own home and turned toward the
Armstrong residence.
His fears of Schmitz had been In
vain. after all. he decided When he
passed the engineers home, the fell
low was sitting on the porch. enjoy
ing an evening smoke. From tall
hagpole on the lawn to another pole
on the highest point of the house the
wireless antennae were strung. III
he hopes to gain any advantage over
me with that rigging" thought Le-
clair, triumphant and contemptuous,
"he's badly fooled" He dwadled
comfortably along the way. When
the wireless rigging at the Armstrong
place came in sight. he smiled almost
pityingly.
Nellie is in the wireless room"
said Mrs. Armstrong when Leclair
inquired for her si'i ~ 80
He knew the way to It, and passed
into the house, up the broad fIstairs
to the second story and thence tup
another stairway to the attic.
The big room, cut into queer
sloplng angles by the roof and lighted
by dormer windows, was an attrac-
tive apartment Especially was 1t
attractive when graced by the pres
ence of Nellie Armstrong. She was
standing. slender. girlish figure In
white. at the wireless instrument
which took up one end Of the attic.
The receiving apparatus was strapped
over her fair hair. So intently was
she listening to a message that she
seemed not to notice Leclalr's coming.
Presently she reached forward and
began opening the key. Obedient
to the trained pressure, the big spark
leaped back and forth between the
poles, swapping and cracking as 1t
did so.
The reply was brief When 1t was
finished the girl, with a gesture in
describably joyous and light-hearted,
removed the receiver and turned to
Leclair. The young man had never
seen her more beautiful, and his
heart beat quickly as he started for
ward, In tune to her mood. Her
cheeks were flushed, her lips parted
with smile. and her eyes shone like
stars.
Unconsciously she gave him both
her hands and Leclair's brain swan
with an intoxicating sense of victory.
The proposal which he had secretly
feared was going to be easy. after all.
She was making It easy -
"Oh. Harry. she said. giving his
hands little shake. I'm so happy!
And you've always been friend. so
you shall be the first to knowi"
Leclair's brain steadied suddenly
as though he had been drenched with
a bucket of water; his bounding
heart sank forebodingly. He looked
at her searchingly. What Is it?"
he managed to ask at last with dry
lips
The girl had noticed that a change
had come into his manner, but she
was too engrossed in what the wire
less had told to see its true signif-
canoe. Her head dropped shyly. and
the color in her cheeks deepened.
Paul has asked me to marry him."
she said softly. And told him yes.
Wasn't 1t clever of him toto ask by
wireless? Why, you aren't going?
as Leclair turned away. Wait; Paul
is coming right over"
81 can't" said Leclair, lifelessly.
81 just dropped in for a minute to
say good-by. I'm leaving town tomor-
row."

POL LlCEMAn IN WRESTLING MATCH
 WITH MAD HORSE

Patrolman Bernard Glennon wrest- led desperately with an infuriated horse at Fairfield avenue and Water street in the midst of a large gather ing of pedestrians at 11:3O this morn ing, and the policeman won.
 The horse attached. to a heavy cart of Burns & Go. was driven by Gius- eppe Cavalcoli across the path of a Barnum avenue car as it turned North past the Atlantic hotel.
 The truck swept against the car smashing several of the hand rails, and the horse went down. Glennou sprang for it's head as the animal leaped out of the broken shafts.
 It flung the polio enan against a telegraph pole but he gamely hung on, and seizing the horse firmly about the neck, went down on the curb with the animal and stuck until the horse was subdued with the assist ance of other passersby.

The Real Need.

In negro households, especially in communities where negroes form q large portion of the population, it ire quently happens that the woman is the head of the family, being not only the breadwinner. but also the discipli- marian, and in that capacity on occa- sions she regards her putative lord and master as subject to her will. This at least was the assumption of the col ored woman who was a party to a lit tie scene enacted in the office of a jus tice of the peace.
 A man had been arrested on the charge of beating and cruelty misus ing his wife. After hearing the charge against the prisoner the justice turned to the first witness.
 Madam he said, eff this man were your husband and had given you a beating would you call in the police?'
 The woman addressed, a veritable amazon in size and aggressiveness, turned a smiling countenance toward the justice and answered:
 ''No, jedge. If he was nah husban' an he treated me lak he did is wife An wouldn't call no p'liceman. No, sah; And call de undertaken" - Youths Companion.

Facts About Giants,

That very few of the giants wht have ever lived have been healthy or well formed recent researches prove beyond a doubt. All we know about Goliath is that he was very tall; but iD the second book of Kings we read about another giant, who had more fingers than an ordinary human bein. and, according to modern scientists this is invariably a token of degen eracy Marcel Donna1 saw at Milan 8 giant who was so tall that his body filled two beds at night, but whose legs were so weak that he could hard 'ly stand upright. William Evans. the gigantic porter of Charles l., had little strength, and CromWellis porter, an other giant, ended his days in luna tic asylum. Finally, O'Brien, the Irish giant, has been described as "an enor nous sick child who grew up toe fast.''

Especial from United Press.)


 Hartford, Oct. 3.-When the conven- tion of 300 delegates from local and central labor unions throughout the State to consider political action to protect labor's interests, opened today, rumors were rife of a Socialist coup to secure from the convention an en- dorsen1ent of their party of plan to oust President of the State Federation Charles Donahue, and of probable new labor party in Connecticut.
 The air of uncertainty and impend- ing political change was deep when with great solemnity Temporary Chair man T. M. Crowley of Hartford ap- pointed a committee on credentials who were instructed lon account of the importance of this convention to carefully inspect the credentials of every delegate
 The credentials committee was made up of Fred Greube, New Haven; wal ter Spa1ding, Hartford; Robert w. Bar bury, and Charles B. Leonard, Hart ford.
 The convention adjourned until 1:30 to await the report of the committee. Several delegates have avowedly come to the convention to rally the delegates to the Socialist standard. ! New Ha- ven has sent all Socialist delegates and these will lead the fight for that party. Armed with statistics gath cred by the State organization and showing the old parties records on labor legislation. the Socialist trade unionists will demand that the con- vention go on record against once more entrusting them with labor 1egisla- tive program. As a result today's convention is being closely watched by politicians throughout the State.

No Pure Water.

Owing to the extremely solvent pow CTS, pure water is never found in na- ture, the nearest approach being found in rainwater, which, as it is formed in the upper regions of the atmosphere, is the purest that nature supplies, but in descending it brings with it what ever impurities are floating near the surface, which in the neighborhood of cities are always numerous; hence per fectly pure water is hardly to be found, even the artifcia1ly distilled being only approximately so.
