observed definitely. Some said, after
the terrible event that was to happen
this night. Wrong! It was because,
for the first time in many generations,
the Comus ball was held in one of the
newer pubkc buildings instead Of in
it's accustomed place. Everyone was
speaking of it. Even Maillard the
banker, that cold man Of dollars, spoke
uneasily of it when Gramont encoun-
tered him in the smoking room.
sit doesn't seem like Comus," said
Maillard, with a vexed frown. "And
to think that we had just finished re-
decorating the opera house when 1t
was burned down! Comus will never
be the same again.
II didn't know you could feel such
emotion for a ruined building, Mall
lard" said Gramont lightly. The
banker shrugged trifle.
Emotion? No. Regret! None of
US, who has been brought up in the
traditions of the city, but regarded
the French Opera house as the center
of all our stored life. You can't un-
derstand it, Gramont; no outsider
can. BY the way, you haven't seen
Bob? He's in costume, but he might
have spoken to you"
Gramont answered in the negative,
with a slight surprise at the question.
1t was not long before he came to
comprehend more fully just what the
loss of the old French Opera house
meant to the assembly. He heard COM
parsons made on every hand, regret
full illusions, signs for the days that
were no more.
This present building, to be sure,
was one of the city's finest, up to date
in every way, with an abundance of
room-and yet everyone said that Co
mus would never be the same. About
the opera house had chung the romance
of many generations. About it, too,
had chung the affections of the people
with a fierceness beyond reason. More
famous buildings had been allowed to
go to ruin, like the Hotel Royale, but
the opera house had been kept in re-
pair for Mardi Gras. 1t was itself
a landmark Nothing else would ever
be like it.
From his seat in the Lavergne box
Gramont contented himself during the

every well. Do not plan to wear
any jewels, Lucie. I have a set to
lend you for the occasion-no, not a
gift, merely loan for the sake Of
Comus. They are very nice pearls; a
little old fashioned, because they were
mounted for the Princess de Lamballe,
but you will find that they fit in ex-
cellently with your gown. I'll bring
them with me when / call for you"
"And I'll tender fitting thanks then.
One thing more: Henry Gramont is
going to see you after luncheon, |
think-on business. And want you
to be nice to him, Uncle joachim"
Most assuredly," said the other,
dryly. 81 should like to be associated
in business with that young man. The
firfn would prosper"
Smiling, she hung up the receiver.
Ten minutes later, when Gramont
and Miss Ledanois entered the wait
ing car, Hammond saw the boxes that
they carried. He stood beside the
open door, paralyzed, his eyes fas-
tened on the boxes, his mouth agape.
"To the post Office, sergeant" said
Gramont, then affected to observe his
stupefaction. "Why, what's the mat
ter?"
Hammond met his twinkling eyes,
saw the laughter of Lucie, and swal-
lowed hard.
'I-er-nothing at all, cap'n,' he an
swered, hoarsely. "A-little chokin'
spell, that's all. Post office? Yes,
sir"

FISH WAS MISTAKEN FOR VESSEL

unbelief to this strange tale, until,
one day, this beautiful craft passed
directly under the stern of a passing
vessel and it was seen to be a gigan-
tic swordfish which is now known as
the "sailor-fish.' The sail was really
an enormously developed dorsal fin,
over 10 feet high, and richly colored
with blue and iridescent tints. AS
the fish swan along near the surface
of the water this great fin waved to

was easily mistaken for sail.

Peculiar Appearance of Swordfish
Gave Rise to Many Strange
Stories Concerning IT,.

In the warm waters of the Indian
ocean there lives a strange mariner,
who is the cause of many tales among
the natives of the nearby coasts. They
tell of a wonderful sail often seen in
the calm seasons, when not a breath
disturbs the water, and the sea rises
and falls like an immense sheet of
glass. Suddenly a sail appears, APP
parently driven along by mighty
wind. This sail glistens with rich
purple and golden hues. On it comes
ouivering and sparkling as if covered
with gems; then, suddenly, it dis
appears as quickly as it came!

nance. Then, mastering himself, he
turned away without further speech.
Leaving Hammond to take the car
home, Gramont headed for Canal
street to mingle with the carnival
crowd and revel in his new-found
sense of freedom. Now that he was
his own master, he felt like a new
man. With a boyish abandon he
tramped the streets merrily, exchang-
ing jests and confetti, shoves and
bladder-blows laughs and kisses. Mad
ness and reckless gayety were in the
very air, and Gramont drank deep of
these youthful tonics. When at last
he wandered home to his pension, he
was footsore, weary, disarranged and
tousled-and very happy. The wine
Of human comradeship is good wine.
That evening the Comus ball, the
most exclusive revel of the most ex-
elusive aristocracy of the southland,
crowded the edif1ce in which it was
held to capacity. Here evening dress
was prescribed for all the guests. The
Krewe of Comus alone were masked
and costumed, in grotesque and mag
nificent costumes which had been in
the making for months The Krewe
is to the South what the Bohemian
club is to the western coast, with the
added enhancement of mystery.
Despite the reyels of the Krewe,
however-despite the glittering jewels,
the barbaric costumes, the music, the
excitement-an indefnable air of re-
greet, almost of sadness, pervaded the
entire gathering. This feeling was
something to be sensed, rather than

REGISTRARS WILL

 Until September l6 FAVOR STANDARD TIME
Local Members of Berlin Grange Dis like Daylight Saving Plan-Legion Committee Will Meet-Notes About Town

The registrars for the Town of Der lin will be in session on Friday August and again on Friday Angus il, for the purpose of receiving ap- plications for enrolment on the eau GUS list. They will also be in session on Tuesday, September 5, for the purpose of taking the names of those desirous of becoming voters and on Saturday, September 1s. for the pur- pose of making voters.
 The registrars will sit from 12 o'clock noon until 3 o'clock in the evening at both of the sessions in August which will be held in the Town Hall. Henry Deming and Omar Pelletier are the registrars for this town.
 Mir. Deming stated this morning that a comparatively small number of applications for caucus registrations are expected next month. Anyone who Is now registered Is not obliged to apply again, but new voters who de- sire to participate in the coming fall caucuses must file their intentions with the registrars.
 All applications for enrolment on the caucus must be filed before g o'clock on the night of August II as anyone who has not submitted an application by that time will not be able to participate in the primaries for the nomination of candidates for the local officers in October and the state offices in November.
 It was learned this morning that MT. Pelletier. the democratic regis trar, Is planning to move from Ber- lin sometime within the next few days and will not be in town when the registrars are scheduled to meet next month.
 MT. Deming stated this morning that he will confer with First Se- lectman Carter in the matter and have Mir. Carter appoint a successor to Mir. Pelletier. No possible candi- date has been mentioned as suc- cessor.
 Favor Standard Time.
 Although no official action has been to joing or organizing standard tlIne league III tIoTllll, IL IS unueT- stood that such action Is seriously being considered by many of it's mem- bers.
 Those who belong to the local Grange have stated that they are in favor of standard time and are op posed to the so-called daylight saving time. At meeting held early in the spring the local association went on record as being opposed to the day light saving plan.
 The State Grange association is be- hind movemnet which would do away with the daylight saving plan and that organization is backed by the local Grange.
 The daylight saving time interferes with the work of the farmer, it is said, and for this reason the members of the various Oranges are opposed to it. The daylight saving for this year will end in October when the various towns and cities will again adopt standard time.' There are many farm CTS in Berlin who have been working on standard time all summer.

Completion Of Ideal Section in
Northern Indiana Is Expect
ed This Year.

Northern Indiana has been favored
with such excellent weather for several
weeks that it begins to look as II the
paving Of the ideal section Of the Lin
coin highway can be completed this
year. Early in October 1t was feared
that delays due to the railroad strike
had held up the work SO much that
freezing weather would set in before
more than half Of the paving could be
completed.
Work Is now going. forward rapidly
and only a few more days will be neces-
sary to complete the mile and a third Of
road which Is to be laid and two bridges.
From 400 to $50 feet of twenty foot ten
inch reinforced concrete are being laid
daily.
The forty-foot width is being laid in
two twenty-foot strips. which. however,
Join at the center to make forty feet Of
continuous paving, steel dowel bars con-
Meeting the north and south halves Of
the road into one unit. The central Joint

During October the progress Of the
work was inspected by many visitors
with technical interest in the way the
job Is handled. These included Army
