TO BE OPENED IN THE EVENT or MY DEATH
Ralph Haueners. MD,

Jenksville, Mass.
My dear Carl:
have decided to carry certain facts with
me to the grave unless circumstances con-
vince me of the advisability of revealing them.
But it has occurred to me that those cir
cumstances might arise after my death and
that those facts should therefore be in the
possession of somebody else with discre-
tionary power to use them.
Possibly you followed the hearings in
connection with the hammer Staying of
Elizabeth Perry Watts, whose husband, Tom
Watts, was for long time under suspicion.
But the police we're never able to establish

night Also. no motive was found sufficiently
strong to indicate murder.

sixteenth year, when her father died, leaving
her the house on Larch Street and the care of
Franklin, then boy of ten. That duty she
faithfully discharged, renting out rooms,
. taking in boarders and giving the boy
mothers care. Franklin worked his way
through school in order to tighten the burden
on Elizabeth. And although advised against
it, he prepared himself for medical school
because Elizabeth had set her heart on it.
The bond between them was very strong -
and was inclined to feel - unfortunate one
for Franklin.

years when Elizabeth believed he was pursu-
ing his medical studies in my library. But he
was spending little time among my books.
Jeanie Pearson, my wife's niece was living

childhood in a m-orphanage. She was shy,
grave little girl, who did not seem to make
friends with other young people. l was
pleased when she and Franklin found things
in common and the haunted look began to
leave her eyes. They we're such babes in the
woods and so in love that could not refuse
to help them. broke the news of their mar
riage to Elizabeth, who was always little
afraid of me.
Franklin at once dropped medical school
and found himself job in the bank, for
which he was better suited. Jeanies very
youth and helplessness seemed to bring out
all the latent manhood in the boy. And felt
that in time she would be able to break
Elzabeth's hold over him. advised them to

trouble with her mortgage and her roomers

or of Tom Watts or of any of us. What am

Towards morning he suddenly stopped
pacing the floor. "I'm going to find baby for
Jeanie," he said. There must be babies that
people don't want"
That was when called you and you told
me about a baby just born. And we drove out
to Jenksville and we carried it back and put
it in Jeanie's arms. And nobody knew that it

Elizabeth was not. learned from Tom

fine, lusty little fellow. Jeanie still looked
delicate but it was a new Jeanie - proud,

giving the program scheduled
for Wednesday evening and postponed
because Of rain. The audience was
lacking in numbers. but made up for
that lack in its enthusiasm for the
music. DR.. Sokoloff, who was con-

some years, chose a program of much
beauty opening with the overture to

first half of the program and DR..
Sokolof let none of the beauty or

There was a lack of volume through
the symphony and a distinct thinness

part of the program which was over

concert, but the cellos and winds
in their work, made up for any lack

after the intermission he stopped to

Nocturne," which he did very we'll.
The composition is one of beauty and
richness of orchestration, and the
playing of it last evening had a
spiritual quality as well as dramatic.
