The door opened an inch or s0 and Fitch’s face appeared in the crack. Dad had to press his hands to his naked body to quiet the pounding of his heart. The door /opened wider. Fitch must be coming in. Dad's hand slid around to his .45. “‘What yuh want?' he snarled, Peterson’s feet collided with sometthing mf; and heavy—derry's body eye—but the lenses in Lundy’s spec- tacles are magnifying glasses, part of his cunning plot. Peterson re- turns to Lundy’s office and accuses him of cheating. They both fire but Lundy’s bullet misses and Peterson’s golden slug strikes Lundy in the head. —CHAPTER 40 “BULL”-AND “NAP” “Dad was pretty badly shaken,” Jerry continued, “but he couldn’t pretend to regrets he didn't feel. Lundy was a rascal and he'd brought it on himself. Dad slid over to the door, expecting this would be the end. “When he opened the door he @aw the rush he had expected hadn’t begun. It didn’t look as if it were going to, either. The row was worse than ever. It didn't take dad long to realize that the shooting up- stairg had been identified with that downstairs and that it was sup- posed to be part of the general jol- litication. “But just then he saw Fitch break away from a group of men near the froat door and come slow- ly down the hall to the stair. Dad quickly shut the door. Fitch's cas- ual gait didn’t indicate he suspect- ed something was wrong. Y “Dad bad intended to submit the .. eards ;nd Lundyu other pair of =——glassey - to miners, but’ with ety Baad sl ths mmers.tult ot '7 Ms cheap whiskey, he doubted if .. this were wise. They'd be more than likely to lynch him and Uncle Jerry, and inquire into the merits of the case afterwards. He thought of the north window. No, he must do better than that. “He slid over to the door and leltering on the stair. Shutting the door, he hurried into that store- reom. Professor Dryden Pope’s wax figures stood in two rows near the | parte and, after pulling the tabl: out of the immediate range of the light above, planked him down sidewise on the chair Lundy had i occupled. Dad rolled Lundy into v+ the shadows behind the table. otripped him of his gray shirt, and in a fair imitation of Lundy's high- pitched voice. * “Fitch stopped. ‘Nothin,’ was jest takin' a look-see.’ *‘Git out, then!' dad shouted in the same voice. “Fitch slammed the door shut. “Dad stood up, breathing hard. Of course, Fitch had no reason to believe the two figures he saw were not dad’s and Lundy's, but 1 don’t think one man in a hundred could have carried it off. “It wasn't likely that Fitch would look in again for a while. Dad crammed the marked cards into a pocket and raised the sash of the north window to the top. Climbing through, he dropped to the roof of the lean-to heneath ft, then to the ground helow. He lis- tened. Nothing happened. He hadn't been seen, evidently, He re- membered, then, that he'd forgot- ten to bring Lundy's magnifying classes. Well, he wasn't going [back for them. “He came fo the mine property and called Dillon by name. But Dillon didn't answer. Dad called again. S8till he didn't answer, “Dad peered into the shadows of the overhang. Had Dillon laid some fort of a trap for him? he won- dered. The squickest way to find out was to move towards the mine Joe. 1 door, and this he proceeded to do. ‘There was no where. “‘Jerry!" dad shouted. “There was no answer. he roared. ‘This i Alex!’ “Uncle Jerry didn't answer and dad took out his keys. His hands shook o that he could hardly fit the key into the lock and turn fit. “He went into the tunnel, calling to Uncle Jerry. There was no re- ply. He found a match, but before he could strike it his feet collided with something soft and heavy. “It was Uncte Jerry he had stum- blal over.

WINDOK PEEPER I NABBED AND FINED Amscini Pays $15 Following His Arvest on Trinify Street Joseph Amascini, 40, of 179 Hart- ford avenue was fined $15 and costs in police court today on the charge of breach of the peace, having been caught after 11 o’clock last night by Supernumerary Officer Lincoln May on Trinity street, between South Main and Bassett streets and iden- tified as a window “peeper.” Sergeant P, A. McAvay and Of- fcer Willilam Grabeck testified that they were detailed with Officer May to investigate a telephone report to headquarters that a man was seen looking into a bedroom window ut 208 Bassett street and after Officer him. He had left his automobile at Bassett and Trinity streets and claimed he was looking for a man named Johnson at 15 Trinity street relative to an automobile painting job. Alibi Is Offered He said he had been at the carni- val over the line in Berlin and de- home. He claimed that he went to 208 Bassett street by mistake and as he was passing a window in the house he heard a woman screair. Then a man ran out and he feared he would be shot, so he fled. He did not make this statement at once, according to the officers, his first story being a denial that he was on the premises. Elmer Johnson of 208 Bassett street and his sisters, Ruth and Edith testified that Mrs. Howard Rund of 214 Bassett street tele- phoned that someone was looking in the window. The young women were preparing to retire for night. Howard Rund testified that he happened to look out of bed- room window in his home next door to Johnson's house and saw the “peeper.” While he dressed to give chase he told his wife to telephone to the Johnsons. He did not see Amscini's face but believed he was the man. Amscini denied that he had looked into the window. He conducts a garage on Arch street he said, and is married. ly to a man named Johnson about a paint job and last night he went looking for him but became coa- fused. He went into the yard at 208 Bassett street and was passing the window when he heard a scream. “I thought they would take me for a bum and they might get excited and shoot me, so I ran,” he said. Prosecuting Attorney Woods classed him as “a despicable person™ and characterized his gction as *“‘ve- prehensible.” Judge Saxe sald he would like to believe his defense but could not, as he felt the evidence was overwhelming.

The maiden members now are in the throes of preparation for the annual party te which they invite all the eligible bachelors of the town and any from foreign parts that they can find. After drinking a cup of coffee and cating cakes baked by fond fair hands, the gentlemen guests are invited to take part in the dancing, the musical performance,.and even walk to the ruins of an ancient castle in company with any they might select from the party. The matrimonial luncheon was founded in 1906 when the girls be- gan to realize that enough propos- ing wasn't done. The purpose was to spur to further efforts the re- calcitrant bachelors, and its -suc- cess was so signal that the organi- zation has been continued.

R. Wah- renberger of 146 Winthrop street adheres to the livihood portion more closely than the athers. The object of ‘this contest is to give advertising gratis' and the letter certainly does that little thing rather neatly, Here’s Mr. Wahrenberger's leter anent Mr. Carlson: The silhouette in last evening's issue of the New Britain Herald was that of Mr. Adolf Carlson of the New Britain Finance corporation. Mr. Carlson’s place of business is as 163 Main street, He is also con. nected with the firm of Carlson & Carlson, real estate dealers, His “for sale” signs may be seen on numerous properties throughout the city and surrounding towns. They are live wires. All drivers of auto- mobiles would do well to consult Mr. Carlson in regard to automobile insurance. He represents the well known Lumbermen’s Mutual Insur- ance company, which rebates 25 par cent of the premium to the custom- er and also allows 10 per cent dis- count for past good driving record. Mr. Carlson commands the re- spect and admiration of all who know him and his jovial disposition and square business dealings have won him many friends. He is a member of the Lions club and ie active in the affairs of the Swedish Lutheran church. Mr, Carlson re- sides at 306 Linwood street, ‘Who might the silhouette be to- night? He is a former member of the pclice board and a legislator of exceptional note. He is well liked by all who.come in contact with him. He, like Adolph Carlson, has visited the land of his ancestors, only this time it's Germany that at- tracts his attenion, wnich he knows like a book., Speaking of Germany, opens up a new line of thought in the editor's mind and he just has to give out a few hintlets in the German language, because of the fact that he was the recipient of many congratulatory remarks for his endeavors last evening when he featured the Swedish language. The French folks also liked that en- deavor of the editor's when he gave Claude Leroux a send-off in good pure New Britain second arrondisse- ment nch also.

Finis. old lLatin influence group of new evening gowns to be fitted before the royal court moved from Windsor to Sandringham, the country palace of England’s royalty. The simple life that the sovereign and his family lead at Sandringhgm precludes the queen’'s wearing any of her frocks, so it is supposed she is preparing for the season in Lon- don during the courts in late June at Buckingham palace. One of the new gowns is of pale gold satin, draped with soft, grace- ful net, and another is of mauve and silver brocade. Although resident queens never go personally to the shops of Lon- don, many visiting royal ladies go to showrooms as quite ordinary per- sons, look at the mannikins and make their decisions on the spot. The democratic informality that has invaded most royal families since the war has resulted in many royal trips to fashion's haunts Most of the smartest London dress- makers are thoroughly versed in queenly tastes and when they know of an impending visit have the whole show in readiness. Queen Marie of Rumania is one of the most frequent of the foreign visitors, and her taste and choice in clothes is universally admired by all dressmakers who have tended her wants. The Spanish queen and her two debutante daughters, Infanta Bea- trice and Infanta Maria Cristina, are familiar figures in certain Ken- sington dressmakers’ and milliners’ shops. The queen eften tries on many hats in -the showroom in making her selection. Princess Martha, wife of the heir to the throne of Norway, and her mother-in-law, the queen of Nor- way, frequent certain Bond street shops and come away newly decked in the cleverest frocks the London market offers.
