LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor Evening Farmer Sir;-
 The early spring vegetables are now appearing in great profusion in the local markets and 1t would appear that every scrap of green relishes would be eagerly purchased by the local marketmen from the truck gar deners of the surrounding territory, thus getting the cream of the early productions and of the freshest and most pa1atab1e kind for their custom CTS. Inconsistent though 1t may seem, not a day passes without a shipment of from 80 to 50 barrels, crates, bask- cts and boxes of the choicest early spring vegetables from Stratford to points so to 100 miles from here. Daily shipments are made from Strat- ford to Torrfngton. Winsted, Norfolk and other points in the northwestern part of the state where the season is a little later than here. These ship ments have been wondered at and have caused. quite a little comment by commuters passing through Stratfori1 and the general conclusion is that Bridgeport marketrnen should patron ize home industry as well as their customers. The marketmen buy in large quantities from dealers in New York, New Jersey, Long Island, Della ware, Maryland and even far off Vir- ginia- The stuff is packed tightly in barrels and boxes, transported by ratl 11AO WdeSA anu JuiAA e@A oesiAe. 9O oA ten that by the time it reaches Bridge port 1t is in a sad state of delapida- tion. In some of the large local markets men are employed doing nothing else but p1ucking off the with cred and flag ends of the vegetables to freshen them up a. bit before being put on sale. The need of public market in one of the squares or wide streets of East Bridgeport Or in the West End is well shown in this condi- ton of affairs for if such public in stitution was once established it would quickly become so popular among Bridgeport housewives, who would thus be enabled to purchase all classes of fresh table vegetables, poultry, and other eatabIes, all made in Bridge port" that the importation of tthese comm odities from other States would soon be 8. thing of the past.

The law states that the rear light shall show red and that the rear marker shall be illuminated so that 1t may be seen at a, distance of sixty feet. Ofacer Beebe has reported that some of the rear lights have not even been lighted and that some of them are so smoked up that the marker cannot be seen.

Il Powerful Story Of Adventure Intrigue and Lone

the single chair near the end Of the
desk, and there seated himself me-
Chemically. His face thus was turned
toward the windows that gave on the
corridor, and his eyes grew yet more
clouded as they rested on the grim
doors Of the cells. He writhed in his
chair, and his gaze jumped from the
cells to the impassive figure Of the
man at the desk. Now, the forger's
nervousness increased momently-it
swept beyond his control. Of a sud
den, he sprang up, and stepped close
TO the inspector.
The Door Changed To.
Say" he said in husky voice, I'D
like-Pd like to have lawyer"
What's the matter with you, Joe?''
the inspector returned, always with
that imperturbable air, and without
raising his head from the work that
so engrossed his attention. you
know you're not arrested, Joe. Maybe,
you never win be. Now for the love
Of Mike, keep still, and let me finish
this letter"
Slowly, very hesitatingly, Carson
went back to the chair and sank
down on it in a limp attitude Of de-
lection wholly unlike his customary
posture of strength. Again, his fear
fascinated eyes went to the row OF
cells that stood silently menacing on
the other side of the corridor beyond
the windows. His face was tinged
with gray. A physical sickness was
creeping stealthily on him, as his
thoughts held insistently to the catas-
/ ys4n
gence was too keen to permit a be-
lief that Burke's manner of almost
fulsome kindness hid nothing omi-
nous-ominous with a hint of death
for him in return for the death he
had wrought.
Then terror crystallized. His eyes
were caught by figure, the figure of
Cassidy advancing there in the cor
ridor. And with the detective went a
man whose gait was Sinking, craven.
A cell door swung open, the prisoner
stepped within, the door changed to,
the bolts shot into their sockets nois-
lily.
Carson sat huddled, stricken for he
had recognized the victim thrust into
the cell before his eyes. It
was Dacey, one of his own cronies in
crime-Dacey, who, the night before
had seen him kill Eddie Griggs. There
was something concretely sinister to
Carson in this fact of Daceys pres
ence there in the cell.
OF a sudden, the forger cried out
rauCously:
Say. Inspector, if you've got any
thing on me, II would" The
cry dropped into unintelligible numb
blings.
Burke retained his manner of Sc
rene indifference to the others agi-
tation. Still his pen hurried over
the paper; and he did not trouble to
look up as he expostulated, half ban
teringly
Now, now! what's the matter with
you, Joe? 1 told you that I wanted to
ask you a few questions. That's ALL"
Carson leaped to his feet again
resolutely, then faltered and ulti-
mately fell back into the chair with
a groan, as the Inspector went on
speaking
Now, Joe, sit down, and keep still,
/ tell you, and let me get through
with this job. 1t won't take me more
than a minute more"
But after a moment Garson's emo
ton forced him to another appeal.
Say, Inspector" he began.
