The man. stood smiling throughout the pro ecedings in the superior court. Tues day morning. which resulted in his being sentenced to not less than three nor more than five years in states prison. Still smiling the Rev. Long was led away.
 Long was in Paine's employ and noted that his employer had several savings bank books. He learned where they were kept. Long's meth cd was to take one of the pass books and write out an order something as follow: Please pay to Ralph s. Long Ga certain amount of moneyl put in envelope. seal and return to me"
 Forged Signature
 Long would forge his employers signature to these orders. He was successful in getting money out of four different banks. He withdrew sl50 from bank in New London, S550 from a bank in Providence, si50 from the Killingly Trust Com pany and $500 from the Brooklyn Savings Bank. All except the Brook lyn bank paid in cash This bank gave Long cashiers check made out to Paine whose name Long im- mediately forged and received the cash.
 Having obtained Sl,4O0 in this manner Long left for his former home in Allentown, Pa. Here he bought a store and an automobile. This aroused the suspicious of Longs brother, who knew that Long had mulcted his fathers estate by fraud ulent means. The brother commun- icated with Mir. Paine and the thefts became known. Long was arrested in Allentown. He did not fight ex- tradition.
 When the states attorney had fin ished making his statement of the case Public Defender Back said that there was nothing that he could say exeep; sha; his client never had aH education beyond the fifth grade and it seemed strange how he could have done what he did

He tele- phoned the alarm and soon a crowd gathered The Putnam fire depart ment was appealed to for help. Chief Alphonse Dumas and a number of firemen went to the scene of the fire in the chiefs car. There was little that they could do although they took hand In fire fighting apparatus. The loss estimated as high as SS.000 was partially covered by insurance.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax
EAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
AS / have read your advice
regarding others. I ann quite
sure you will solve this problem
for me.
A relative of mine, a native
OF Europe, is here on business
and plans to return within a
Few weeks at which time he in
tends taking me back as his
wife. The reason / am writing
asking for your advice, is that
ne Is almost twice my age and
also cousin. I truly do love
him, although I realize the seri-
BUSINESS of this because of the
difference in our ages. This is
a drawback on my part. My
mother objects for these two
reasons, plus the distance-so
far from home. Do you think it
wise for me to go with him.
S. N.
Medical authorities agree that
the marriage of cousins is harm
full to the children of the mar
riage only when there are fam
lily diseases or weaknesses that
might be inherited, for these
defects would be emphasized in
the children Of such a union.
Your family physician could
doubtless tell you whether in
your case marriage to your
cousin would be unwise from
a medical standpoint.
The question of ages is also
serious, for he belongs to an
other generation. Ask yourself
whether your mutual love and
trust are great enough to over
come the obstacle of difference
of ages, and find definitely
whether in your case marriage
of cousins would be permissi-
BILE. Think long and we'll be-
fore you marry him.
