DURHAM COUNTY SNOWED IN Snow, accompanied by a 40-mile an hour gale, swept across Dur- ham County all day yesterday, and as a result, county roads are bloek- ed with deep drifts. The Peter- boro highway has been a source of trouble to motorists since early Wednesday evening, and since that time has gradually become worse. Yesterday every available snow plow was taken to the Peterboro highway to keep the road clear. Scott's Corners seems to he the worst place on the road, and three snow plows are kept busy at this point. In many places it is almost impossible for automobiles to get through.

Colden, caretaker Glenwood Cemetery, Picton, died in the Prince Edward County Hospi- tal early yesterday morning from a fracture of the skull, and John R. Sayers is a patient in the same institution, suffering from two bro- ken legs and three broken ribs. The men received - their injuries on Tuesday last when they were cut- ting down trees in the cemetery. Another worker, R. Manlow, was considerably bruised and scratched, but his injuries are not serious. The men were engaged in trim- ming and cutting trees in the cem- etery. The particular tree which caused the fatality stood on a hill- side. The workers were standing near the tree, down the hill, The tree fell and, catching the ren, it carried them to the bottom of the hill. Colden was buried, the base of the tree striking him on the head. The trunk of the tree, when it came to rest, was lying over Say- ers, while Manlow was buried in the branches. A team of horses was pressed into service to drag the tree from the top of the men, and they were then rushed to hospital.

Lo Shee-shi, a married woman, was given by her hushand two $500 notes issued by the Corpora- tion. She put them in the pocket of one of her garments, which she later washed without having taken out the notes. When she was ahout to iron the clothing she noticed a lump in the pocket. This was taken by her husband to the bank, who identified one of the notes and cashed it. The other note tha bank refused to cash.

The judge, how- ever, decided in favor of Lo Shee- shi and the Supreme Court, by a majority, upheld this decision. The Judicial Committee confirmed the ruling. ---- BIG FLYING PRIZE Philadelphia, March 9.--Phila- delphia will be the goal of Captain Walter Hinchcliffe, British flier, when he starts on his westbound transatlantic flight, it was an- nounced here today hy Hollins- head N.

BOOK II THE TWO HELENS ~ "0 Guns, fall silent till the dead men hedr Above their heads the legions press- ing on: - . Bid them be patient, and some day, anon, °° They shall feel earth enwrapt in silence deep; Shall greet, in wonderment, the quiet dawn, And in content may turn them to their sleep," CHAPTER XIII The Awakening Immediately following that day when she had watched her father from the arbor and had talked with Bobby and Maggie Whaley on the old road, Helen Ward had thrown herself into the social ac- tivities of her circle as if deter- mined to find, in those interests, a cure for her discontent and un- happiness, Several times she called for a few minutes at the little hut on the cliff. But she did not again talk of herself or af her father to the old basket maker as she had talked that day when she first met the children from the Flats. Two or three times she saw the chil- dren. But she passed them quick- ly by with scarcely a nod of greet- ing. And yet, the daughter of Adam Ward felt with increasing certainty that she could never be content with the busy nothingness which absorbed the lives of so many of her friends. Her father, since his retirement, seemed a lit- tle better. But she could not put out of her mind the memory of what she had seen. For her, the dreadful presence of the hidden thing always attended Yim. Be- cause she could mot banish the feeling and because there was no- thing she could do, she sought re- lief by escaping from the house as often as possible on the plea of social duties, There were young woman mother knew. fancied that guessed the shadowed their the her when that times thought At times she her brother half secret that. so over- home. But Mrs. Ward and her children alike shrank from anything approach- ing frankness in mentioning the Mill owner's condition, And so they went on, feeling the hidden thing, dreading they knew not what--deceiving themselves and | each other with hopes that in their hearts they knew were false. The mother, brave, loyal soul, geeing her daughter's unhappiness and wishing to protect her from the thing that had so saddened her own life, encouraged Helen to find what relief she could in the pleasures that kept her so many hours from home. John, occupied by the exacting duties of his new position, needed apparently noth- ing more. Indeed, to Helen, her brother's attitude toward his work, his views of life and his increas- ing neglect of what she called the obligations of their position in Millsburgh, were more and more puzzling, She had thought that with John's advancement to the general managership of the Mill hig peculiar ideas would be modifi- ed. 'But his promotion seemed to have made no sign of a change in Lis conception of the relationship between employer and employee, or in his attitude toward the uni- ons or toward the industrial situ- ition as a whole. Of one thing Helen was certain --her brother had found that which she, in her own life, was somehow missing. And so the young woman observed her broth- er with increasing interest and a growing feeling that approached en vv. At every opportunity she led Lim to talk of his work' or rather of his attitude toward his work, 1nd encouraged him to express tho tonvictions that had so changed his own life and that were #0 foreign to the tenets of Helen and her class. And always their talks ended with John's advice: "Go ask the Interpreter; he knows; he will make it so much clearer than [ can." But with all interest in his work and John's absorbing in the Helen of the Old House By AAROLD BELL WRIGHT. general {industrial - situation of Millsburgh, whicli under the grow- ing influence of Jake Vodell was becoming every day more difficult and dangerous, the general man- ager could not escape the memor- is of that happy evening at the Martin cottage. The atmosphere of this workman's home was so different from the atmosphere of his own home in the big house on the hill. There was a peace, a contentment, a feeling of security in the little cottage that was sadly wanting in the more pretentious residence. Following, as it did, his father's retirement from the Mill with his own promotion to the rank of virtual ownership and his immediate talk with Captain Char- lie, that evening had reestablished for him, as it were, the relation- ship and charm of his boyhood days. It was though, having been once submitted to a final test, he was now admitted once more with out reserve, to the innermost circle of their friendship. On his way to and from his off- ice he nearly always, now, drove past the Martin cottage. The dis- tance was greater, it is true, but John thought that the road was enough better to more than make up for that. Besides, he really did enjoy the drive down the tree-arch- ed street and past the old house. It was all so rich in memories of his happy boyhood, and sometimes ---nearly always, in fact--he would catch a glimpse of Mary among her flowers or on the porch or perhaps at the gate. Occasionally this young manager of the Mill, with his strange ideas of industrial comradeship, found it necessary to spend an evening with these workmen who were leaders in the union that was held by his father and by Mclver to be a menace to the employer class, It in no way detracted from the val- ue of these consultations with Cap- tain Charlie and his 'father that Mary was always present, In fact, Mary herself was In a position ma- terially to help John Ward in his study of the industrial problems that were of such vital interest to him, No one knew better than did Pete Martin's daughter the actual living conditions of the class of la- boring people who dwelt in the Flats. Certainly, as he watched the progress of Jake Vodell's mis- sionary work among them, John could not ignore these Sam Whal- eys of the industries as an import- ant factor in his problem. So it happened, curiously en- pugh, that Helen herself was led to call at the little home next door to the old house where she had lived in tnose years of her happy girlhood. Helen was downtown that after- noon on an unimportant shopping errand, She had left the stole after making her purchases, and was about to enter her automobile, when Mclver, who chanced to be passing, stopped to greet her. There was no doubting the gen- uinemess of the man's pleasure in the incident, nor was Helen herself at all displeased at this break in what had been, so far, a rather dull day. "And what brings you here at this unreasonable hour he asked; "on Saturday, too? Don't you know that there is a tenuis match on at the club?" "I didn't seem to care for the tennis today somehow," she re- turned. '"Mother wanted some things from Harrison's, so I came downtown to get them fo her." He caught a note in her voice that made him ask with grave concern, "How your father, Helen?" She answered, quickly, "Oh fath- er is doing nicely, thank you." Then, with a cheerfulness that was a little forced, she asked in turn. "And why have you deserted the club yourself this afternoon?" "Business," he returned, "There will-be no more Saturday after- noous off for me for some time to come, | fear." Then he added, quickly, "But ' look here, Helen, there is no need of our losing the day altogether. Send your man on and come with me or a little spin. down " is The roadster is in the next block.

IT H poEsn'T PAY RIGID VEGETARIAN MADE WIFE UNHAPPY London, Eng., Mar. 9.--The suggestion that a husband's liking for vegetarianism led his wife to try to take her own life and that of her - infant son was mrade at the Old Bailey. Mrs. Ruth Jones, 24, of Finsbury Park, ap- peared before the Lord Chief Jus- tice, to ankwer charges of attempt- ed murder and attempted suicide. She pleaded guilty. Gerald Dodson said the married life of Mr. and Mrs. Jones had not been happy owing to the husband's ideas on food. "He seems to have been a rigid vegetarian, and to have insisted upon a diet of herbs not only for himself but also for his wife and bab," he added. The Lord Chief Justice: is that a ground for divorce? Mr. Dodson: I have not con- sidered that, my lord. It may be- come a ground in a few years' time. Tindal Atkinson, on behalf of Mrs. Jones, said her husband had drawn up a very rigid dietary for himself and his family, and a doc- tor whom she consulted had as- sured Mrs. Jones that if this was persisted in the baby would not live. The woman's husband, Herbert Jones, a compositor, stated that he was willing to take his wife back. The Lord Chief Justice: Will you promise not to insist on this vegetarian diet for the child or for her? Jones: Yes, on my honor. 'this morning WOODSTOCK ELATED OVER T. C. S.
