In evening dress.
Worthington Adams saw the little old
lady and took pity on her. He moved
to where she stood
Looking for some one?" he asked
courteously.
The old woman looked up at him
and smiled in a motherly way. She
touched him lightly on the arm.
Sammy. I'm looking for my Sam
my" she said. HE wrote he was COM
ing here tonight"
Adams was president of the junior
class and one OF the campus leaders.
The eyes of the entire party were on
him as he stood talking to the little
woman.
I'm, sure don't know who you
mean by Sammy" he said. IF you'll
find him for you"
Sure Sammy Smothers. He's a
college boy like yourself" she replied.
''Been here two years. Thought every
body would know him. Folks at the
Bend always told of how everybody
got to know him so easy"
I'm sorry. but 1 don't remember
him." apologized Adams But If you'll
be seated I'll send freshman to find
him" He led her to a little rest room.
The little woman looked hurt at the
last statement.
st don't see why you don't know
Sammy" she said why. the dean and
all the professors know him by the
first name. But perhaps you haven't
been here long?" she added.
Adams called a freshman into the
room and set him to look for Smoth-
erS. The fresh Scowled and walked out,
appearing to resent the orders from
an upper classman. He winked at Adams
as he left, attempting to appear amused
at the little woman.
"You see, my Sammy never had a
chance before he come to this college"
she said That's why he has done such
wonderful things here. Why, he was
president of the class last year, elected
by an almost unanimous vote. And the
dean told him that he was one of the
smartest boys they had ever had here.
Don't you think have a right to be
proud of my Sammy" she asked. "All
the folks at the Bend tell me as how
] ought to be proud of him"
Adams looked again at the little old
woman. He liked her for her frankness.
He even thrilled at the slight touch of
her hand on his arm. Here was some
thing that he had missed in life-a
mother whose one reason for living
was her son, confidence in him that
was overshadowed by nothing. He
smiled slightly as he replied:
"Yes, Mrs. Smothers. you have" The
little old lady touched his arm again,
and looked into his eyes with frank
confidence.
Sammy is a writer, too" she said.
"Some day, folks say, he will be famous.
Why, he wrote me that Prof. Bentley
said that his work was the best he had
ever had from any student in his whole
college career" She waited for some
word of praise from Adams.
The campus leader looked again at
the little old woman. He allowed his
hand to touch her on the shoulder and
wondered why he had never heard OF

with a new determination. Adams no.

A plan by which car owners may buy necessary forms Of insufaii or Q monthly payment plan, similar to that on which millions of people buy theH cars, homes, and other conveniehees' has just been announced by the largest multiple-line insurance company ana is now being offered to the automobi- ists of Putnam ard vicinity by James T. Charron at the Victory Theatre Building.
 "The policies" says Mr. eharroni "are identical with those sold Tor an nual premiums. They are issued Tor year and monthly payments wiii run for two to six months. depending on the size of the car and the forms oi insurance needed The policies will be issued for standard rates and charge of 25 cents will be added to each in- stalment.
 "Under present conditions of traffic. v Mr. Charron points out, mo one can afford Co take his car out of garage unless he has arranged for the protec- ton of liability and property damage insurance. at least. A man never knows when he is going to meet with an accident; never knows when he Is going to have a lawsuit for damages, even though he may not have been the driver at fault And auto damage suits are for big amounts these days.
 'It's a wonderful thing to be able to refer the claimants Co the capable rep resentatives of big insurance com pnny and know that the company will not only handle the matter but pay whatever should be paid, including costs.
 sIf the man insures in the company offering this protection on the install ment payment plan, The Travellers oi Hartford. Connecticut. he feels easy no matter where he drives because The Travellers has service offices through out the United States and Canada.
 "The new instalmcnt payment plan, says Mir. Charron, applies to four important kinds of insurance;

Clears your name if you were not re- sponsible; settles the claim amicably, out of court. whenever possible; acts in your defense. if fraudulent, exag- gerated, or unjust claim makes court action imperative; pays court costs and legal fees; pays the award. if one Is rendered. up to the limits of your pol icy: protects up to the limits of your policy everything you own against be- ing seized. sold. or attached to satisfy a damage judgment arising out of an automobile accident;
 Collision, which pays for the dam age that your ear sustains in col lision.

 Many Putnam people will probably take advantage of this convenient pay ment plan.
 Mir. Charron will be glad to quote rates and explain the insurance at his office in the Victory Building, Main street, or at some place you designate if you will phone 74i-5.--Adv.

 Guards Drill Pieases
 An outstanding feature of the pro- gram was the drill by the young ladies of Jean D'Are. Their maneuvers con sisted of some forty figures. each one executed with precision and without an error or misstep. The young ladies were wearing their new nattv uni forms of black and white. and were explained by Miss Estelle Beaudreault. This drill team has won at least eight prize cups in competition with guards in Worcester, Fall River. New Bedford, Woonsocket, and other places, and is recognized as one of the most perfectly drilled guards in New England
 The president general, in his ad- dress, took time to say that although he has officiated in many cities in New England and has watched many guards drill, the young ladies Of Guard Jean D'Arc surpassed in excellence anything that he had before seen. The audience also showed its delight and apprecia- tion as the guards went through the evolutions with continual outbursts of applause.
 Another pleasing feature of the ex- ercises was the presentation Of a beautiful floor lamp Go Miss Aldea Dufault, president of the women's council. and n fine fountain pen and gold neneil Co Judge Henry N. Benoit. president of the mems council

 Fifth Murder
 The murder of Jackson is the fifth murder in the county in the past three Policeman Nelson at Pomfret last year.
 The only conceivable motive for the murder Is revenge. The officers are working on this theory as it is known that during his work in running down criminals Jackson has made enemies. He has often received threatening com munications. In Worcester it was said. Wednesday morning, that no rf- quest for help in solving the mystery had been received Two prominent officials of the Worcester police de- partment are credited with the state ment that they do not believe the murder of Jackson had any connec- ton with the conviction of Raymond and Lalone, the slayers of Ofica ar Nelson, in which Jackson took q prominent part.
 Jackson was born in Lebanon, Nov ember 1. 1865. He went to Willi- mantle when a boy. He served in the Spanish American War and was friend of the late President Roose. welt In his early years he was a boxer. He at one time met Jack London and, until the authors death. the friendship was maintained,
 Forms Close Friendships
 After the Spanish-American War Jackson was elected constable and city sheriff of Willimantie. He then went to work for the Erie railroad as a detective. returning to Miliman- tic in i909. He was one of the origin. al members of tn estate police force but resigned Co become investigator for the states attorneys office of New London county. In 1928 he re- signed this position and became in vestigator for Windham county. A lasting and close friendship sprung up between Jackson and the late Charles E. Searls, for many years states attorney.
 Mir. Jackson took an active inter- est in the affairs of this city and serv- ed in the common council several terms He was still in office at the time of his death
 Jackson is survived by his wife and daughter. his mother. three brothers and three sisters, one of whom is Mrs. Margaret Cady of Woodstock. A son died less than a year ago. This was a great blow to Mir. Jackson and one that he had never entirely gotten over.
