE


II like you heaps" she breathed
with suppressed emotion. She wanted
to throw her arms about him right
then, to tell him how she had longed
to be with him, all about her promise
that she would not leave the house
again without some one with her. She
was considering this when
II wanted to ask you--if you've seen
that man again?" said Philip. "The
one I"
"You slung in the lake" interrupted
Tonnibel, dimple peeping out at the
corner of her mouth. "No, never. |

you"
II saw him in town today" he told
her finally and then almost cursed
himself for his brutality. She had
gone so white and was looking about
her helplessly.
Hell find me, mebbe," she hesitated,
haunted expression coming into her
eyes. "Mebbe he WILL"
mo, he wont; not If you let me
help you" exclaimed Philip. snow,

Pauls rooms for anything, no matter
what. Call servant If you want any
thing downstairs. And don't leave the
house unless you go with me. l want
your promise that you will not come
downstairs. VIII you give it to me?'
Tony didn't understand why she
should promise this, and a whimsical
thought came into her mind that she
was always making promises to some
one but she couldn't refuse him, and
Philip went away little happier and
feeling much more secure.

think Of it, he takes her out when he

herself.
Don't, Kathie," she said in a whis-
per. ~ really had no idea you cared
for him so much. 1 will help you, poor
dear. John shall listen to me this
night; he certainly shall"
Meanwhile Tonnibel looked up with
inquiring eyes as DR.. Pendlehaven
walked in. He had closed Philip on
the outside Of the door.
The girl gave him slight smile.
The doctor came forward and took
hold of her hand.
Paul" he asked, looking at his
brother, "could you spare our little girl
for an hour? 1 want her to go out"
Tonnibel, remembering her promise
to Philip, rose to her feet. II don't
want to-" she trembled. I'D rather
stay here. I'd really rather stay here"
Pendlehaven went to the door and
opened it, and Philip walked in.
Here's a young man, Miss Tony
Devon" he said, laughing at the sight
of the girls puzzled face, "who tells
me he wants you to drive with him.
Now, what do you say?"
"Say yes, darling Tony" Philip ejac-
ulated with sparkling eyes.
"Oh, that's how the iand lies, Is it?"
said DR.. John under his breath. Then
aloud, II didn't know this thing had
gotten to the darling point, Philip"
Tonnlbels face grew poppy red, and
she stood with her eyes cast down and
her fingers interlocked nervously. Oh!
how she wanted to go; now her boy
had come for her.
"You will go, Tony?" begged Philip.

"If-if-" the girl stammered.
John Pendlehaven laughed.
"She can go, can't she, Paul?" no
asked. "Phil will take good care Of

sighed.
"Of course, she can go! She ought
to!" he said. "She stays in too close
I've told her that every day. Go along,
little maid, but come back to your old
uncle in q little while"
Philip seized her hand to lead her
away, but Tony turned to the bed.
Then she stopped and kissed Paul Pen

II love you" she whispered, "and
mebbe it'll only be half an hour before
I'm back to YOU"
For many minutes after the car
started Philip paid strict attention to
his driving, and Tonnibel allowed her.

NARROWED FOR THREE YEARS
Sailors Long Period on Loneliness on
Small Island Located in the
South Seas.

Narrowing occasionally brings about
a modern Crusoe; just as it did with
Alexander Selkirk, who was put ashore
at Juan Fernandez, and whose adven-
lures gave Defoe the foundation for
Robinson Crusoe." The trading
schooner, Queen Charlotte, passing q
small island Of the Marquesas in the
South seas, landed her boat to investi-
gate the smoke of a fire, as it was I'M
derstood the island was uninhabited.
Here was found a United States sea-
man, who had been put ashore with
three shipmates by their captain, on
account Of their mutlnous conduct.
The three others had died, but the
man from Connecticut had contrived to
i've on the fish he caught, and the
breadfruit and coconuts and other prod
ucts which he could gather. When
rescued after three years loneliness,
his utensils consisted Of great shells,
and two cups which he possessed,
made from the skulls of his COM

CHAPTER x-Continued.

That afternoon he met Captain Mac
Cauley on State street. The sight of
Reggie's slim staggering figure
brought Philip to a quick decision. He
stopped directly in front of Brown,
and, as 1t was the first time they'd met
since the memorable moment when
Reggie had been flung In the lake, they
looked embarrassedly into each others
eyes.
$50 you decided to come homer"
asked Philip, his voice sharply toned.
Reggie gathered together his cour-
age and curled his lips. Why should
he be afraid of Salvation army cap
tain even if he were rich?
1T looks like 1t, doesn't it?" he
sneered. "And it's none Of your bust
ness, anyway"
SITS my business about how you
treat Tony Devon" Philip began, but
Reggie's fresh outburst cut off his
words
"Nobody'll ever treat her any way
after this" he almost groaned. "She's
dead, drowned in the lake."
A Mortified expression passed over
Philips face. Then he realized that
Reginald didn't know of Tony Devon's
presence in the Pendlehaven home.
"She's better off then than she was
the last time you saw her." he said
and whirled away.
Twenty minutes later Philip was
talking to John Pendlehaven.
"YOu promised last night could see
her today" he pleaded. I'll promise
only to stay few minutes. May / go
up"
"No; I'll call Tony down." was the
reply. II don't want Paul disturbed
today"
When the boy and girl stood facing
each other, embarrassment kept them
silent for some moments. Philip had
decided to find out whether Tony knew
of Reginald Browns connection with
the Pendlehavens, although he was
positive I'm his own mind she did not.
"It's nice day." he blurted out,
and .Tonnibel's low "yes" was her

FELT LIKE AN IRON

TWO THINGS NOT LOOKED FOR
Even Stolid EngIishman Saw the Hu-
NOR in One of Josh Billings
Famous Jokes.

Andrew Carnegie told a good story
at the expense of Matthew Arnold in
his Autobiography" 1t seems that
the English critic was not successful
In his lectures in the United States,
but he was anxious to learn, and he
asked how Josh Billings held his au-
dience. The American humorist re-
piled: 'Well, you mustn't keep them
laughing too long, or they will think
you are laughing at them. After CIV
ing the audience amusement you must
become earnest and play the serious
role. For instance, There are two
things In this life for which no man
Is ever prepared. Who will tell me
what these areT Finally some one
cries out, Death We'll, who gives
me the otherp Many respond
wealth, happiness, strength, marriage,
taxes. At last Josh begins solemnly:
None Of you has given the second.
There are two things on earth for
which no man is ever prepared, and
them's twins and the house shakes"
Mr.. Arnold did also.

No Tides in the Great Lakes.

There are no recognized tides in the
Great Lakes similar to what occur in
the oceans, for the reason that those
bodies of water are too small and
irregular. Occasionally, however, tidal
waves occur in one or more Of
the lakes, due to atmospheric condi-
tons, such as great differences in at
mospheric pressure and the prevalence
Of gales.
