THESE despondent moods came
only when she was excessively
tired when she had punished her
self with long, relentless hours
practicing shorthand or tipping.
Usually, there ran through all her
thoughts a young, robust confi-
dence. Things would turn out.

She would be released; all the

hood returned. Weil-of course,
this would happen. Twenty-one

Toward the end Of the second

received final blow. It came
in the usual acrimonious letter
Plenteous Weeps
Your husband called today and
went up to mammals room. I
followed. I sat myself there.
He tried to stare me out of
countenance and, failing, said:
Mother McNeil-in that voice of
his-I'd like to talk with you
alone. May I?
Ma gives me the dignified nod
to blow myself out. 1t made me
pretty furious, so told him:
Mothers not well. Kindly don't

When he came out / said cor
daily: HAS your wife fully
recovered from the smash-up?

had arrived. He came right up
to me with crouching animal
look. He snarled in my teeth:

Such Ideas
Alice! A single girl to entertain
such ideas! It was Ben's sister.
I'm ashamed of you. Now l want
you to write to Sandy and tell her
that her husband will fight any
effort on her part to put aside her
vows. Divorce viii not permit

Mrs. Margaret Allan, an early resi-

Mrs. Allan was SO years of age. She

his wife and family moved to Greal
Falls.
Since Mr.. Allan'e death in 1901,
Mrs. Allan has devoted her life 70

N. H. Browning returned yesterday
from a months visit in his old home
on the st. Croix river between Mains
and New Brunswick. That is he left
here a month ago and spent weel
going and ten days on the return
trip for he stopped off at the Ford
works in Detroit where he spent three
days.
His first visit to his boyh0od homo
for eighteen years and he surely en-
joyed it. He says that he did not
notice the big storm reported last
week when 50 many sea going yes
sells were wrecked because of the fact
that it stormed all the time and the
ocean is only a stones throw from
the door. He reports snow three feet
deep in the open and four feet in the
timber. He brought home among
other things some seaweed and kelp.
He travelled through New York state
but returned by the C. P. R. R. to
Detroit.

more about that country you win have
to ask Nick because he is more in
in telling what Henry Ford
is doing.

to this:
The city owes $26,777.7s and has on

of s1s,14S.52.
The Improvements districts owe fol

which leaves a net indebtedness 81
$S66O7.70 which owners of property in

The general indebtedness Of the city
has decreased 40 per cent in four
years which shows first that war
time prices and necessities are no
longer with US and that the city ad-
ministration has done its duty.
Figuring the improvement districts
in the same way we find that there
has been a corresponding reduction in
