There mpst be some way out. '‘Lundy's Place began to come to life again. Dad tried to shut his ears against the din, but it grew - louder and louder. Some one shout. ed. ‘Drinks on Joe Lundy!' Free| drinks meant that Lundy was tak Ing the easicst way of making him- - gelf solid with the miners. “Dad hadn't got rid of that sense | of ‘something wrong.' There was something wrong.

Furie had slid back into the shad- ows. Dad recalled Furie had been cleaned by Lundy several years be- for and he supposed this was his revenge. “Dad thought for a space. Then ling, carousing, dancing, shooting he got up and moved towards the door, rolling a cigarette. Fitch raised his head. “Dad grinned at him. ‘Lundy up- stairg still?’ *‘I dunno,’ the man answered. “Dad shoved into the resort. The crowd was busy getting drunk as fast as it knew how. Dad's appear- lance checked the hilarity for a |moment, but he nodded amiably here and there and they went at 1t harder than ever. “Pushing up to the bar, he took la drink and asked it Lundy was | still upstairs. The barkeeper said he hadn’t secn him come down. “Dad mounted the stair, forming his plan. He would call Lundy's crooked play and force him to sub- mit the magnifying glasses and the | marked cards to a committee of | miners. On the strength of Lundy's fraud, he'd then demand Uncle release and the return of the check and the mining transfer. “From the top of the stair dud looked down over the hall. Fitch and Webb had come in. Burke, dad supposed, was outside. He leuned on the newel: post for a moment, then ambled over to Lundy's ‘secrei’ roork. “Lundy was sitting at his desk with his ordinary glasses on. He grinned when he saw who it was but his eyes narrowed and his hand slipped down to his gun belt.

FILIBUSTER GROUP ROUTED BY TROOPS Danger Believed Averted—Mar- tial Law Enforced in City Willemstad, Curacao, Dutch West Indies, June 12 (#—Martial law is being enforced here until every dan- ger of repetition of Saturday night's successful raid by Venezuelan fili- busters is past. All liquor estab- lishments have been closed. The governor of Curacao, who was kidnaped by the raiders Saturday night and forced to accompany thém as a hostage to the Venezuelan coast where he was released, said he was confident the additional precau- tions would frustrate any further at- tempts by either Venezuelan rebels outside the colony or those possibly still on the island. Publication of news that Dutch warships were en route here from Holland with marine detachments to furnish additional protection has served further to allay public anx- fety.

POLLY AND HER PALS OH'HES GOT A HEART OF GOLD, I GUESSBUT THEM TEETH Buenos Aires, June 12 . (UP)— Something novel in house-robbing has been uncovered by the police | of Buenos Aires. The “cat bur- gler” is at work. A large band of burglars, in order to facllitate the epcape of their comrades, formed a human chain from the third story of the house they were robbing to' one across the way. The actual work- ers managed to walk to safety across the chain of bodies and. then the members of the chain, by acrobatic skill, also managed to reach the upper floor of the building through which they made their escape. The police surprised the *“cat burglars” during one of their ex- cursions and, with the aid of the fire department, hose, ladders and firemen’s hats managed to cap- ture some ot the thieves, GOURT FREES CHAGE AFTER LONG FIGHT Man Held for -Natick, Mass., Police Is Given Liberty Stanley Chace, arrested May 20 for the Natick, Muss., police as.a tugitive from justice, emerged: a free man last night after a series of court actions in which ' Attorney Maurice W. Rosenberg . fought a successful legal fight to prevent the Natick police from taking Chace back te face charges of non-support and deserting his children. Chace was arraigned in police court here on the day' following his arrest and the case was continued while extradition papers were being prepared by the Massachusetts au- thorities. At a hearing in the office of Governor Trumbull, May- 27 ex- tradition was approved. Attorney Rosenberg promptly - applied for a. writ of habeas corpus which’'was eued under orders of Judge Bootn of the superior court, trial being set down for June 11. Yesterday, Assistant State’s Attor- ney Donald Gaffney, representing the state of Connecticut, and Assist- ant State's Attorney W. R. Crafts of Massachusetts sought to have an order issued for.the return of Chace to Natick, but the court ruled that he be discharged. The case was re- opened on motion of Attorney Crafts who introduced new evidence by the wife, a paralytic. The court re- cessed at ¢:40 o'clock, and at 5.30 o'clock returned with a Vverdict in tavor of Chace The non-support charge failed when it developed that the wife was | Be: unwilling to come to New Britain to live. Chace, according to testimony, had supported the children, but had & disagreement with his wife con- cerning an insurance policy and when she refused to send the policy here, he cut off the support of the children. The evidence, the court ruled, would not support a charge that he had fled from Massachusetts o escape prosecution. , Woman Loses Suit Against Macdonald Bridgeport, June 12 (M—In a memorandum of decision returned tody by Judge Newell Jennings in superior court, the issues are found in favor of State Highway Commissionar John A. Macdonald in a suit brought by Anna Monczport of Shelton: The woman sued to re- cover $10,000 damages for hurts she sustained on December 24, 1927 on the Nichols-Shelton road when her car skidded ‘on the icy pavement and overturned. $ Judge Jenningd in his decision finds that the state highway em- ployes acted with all due care in at. tempting to make the road safe for travel. The foreman in charge of this work arrived at the scene of the accident two hours later. is shown by the judge to have been due to the fact that the foreman resided in this city and here there was no evidence of the sleet storm that struck Shelton on the morning of the accident.
