And while on rural topics let us speak of the famous West Hartland rooster that has become hitch-h -hiker. It's taken up this pastime early in life. Just six months old this rooster jumped onto the ehassis beam of truck recently and travelled eight miles to Robertsville before being discov- cred safe and sound on its perch. It was returned to its owner via the cab of the truck.

 He turned. "Ah, Venice, U is you. Come and sit down."
 He moved over and she settled on the brocaded seat beside him
 You're sad" she said. What is it, Rene? Can I help you?"
 Not sad. Serious this evening. Will you do me the honor to marry me, Venice?"
 She had never felt so painfully embarrassed in her life. His tone was ineXplicable; desperate, soft, gentle yet devoid of any passion whatsoever. She was anxious to know whether her answer would hurt him or not. She remembered his desire for American money and yet there was something pregnant with meaning in his face. Was it feeling for her? Or that letter? Were they connected? Perhaps his apparent distress during dinner

Chapter 24 A WINDOW Ov-~. THE SEA

WlNDOW ON ~ HE oLh
 Venice had one serious discussion with Rene about Rosemary. They sat on the grass outside the villa one golden afternoon watching the sea and, hatless, letting an imper- tinent little breeze play with their hair.
 She's the best-natured girl l ever met" said Venice.
 Rene shrugged and raised his hands with a delicate kind of hor- TOT.
 But no grace, no aplomb."
 But such sense of humor."
 50 has a fishmonger."
 That's unkind, Rene. And she likes you"
 50 does the femme de chem bre."
 But the femme de chambre is not eligible"
 Neither is Rosemary
 What do you mean? Shes sin gle and jolly and rich. What more do you want, Rene?"
 Charm"
 Charm won't comfort you when you're i'll or fill your lonely hours. :" Why was she taking such pains over Rosemary's future, Venice won- dered. Because she liked her, of course. and because obviously Rose mady was bovine enough to fit into any marriage of convenience. And as far as Rene was concerned sure ly one match for money was as good as another.
 'fC'est vrai," he admitted. But charm is a what do you say-a stop gap for the hours of monot- ony that marriage is sure to bring"
 Venice sighed. This was proving difficult.
 T think you're stupid" she pro- tested. You would love to have money and here it is for you on silver platter"
 No" said Rene. Tt is only a pudgy hand. I do not like fat"
 He shuddered with real aversion.
 Venice rose and brushed the grass from her skirt ''Of course I've been impertinent. It's none of my business, anyway"
 Don't go" He caught her hand and tried to detain her T want to tell you something, Venice
 "Is it nice?"
 Very"
 Then save it, please, Rene. l promised Mrs Coates I'd be ready at four to drive to St. Jean with her"
 Somewhat sullenly he followed her to the villa. Mrs. Coates was sitting in the Rolls impatiently. This was impossible. Venice with Rene all afternoon, Rosemary up- stairs asleep, she slept too much, anyway, and Guy writing letters.
 I'm sorry" Venice cried, ito have kept you waiting. It was love- ly in the sum-"
 "It was divine" said Rene.
 Mrs. Coates looked disgusted.
 Do you want to come with us?" she asked.
 Please"
 The thre of them drove to St. Jean -de-Luz When they returned to the villa there was letter on the hall table for Rene. He took it with noticeable eagerness and dis appeared. Later at dinner he was quite silent and ate little. Venice watching him wondered who the Iletter was from and what news it could have held Rene's face was strained and there were shadows under his eyes as though he had suffered in the last hour. She no- ticed that Guy watched him, too She had heard the two men talking after Rene had gone upstairs with the letter and she surmised that Guy knew what it contained
 There were no plans for the eve ming and Guy, Rosemary and Mrs Coates went out on the veranda With their going Venice looked about for Rene He mustn't be Jeff alone with his stricken look in his eyes. She went slowly upstairs, de ter1nined to knock at his door anc ask him to join the others. Il |

WELTERS BATTLE
IN RUBBER SCRAP
Crowd Divided Over Outcome
of McLarnin- PetrolIe
Bout Tonight.
BY the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
" YEw YORK. August 20.-It's the
rubber battle between Billy
Petrolle the veteran scrapper
from Fargo, N. Oak, and
Jimmy McLarnin, the Vancouver young
ster. at the Yankee Stadium tonight
Petrolle, who thought he had had
enough Of the ring year or so ago.
came out Of retirement and gave Jimmy
one of the worst beatings Of his career
Then McLarnin turned around and
polished off Billy in a return bout.
Tonight, in their third meeting within
year, they hope to settle the argu-
ment. The bout is over the 10-round
route and is scheduled to go on about
pm, Eastern standard time.
A good sized gathering of fans is
expected to turn out tonight. Both
fighters are crowd pleasers," both have
good followings and neither hes been
able to establish himself as a popular
favorite. McIarnin is expected to have
about q 4-pound pull in the weights,
coming in at IA, but Petrolle's recent
knockout triumph over Justo Suarez
the Argentine lightweight star, has
made him an even money choice.
Only one thing weighs against the
meeting as a gate attraction, That is
that McIarnin has at times seemed
to be bit overcautious in meeting a
dangerous opponent in a return bout.
His second scrap with Petrolle was a
carefully planned boxing contest instead
of the wild leather-slinging melee that
came out Of their first melting. Jimmy
fought much the same way a few years
ago in a return fight with Ray Miller
after losing an exciting setto and turned
in the dullest victory on his record.
