She does not tell him that Zoie is now the professor's wife and this does -not collie out for some time. The professor has fin- ally been worked up into Stich a state by the belief that. his wife hag bad two or thine husbands and that she has poisoned them all with 'lob- ster salad that .110 is almost beside himself and the wife and her mother pack up and leave the house to get a diverce. In the meantime Dr. Grah'arn, a country physician, brings (his young daughter to enter her in the college and the •susceptible pro- fessor is greatly taken by her ap- pearance. In the last scene the aro- feasor is shown with June Gra- ham as his wife, his first wife hav- ing divorced him, and they are very happy. But Dr. Graham, who has been holidaying at Niagara Falls, come (home with a new bride, who turps eut to be the professor's. late mother-in-law and all hie troubles start again, 'But, banpilY, Zole's old lover, Billy Blake, happens along and tells them: that Secretes Ford, the lady'husband, is 'living in China and hat made a lot of money in Tice tree theatres and wants hie wife to join him.

John A. InicEwan of the second' concession of Stanley town- ship looked out of the window on Tuesday morning, just as it was getting nice arid clear, he saw two deer wondering in his field.

Any- way the sight of deer running wild in Stanley township is not a very com- mon one. DEATH OF MRS. J. T. CLARK The death occurred on Monday morning of Mrs. Joseph T.
