But l thought at the last she just

so. and begged me to forgive her for
all she'd brought upon me and said It
was cruel, cruel shame. when there
were children. and people ought to

willing to stand anything. And then.
In the next breath. she'd beg me not to

Then the conductor cried, "Au

she must be Aunt Jane. because she
was with John. The conductor was
awfully nice and polite, and didn't
leave me till he'd seen me safe In the
hands Of Aunt Jane and John. Then
he went back to his train, and the next
minute It had whlzzed out Of the sta

The nrst beginning was q nice

you do, Maryr from Aunt Jane. And

l wasn't gsing to like Aunt Jane-just

way she looked me over from head to

Aunt Jane Is tall and thin, and
wears black-not the pretty, stylish
black, but the -I-dOn't-care" rusty
black-and a stin white collar. Her

The high school as well as the COM

caused by the death of Albert Head

Albert was universally beloved and

his schoolmates and teachers and
of the town OF genial and sunny
disposition, he was liked by everyone.
In athletics, he was one OF the main
stays of the basketball team; in scho-
larship, he was one of the best schol'
ars in the high school.
Albert was out of school only eight
days prior to his death, which came
as a sudden shock to everyone. On
the day of the funeral Monday of this
week, the high school was closed and
the pupils of the high and grammar
attended in body and accompanied
the other mourners to the burial
grounds in South Scion. His desk

DREAMS OF FIRE. BARN
BURNING
Bel0nie Bouchard Sustains Heavy Loss.
Live Stock and Property Destroyed

The barn on the Belonie Bouchard
farm, about mile from town on the
Athens road with its contents was
burned Thursday morning victor
Bouchard was the first OF the family
to discover the fire at twenty minutes
before four o'clock. He dreamed OF
a fire and when he opened his eyes
saw the light of the burning barn.
Neighbors living some distance away
discovered the fire about $3.50 but did
not reach the scene until members Oh
the family had awakened. The fur-
nishings were partially removed from
the house but both the house and shed
were saved although one side OF the
dwelling was badly scOrched and the
windows were broken. The barn stood
about fifteen minutes after 1t was dis
covered to be on fire. With the barn
were burned driving horse, COW,
six pigs. two big hogs. about one hun
dred tons of hay. five hundred bushels
of grain, two tons of fertilizer and the
entire outfit of farming tools which
were in the basement. The burned
property was insured for about $1,000
and the loss was agout $500 This
Is the second fire which the Bouchards
have suffered since owning the proper
ty which was formerly the A. x. Per-
kins farm, their entire set of build
ings having been consumed In a con-
fiagration eight years ago last Thanks

enough TO secure the screen version

err 30th. Its real old fashioned Amer
icanization stuff. There are no bed
room scenes or other Objectionable
Sex interests such as abound In so
many of the big movie shows of the
present. Every child in Skowhegan
should be taken to see it as an educa-
tional benefit. Wherever it has been
shown there has been universal ap-
probation from statesmen, church
men and the public generally 1t is
rightly called the first real American
Historical Romance of the Screen. IL
shows one of the vital incidents in
the history of our country, and in
spires young and old with its genuine
patriotism. You viii love this coun-
try of ours a little more when you
come out of the theatre.
The boys of the Legion have bought
the piece and the house for the Goth
They are offering substantial prizes
for the greatest number of seats sold,
and at only thirty-tive cents there can
be no question hut that the house will
be sold out In most cities "Cardi-
gan" has brought dollar and half,
but the Skowhegan boys want to see
the Opera House packed just for once
at Legion benefit 1t isn't going
to be a money making proposition for
them. but it is going to give them the
satisfaction that they have been the
cause of getting before the people of
Skowhegan a splendid true American
play that will thrill. instruct and make
everyone who sees it just little more
genuine and American than before.
