 The snow storm is one of the worst The city has had during the winter and it is many years since u storm has arrived at this late season. New Britain enjoyed exceptionally good weather last Easter. It is not extra ordinary, however, for New England to be visited by a storm in April.

A tentative prediction from the weather bureau that the snow and rain might be fol- lowed by clearing weather Sunday afternoon has revived some hope of Easter parades for New Britain.

It struck in early along the Long Island sound shore and when it was showing heav- fly in the shore towns at an early hour no flakes had fallen inland. Slowly the storm progressed, and by mid-forenoon it had reached and left Meriden behind and by II o'clock was passing through the northern counties. From II a. m., when the first flakes fell in Windham county, until 1 D. m, three inches of snow had fallen and it was drifting badly. Not once in the winter did three inches of snow fall in one storm in that county. ~

But he has no plates!" Sara answered
triumphantly. He destroyed them!"
"But are you sure of that, now?" the
man inquired doubtfully. "I must be
convinced of that. How do you know
it?"
"He told me so himself!" she affirmed
conclusively.
The man showed no surprise or other
emotion at that statement. He merely
laid down the package, his Opaque eyes
on her face, and observed: Hes been
telling you about the case, them"
She colored, and took tiny bit of her
lip between her teeth as if chastising her

the man remarked gravely. "If | knew

SARA swiftly raised her troubled blue
eyes to the clock over Mr.. Green's
desk, which showed nine minutes to ten
She thought moment, then impetuously
addressed the man with question::
"You've never seen this Mr.. Pershing?'
NO." he replied; I'D like to know
about him."
Immediately with pink cheeks and in
dignation in her voice and sparkling eyes,
she told him:
Hes no more criminal than [ am!
If you should talk with him five minutes
you'd know it was ridiculous to call him
one! | suppose he's forty years old, but
he's hardly bigger than a thirteen-year-
old boy When he sits in an ordinary
chair he hooks the heels of his little boots
on the chair rung because his legs aren't
long enough to reach the floor comfort
ably. He has little round face that
never grew beard, and round palish
blue eyes that always look like a fright
ened child's. He's so timid-why, when
| went into the treasurer's Office | always
made it point to stop and speak to him,
and he was so embarrassed that he be-
haved foolishly."
"You've been talking with him good
deal, them the man suggested.
mo, not lately" she replied decisively.
"Mr. Stillman and | disagreed-very
radically. | have not been on speaking
terms with him, so naturally | have kept
out of the treasurer's Office the last two
months
Jacob Green observed: "This young
lady disagrees very radically with the
whole works here. She thinks | ought to
put in my time baking cookies, while
Stillman and the other officers put on
white aprons and hand en- out to the
men,"
Ignoring that interruption, Sara went
on impulsvely:
"Bcing timid, passive little man,
naturally he's married to big, aggressive
woman. | know her we'll enough, because
she's very active in the Woman's Club
here. | needn't go into it very much;
but she's one of those unfortunate persons
whose will is strong in proportion to the

sour and utterly selfish. It's ridiculous
to suppose poor little Pershing could con-
troll her.

you know. She simply spent more money

got so the fear of being detected was with
him all the time. When he left the Office
at night he would say, We'll, it will come
Tomorrow Last September the amount
got to be three thousand dollars. Then
he said he'd go no further. He'd let the
his hands and wait for it to happen. Then
he destroyed his plates. And when he
found last night that he had been de-
tected, he was not surprised at all. He'd
been expecting it so long that he just ac-
cepted it passively, with sort of relief"
Jacob Green tilted up his chin, thrust
his fingers through his beard from the
under side, and Observed
"If it was a relief to him, why the
devil did he lock me and Stillman in the
Vault"
The question seemed to disconcert her.
Another wave of quick color went over
her face, and she gently bit tiny piece of
her lip.
"Well" she answered lamey, "he was,
of course, a trife startled"
She looked once more at the clock
which now showed four minutes past ten,
and frowned little.
"You see, when he found he had been
detected" she resumed, pulling herself
together for the explanation But she
was interrupted by knock on the door
"Come in!" Jacob Green called impa-
tiently.
A YOUNG man thrust his head inside to
report, apologetically, that Miss Ven
ner's chauffeur was outside with a package
which he said he must deliver at once.
Bring it in, please" said Sara.
A moment later the young man re-
turned with a fancy pasteboard candy
box tied with red ribbon, which Sara
took and laid upon the table.

Mr.. Green, she resumed with greater con-
fidence: at was purely instructive He
was prepared for it and resigned to it;
yet, when it happened, he naturally SHE'D
away. Seeing you and Mr.. Stillman in
the vault, he clapped the door shut on
you instinctively and ran away"
"Nery interesting" the Government
agent remarked to her impassively; and
to Jacob Green he observed, with like inn
pdSSlNcHeSS.
"Of course, your idea was right. The
man is there"
The observation some way struck dis
agreeably on Sara's nerves. She regarded
tho man moment with puckered brows;
then turned to the figure in the swivel
chair.
so there's the whole story, MIR. Green.
It's simply one of those ridiculous affairs
that will sometimes happen. Pershing's
no more a criminal than | am. He's
merely helpless. And I'm ashamed
through and through-when | think of
all the money there is around here to be
spent for trihes-of that poor little scared
rabbit of man going on year after year
with his petty stealing and his petty coun-
terfeting, and always in mortal terror of
being caught, just to get three or four
hundred dollars year that he couldn't
keep his silly, selfish wife from spending
