that silence was golden.
The moment he was alone, however,

The Deadly Deeoy.
III David Marley was blindly and I'M
reasonably happy, all that day and the
next, he succeeded in keeping his hap
piness to himself. II was not a
propitious time, he knew, for the air
in; OF emotions so essentially per-
sonal. There was still shadow over
the house of Golden, a shadow which
gave small promise of passing away
until fate or accident ended the activ-
tiles of one Jules Legar. There was,
too, shadow in Manley's heart,
shadow of doubt as to how far he
was justified in accepting Margery
Golden's words as he had accepted
them. So as he talked with her the
following day he was conscious of
vague constraint which reminded him
there were still reservations to be re-
spected and condolences to be with
held.
This was brought keenly home to
Manley as Wilson carried in to the
girl sitting so close to him a sealed
note which she opened and read in
silence. That this note brought
somewhat disturbing message to her
was only too evident. And whatever
that message, 1t was equally evident,
she intended to keep it to herself.

Manley, rather dejectedly studying her
face.

Margery Golden smiled a little as
she folded up the note. She was still
smiling as she tore the paper in two,
again and still again. One small piece
of that paper futtered from her fingers
and fell half way between her and the
still frowning young secretary. He
stared down at it cautiously, almost
sullenly. Then his eyes slowly
widened, for clearly inscribed on that
scrap of paper he saw one-half of the
sign of the Laughing Mask.
She then walked slowly across to
the open fire and tossed into it the
note which she had already torn into
fragments.

SHRINKING WILL
 BE PAID OUT OF GENERAL TAXES
Public Hearing Tonight on Proposal to Treat 59
 Miles of Streets.

After this year the Republican ad- ministration plans to pay for the street sprinkling. both oil and water, by general taxation instead of special assessment against the property own CTS as is the custom now. Tonight there will be public hearing on the proposition to sprinkle about fifty miles of Bridgeport streets with oil on the macadam streets, pavements and water on the Warrenite. and wood block and brick pavements. Although notices to appear have been sent nearly a thousand taxpayers probably only the same two property owners will be present this year who attend every hearing of this charac- ter. Only one is expected if the night is stormy. It has been the custom for the board of apportionment to allow $30,000 for street sprinkling The assessments against the property owners usually total about $3S.00 so that the system as it now prevails earns some money for the city. The proposal for next year is to sprinkle the dirt streets as we'll as the ma cadam or paved streets and assess the cost against all the property owners.
 During last summer there was only one sprinkling of oil on macadam streets because Director of Public Works Courtade used the oil sprink- ling dumps, alleys back lanes, and other places indicated by the board of health as possible places of infan- tile paralysis germs.

 An opinion of accidental death will be given by Medical Examiner Sam uel M Garlick ,who viewed the body and ordered it taken to the morgue.
 Nobody had claimed the body late this afternoon though it is believed that a brother may be located in De- troit.
 Papas, who was working as a waiter last night for Peter Lekas proprietor of a restaurant at 3s9 Water St., re- turned home at about 2 a. m. He left no note or other indication that he planned suicide. His reputation was considered excellent in the house where he has boarded since last Sep tember and as there is no slot meter at the house it is believed that he must have turned on the gas by mis- take. |,

COMPENSATION
 PRECEDENT IS
 MADE BY RULING
Commissioner uckingham' $ Decision First of Kind in
 Country.

In a ruling handed down today by Compensation Commissioner Edward T. Buckingham of Fairfield county, which denies illegitimate dependent children participation in the amount provided under the compensation law when legitimate children are also de- pendent a precedent has been estab- lished in this state. As far as can be learned no similar case is found upon the records of other states in America now having compensation laws.
 That the English laws, upon which the American acts were based are not to be considered by. judges in this state as regards illegitirnacy is made clear in the ruling which fol- lowed extensive arguments before the court.
 As a result of the decision. Walter M. Shaw, a conductor, of the Connecti- cut Co.,, killed by trolley car at Ash Creek bridge, Feb. 25, 1916, is found to have been a bigamist, Roselyn Pearl Shaw of Providence. R. l., is found to have lived with Shaw in the absence of testimony other than that offered the court and her daughter. Alma Virginia Shaw, declared illegi- innate, is debarred from participating in the benefits of compensation.
 Margaret Shaw and Pearl Shaw, two children of Sallie Elizabeth Hobbs, who was legally married to Shaw at Elizabeth City, N C.. Sept g, 1908, are granted compensation at the rate of s7.5o per week for period of 312 weeks, with the statutory burial ex- penses of $100.
