I am coming to you for some adj
vice. [ am girl sixteen years of
age. Some times I go with a girl
that used to be talked about. Long
time ago people said she wasn't any
thing thought of. My parents don't
like for me to go with her. They
said my name would be down too
But she has Joined the church now
and seems to be nice around me. Do
you think it will be any harm to go
with her some times as a friend?
For l don't hear any one talk about
her now. Whenever I'm with her
most everybody we meet speaks to
her. She has lots of friends. I also
have a boy friend I think lots of.
But never did go with him often.
I've been knowing him a long time.
He has been with me several times
and always has treated me as nice
and kind as boy could, but the last
time he was with me my father told
him not to come to see me again.. l
like this boy as friend because The
has always treated me nicely and
now when he sees me anywhere he
don't speak as he used to, seems he
don't care anything for me now. He
must be afraid of my father. Seems
as if my father don't want me to go
with anybody, for that's the way he
treats them all. 1 don't like to go
with a boy everywhere, I'd rather
go with girls some times. Please
answer real soon, and your advice
will be greatly appreciated.
BLOSSOM.
If you are living right your
self don't worry what others
may think. If this girl has
been talked about, and is trying
to do right now it is up to you,
as it is to every good man and
woman, girls and boys, to give
her a helping hand. Sympathy,
understanding and purity of
soul will do more for a fallen
woman than cold-blooded aloof-
ness. Your companiorship may
be the means of saving this
girl. Of course. you can't af-
ford to go with anyone of a dis
reputable character, or who is .
wantonly fast" but under the
conditions you may, by your
goodness and sweetness of char
acter, help this girl along the
right pathf You were not to
blame in regard to your fathers
actions toward your boy friend,
and if you think he is really a
nice boy and your fathers &C
tions unjust, you may write this
boy a note of explanation, tell
him you are grieved over the
affair. He will feel more kindly
toward you.

other in the big ranch ROOM
and finally Mark spoke.
- Look at me, will you, Jean"'
She raised her eyes to his slowly
and there was no hint of fear in
them.
81 want you to know that I don't
blame you for this. I'm sorry it hap
pened, that's all. God knows, in a
way I don't blame the boy, either;
he's human, and any one would
know that you are not happy"
81 never told him So" Jeans tone
was proud.
mo, I don't think you would, but
the fact remains that the truth is
at me. Don't think that l haven't
noticed it. and perhaps [ have been
altogether to blame. At any rate
I want you to know this much, that
in the beginning, if [ had thought
that things would have turned out
as they have, I wouldn't have mar
ried YOU"
was something in that look which he
could not ignore.
Il know what you are thinking,
you're remenA @ring that night. l
know I was mad, but 1 loved you, and
for the time nothing else mattered
1 told you once that out here things
are freer, love between man and
woman is freer, L thought perhaps
if you knew you belonged to me,
if we didn't try to keep up an art1-
ficial state of affairs between US,
that the woman in you might come
to the surface. I'm not all bad, you
know; I'm not a wifebeater. I'm
rough and uncivilized, and perhaps
I don't know much about the little
h, hot I1h TO
an, but [ loved you, jean, and 1 love
you now, 1 want you to know that"
''Why?" she asked the question
simply, because there seemed to be
something back of what he was say
ing, something she ought to know,
something that might mean a great
deal.
Because I've come to the end of
my rope. I've failed, and I'm not
brute enough to keep you here any
longer against your will. God knows
your father would not want that, and
no man wants a woman that way,
no matter how much he cares"
A wild gladness had crept into
Jeans heart. She felt like a pris-
oner kept for a long time in dark
cell who is suddenly released and
Mark mean, what could he mean but
one thing-freedom!
"You mean you will let me go?"
There was such a glad thrill in her
voice that Marks heart seemed to
stand still in his breast. How she
hated him, how much more even
than he had imagined
"Yes," he said evenly, no slight
est hint of emotion of any kind in
his voice, I'm going to let you 60"
She struggled for a minute to
speak, but she could not. Finally
she forced out a thank you, and turn
ed away.
But I don't want to talk any more
about it tonight. You've been through
a great deal, and you're worn out:
You must have some sleep--and
please don't worry, everything will
come out all right; you have nothing
to fear from me-"
Suddenly Jean knew how tired she
was. Every bone in her ached, she
wanted nothing so much as rest at
that moment, and afterward, there
would be the future, a glad, glorious
future, unshared by Mark. 1t hard
ly seemed possible, but Mark had said
so, and somehow in spite of herself
Jean trusted him, she knew that he
meant what he said.

POPULAR SPORT IN PANAMA
Duel to the Death Between Bull and
Jaauar Is Considered Height
Of Entertainment.

The Panamaniac who is real sport
delights in nothing so much as a fight
between a jaguar and bull. One must
visit the isthmus to see this particular
kind Of sport.
An enormous cage, strongly built Of
scantllngs and iron bars, is placed in
the center of the ring ordinarily used
for bull fights. A bull Is placed in
side of it and presently one of the
huge South American cats is wheeled
up in smaller cage and introduced
into the barred inclosure. The latter
Is about ten feet high, with twice that
length and breadth.
In the fight which then ensues the
bull is victorious usually. Not more
than once in ten such contests does
the jaguar prove the victor. This
would not be the case if the animals
were not restricted to so narrow u
space; but the big cat, being obliged
to rely mainly upon its activity, does
not have a fair chance.
Nevertheless, the duel greatly de-
lights the spectators. The fair Pana-
manicures shrek with excitement, and
the little PanamaulkinS rend the air
with yells.

The ra lroads, he asserted, were
the chosen vehicle for this labor

were made deliberately, while much
OF the repair work was let to outside
companies, who charged the roads
about twice what the same repairs
would have cost in their own shops,
One purpose, he said, was to get tn s

William Charles Meagher Prominent
Merchan: o. North Bennington

William c Meagher died very sud.
denly early Tuesday morning at his
home on Houghton street. He was
taken crit cally i'll two weeks ago
with acute indigestion, but was seem
ingly recovering, although he did not
rega'n his strength and his heart
was so weakened by the first attack
that is was not strong enough to en-
dure the trouble when it returned.
Mr. Meagher was the son of the
late William Meagher and Bridget
Heneberry and was born in North
Bennington fifty-six years ago, where
he has always resided He was edu-
Gated in the local graded schools
and has ever since been closely iden-
titled with the mercantile business of
the village, 1t was especially in that
capacity that he made friends both
near and far, by reason of his kind
ly, courteous manner, prompt service
and square dealing He was hard
working man, who attended strictly
to his business, one of those citizens
whom the community can i'll afford to
lose.
Seventeen years ago Mr. Meagher
was married to Miss Margaret Grit
fin, who survives him, with one
daughter Mary, Other immediate
survivors are three brothers, all resi-
dents of North Bennington-Pa Patsy,
Richard and James.
The sympathy of many friends will
be given the bereaved family, so sud
denly deprived of one of the best and
kindest of husbands, fathers, and
brothers.
The funeral services will be held
Thursday morn ng at o'clock from
st. John the Baptist church, and the
interment will be IN st John the
Baptist cemetery.

WON'T REMOVE GOLD
RESERVE FROM BANKS
German Official Declares Plan of Rep.
aration Commission Is Not
Feasible.

Berlin, April 20.-While the Ger
man cabinet has not yet indicated the
nature of the reply to the reparation
commission demanding the German
gold reserve to be transferred to
some point in the occupied zone,
President Hayenste n of the Re!chs-
bank financial writers summarily
reject the project, They take the
ground that the gold not only the
property of the private bank, but
that its removal from Berlin under
the conditions named would result in
a collapse of German currency at
home and abroad.
President Hayenstein declares a
serious considerat on of the propos.-
tion by the cabinet would be merely

about so years since paSteur perceived

from the world Blot Dumas and
other veterans of science were incredu-

them all proceeded TO cure first the
sickness" Of beer and wine, then the
"silkworm disease" then formidable
poultry pestilence, then one Of the
deadliest plaques of cattle.
Having thus worked his way up in
the scale of life, he addressed hm'
self by the same methods TO the saliva

science of bacterial therapeutics If
thus Pasteur found In an atom of y ,ast
the cure for rabies, typhoid, cholera,
