DEEP WATERS
Tragedy Hangs Ouer
Heads Of the Barretts
BY Zoe Beckley

Silence like the hush IN electrically
charged atmosphere before the crash
OF storm, was over the Barrett
breakfast table.
II oppressed even the maid as she
came and went with dishes. She
wondered, much as simple folk Won

so comfortably situated as Mr.. and
Mrs. Barrett should be unhappy.
All the things Nora pictured as
bringing Joy were there. A beaut-
full home: two smart cars; the head
of the house handsome, well-to-do;
the mistress cultured "a good dress
er" and a favorite apparently with
everyone-except her husband;
"hne young fellow" OF a son about
TO enter college; a daughter with all
the good points OF both parents and
herself a popular member OF IN"
senior class In high school.
What could the Barretts possibly
have more? Yet actual tragedy
was in the air. Nora sighed as she

Aledo, May 9.-When Attorney D.
A. Hebel and County Treasurer c.
A. Friese ran onto an 1S-inch ALI
gator last evening in front OF the
Hebel residence on North College
avenue, they began to think they
were seeing things"
That an inhabitant OF the south
lands could find his way so far
north was more than the two men
could believe and the reptile was
adjudged a huge lizard. The men
obtained a tub, and with the use
of poles of considerable length
were able to capture the reptile
Some one was kind enough to
tell the two nimrods that it was an
alligator they had in captivity and
the property of A. w. swanson
who had brought it back from the
south a year ago. The alligator
has become quite tame and for the
last week has been allowed to roam
in the back yard, making his head
quarters under the back porch OF
the Swanson residence.
For some time Walt Mannon, who
lives next door to the Swansons,
has been endeavoring to steal the
reptile. claiming that it preys upon
his golf balls. He is of the opinion
that an autopsy would bring to
light many of the spheres. On nu-
merous occasions Walt claims that
while his neighbOrS were away one
of his golf balls had bounded into
their yard, but always before he
was able to reach the sphere 1t
disappeared, and in each instance
the alligator seemed a trife more
plump.
