Children Must Pay
for Ruined Dresses

Throwing eggs, tomatoes, melon
rinds and the like was very expen-
sive sort of entertainment for young
sters who persisted in throwing them
at passing automobile and at pedes-
TRANS on the Fairfield beach road.
Five children, including some little
girls, threw a few too many ana as a
result were forced to pay SIS each
today because they had ruined two
extensive dresses beIoning to people
who found out their identity. This
sort of entertainment has caused
great many complaints to come to the
noIice and they have warned the chill
dren many times to restrain from
throwing the missiles at the passing
automobiles; but to no avail. The
culprits could not be found until some
women became incensed because their
clothes had been ruined and when
women's clothes are ruined they gem
orally begin work. They found the
culprits and made them pay for their
sport While they did not report them
to the police their threats were well
taken and the dresses were paid for.

Up Crooks and Baggage
Snatching Gangs.

Paris. Sept. 15.-Making the rail-
roads of Europe-and of France in
particular-safe for the tourist is the
object of a campaign now being waged
by the Ministry of Public Works
While the police are working
steadily to rid French railroads of
crooks. baggage snatchers and con-
fdence men, the Government agencies
which control transp ortation in the
republic are seeking to eliminate
dangers along the right of way, un-
dependable employees and old-fashion-
ed administrative methods
That success is already on the way
is shown by M. lie Trocquer, Minister
of Public Works, in a statistical arti-
Gle published by LIE Matin.
According to these figures there
have been only twenty persons killed
and 166 injured during the first half
of 1922 on French railroads.
The total figures for 1921 were 1s7
Killed and 656 injured. The totals for
1918. worst year of the last decade.
were 349 killed and 1,435 injured; for.
1915, best year of the last decade, but
one in which there was practically no
foreign born travel, the totals were az
killed, $50 injured.
So far this year there have been
only fourteen serious accidents; last
year saw seventy-two. AS many pas
sengers were carried the first half o.
this year as the first half of last.

who have established forunetel1ing
esta b1ishments here. The Times yes

STRUCTURAL STEEL
INDIANA W0MAN'S
PROFESSION

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 15.-"Just

to me that there was a great field for
women in the steel business 1 thought
about it for several months, consulted
with him numerous times and finally
got right down to hard study of the
business. 1 dislike transacting BUSH
ness with men (contractors) who
know nothing of steel. It is so easy to
take advantage of them and they are
not in a position to know whether one
is playing square with them or not.
That is my first business rule-a
square deal and no favoritism."
Mrs. Shacsere expects to bring out
shortly a new patent device for a
street car. Between times of bidding
and working on her patent she de-
votes herself to her home and two fine
children-a son and a daughter.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
Bile and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions
Many send for sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam
pie size bottle by Parcel Post. You can

CHAPTER XIII.

The Owner of the Watch.
$50 they got word to you'll" Con-
stance exclaimed; she seemed still
confused. "Oh, no-of course they
couldn't have done that! They've
hardly got my letter yet"
'Your letter." Alan asked.
II wrote to Blue Rapids" she ex-
planned. "Some things came-they
were sent to me. Some things of
Uncle Benny's which were meant for
you instead of me-"
you mean you've heard from
him?"
"No-not that"
"What things. Miss Sherrlll?"
"A watch of his and some coins and
"a ring" She did not explain the
significance of those things, and he
could not tell from her mere enumera-
tion OF them and without seeing them
that they furnished proof that his
father was dead She could not in
form him of that, she felt, just here
and now.
"I'll tell you about that later. YOU
you were coming to Harbor Point to
see us?"
He colored. "Tm afraid not. l got
as near as this to you because there
is man-an Indian-I have to see."
"An Indianl What Is his name?
You see, know quite. lot Of them"
40 Papo."
She shook her head. mo; don't
know him."
She found a spot where the moss
was covered with dry pine needles and
sat down upon the ground.
"Sit down." she invited; II want
you to tell me what you have been do
Ing"
1--WE been on the boats" He
dropped down upon the moss beside
her. Until yesterday I was not
very highly honored member of the
crew of the package freighter Oscoda;
1 left her at Frankfort and came up
here"
"Is Wassaquam with you?"
"He wasn't on the Oscoda; but he
was with me at first. Now, l believe,
he has gone back to his own people
to Middle Village"
"You mean you've been looking for
Mr. Corvet in that wayw
"Not exactly that" He hesitated;
but he could see no reason for not tell
Ing what he had been doing. He had
not so much hidden from her and her
father what he had found in Benja-
min Corvet's house; rather. he had re-
Trained from mentioning 1t in his notes
to them when he left Chicago because
he had thought that the lists would
lead to an immediate explanation
they had not led to that, but only to
q suggestion, indefinite yet He had
known that, If his search finally de-
veloped nothing more than 1t had he
must at last consult Sheriff. and get
Sherrills aid.
1--WE found some writing, Miss Sher-
rill," he said, "in the house on Astor
street that night after Luke came"
"What writing?"
He took the lists from his pocket
and showed them to her. She sepa-
rated and looked through the sheets
and read the names written in the
same hand that had written the direc-
tions upon the slip Of paper that came
TO her four days before, with the
things from Uncle Benny's pockets.
"My father had kept these very Sc
cretly,r he explained. "He had them
hidden. Wassaquam knew where they
were, and that night after Luke was
dead and you had gone home, he gave
them to me-"
after l had gone home! Henry |
went back to see you that night; he
