years at a Female Seminary" It was through her roommate there that she had met my father, then 8 medical student at Bowdoin College.
 For all her background, my mother fitted nicely into our little village, where my fathers family had lived for three generations and where his father had been the doc tor before him. Though she was re- served, no one felt that she was the least bit "stuck-up" She worked tireleSsly for the church, and the library, and the Sidewalk Society. She had better sense than my father, and he respected 1t, leaving all moral Judgments to her discre- tion, Ask your mother" he would tell us, when, hoping for @ gentler verdict, we would appeal to him. She is the boss here" CT boss the boys," he would sometimes laughing ly add.) He asked her advice con- stantly and took it-on town affairs, on any speech he was asked to de- liver Che loved to make speeches), {, even on the care of his patients. But he never asked 1t when he contem- plated an investment. She had never volunteered 1t, either, until that spring afternoon in 1909.
 But he went ahead in spite of her. He bought the American House and, through 8 Portland agency, hired a man named sim Mcclure to run its on shares.

 My father must have been re- membering that. We wouldn't even have to go inside it." he promised. T know where can get manager on a cooperative basis. With him there the place would run itself"
 My mother frowned over her stitches. Tt isn't just its reputation" !" she said. "It's the prospects. No one has ever made go of it since the mines closed"
 Maybe no one has made a go of it," he granted. But times have changed. Think of the tourist trade. The road from the Junction is going to be graveled, and by summer auto mobiles will be coming through here every day"
 Our nearest city was the Junc- ton, 15 miles to the east. Two trains passed through it every day. Its sidewalks were paved and its streets were lighted with gas. It had hotel and two drugstores. The Court House was there, and the County Jail. You could often see as many as five automobiles on it's streets at the same time, some bearing banners of cities as remote as 40 miles.
 With that new road, we'd have more business than We could pos Sibly handle" he continued. Why, it's a sure thing"

 The murder trials brought out several of the "flrsts" in the courts history.
 The zukauskaS trial marked the first time three judges set together in a Waterbury court. The Zukaus- kas case also was the first in which tlfe court allowed use of State funds for an appeal to the State Supreme Court of Errors. Never before, also. had policeman been convicted here.
 When the Lucarelli grand jury was impaneled, two women were selected, marking the first time that women sat on a grand jury in Wa terbury.
 Summoning of three grand juries in one year was an unusual event itself. Perhaps more unusual was the naming of one man, Omar Platt of Milford, to all three, and still more vital his selection as grand jury foreman by the other jurors three times.
 The court session also was un- usual from the standpoint of judges.

THE AMERICAN HOUSE
By Virginia Chase

n1K father was a doctor and proud ARA Of hls calling but he liked to fancy himself a businessman as well. The secret of good bargaining, he used to assure us, lay in detecting latent possibilities. So, in making his rounds in our little Maine village, he was forever spotting something "a woodlot, a hlueberry pasture, once even a chalk pond--and hur- rying of to buy 1t before anyone could get ahead of him. The rush was quite unnecessary, for he seldom had Q competitor and, once the property was his, never an insistent buyer. But this did not deter him.
 Late one March afternoon in the year 1909 my mother and were dione in the sitting room, waiting for him Co come home from his Oflice. She was sewing and at the same time helping me with my arithmetic.
 If five times two is tel, then five must go into ten twice. Can't you see that, Lucyp" she said.
 'Yes, Mama" But couldn't, quite.
 My mother was a very handsome woman. She had thick, chestnut hair, which she twisted into a Figure Eight, and dark eyes with heavy brows and lashes. Her figure was slight and trim. Surely these three big girls can't belong to you," strangers often protested when they met her. We girls used to get little tired of hearing it. But not my father. He beamed as though every time were the first. As though it were a compliment to him, really. My mother herself had no vanity, nor did she allow us girls to de- velop any. If you behave as well as you look," she used to say Though she had way of not finish ing some of her sentences, she al- ways made her meaning clear.
 "Then if five times three is fif- teen," she went on.
 Here's Papa" said, grateful for the interruption. Hes coming up the driveway" He wasn't wearing any gloves, I noticed, and his over- coat was unbuttoned.
 Ordinarily my father had no pa- tience with people who exposed themselves.
 Y DROWNED smugly, catching his \ eye. But he didn't seem to get my meaning. He came right on through the stormhouse and into the entry. T heard some news to- day" he said.
 What was it?" my mother asked, looking up. News was rare in our village, especially at this season.
 '"The American House is for sale" he told her. The whole place, fully equipped, for $1,5oO." The Amer ican House was the village hotel. It had been closed for almost two years.
 "Oh," my mother said, looking disappointed. She had obviously hoped for something more. That a patient had paid bill in cash, may be. T cant imagine who would buy It." she went on. '1f ever there was an eyesore."
 The American House was a mon- strosity. Built of frame and painted bilious yellow, 1t rose bluntly above Cuf low, gabled dwellings. The front was bad enough. This had covered piazza, shading the lower floor like

 "Eyesore!" my father protested from the doorway. Why, it's a frst-class bargain"
 My mother gave him a quick glance. NO one in town knows the first thing about running hotel" she said.
 "AIl it takes is a little efficiency" he assured her, turning to hang up his coat.

CHAPTER H

OUR house was outside of the vil- " lage just beyond the Academy, on the road that led to the hill. It was of the older variety, built back from the street and reached by a walk that was bordered by lilacs and syringas. Like almost every other family in the village. we had a COW, a pig, and garden. We had horse, too, but her use was reserved for my father. Our barn joined the house by way of a shed. Being city, bred, my mother could never quite get used to this arrangement and was forever reminding us to close the door between them. Your mothers afraid the smell of the kitchen will get out into the stable" |" my father used to say slyly.
 My father was very proud of his home and his family. He was espe- cially proud of Sue, who was IA and a sophomore in the Academy. Sue was quick. She could hunt him up faster than anyone when call came in, and by the time he got his things together she would have the horse hitched and waiting in the driveway. But she was impatient and apt to be bossy when my mother was out of hearing. Sue liked to draw, and she was good at it, too, though she al- ways drew things that were fierce and turbulent. Forest fires. Houses swirling around in Q flood. Cats fighting.
 Julia was & By father was proud of her, too. though she beffied him. He himself was tender -hearted--it
