PRETTY GIRL IS FINED IN COURT
 MAKES APPEAL

Because she denies that she was at fault for the accident, pretty Marion Perry, aged IS, of Norwalk, appealed her case when she was fined S10 and costs by Judge r. A. Bartlett in the police court, today, on charge of evading responsibility ip a highway collision.
 The girl, who is employed at the Western Union Telegraph office in her town, was arrested for failing to stop to ascertain what damage had been done after the six-cylinder Buick car she was driving had collided with jitney, about a month ago. The ac- cident occurred on Penn broke street, near Barnum avenue, and though the jitney was quite badly damaged, nc one was, hurt.
 Miss Perry told Judge Bartlett that she stopped her car as soon as she had regained control of it after the crash. She did so. however, in the expectation that the jitney driver would come to see what damage he had done. since she believed he was responsible for the accident.

Will Rebuke Social
 Workers Who Attack
 Morals of Army Life

Washington, Dec. R.-Vigorous re- pudiation of those social workers who are inclined to think of military service as an incubator of immor- ality," is contained in the annual re- port of Surgeon General Braisted of the navy, made public today. The only statistics in this connection that can be relied on, the report says, are those of the military services, leading to the inevitable result that ''the per- sonnel of the services appear in a bad light
 There is no available standard of comparison for civilian population" Dr. Braisted continues The fierce light of, publicity beats upon the men of the army and the navy and no definite statistics can be set forth contrasting male civilians with them"

DANCE AT ARMORY

The boys of the Sanitary detachment of Bridgeport who left here last July under the colors are returning to give a farewell dance at the Armory, Sat urday evening, Dec. Is. The music for this affair will be " nished by the Coast Artillery band who will lead the boys in the parade before the dance The proceeds of this dance will be devoted to creating & mess fund for the boys supplying then with such comforts as it may be pos sible to secure. This is very worthy cause, particularly as nothing has been contributed by Bridgeport to this branch of the service and as they are about to leave for active fighting, it becomes a patriotic duty to give them all the financial support possi- ble.

CAR
 IN COLLISION

Several passengers were slightly cut by flying pieces of glass, and others were shaken up and badly frightened when two trolley cars collided, head on, at the trolley express siding on Water street, late last night. The cars, were quite badly damaged, their front vestibules being almost demol- ished and both trolleys had to be towed to the barns.

1t was plain that Phil put complete
faith in his powers Of diyination, and
at this moment his earnestness carried
Il certain degree of conviction. Dave
made an effort to clear his tired brain.
"Very we'll" he said. "If you're so

II anybody has dared to" He drew
n deep breath and his listlessness van

their customary fire. 81 reckon I've
got one punch left in me-" He turned
and strobe TO his room.
As Dave changed into his service
clothes he was surprised to feel new
vigor in his limbs and new strength
Of purpose in his mind. When he stood
in his old boots and felt the familiar
drag of his cartrldge-belt, when he
tested his free muscles, he realized
that lie was another man. Even yet
he could not put much faith in Phil
Strunge's words-nevertheless there
might be danger threatening Alaire

Phil watched his friend saddle the

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Surprise.

- ONN Pia9N"
Law found 1t good to feel a horse
between his knees He had not realized
until now how long Montrosu's saddle
had been empty. The sun was hot and
friendly, the breeze was sweet in his
nostrils as he swept past the smiling
fields and out into the mesquite cOun-
try. Heat waves danced above the
patches of bare ground; insects sang
noislly from every side; far ahead the
road ran a wavering course through a
deceitful mirage Of rippling ponds. II
was all familiar, pleasant; It was
home. With every mile he covered his
strength and courage increased.
Such changes had come into his life
since his last visit to Las Palmas that
II gave him a feeling Of unreality to
discover no alteration in the ranch.
He had somehow felt that the build
ings would look older, that the trees
would have grown taller and 50 when
he finally came in sight of his desti-
nation he refined in to look.
Behind him he heard the hum of an
approaching motor and he turned to
behold car racing along the road he
had just Travelled. The machine was
running fast, as n long streamer Of
choking dust gave evidence. and Dave
soon recognized It as belonging to
Jonesville's prosecuting attorney. As
it tore past him its owner shouted
something, but the words were lost. In
the automobile with the driver were
several passengers, and one Of these
likewise called to Dave and seemed 10
motion him to follow. When the ma
chine slowed down a half-milc ahead
and veered abruptly into the Las Pal
mas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to
run, wondering what pressing neces-
sity could have induced the prOsecut-
ing attorney to risk such reckless
burst of speed.
Dave told himself that he was un-
duly apprehensive; that Strange's
warnings had worked upon his nerves
Nevertheless, he continued to ride so
hard that almost before the dust had
settled he. too, turned into the shade
of the palms.
Yes, there was excitement here
something was evidently very much
amiss, judging from the groups Of
ranch-hands assembled upon the porch.
They were clustered about the doors

turned their faces toward Law; then
they crowded closer. and he perceived
that they were not talking. Some of
them had removed their hats and held
them I'm their hands.
Dawes knees shook under him as he
dismounted for one sick, giddy instant
the scene swan before his eyes; then
he ran toward the house and up the
steps. He tried to frame a question.
but his lips were stiff with fright.
Needless of those in his path, he forced
his way into the house, then down the
hall toward an open door, through
which he saw n room fun Of people.
From somewhere came the shrill vail
ing of woman; the house was full of
hushed voices and whisperings. Dave
had but one thought. From the depths
of his being a voice called Alaire's
name until his brain rang with it.
A bed was in the room, and around
1t was gathered group of whlte-faced
people. With rough hands Law cleared
way for himself, and then stopped.
