she had prepared food for herself
and sat down and looked at 1t.
She wondered at those mysterious
physical activities, probably gov
erned by the endocrine glands,
which are the reactions to violent
emotions. What, really, was going
on in her body? Was it sort Of
shell shock? Was it destroying her
health and strength and youth? She
could not bear to look at the face
that peered back at her from the
mirror.
In the timber of number sixteen
the dogs appeared again, madly
chasing a rabbit. Up here the shad-
ed depressions amongst the trees
held snow left from a recent storm.
The rabbit was in the snow, strug-
Cling toward a pile of rocks and

Historically.
Nell drew rein and watched the
chase, quieted by feeling of fatal
ism. What chance did the rabbit
have2 It was like her mind-dou-
bling and lodging, trying to find a
hole in which to hide, or a path Of
escape, but cornered every time.
The rabbit doubled on its tracks
and Kim, who always went too fast,
shot past it. The rabbit was strug-
Cling to reach the rocks. No doubt
he had safe hideaway underneath
them. Would he make it? Kim was
almost upon him, and again the rab-
bit turned and lodged, and again
Kim shot past and had to brake and
turn and in those few seconds the
rabbit reached his haven. But ah-
Chaps was there too. The canny
black cocker emerged from ambush
at the last moment and seized his
prey.
And then the kill. The tiny squeals
Of the rabbit-the sharp nosings of
the dogs-the sudden jerks Of their
heads and snappings Of their Jaws.
No blame to them, thought Nell,
as she galloped toward them and
called to them to stand back. Wag-
ging their tails proudly they stood
off and looked UP at her. They were
painting, and their long red tongues
hung, dripping, out Of the sides Of
their mouths.
Nell picked up the big jack-it
must have weighed six pounds-and
asked Gypsy's consent to hang it
on the saddle. Gypsy pricked her
ears and drew in her chin, snorting.
Nell offered it to her to smell. Gypsy
shifted the rabbit gingerly, and after
that, permitted Nell to fasten it to
the saddle.
The dogs watched her, well salts
fed. They knew that later, when
Gus skinned it, they would get their
share.
The hunt and the killing of the
rabbit had added to Nell's depres-
sion. She could not bear to 60 home.

Reveal Opening Of Glass
Factory Here in 1885

Establishment OF one OF the
Middlewest's first glass factories
ago by a noted local resident
who also was instrumental IN
reviving Masonic work IN this
state after MasonS were pro-
scribed, was recently revealed
/ in an interesting paper read be-
lore the Garden Club by Mrs,
Lewis Parrot.
The necessarily brief sketch OF
the subject made by Mrs. Par
rott produced such widespread
interest among Mount Clemens
historians, that The Monitor
Leader, with ethe assistance OF
the original narrator. has en-
larged the scope of the story and
added features not fully devel-
oped before the Garden Club, IN
GLIDING the following historical
facts:
That land for the new glass
factory was purchased directly
from Christian Clemens for 500,
and his recorded deed is (to the
modern eye) a model OF vague
ness typical of the first Macomb
County land abstracts;
That the Mount Clemens glass
factory founder had much to do
with promoting this new indus
try in Massachusetts. Connecti-
cut and New Hampshire;
That the same man, a .practls-
ing physician, built the second
brick house in Mount Clemens
III 1885, and Il is still standing
and occupied on East Broadway
East street,;
That Masonry in Michigan
! banned for more than decade
was revived at a grand lodge
convention held in the +
Broadway house in 1910, and the
moving spirit of the daring ven
ture, the glass factory expert
menter, became Grand Master
of the Grand Lodge and an his
torical figure in masonry, and

DR.. Halls original interest in
glassmaking was first reported
in 1909 from Warwick, Mass,
the record being taken from an
historical sketch in the New
Hampshire Sentinel Of Nov. 10,
1889.
The old fashioned newspaper
story relates DR.. Halls interest
in a peddler from Hartford who
came to Warwick selling So
called Hartford bottles. DR.. Hall
asked why Hartford did not
make window glass, and the
agent explained that the crafts
men did not know how to take
the green color out.

in Harlem at forum and mass
meeting to be held on Friday (Act. |

Honorably discharged from the |

won in another war-the war to
abolish segregation in the armed
forces.
He is the man who was the CEN
trail figure in the famous Lynn
Case, the most important legal bat
tie to challenge segregation in the
armed forces. Through all the years
of war, his name was rallying cry
and his case was a focal point in the
struggle to end the shameful preju-
dices and discriminatory measures
used against the Negro in our army
and navy
AS is we'll known, his case gave
rise to the formation of the Lynn
Committee to Abolish Segregation
welcome awaits Winifred Lynn

committee and the Schomburg Col

A huge crowd is.expected to be on
hand to welcome Lynn home and to
hear his story from his own lips
for the first time. He will speak
also on his experiences in the South
Pacific and the discrimination
which he saw practiced there on
Negroes. Lynn served for more
than two years in New Guinea and
