down by the bridge. Then she ran
into the house.
The first thing she did was to
climb breathlessly the steep stairs
to her own room, then she lighted
the kerosense lamp, and taking
care to pull down the shade, she
went over to the crinkly mirror
and studied herself. No, she was
just the same. Her hair was not
gold and curly, 1t was mouse.col-
ored and very straight. She had
nothing but an apology Of nose,
and her eyes were not large and
lustrous but gray and sweet and
unnoticeable altogether. 1t was not
that that troubled her so much,
but across one temple was a mark,
u delicate blue mark that time
would never erase and that her
hair would never quite cover.
1t was this that made her self
conscious, wretchedly sure that
girls were plying her and men
turning awyy from the sight with
disgust. 1t was this that had
made her promise to meet Jim

Just once she told herself she

Maine County Corners
Country's Best PAGERS
By HENRY A. FARNHAM.

For q time the issue WaS IN uouDt
Willard won the first heat of the first race
at Caribou on August 25, but the other
two went to Roy Grattan, the Caribou
horse. In Houlton, a week later, Willard
captured three straight heats, although less
than a neck separated the Braden horse
from his antagonists. Early in September
Roy Grattan won at Presque Isle and
again at Woodstock, \. b. although by
narrow margin.
The madness which eGveloped Aroostook
spread to the rest of Maine and the three
racers were brought down to Bangor.
where over 10000 enthusiasts from every
hamlet in the State gathered at Bass Park
to watch what was to be the deciding. con-
test.
Book making and pool selling is illegal
under the Maine law, but the night before
the race several hundred Aroostook towns
men jammed themselves into the cellar of
one of the hotels and bought pools frantic
ally. Roy Grattan was the favorite at odds
of ten to eight. Presque Isle and Houlton
both were confident and, figuratively, all
three towns bet their shirts.
The track was perfect and Roy Grattan
drew the pole. A groan went up from the
Presque Isle and Houlton contingents in
the grand stand, for it was felt that the
three horses were so evenly matched that
even so slight an advantage as that would
decide the race. There was almost no scor-
ing Around the track they went like three
perfect and well oiled pacing machines,
their names streaming in the wind and
their drivers crouching low on the wire
wheeled sulkies.
Braden took the lead as they passed up
the backstretch on the first lap. Jackson
Grattan's nose drew up until it was even
with Braden's withers, and there it stuck.
Roy Grattan was nearly abreast of the
Houlton horse and could not be shaken off.
They thundered down the homestretch
and under the wire without the change
of a fraction of an inch in their relative
positions The second and third heats
were repetitions of the first, save that Roy
instead of Jackson Grattan won second
place in the third Presque Isle had
cleaned up again.
Later there were races on the State Fair
grounds at Lewiston and on the track n
waterville, but John r. Braden's suprem
acy remained mistaken and the bank
accounts of his owners grew overnight
beyond their most sanguine expectations.
Aroostook's chief income comes from
potatoes, and it is going to be bad year
But Houlton and Caribou already are
talking of Margaret Dillon and Fort Fair
field-the only Aroostook town of any con-
sequence at present without Grand Cir
cult racer-is casting eyes toward Single G.
Once they make up their minds it is likely
that the price will not matter overmuch.
But one question is causing serious con-
Germ: Can either Margaret Dillon or Single
G.-the two flyers still left in the Grand
Circuit free-for- -all-show their heels to
the Presque Isle racer? That's what the
rest of Aroostook wants TO know, and

BIG PICTURE THIS WEEK
OF Special Interest to Alexandrians-
Love, War and Romance

Whatever you may say of Robert
W. Chambers as writer Of fiction,
he is always fascinating. In his novel
cardigan. A lovely but high-tempered
best work ever! The novel itself is a
faithful portrayal Of the times at the
outbreak of the American Revolution.
British officers and soldiers, Ameri-
can pioneers, Indian allies, traitors,
patriots, and breathless develop
ment in plot and adyenture-with a
beautiful love-story running through
it like q silver brook threading 4
stately forest-the attention never re-
lakes for a moment. \ young IriSA
boy with his devotion to the ward Of
the English governor, is the hero
Cardngan. 4 lovely but high-tempered
English heircss, ward of the tyran-
meal governor, is the heroine. Skin
mishes, single combats, Indian tor
lures and burning at the stake, the
midnight ride of Paul Revere, Patrick
Henry, the Minute Men, patriots,
spies,-this is the atmosphere. Col
onial costumes and customs and
architecture, marvellous setting Of
scenery of the primitive Wilderness
these are all faithfully reproduced and

We call this screen play one Of the
greatest ever attempted, and it were

historical truth.
