VIOLENCE Of RAIN
and WIND STORM
WRECKS HAVOC HERE

Following upon the earthquake scarce
OF early morning. leaden and overcast
skies most Of Tuesday presaged a
storm OF unusual intensity. which
broke over the city shortly after 8
o'clock Tuesday evening, causing dam
age to telephone and electric wires
which kept the emergency crews busy
most OF the night repairing the breaks
and restoring the conditions to normal
During the daylight hours Of yester-
day stiff wind blowing from the
southwest whipped the water in the
Kennebec river into whitecaps and
made it more or less interesting for
pedestrians crossing the bridge.
The downpour of rain last evening
was heralded by a sprinkling of large
drops and then the flood gates were
raised and the torrents poured down
In full volume. The city streets were
running rivulets as the rain fell too
fast for the catchbasins to carry away
and on the dirt roads in the outlying
sections some damage was caused by
washouts and Outlying.
A wind of high velocity accompanied
the rain and in many sections Of the
city trees were blown down across
light and communication wires. and for
time part of the city and the entire
darkness. Trees pulled the wires down
on West Crescent, East Chestnut,
Bridge and Grove streets in the city,
and similar difficulties were expert
enced at Pettingilfs Corner and the
Insane Hospital.
With the debris across the wires in
other sections of the city, short cir
cults resulted and the fire alarm was
sounded several blasts at disconnected
intervals. The line crews of the Cen
trail Maine Power Co. did valiant serv-
ice in tracing out the several scenes Of
trouble and Strengthening out the tan
gled network of broken and sagging
wires due to the rain and wind.
During the comparatively short
space OF time when the storm was at
Its height the conditions resembled
those of the traditional line gales. The
greater volume of the rainfall was over
by 1880, and with the cessation Of the
rain the wind also died down.

Hearts of T,co
CHAPTER iss

George was probably in love with somebody else by now. Indeed, Merian had heard rumors to that effect. He had acknowledged to her, as to \ q trusted friend, that "a peach of a girl, was visiting in Fairtown, whom he was rushing" Marian hoped the girl was good enough for him. He was not clever, but he was a loyal friend. The dancing outside stopped. The orchestra was silent. Marian stood mp with a swift intaking of breath. It was time for her to appear. Catching up her little mask she slipped it on, ran her fingers through her fluffy blonde wig and shook the wrinkles out of her bouffant skirts.
 There was tap on the door.
 Ready, madenoiselle? De Lisle asked.
 The orchestra was, playing the pre- Jude to the new dance as she opened the door. Her employer stood await ing her in the Pierrot costume.
 T am ready she said, putting her cold hand in his.
 As he felt the chill of her fingers he looked at her keenly. ~A Not nervous, are you?' he demand ed. Think how we'll our dance went off this afternoon"
 "Yes. I know it did. No, am not exactly nervous. But--there are such a lot of people here 1"
 Yes" with chuckIe of gratifica- tion. My salon is fuller than usual. I advertised that a new dance would be given tonight"
 "Oh! did not know you had done thatr' Marian gasped
 Perhaps that was why Georgie was here.
 .Comew the. proprietor said brusquely..
 Following him, she stepped out, into the brilliantly lighted restaurant.
 For a moment the pair--the man dressed as Pierrot and the girl as Go lumhine--stood, side by side before ad. vancing to the, cleared space in the center of the room.
 In that moment Marian's eyes swept the salon, She had confused impres. sion of crowded tables, of two men near her audibIy ordering hiIgh balls. Back in the siss iSs9 of the main entrance she saw a tall figure that looked familiar | It wore great coat with the turned collar coneealing the lower part of the face. Two men stood near this man Surely one of them looked like
 Then DeLisle led her to the dancing space and the orchestra blared forth the swinging dance music.

New Disease Takes Heavy
Toll Among Cottontails

New YOrk.-A new disease that Is
taking a heavy toll among cottontau
rabbits has made its appearance in the
western part of the state, reports the
conservation commission, Inspector
Bracket of the Western division re-
ports that dozens of dead cottontaiIs
have been found by protectors. The
rabbits were found apparently asleep
in a natural position under a bush, but
on trying to poke them out they were
found to be dead.
on disSecting a number of these
rabbits Game Protector HirSch found
long, thin worms, very much like a
tapeworm, but with a hard bony head,
In their intestines. In nearly every
case this worm had bored through the
walls of the intestines, causing death.
The situation was most acute in Cat
taraugus county, and a number of conn
plants came in from different sports
men who found these conditions In
the opinion Of Inspector Bracket there
is no doubt that this disease caused a
marked decrease in the numbers Of
rabbits taken there this fall.

Beggar for Many Years,
Now Refuses to Quit

New York.-His shabby figure cring-
ing before the bench in the Seventh
district night court, while Magistrate
Goodman labeled him a parasite on
society who has fawned and preyed
on others since the day he first reached
the country's shores, Sam Shapiro,
forty-three, a beggar, who has made
his profession more lucrative than
some others of a more dignified ma
ture, presented a problem as old as
society itself.
I'm not going to send you to the
island if I can help it," said the mag
istrate, ''to have the city support you
a few days more. I'm going to fine
you $50"
Shapiro said he did not have the
money, and refused to send for any;
he won his point and the privilege Of
staying ten days in jail-at public ex-
pense.
Seventeen years ago he stepped
from the steerage compartment of a
ship from Russia, hungry and penni-
less. Five minutes later, near the
wharveS, he begged his first nickel on
American soil. He didn't stop to get
something to eat with the first coin,
though he was hungry, but kept on
his way toward city hall and the GEN.
ter of things, supplicating passersby
at every step.

out any just cause or reason abandoned and
deserted him and has declared her intention

yond any reasonable expectation of recon-
