 Estada had already swung himself up into the chains, while Anderson and Mendez were lifting the girl to her feet, and rather roughly urging her forward. Her eyes reflected all the unutterable horror which for the moment dominated her mind, while her loOsened hair, disarranged by struggle, only served to intensity the pallOr of her face.
 Hustle her along lively, boys" shouted back Estada coarsely. "If she won't move, give her a shove. Then tie her up again, and take the turn of a rope round her. What do you think this is-a queens reception? Move lively, senorita." in mock sarcasm. Her gaze settled on him, where he hung far out, grasping a backstay, watching the movements below, and her slender form strengthened as by the acquisition of new strength.
 If these creatures will take their hands off me-" she said, using their tongue without a tremor in the clear voice. ''I can easily go up alone. What is it you are so afraid of-a woman?'

Big Shortage of
 Women Servants
 in England Today

London, March 18-Demobinzati ton is returning men servants to England in ever increasing numbers and the wealthy householder has no difficult ty now in hiring butler, footman, groom, chauffeur or page boy The shortage of women servants, however daily becomes more acute. Unlike the women, the men hays no objec- ton to returning to their old indoor domestic jobs. The reason, according to a West End Employment agency manager, is that the male indoor ser want is chosen mainly for decorative purposes-the women do the work.
 Parlor maids are now demanding the salary of a trained typist. Some are highly particular about hours. quality of food and condition of ern- pIOyment. One notified an agency she would work only from to 5, with time off for meals.
 It is said that the pre-war mistress is prepared now to be much more constderate of her servants than she was in the old days.

Heavy Demand This Morn ing Splendid Program
 Prepared.

The largest seat sale in recent years of the Bridgeport Chautauqua assembly was registered this morning the stormy weather.
 As this selection of reserved seats Is invariably followed by a still larg- CT sale after the drawing it seems cer- tain that the assembly this year will have an unprecedented attendance
 There is every reason to believe that this will be so in view of the favor able comment being heard on all sides as to the calibre of the speak CTS and musical numbers
 Not often have two such notable organiza as the Lotus Male Quartet and the Kaltenborn String Quartet appeared on the same Chau- tauqua program. These organiza- tions give two recItals each. the Kaltenborn, Tuesday, March 25th, at 2:30 and again at s p. m., and the Lotus Quartet. Friday March 2S at the same hours.
 The committee in charge of the seat assignment wish it to be known that the very heavy demand for seats this morning necessarily diminishes the number of good seats now re- mainiug, but there are still many choice seats for those who make an early selection.
 The chart and sale of tickets is now in the hands of Chamberlin & Shrop- shire stationers on Cannon street.
