The nearest men took up the body
OF the doctor and they all filed for

who ordered them.
The girl shuddered. Rainey saw
that Lund was exhilarated by his VIC
tory. that the primitive lighting brute
was prominent. Carlsen had tried to
shoot first, goaded to It.; his death
was deserved; but 1t seemed to Rainey
that Lund's exhibition Of savagers
was unnecessary. But he also saw
that Lund would not heed any protest
that he might make. he was stll

sisted. What II Lund regarded the
girl as legitimate loot? He might have
talked differently beforehand, to as
sure himself of Rainey's support.
And Rainey suddenly felt as if his
support had been uncalled upon,
frail reed at best. Lund had not need
ed him; would he need him, save as an
aid, not altogether necessary, with
Hansen aboard, to run the ship?
He said nothing. but thrust both
hands into the side pockets Of the pilot
coat he had acquired from the ships
stores. The sudden touch of cold steel
gave him new courage He had sworn
to protect the girl. If Lund. seeming
more like a pirate than ever, with his
cold eyes sweeping the horizon, his
bulk casting Rainey's into a dwarf's
by comparison, attempted to harm
Peggy Simms, Rainey resolved to play
the part of champion.
He could not shoot like Lund, but
he was armed. He felt the mastery of
the man. And he felt incompetent be-
side him. Lund held the power OF life
and death, not by brute force alone.

and Much Embalming
Fluid Seized

BARRE, March 29-The larg-
est liquor raid of the season was
made last evening by the Barre
police force consisting of Officers
Murley and Gamble, assisted by
Chief Sullivan. 1t was said by
those seizing the cargo, consisting
of 10 barrels of wine and numer-
Gus smaller kegs of embalming

lice relic room for horrible eX-
amples of the passing of J. B.,

There were approximately 800
gallons of liquor taken from the
cellar of Attillio Perantoni Of 6
Seminary street and it took all of
the officers of the law assisted by
u teamstcr and other persons un-
til nearly midnight to clear the
Pcrantoni cellar Of its supply of
hootch.
Several persons were found on
the premises at the time Of the
seizure, but they proved to be
boarders at the Perantoni home.
Owing to the fact that the allcg-
ed booze seller was confined to his
bed by illness he could not be
brought into city court today, al
though he was placed under ar
rest at his home.

THUNDER,
LIGHTNING
AND RAIN
Rivers are Rising, but
Much of the Ice Has
Broken Up

The first thunder shower of
the year visited St. Johnsbury and
vicinity Tuesday night and was
quite severe except for the rainfall
For short time there was a heavy
shower by the official record at
the Fairbanks Museum gave rain
fall of only Sc inches. This was
enough, however, to start the ice
in the Passumpalc river and a gooG
deal of it went down the swollen
stream between 7 and 8 WcdneS-
day morning. Some of the ice was
not broken up until it reached the
so-called Belknap dam at the new
plant of the Twin State Gas and
Electic Co., where the water was
running about three feet over the
dam. No damage was done as the
ice went out as much of il had
been honeycombed by the sun and
rain of the past week.
The ice has not gone out of the
Passumpsic below St. Johnsbury
very much, but unless heavy rains
come it is expected that there will
be no trouble. At the East Barnet
dam the water is the highest this
spring and except near the railroad
bridge the ice is still in the river.
Because of the high water and
the ice the new plant of the Twin
State Company is being operated
by steam Wednesday.
An Associated Press despatch
from Springfield, Mass, says that
the Connecticut river rose Tuesday
to the highest point this season,
reaching II feet above mean low
water here with a rise of a foot
