alone after my fathers death, said Mrs. Root, ''and things kept going from bad to worse. and then Mr. Root came into my life. Here in this very room he eourted me. and twenty-one years ago we were married.
 Just after our marriage we raised a mortgage of about s450 on the place In order to get a ff ssh start, and for few years we were able to meet the interest and payments when they came due. Then Mr. Roots health as well as his eyeaght began to fail and we found 1t a struggle to make both ends meet. We could not pay the interest on the mortgage and it has now in- creased to more than $500.
 Foreelosed Mortgage
 'sThe man who holds the mortgage was obliged to foreelose few weeks ago in order to protect himself, as we could not pay the insurance on the house and we faced the prospect of spending the rest of our lives at the poorfarm at Wiliiston.
 Al the mention of his name Mi. Root hnd risen slowly from the old sofa on which he had been dozing, and as he groped his way to chair by the fire he made pathetic picture.
 With his full white beard. his long snowy locks curling out from under q greasy cap, his eare-wrinkled fore head, and bushy eyebrows that almost I obscured his blue eyes. he reminded { one of the figures of the patriarchs of old

 Noble Root
 He was we'll named
 Born in Charlotte Vt, 74 years ago, l he went to Connecticut as a boy and found work on farm He was hoe ing one day when the implement struck stone and piece was clipped off that flew into one of his eyes, destroying the sight of one of his eyes almost instantly. Because of this defect of vision he was unable te enlist for service in the Civil War even as drummer boy. so he continued to work on a farm.
 Los, Sigh.
 At twenty=one he had a farm of his own and was doing nicely until about thirty years ago when he was poisoned. The poison got into his good eye. caused an ulcer on the op tie nerve, and for two years he was unable to see at all.
 An operation partially restored the sight to that eye. and then his first wife died The expense of his opera tion and his wfe's illness and death ate up his savings, and having been forced to give up his farm he went to shelburne, Vt.
