UNIFORM RATE FOR CURRENT
 IS DEMANDED
Aldermanic Committee on Light ing Desires the United IlIumi- hating Company to Explain its High Prices

The Board of Apportionment failed in its attempt to bring to head the campaign carried on by its members for a uniform rate for electricity fur nished to the city in it's various de- partments and buildings, but the al- dermanic committee on street lighting took the bull by the horns, last night. and voted to request the United Illu- minating Co. to send representative to meet the committee. next Wednes- day night, and explain why the city cannot be treated like one customer.
 Chairman James J. Conlin of the lamp committee said this morning: 'The city Is paying two much money for lights It is perhaps the largest customer of the company using in candescent lamps. City Auditor Keat- ing, I understand, has spoken to Supt. Paul several times about giving the city a uniform and lower rate. but has never been able to get an answer from him. The lamp committee is going to get all of the bills of last year and ascertain how much the city is paying for lighting. At present no one real ly knows how much the United Illu- minating co. is getting out of the city. From what we can learn each and every department is treated like a separate customer and has to pay the same rate as paid by the smallest customer. The figures of the amount that the city is paying for incandes- cent lights may startle some Of our citizens
 The lamp committee of the council has never before taken up the ques- tion of lighting outside of street light ing but because of the many com plaints it has received from depart ment heads and the apparent indiffer- ence of the local management about considering the city as a large GUS toner, has led the committee to take up the matter.
 The members of the committee are Aldermen Conlin, Garrity, Cassidy,
 If the committee can secure the city the advantage of all it's departments being treated as one customer there is some probability of the committee de- ciding to use 100 or more tungsten lamps for street purposes. But if the company continues to treat the city as several customers it is quite likely that the idea of using the tungsten lamps will be given up. One place where the high prices charged by the United Illuminating Co. was brought vividly to the notice of the lamp com mittee is in connection with the man. ner that the company charges for the of Congress street bridge. The sum of $500 is estimated. and is said to be too high, by the aldermen. The company claims that the amount can- not be reduced because of the manner in which it has wired the bridge.

WAS WELL BEHAVED
 AND LADY-lIkE
Report of Voluntary Wealth CT Observer Shows Only One Unusual Event.

February was a well behaved. lamb- like month, as Februaries go. Ac- cording to the report of Voluntary Weather Observer William Jennings the temperature was very close to the average, with no great maximum or minimum.
 February's only offence that served to attract attention was a thunder storm on the 4th. Aside from this, the month was positively lady-like.
 The hottest day of the month was the 18th. when the mercury hit g de- grees. The warmest day in any Feb ruary during the past 39 years was 67.
 The coldest day during the past month was the 22d. when the ther- mometer nestled around the degree mark. That was nothing compared to that famous day when it was Il degrees below zero.-some time during the past 39 Februaries.
 The mean temperature was 2s5 The greatest daily range was Ss de- gress on the 18th. and the least daily range was 8 degrees on the End and 20th.

Among the vendors of society gos. sip the story is going the rounds that Mrs. Alfred Werner who as the daughter of Giovanni Morissini, one time partner of the late Jay Gould, was reputed to be the best dressed woman in New York as we'll as one of it's most beautiful, has paid $9O,000 to her husbands first wife as a balm to her aggrieved feelings. Werner was a former New York policeman and won the admiration of Miss Nor issini several years ago by stopping a team of runaway horses which she was driving along the Harlem River Speedway. He had a pretty little wife who had shared his trials and troubles when as young policeman he was seeking to earn the good will of his superiors. Werner divorced her subsequently, and it is said she is dis posed to ascribe to the heiress the loss of her influence with him. To mollify the former wife and offset any possible claim that she might be prompted to make by the realization of the fact that her successor ls worth S1,000,000 or more, tl.e payment of $90,00O it is said was made shortly after the couples marriage recently This will insure her against suffering any hardships as result of the with drawal of her former husbands sup port and enable her to live the rest of her life in comparative indepen- dence.

none of Cayley's shots could have &C
counted for. he explored with prac-
tised hand.
Watching him as he did so, the
girl could see that he had found some
thing unexpected, something which
surprised him greatly. And there
was more than surprise. There was
alarmed urgency in his voice when no
spoke to her. He offered no explana-
ton. Merely told her to 90 into the
hut and make fast the solid wooden
shutters over the windows. He would
come In and would tell her what 1t
was all about, in q moment.
The girl had hardly finished the
task he had given her, when he came
in. In his b~lood-stained hand he was
holding out something for her inspeo-
ton.
Conquering a feeling of repugnance,
she bent over the hand, cast one
glance at the thing 1t contained and
then started up and gazed, wide-eyed.

to put 1t into commission again.
Then, with the rife over his shout
der, he staggered out of the cave.
With his first glance abroad, he
started. His devil was being kind to
him today. There could be no doubt
Of that. Only, was he being too kind?
Roscoe wondered a little uneasily.
For, shambling along the ice, through
the thickening twilight, not 100 PAGES
away, was a big bear. Roscoe was
tired OF walrus meat. The thought of
a bear steak made his mouth water.
Three years disuse, however, had
made his craftsmanship somewhat
uncertain. He fred too soon, and
though he did not miss, the only ef-
feet his shot had was to make the
bear urn about and go shambling
down the glacier toward the beach,
with ungainly haste. Roscoe hurried
after him, and fired two more shots.
Whether they hit or not. he could not
tell. Certainly they did not serve to
check the bears flight. The next mo-
ment he had rounded the corner OF
the cliff and disappeared down the
beach in the direction Of the u
Roscoe hesitated, but only for a
moment; then. with an oath, he set
out in pursuit. 1t was not SO much
the protection which the rifle afforded
him that was responsible for this new
courage as 1t was that the mere feel
of 1t In his hands brought him back
in touch once more with the every
day matter Of fact world, and made
his visions and ghosts seem a little
unreal.
It was fully dark down here in the
shadow Of the cliff. The numbering vel
low shape of the bear was indistin-
guishable against the Icy beach. That
didn't matter, for he could follow
along well enough by the bloody
tracks the wounded beast had left.
The last Of the twilight was still in
the sky. and half his glances were
directed thither, looking for some
thing which he told himself could not
possibly exist, except in his own
fancy, yet fully expected to see never
theless, the shadow Of Cayley's great
wings. And at last he saw 1t i'm
pending in the lower air, like a brood
ing spirit. Just above the tiny square
of light which marked the location Of
the hut.
Roscoe abandoned his pursuit Of the
bear; all thought Of 1t, in fact, was
gone from his mind: but he did not,
as on a former occasion, drop down
prone upon the ground, his face buried
IN his arma. nor did he turn and fee
like one hag-ridden up the beach. He

1t was high time. His face was
frozen already. The intensity of the
cold had already rendered his rifle
useless, for the whole mechanism OF

or two. It was . dtsouieting thought

faltered, 1t is true, and his knees
trembled beneath him. and yet, slow.
~ and with many pauses he made his
way forward.
He was horribly afraid all the time,
but curiosity was all the while over
towering fear. He was not more than
200 yards away when Cayley alighted
beside the girl.
At what he saw then, Roscoe
dropped his rifle on the beach, with q
whispered oath. and rubbed his eyes.
The light which difused itself from
the open window Of the hut was not
much, but It was enough to reveal the
fact , that this great man-bird, this
golden-w1nged spirit which had kept
him in terror for his own sanity all
these months, was taking OF his wings
and folding them up into a bundle. In

he had seen before and would have
killed long ago had it not been for his
over-mastering terror Of the thing

He presented q fair mark now. and
was in easy range. but Roscoe was too
thoroughly a%stonished to seize the OPP
portunity. and in q moment It was
gone again. The two figures shrank
into the shadow Of the hut, and the
next moment the light disappeared.
