Members Of the Barre Woman's
club and friends made up 3 good
sized audience that listened atten-
lively to an address on "The Art of
Interior Decoration" in the opera
house last evening. the subject being
handled by Miss Mary II. Northend Of
Salem, Mass, an authority on home
decorations. There would have been
many more but for the conflicting at
fractions.
Miss Northend, who Is a direct de-
scendent of one Of Salem's old settlers,
brought to her hearers a message that
was full Of inspiration and she dis
played on the screen rs colored slides,
exact reproductions Of many Of the
colonial homes in and around Salem.
In justice TO the speaker il should be
stated that a bad fall in the opera
house in the morning, in which her
glasses were broken, cutting her face
quite badly and being injured other
wise, very nearly prevented her from
delivering her lecture. As il was she
worked under considerable Of A ner-

MAYOR SHIELDS APPEAL.
To Barre People to Enlist in the Red
Cross Cause.

To the Citizens Of Barre:
This week Thursday is the annual
roll call Of the American Red Cross
and sincerely hope every citizen of
Barre win do his best to make the
membership 100 per cent this year.
There are two special reasons why
the public generally should assist the
Red Cross at the present time One
is that it has been Of real service to
former soldiers. who have been dis
abled and that it has co-operated with
the government in looking after their
welfare. The second is that it is giv-
ing great aid TO the distressed people
of the Near East.
We are all familiar with the good
work the Red Cross has done in Barre,
both through the efforts Of the local
chapter and our capable Red Cross
nurse. l, therefore, hope that all pres
ent members will renew their member
ship and that those who have not
joined heretofore, will deem ii their
duty TO do 50 this year.

they went round the block together to
the Corvet house. Sheriff., after a few
instants' hesitation, took the key from
his pocket and unlocked the door and
went in. The rooms, they saw, were
all in perfect order; summer covers
had been put upon the furniture; pro-
tecting cloths had been spread over
the beds upstairs. After their inspec-
ton, they came out again at the front
door, and her father closed it with a
swapping Of the spring lock.
Constance, as they walked away,
turned and looked back at the old

newer, fresher-looking neighbors, and
suddenly she choked, and her eyes
grew wet. That feeling was not for
Uncle Benny; the drain Of days past
had exhausted such surge Of feeling

WHY LIBRARIANS LIKE JOB
Get Amusement Out of Singular
Transformation of Book Titles in :,
Memories of Readers. y

The scholastic hush of the public
library is seldom broken by a litter,
but the librarianettes In the central
circulation department have steady
refuge from hard work in the COM
pilation of the singular transforms
tiOns of book titles that take place in
the memories Of seekers for literary
sweetness and light. Herewith is the
latest unofficial bulletin, according to
q New York Sun writer:
Have you got Jack London's The
Shout in the Woods'?'' inquired a visit
full young thing.
"'The Shout in the Woods'?' echoed
the experienced librarianette. "Let me
see. I'm sure can find out which Of
his novels you mean. Oh, yes-isn't
it The Call of the Wild?"
That's what said," murmured the
wistful young thing" The Call Of
the Wild"
Of course it's a pardonable slip to
ask for Galsworthy's For Rent" when
you really want his ITO Let" The
difference is hardly worth mentioning.
But it's really almost profane to de-
mand: 'The Autograph on the Break
fast Table"

at. Inc names and addresses on these
Oldest, yellowed pages had been first
written, 1t was plain, all at the same
time and with the same pen and Ink,
and each sheet In the beginning had
contained seven or eight names. Some
OF these original names and even the
addresses had been left unchanged,
but most Of them had been scratched
out and altered many times-other
and quite different names had been
substituted; the pages had become
finally almost illegible, crowded
scrawls, rewritten again and again in
Corvet's cramped hand. Alan strained
forward, holding the first sheet to the
light.
Alan seized the clippings he had
looked at before and compared them
swiftly with the page he had just read
two of the names-Westhouse and
French-were the same as those upon
this list. Suddenly he grasped the
other pages of the list and looked
them through for his own name; but
1t was not there. He dropped the
sheets upon the table and got up and
began to stride about the room.
He felt that In this list and in these
clippings there must be, somehow
some one general meaning-they must
relate in some way to one thing; they
must have deeply, intensely concerned
Benjamin Corvet's disappearance and
his present fate, whatever that might
be, and they must concern Alan's fate
as well. But In their disconnection
their incoherence, he could discern no
common thread. What conceivable
bond could there have been uniting
Benjamin Corvet at once with an old
man dying upon a poorfarm in Emmett
county, wherever that might be, and
with baby girl now some two years
old, In Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin?
He called Wassaquam into the H.
brary and brought the lists and clip
pings out again.

"No, Alan. I have seen Ben have

"Yes, Alan; that is ALL"
Alan dismissed the Indian, who,
stolidly methodical In the midst of
these events, went downstairs and
commenced to prepare dinner which
Alan knew he could not eat. Alan got
up and moved about the rooms; he
went back and looked over the lists
and clippings once more; then he
moved about again. How strange a
picture Of his father did these things
call up to him! When he had thought
of Benjamin Corvet before, 1t had been

sued by some thought he could not
conquer, seeking relief In study, In cor

in anything which could engross him
and shut out memory. But now he
must think Of him, not merely as one
trying to forget: what had thwarted

Alan'S passion broke out suddenly.
We're anything but that, Judah. I
found him, the first night I got here
and while you were away, going
through my fathers things. I fought
with him, and he ran away. He was
the one that broke into my fathers
desks; maybe you'll believe that, even
If no one else WILL"
"Yes?" the Indian questioned.
"YesT 1t was plain that he not only
believed but that believing gave him
immense satisfaction. He took Alan's
arm and led him into the smaller IL
brary. He knelt before one Of the draw
ers under the bookshelves-thed drawer,
Alan recalled, which he himself had
been examining when he had found
WassaQuam watching him. He drew
out the drawer and dumped it's con-
tents out upon the floor; he turned
the drawer about then, and pulled the
bottom out of it. Beneath the bottom
which he had removed appeared now
another bottom and few sheets of
paper scrawled In an uneven hand and
with different colored inks.
AT sight Of them, Spearman, who
had followed them into the room, ut
tered an oath and sprang forward. The
Indians small dark hand grasped
Spearman's wrist, and his face
twitched itself into a fierce grin
which showed how little civilization
had modified in him the aboriginal
passions. But Spearman did not try
to force his way; instead, he drew
back suddenly.
Alan stopped and picked up the pa
pers and put them in his pocket. If
the Indian had not been there, it
would not have been so easy for him
to do that, he thought

CHAPTER XII
The Things From Corvet's Pockets.
Miss Constance Sheriff..

1hAoS OOuSIduCc SucrrlIl,
Harbor Springs, Michigan"
The address, in large scrawling let
tiers, was written across the brown
paper Of the package which had been
brought from the post Office in the lit
tie resort village only few moments
before. The paper covered a shoe box,
crushed and old, bearing the name of
rs. Klug, Dealer in Fine Shoes, Mani
towoc, Wisconsin" The box, like the
outside wrapping, was carefully tied
with string.
Constance, knowing no one In Mani
towoc and surprised at the nature of
the package, glanced at the postmark
on the brown paper which she had re-
moved; it too was stamped Mantle
woe. She cut the strings about the
box and took off the cover. A black
and brown dotted silk cloth filled the
box; and, seeing it, Constance caught
her breath. 1t was-at least 1t was
very like-the muffler which Uncle
Benny used to wear In winter.
She started with trembling fingers
to take it from the box; then, realiz-
ing from the weight of the package
that the cloth was only wrapping or,
at least, that other things were in the
box, she picked up box and wrapping
and ran up to her room. She locked
the door and put the box upon the
bed; now she lifted out the cloth. 1t
was a wrapping, for the heavier things
came with it; and now, also, it re-
vealed itself plainly as the scarf-Un-
Gle Benny's scarf! A paper futtered
out as she began to unroll it-a little
croSs-lined leaf evidently torn from a
pocket memorandum book. 1t had
been folded and rolled up. She spread
it out; writing was upon it, the small
irregular letters of Uncle Benny's
hand.
"Send to Alan Conrad" she read;
there followed a Chicago address-the
number of Uncle Benny's house on
Astor street. Below this was another
line:
Better care Of Constance Sheriff.
(Miss)." There followed the oher-
rills' address upon the Drive. And to
this was another correction:
"Not after June II; then to HarbOr
Springs, Mich. Ask some one Of that;
be sure the date; after June r."
Constance, trembling, unrOlled the
scarf now coins showed from fold,
next a pocketknife, ruined and rusty
next a watch-a mans large gold
watch with the case queerly pitted
and worn completely through in places,
and last a plain little band of gold of
the size for woman's fnger-a we'd
ding ring. Constance, gasping and
with fingers shaking so from excite
ment that she could scarcely hold
these objects, picked them up and ex-
amined them-the ring first.
1t very evidently was, as she had

not with the sort Of wear which
