served on Selectman William J. John son and Town Clerk Robert c. Usher by the superior court, will be re- turned and placed on the lists for a hearing between the Town Plan com mission and the indignant property owners affected by the proposed road way from the Casting Company to Broad street. The owners in that dis trict, through Attorney Andrew Browell, will put up stiff battle for their rights and will undoubtedly de- mand 8 re-appraisal of the property affected. They feel that the town could easily build the roadway through their lands without charging benefits as they are willing to give the property but see no need of paying for the street inasmuch as it will not benefit them greatly. The hearing will probably not be schoSuled for the next three months and by that time, it will be too late for the town to go ahead and finish the now half com pleted road

NO MONEY IS SPENT IN CLEARING SNOW Some Roads in Poor Condition at
 Present Time
 OPPOSE TOWN FARM SALE
Selectman Carter One Of Several Who Does Not Think Selling Is Advis- able-D. A. i,. Mceting-In Office 6 Years-Bcrlin Briefs.

As a result of the thawing of the snow and ice during the past two days several of the roads in Berlin, Kensington and East Berlin are in a poor condition. This is especially true in the outlying districts of the town.
 Main street in kcnsington from the kilby House to the old JepSon store is in as poor condition as any other road in town. This road is used cN- tensively and should be repaired by the town authorities as soon as possible.
 Scectman George B. Carter was called this morning and in talking over the condition of the various roads about the town stated that he expects to have the town teams and horses working on them early next week During the past months he has been unable to have repair work done on the roads due to the snow and ice on the ground,
 Mir. Carter also stated that no money has been spent by the town to date this year for the removal of snow. Snow has been taken from the LuFnn1ke dlOllS l'ti hti o''NN' '"N , the expense of this work is defrayed by the state. The town, however, will be obliged 10 pay one-quarter ol tho cost for the removal Of snow rom the state aid road from Berlin street to Towers corner in New Britain. The town clerk has not as yet re ccived bill for this work.
 Berlin has been fortunate during the past two years inasnuch as the town has expended no money for the removal of snow from it's streets with the exception of the one-quafter share which it is obliged to pay 10 the state In years previous recorus at the town clerks office show that as much as from S400 to $500 has been used for this purpose.
 Objects to Town Farm Sale.
 The committee, which was appoint cd at special town meeting last fall to investigate the proposition of sell ing the town farm will meet some time next week, the exact date to be announced later by Selectman Car ter. The members of the commit tee for some time past have had nn- de7 consideration the sale of the farm as well as the town teams and purchasing motor equipment Ill the place of the latter.
 Mr. Carter said this morning that he considers the sale at the present time to be T foolish move on tho part of the town Tn his opinion the land is increasing in value daily and would probably net the town larger suin ill later years. He also thinks that the town will still have need of a farm. It was thought at the spe- 1 cia town meeting that the few in- 1 mates Of the local town farm could be transferred to the New Britain

home and that city be paid nom- inal sum by'this town for taking care of the patients.
 Several of the taxpayers have been approached by Mr. Carter and other members of the committee and it seems to be public sentiment that the town farm should not be sold. Sec retary Leland Gwatkin has communi- cated with other Connecticut towns to find out what they are doing in the matter, and will give his report before the meeting of the committee. special town meeting must be called before April 1 to take final action on the proposition.
 D. A. R. Meeting.

R., will be held at the community house on Berlin street one week from today, February 10, and will be open to the public The hostesses will be Mrs. r. Deming, Mrs. Harold Stearns, Miss Ca-oline Savage, Mrs. T. c. Hodeson and Mrs. S. A. l'iske

The Strength Of the Pines

snot. Bruce meant to conserve his
little supply Of shells until the moment
Of utmost need. The clan drew nearer.
They were riding slowly, with ready
rifles. And ever the storm Increased
in fury. The thunder was so close
that 1t no longer gave the impression
OF being merely sound. 1t was veri-
table explosion just above their heads.
The first drops of rain fell one by one
on the roof.
Bruce's eyes sought for SImon's fig
ure. To Simon he owed the greatest
debt, and to lay Simon low might mean
to dishearten the whole clan. But al
though the attackers were In fair range
now, scarcely two hundred yards
away, he could not identify him. They
drew closer. He raised his gun, wait
Ing for chance to fire. And at that
instant resistless force hurled him
to the floor.
There was the sense of vast catas-
trophe, great rocking and shudder-
ing that was lost In billowing waves Of
sound; and then a frantic effort to re-
call his wandering faculties. A blind
ing light cut the darkness in twain !;
it smote his eyeballs as if with a phys
ical blow and summOning all his pow
ers of will he sprang to his feet.
There was only darkness at first;
and he did not understand. But it
was scarcely less duration than the
flash of lightning. A red flame sud-
denly leaped into the air, roared and
grew and spread as if scattered by the
wind itself. And Bruce's breath caught
in sob Of wonder.
The Sentinel Pine, that ancient
friend and counselor that stood not
over one hundred feet from the house,
had been struck by lightning bolt,
its trunk had been cleft open as If by
a giants ak, and the fame was already
springing through its balsam-Iaden
branches.

His eyes bazed, and he caught her

1T was a symbol. Linda, not only

Linda understood. She knew that this
new-found strength did not mean re-
nunciation of her cause. 1t did not mean
that he would give over his attempt
to reinstate her as the owner of her
fathers estates. 1t only meant that the
impulse of personal vengeance was
dead within him. He knew now-the
same as ever-that the duty Of the

and without passion to overcome the
difficulties that stand in the way. She

ride on" Simon ordered. "You
know a man can't find target in the
hundredth Of second of a lightning
flash. We're not going to turn back
now"
They rode on. Far away they heard
the whine and roar of wind, and in
moment it was upon them. The forest
was no longer silent. The peal of the
thunder was almost continuous.
The breaking of the storm seemed
to rock the Folger house on its founda-
ton. Both Linda and Bruce leaped TO
their feet; but they felt a little Jingle
of awe when they saw that old Elmira
still sat sewing. 1t was as if the calm
that dwelt in the Sentinel Pine out
side had come down to abide in her.
No force that the world possessed
could ever take it from her.
They heard the rumble and creak
of the trees as the wind smote them,
and the flame of the lamp danced wild
ly, filling the room with Pickering
shadows. Bruce Strengthened, the
lines of his face setting deep. He
glanced once more at the rifle in his
hands.
Linda" he said, put out that fire.
If there's going to be an attack, we'd
have better chance If the room was
in darkness. We can shoot through
the door then"
She obeyed at once, knocking the
burning sticks apart and drenching
them with water. She took off the
glass shade of the lamp, and the little
gusts of wind that crept in the cracks
of the windows Immediately extin-
guished the fame The darkness
dropped down. Then Bruce opened the
door,
The whole wilderness world strug-
gled in the grasp of the storm. The
scene was such that no mortal men,
DRY could possibly forget. They saw
it in great, vivid glinpses in the inter-
mittent flashes of the lightning, and
the world seemed no longer that which
they had come to know Chaos was
upon it. The tall tops Of the trees
wagged back and forth in frenzied sig
nails; their branches smote and rubbed
together. And just without their door
the Sentinel Pine stood with top lifted
to the fury of the storm.
A strange awe swept over Bruce.
A moment later he was to behold a
sight that for the moment would make
him completely forget the existence OF
the great tree; but for an instant he
poised at the brink of profound and
far-reaching discovery. There was
great lesson for him in that dark, tow
ering figure that the lightning revealed.
Its great limbs moved and spoke; It's
top swayed back and forth, yet still it
held its high place as Sentinel OF the
Forest, passionless, patient, talking
through the murk Of clouds to the
stars that burned beyond.
"See," Linda said. 1.-The Turner's
are coming"
1t was true. Bruce dropped his eyes.

| would make every effort to bring the
offenders to the law. But the ability
to shoot a fleeing enemy in the back
because Of wrongs done long ago, was
past.
Bruce's vision had come to him. He
knew that If vengeance had been the

world, the sphere would have been de-

to judge, not to condemn, not to re-

The Turner'S had gone. The dim
ming lightning revealed the entire at
lacking party half mile distant and
out of rifle range on the ridge; and
Bruce and Linda stole together out
into the storm.
The green foliage of the tree had
already burned away, but some of the
upper branches still glowed against
the dark sky. A fallen branch smol-

Awed and mystified, Bruce halted
before the ruin of the great tree. He

in the hollow tree trunk through some

SPECULATION MANIA
IS SHOWING UP WITH
PARTITION OF SILESIA
(Rv Associated Pressl


KREUZBURG, July 8-A wild man
la of speculation. recalling the days
of the California gold fever. already
has appeared in connection with the
partition of Upper Silesia. The dan
ger of losing certain established trade
connecting through such a stampede,
however. is preventing some German
traders from entering new combina-
tons. the purpose of which is the pro-
motion of common interests on either
side of the boundary.
But there is a tendency among
German firms whose connections do
not make it necessary for them to re-
main in the territory now acquired by
Poland to remove to the German side
of the border. These migrators con-
tinue to retain their premises on the
other side of the line pending devel-
opments.
The first days of the opening of the
frontier have witnessed the invasion
of various cities by dealers from one
side or the other in a mad rush to buy
UP such articles as are useful in their
particular lines of business. 1t seeNs
likely that the Upper Silesia trade
center. which hitherto has been Bres
lau, will be shifted to Cracaw.
A considerable movement is notice
able also in the ranks of labor. Many
German workingmen are crossing the
line. preferring to take their chances
in the Fatherland rather than continue
their former employment on Polish
soil under Polish labor conditions.
