THIS HAS HAPPENED Milired Lawrence falls in love with Btephen Armitage who is lured away from her by Pamela Judson ‘when ‘she tells him that Mildred is trying to marry her brother, Har- old, for his money. Harold fears Huek Conner because he holds a check which he forged. Huck is in- fatuated with Pamela, who plays him ‘te make Stephen jealous. When Pamela maneuvers Stephen into an cagagement Huck frames him for the theft of an auto and causes his arrest. Pamela breaks their engage- ment, but Mildred goes to see him in jail and promises help. Harold had once confessed his fear of Huck 1o Mildred and said that he threatened to “get Armi- tage” to keep him from marrying Pamela. With this as a clew, she S determines to force Harold to aid Stephen and is shocked to hear of hig death — apparently accidental. Theén she tells Stephen her sus- picions but they have no proof and things secem hopeless. In desperation Mildred goes to Pa- mela and tells her story. Pamela sends her to Mr. Judson, who still believes she was scheming to marry fied of She had burst in upon him with- out warning. In the rather dim light of his cell she could not sec the quick ebbing of his color. With a bound she wag in his arms, pulling his head down, show- ering kisses upon him, crying out how she'd abused her poor dear “Stevo.” To Stephen she was like the sun bursting out from heavy clouds. No wonder. She had spent the best part of two hours after Mildred had left her in her rooms at the hotel in making herself beautiful with the avowed intention of over- whelming him. Her maid was at the moment having hysterics in the servants’ quarters while a dozen costumes. brought out and discarded, still lay scattered about Pamela's dressing- room. Stephen's arms tightened about her while his hunger for her satis- itself with her nearn He was emotionally crazed. The power self-hypnotism he had induced by endless hours of longing for her swayed him uncontrolled. She was here! She was his! She had come to him! as she made her way to the man- ager's private office in the jewelry shop where she was accustomed fo 100k over the best of the stock about once a month. *“Good afternoon, Mr. Blaine,” she greeted the manager brightly, and then remembered to be more sedate. The truth was Pamela had felt the shock of Haroid's death tremen- dously, but her mercurial nature would not permit her long to re- n:ain plunged in either grief of joy. With the cradication of the signs of her grief had come absorbing in- terest in the prospect of being Ste- rhen’s sweetheart again. with an early wedding ahcad of her, the prospect was even more allur- ing. Her father had promised to take her on a trip abroad soon, but she didn’t care for $he new Mrs. Jud- son. They hadn'f been friends be- fore the marriage—they were rather less now. A journey in her step- mother’s company had not appealed greatly to Pamela, “May 1 offer you my sympathy. Miss Judso Blalne was saying to he “Oh,” Pamela said, and reached And now, | the man stepped over into the angle formed by a pile of dry goods boxes against a building, where he would run small chance of being observed, released a cord that allowed a gun to slip down into his right hand, curled his finger around the trigger and fired.

The building is a five-story so- called fireproof structure covering a square block. The fire started in a cupola. atop the structure and ate its way through the unoccupied fifth floor into the fourth floor, con- taining Ward 42, where it was final- ly checked.

Mangan. At Willow Brook park, the swamp along South Main atreet, and in the locality of the Spanish-American ‘War memorial, was eliminated by placing 3,000 yards of fill in the low lands. 8wimming in the summer months and ice hockey in the winter season kept the enclosed pool in al- most constant use. An artificial pond for skating was attempted on the rlaying field but was not as success- ful as expected an danother site will be tried next winter. More than 500 shrubs were planted in the park, the half-mile fence around the play- ing field and the several buildings were painted. In Stanley Quarter park, a base- ball diamond was constructed. This year, a football field and an indoor hareball diamond are planned.

She knew that' M¥, Judsen was not joking, but the position that had meant so much to her before would mean only heartaches now. “Goodby,” she said and hands with him. He watched her go, hurrying to- ward the nearest subway entrance, and there was something about the set of her young shoulders that tugged at his heart. ‘While Mildred hurried back to her office Pamela was on her way to the jeweler 8he was in high spirits, except when the memory of her recent bereavement intruded itself upon her pleasant reflections ¢ of her visit with Stephen. shook tist row I'll have to give up the time tomorrow and 1 want to be with yeu every minute.” Stephen held her tight. “I'll do some shopping t00,” she said happily. “I'll get some Khaki things, though I think they're aw- fully ugly, don’t you?

Stevo. I hate to leave you In this horrible place, but it will be just a little minute longer. Tl try to be back at the hotel when you get there.” It did not occur to Stephen to wonder how she could visit her den- and shop all in “just a litile minute.” Her descent upon him had been too sudden and over- whelming to allow him to reason. It was not until several minutes after she had left him that he realized he was experiencing an un- expected reaction. He wished he had asked her something about her remark that her father was going to get him out of jail. He felt completely in the dark, trying to make sense of Pamela's running talk. Freedom! Marriage! Africa! “Good Lord!" Pamela was troubled with none of the doubts that assailed Stephen. Her imaginary toothache was mnot even so much as an imaginary one hectiv, you know, sailing for on practically a moment’s “Might T ask if I.know the young 12" Mr. Blaine inquired upon the strength of his long business ac- quaintance with the Judson family. “He's a young man from the " Pamela answered. vou know, I'm sure. But he's most definitely places Just what she meant by “defi- nitely placed,” Mr. Blaine w lowed to figure out for himself. He took it to mean that the young man was well established in the social world. Pamela rose after choosing hes ring and Mr. Blaine accompaniel her to the street door and wished her happiness on her new venture. She was in her car and headed for the hotel hefore she remem- bered that she had intended buying a present for Mildred. She was so happy she wanted to make up for having caused Mildred to lose her position. “Oh, wel, bother. Tl send her a row of those cute little ivory ele- phants from Africa.” Mildred, at that moment, was in little necd of ivory elephants or anything else from Pamela. When she left Mr. Judson and hurried to take a subway train to her work she was followed by one of Huck's men who had specific orders in regard to her.
