At the mention of Achison's name
Ramsey hurriedly choked back the
acceptance which was on his lips. His
heart gave a sudden leap of exulta-
ton. He found it hard to throw into
his voice the proper note Of regret.
He was more than sorry, he ex-
planned to Mrs. Fenwashe. but he
was already tied up with an engage
ment for the evening which he could
not possibly break.
At once he began to lay his plans
carefully for the adventure ahead.
Again he discussed with himself the
aGvjsability of taking Hatton into his
confidence, and again decided against
it. He would play the cards as they

The only light showing was In an
upper chamber Of the garage. There
he saw the cook and butler moving
about and evidently preparing for
bed.
He waited until this window also
went dark; then carefully skirting
the clearing, and keeping always In

story with a row of screened windows
hung with fresh dimity curtains.
While Ramsey stood studying the
scene and seeking to impress its
various features on his mind, he
heard the throb Of a motor ascending
the hill, and in a few moments
Achison's big gray car came into
view and swept up to the porch. The
lawyer got out, a suit case in his
hand, q bundle of newspapers under
his arm, and entered the house. The
chauffeur drove on into the garage,
and after an interval appeared at one
of the upper windows.

Rum Runners Fight
Our "Jim" Kelley in a Rum Battle
at Sand Bar Bridge

According to the Associated Press
the officers, including j. M. Kelley of
Morrisville, had a real thrill when
they got Walter, Frank and John
Larose, on the Sand Bar bridge the
night of June IA and captured lot
of high class Canadian booze in a
Chevrolet car. The story in the
dailies follows:
The car was stopped without
trouble, but the excitment began
when two of the men went into an
other car and officer Kelley got in
alone with Walter Larose. The
mans first act was to back the
Chevrolet as far into the lake as it
would go at top speed. He then
eluded the officer, who was in the
water up to his neck, by diving.
Larose proved to be an excellent
swimmer and made for the broad
lake at a high rate of speed. He
succeeded in divesting himself of his
coat and seemed able to swim with
out firing. The officers fired
couple of shots at him in an effort to
get him to come ashore, but he
merely dived and kept on ploughing
up the water.
A boat was procured by Eaton and
Abbott and they started after their
man. He was then nearly a half
mile from shore and when they
reached him, he put up a stiff fight
which threatened to drown them all.
Finally he was subdued and brought
to Burlington with his brothers, where
the trio were placed in jail
They were all before Judge Harlan
B. Howe, who was holding court in
Burlington Thursday morning. All
plead guilty and were fined as
follows: Walter Larose, $1,000;
Frank and John, his brothers, each
$3.50 and costs.
The car was condemned and order
ed sold and the booze destroyed.
This is a record, as the rum run
ners were arrested, tried, convicted
and sentenced, all within "a hours.
Walter Larose was brought into
court in shackles and was evidently
regarded as a very dangerous man.
The parties had no money with
which to pay their fines and were
taken back to jail.
