Four-year-Old Bobby lives in the

kept in the cellar on a swinging shelf
quite high, beyond his reach. If his
request for bread and butter comes at
time which his careful mother con-
siders inopportune, there is nothing for
him to do but to wait her good pleas

Recently his father found him sitting

the key turned in the lock and then
the sound of Legar's quick oath OF ex-
ASPIRATION as the door knob fell loose
to the floor, In response to his tug at
il. At the same time hope rose in the
captive's heart, for he could hear the
muffied sound of knock on the outer
door. And still again the prisoner in
the closet could hear Legar's oath OF
evaporation. This was followed by
the sudden impact of the heavy wing
chair against the panels of the closet
door. That blow, repeated again and
yet again, was heavy enough to break
through the wood. But that dignitary
known as High-Collar Davis, being a
gentleman not given to inactivity in
moments OF emergency, and being suf-
ficiently persuaded of untoward pro-
ceedings behind the door which re-
fused to open to his knock, promptly
seized a fire ak from its vermilion-
painted rack in the hall, and sent 1t
crashing through the panels OF the
door which bore the numerals 307.
Legar. seeing the door giving way
before this determined onslaught, drew
his revolver and emptied it into the
half demolished closet door even as he
backed away across the room to tho
open window There he followed his
already vanishing accomplices out on
the fire escape, swarming down the
narrow ladder after them as the outer
door OF the room gave way and
headed by High-Collar Davis, came
tumbling into the room.

TO ENLARGE FREIGHT
CUT AT BOSTON.
Will Call for Expenditure Of $4,000
and Require Eight Months to Com
pIete.

The New York, new Haven and
Hartford Railroad company has sub
mitted plans for approval to the Bos-
ton authorities calling for the enlarge
ment of the cut leading to the freight
terminals at Boston. The proposed
work will call for an expenditure Of
1929, 900, and the directors of the New
Haven have authorized this improve
ment.
The present cut is a two track en-
trance to the freight yards. The build
ing Of the Commonwealth Pier and
The Fish Pier and the enormous
growth of business in Boston since the
present cut was built, many years ago,
have neCessitated the enlargement
planned. The cut when improvements
are completed will be for four tracks
The clearances, both lateral and YER
icaI will be enlarged considerable
The increased size Of equipment and
locomotives make it necessary to allow
more room than was considered sUffi-
:ient when the present cut was built
The work will require about eight
months to complete. Work will start
IS quickly as possible after details
have been arranged with the repre-
5entatiVes Of the city.
The enlargement of this cut, max
ng it a four track entrance instead of
TWO tracks as at present, will p7ateri-
lilly add to Boston freight facilities
The commonwealth DEVELOPMENT cen
:ering around Commonwealth Pier
has greatly increased the business of
his territory, and the directors feel
hat the prospective increase is such
hat this work must be undertaken
Immediately in order to give this ter
,itory the facilities it requires.
