ENGLISH CHRISTMAS
 SPIRIT RUNS HIGH
More Sincere Than in U. g.,
 Mrs. Harry Mount Says

Ye good old Christmas spirit in England is far superior to that in this country in dt pth of feeling and duration according to Mrs. Harry Mount of Hart street this city, who Saturday wilt G lebratc her And year of married life. Mir. and Mrs. Harry Mount bo,h of English origin, were married in Sheffield. England. Dec. 2S, 1887. end coming to this country shortly after their maria ge settled in New Britain where they have lived for the past g years.
 There seems to be moro sin cerity and more friendship exhibited in Christmas week in England then in this country" stated Mrs. Mount reminiscently. 'Jn the week be- tween Christmas and New Years one can have more fun than in an entire year here" she added. Rela- tives consider this time an oppor- tunity to visit those whom they have not seen during the year.
 Christmas eve is a time when the sick, the poor and the lonely are cheered by carols and songs. House to house parties are made up and where it is known sick person lives carols are sung, but very Quietly,' she added. The old tradi- tions of Santa Claus and Christmas trees are religiously kept and on Christmas eve "a line is hung along the hearth and from it dangle stock ings of all sizes"
 The wedding anniversary on Sat urday as well as Christmas day will be celebrated by the couple with the entire family present, at dinner party at their home on Hart street Mir. and Mrs. H. Mount have five children, Mrs. William IT, Day of Stratford, Mrs. Henry W. Briere, Harold H. and Raymond Mount, all of this city. and Percy Mount of West Hartford

SIGN OF THE AKRON

Totally unconscious of the passing time. Peggy Prescott remained in the living room after Sheriff Beach's departure.
 Stunned by the statement that Edgar Stanton had been killed 3Y a .35 caliber bullet fired from al automatic pistol with the brand of the L. s. navy upon it, and stag gered and confused by her earlier discovery that Jim was in fact Jam ieson Sinclair. q commander in the navy, she had sat staring into va canCY, the gathering shadows of the closing day no darker than her churning thoughts.
 Sheriff Bcach's information made 1t clear that she had not killed stanton; therefore, there was no blood guilt upon her soul. But peace of mind did not come with the consciousness that she had hcan the innocent victim of another's crime Was not that other Jim?
 Intense by nature, loyal in every fiber of her being, the realization that her trust was misplaced, ncr love bestowed upon a man un- worthy. scared like a white-hot brand. Peggy bowed her head and scaldng tears trickled through her fingers. The storm passed and she grew calmer.
 .., Gathering herself together, Peggy strove to reason out the situation. There was motive enough for the crime; 8 brothers hatred of the man who had ruthlessly wrecked his sisters home, the man who had first betrayed, then forsaken her.
 He might have had access to Yew Lodge; perhaps her uncle had supplied him with a key, or Obadiah Evans might have had one; what more likely when he and his step son were her uncle's nearest neigh bors and on friendly, if not in timate, terms with the owner of Yew Lodge.
 Peggy drew in her breath sharp ly. How Jim had contrived an entrance into Gow Lodge was a de- tail for further Investigation. Tho fact remained that he had entered in time to shoot Edgar stanton AS the latter crept through the front door; fleeing, he had returned later with Obadiah Evans and sheriff Reach. Seeing her automatic pistol on the floor, Jim had pOckctod if by mistake for his own. That he had found il some hours later in Sis oyercoat pocket vas a curious trich of fate. By such narrow margins were criminals detected.
 Bnt, oh, that Jim had sheltered himself behind her, and let the odium of sniIr rest Uron her. Never doubting that shu had shot Edgar stanton fatally. Peggy had pro claimed that fact in Jm's proa- encc. Obadiah Evans had asurcd her she would bv charged onT with "NeusIblc homicide.

Jims protcs+atlon ot love but q blind? Was it but another trick 10 safeguard his own life? He had sus- gestcd that they face the trial-- her trial-as man and wife. Was it rot written in common-law that a wife could not testify against her husband?
 Peggy arose; 10 remain still any longer was impossible. Twice she paced up and down the living room and the third time. on reaching the door to the veranda, sine paused and looked across the room.
 From that vantage point Jim must have crouched waiting for his victim. A switch, near that door controlled the electric lights both il the living room and the floor above.
 She recalled that the lights had died out just as she put out her hand to switch them off. In the confusion following Stantons death, she had forgotten the incident. Evi- dently she and Jim had fired simul- taneously, for she had heard but the single explosion.
 A thought occurred to her and she moved into the center of the room. Sheriff Beach had stated that only one bullet lad been found in Stanton's body and that he had no other wound. Where, then, had the bullet from her re- yolver gone.
 She ran up the staircase anl took up a position on the spot where she had stood that night, watching stanton creep into the pointing her pistol toward him, this time empty handed.
 Keeping her eyes in the direc- tion of her pointed finger, she went down the staircase and across to the opposite wall. A bridge lamp stood near it, and she pulled it closer, turning on the light.
 The living room was paneled .n oak and the dark wall absorbed the light. Going over to her uncle $ desk, she took up her torch an ] with it's aid, examined the panel, running her fingers up and down the carved woodwork. An. there was the bullet, embedded in one Of the scroll-like patterns, and in- visible to the casual glance.
 In the gallery above, a figure crouched looking through the rail- ing at the deeply absorbed girl. Not q movement on her part escaped the watchers attention. Oblivious Of the eyes above her, Peggy low cred her torch, preparatory to put ting it out. then hesitated with her finger on the switch.
 Under the bright ray of light she saw a small black arrow, delicntcly carved and cleverly fashioned, so that it blended perfectly into the pattern of the carving.
 If the black arrow had been the famed Medusa's head, it could not have held d more deadly fascinl- tion for Peggy, banishing, for the moment, all else from her mind So imbued had she become with the thought that the arrow WAS only in the Bible. it had never en. tered her head to look elsewhere for inc symbol she had grown to associate with the mystery sur rounding her specified stay at Few Lodge.
 Was she seeing aright? Was she dreaming Peggy touched the ar- row, pressed it hard. vet harder; if she felt pain in her finger from the compression ot the sensitive flesh she must be awake. One more push. carrying behind it the weight Of her body, and she pitched for ward as the oak panel reyolved on hidden springs. disclosing an open ing large enough for man to stand upright.

WE NEED A NEW COURT HOUSE

Despite the efforts of contemporary in Plenty

by long line of sarcasm, are still strong for
court house to take the place of the old shack

erecting substantial edfices.
Fifteen years have passed since Sheridan county
formed and still it has home for its official

the most prosperous counties of the state.
Just think if a court house had been built at that
tmeit would have been practically paid for by this
time and The taxpayer wout har y have known
felt the slight additional :ax.z he would have had
to pay.
Now, after Fifteen years oc paying rent, We still
have no court house and the present building may
some day collapse.
1t is certainty that day Sheridan county will
have to build court house. That is fact that cannot
be gotten away from. So why not build it now and
enjoy its and beauty while we are here besides
retaining the self respect which always goes with in
