She was i'll what horscmen call a
pocket There was so much traf-
nc on both sides of the express
wagon that it was not possible for
her 10 get away.
The driver roared again, scowling
hideousiy AT the girl:
Git out o that, will yer? Wanta
be ruined over!"
Why, the blackguard! He will
run over her" gasped Jack.
He darted toward the girl. A
street-car got in his way. Never
mind He must keep on! Would it
bee too late to help her? 1t seemed
so.
The express driver was swearing
like pirate. Evidently he was no,
sober. Indeed, he was what is ex.
pressively termed ugly drunk
Jack lodged the street-car. The
fender -craped his heel. He had al.
most reached the girl. No! Too

her!

couldn't, with that slim, wiry hand
holding the bride.
The driver emitted profane grun,
of astonishment. Dazed already by
the liquor boiling in him, he could
not believe that that slip of a girl
had been able to check one of the
biggest teams in the express COM
pany's stables.

AS soon as the girl released the
bride he drove on, convinced that he
was the victim OF delirium tremens.
She shot quizzical glance at the
bewildered man on the high scat and
walked on. Jack Ladd was by her
side as she reached the sidewalk.
She turned and smiled.
1t was then that he got the first
good look at her face. She was The
girl of No. 81!
He was embarrassed She was moi.
Thank you." size said in The
silvery tones that hal impressed h,m
the night before.

CHAPTER Nv.
GETTING In DEEPER.

Jack read the story of the robbery
under the heading. 1t was very much
like two or three others that had
appeared in the newspapers within a
week. r,
Thieves had entered the house of a
well-to-do merchant III a quiet thor
oughfare while the family was at din
ner. The house was i'll the neighbor-
hood removed from that in which
other robberies Of the kind had taken
place. But the methods were those
Of the desperadoes whose operations
in the Paramount Park region had
put householders on the defensive.
The whole second floor of the
merchant had been ransacked. The
strength OF the porch-climbers had
been shown in the noiseless removal
from its place of massive furniture,
and the placing of it against doors to
prevent surprise. This had been a
feature OF all the Fairmount Park
deprcdations.
There were no ridges on the car,
pets such as must have been made
by the casters had the ponderous
bedsteads and bureaus been wheeled
across the floor. Beyond question
they had been lifted bodily and car
ried from one spot to another. Sew.
eral thousand dollars worth OF Jew.
elry had been taken.
The newspaper story wound up
with the usual statement that the
police had clue which would lead
to arrests very soon; indeed, the
thieves might be behind the bars be-
fore the paper reached the hands OF
its readers in the morning.
II should like to know whether
this is just police bluff or something
solid ruminatcd Jack as he folded
up the paper. IF anybody was ar.
rested last nigh, il wasn't these
people in No. ~. They were at home
at two o'clock, know. If the police
had come afterwards there would
have been fuss enough ~ wake W
somebody. Mother would never
have slept through ii, anyhow"
Jack was fifteen minutes late as he
entered the shipyards and the time
keeper SO recorded him. But Jack
didn't care. His mind was SO full oi
the burglary and, its possible connec.
tiop with the family At No. 80 tha,
he could, not think Of anything else.
All the other clerks were in their

Next door! muttered Jack
"That means u.s."
He put his head little way ou,
Of the window and looked down.
Four persons were outside the
gate of No. 90. Two of them were
fumbline on the ground. The heads
of the others were bent as they also
looked about the sidewalk. But hard
as it was to recognize them under
these circumstances Jack knew that
they were the family next door.
Here they are, right under your
nose," said the stocky man.
He hal picked up bunch of keys
from the ground. Jack heard them
rattle and knew what they were at
once.
"Now, come in, quick" went on
the man. wv dent want any one
to see uS.
He had opened the gate of No. ~
and was going up the steps 10 the
porch, followed ly he others.
Those keys falling on the stones
made racket enough TO wake up the
whole street," observed the boy.
We'll, l couldn't help it. I'm
nervous. That wasn'l AN easy thing
we did tonight"
That's true enough" assented the
girl. Il was glad to see you come
out alive"
well, we have to take risks in our
business" was the grim response.
CT A. 4
OF No. % and all four went in. The
door closed softly, nd the strange
house bore the look of desertion that
it had worn for six months past.
"Gee!" calculated Jack Ladd with
q deep inspiration.
For ten minutes he continued to
lean out of the window, thinking.
Then he drew in his head, undressed
m the dark, and went to bed.
II don't believe III Sleep" he said
dismally as he tumbled in.
But his mother had to call him
half dozen times in the morning.
He did not remember anything after
his head had touched the pillow. His
father md Laura had gone before he
had half done his breakfast.
I'm afraid you're getting lazy,
john" observed his mother. You
went to bed as early as / did"
Jack cid not reply, but he though,
OF how he had sat up ill two in the
morning, and resolved to have it out
with his father during the day.
AS he seated himself in the car on
his way to the shpyards he opened
out his newspaper on his knee. The
first headline on the front page that
caught his eye vas

for reasons Of his own"
"Cno,l -enc,,nc, ,"

Tor reasons Of his own"
Good reasuns!"
"'rhey seem TO be good for him,
was the short reply. Hello! Here's
our luncheon; pitch in! You look
hungry"
If he meant that Jack looked
hungry for information, he had hit
on the truth. For corned beef and
cabbage the young man had no
special craving. But it was apparent
that Mr.. Ladd did not mean to say
any more about the family next
door. So Jack attacked his luncheon
in silence. Suddenly his father broke
out:
Jack"
"Yes?"
"You won't say anything to your
mother about seeing me in that
house, of course"
Certainly not"
"Thats right. She doesn't suspec,
it. and I'm glad. III tell you that !
was there for perfectly legitimate
and innocent purpose. But it nigh
be hard to make her believe IT."
That's so.' returned Jack dryly.
'rhcn he asked, with some cmbar-
rassmcnt: They are not burglars
,rc ihey?"
A strange smile stole over Mr.
lhomas l.adds expansive counter
rec as lie said Slowly:

at home. But don't you make any
such dangerous assertions, Jack,
either at home or elsewhere. That's
all"
This time Mr.. Ladd really did cut
off the subject. Nothing more was
said between them about No 2s
Teak Street nor the people who lived
there,
Father and son disposed of then
luncheon. In due time the forme,
went back to bloom, in his official
conservatory, while Jack, inclined to
be sleepy, pored over his books and
longed for half past five. when he
would be through for the day.
Going home that afternoon, Jack
got off the car a few blocks from,
Teak Street. He felt as if the walk
might freshen him up. The lassrtude
which comes from loss of regular
rest had beset him all day.
Thinking over he curious Incl
dents of the night before, he strodc
on mechanically. Suddenly he was
startled by hearing coarse voice
behind h,m below: ~
Look out there! Where ye'

ITALIAN FORCES
 NEAR VILLAGE
Move Intended to Off. set Jugo- -Slav
 Action.

Rome, June 16-Italian forces are a dvancing on the Villach- -Sanvito line, on the frontier between Italy and Jugo-S1avia, 1t is announced. This movement is intended to counterac- ton of the Jugo-Slavas in the Klag- enfurt region, in the Austrian pro- vince of Carinthia, where they at tackled the German-Austrian, it is said without 'plausible reason" and only because they wished to take possession of Klagenfurt despite the decision of the peace conference"
 The region of Klagenfurt was, ac- cording to a decision reached at Paris, to be a neutral zone and the popula- tion was to decide its own fate by a p1ebiscite. The semi official explana- ton of the Italian advance says:
 'The Jugo-Slavs wished to occupy Klagenfurt to interfere by force in the self determination of the people and, besides intended to control all railway communication between Triest and the Hinterland. They suc- ceeded in this last design, with the exception of the line to Villach which is in the hands of the Italians"

CAR STRIKE ON
 ! IN LOWELL
Thousands of Mill Opera tives Forced to Walk to
 Work.

Lowell, June 16-Thousands of cotton mill operatives and store em- p1oyes found themselves forced to walk to work today on account of a strike of the BPS carmen of the Low ell division of the Bay State street Railway Go. All lines sof the com pany in the city, including those run ming to Boston, Lawrence and Ma shua, N. H., were tied up.
 The strike Is declared by carmen's s union officers to be a protest against the action of the company in putting cars into service for the summer in connection with the use of a hand register for the fares. = Men claim that the use of the register on open cars endangers their lives as they are compelled to carry the register in one hand when they should have both hands free in moving along the run ming board. Company officials insist that the conductors overstate the danger and say that the register has been used for years in other parts of the company's system, notably in New Bedford and Providence. R, T., with out any special increase in the mum Der of accidents.

TO TRY SUIT
 ABOUT BULLETS
Remington Arms Go. Claims Munitions Made Were
 Defective.

The s40.000 suit brought by the Rem ington Arms Co. against the Gaynor Manufacturing Co. of Stratford result
 ing in a dispute over a contract for the making of bullets during the war, is assigned for trial in the Superior court on Wednesday. The Gaynor Go. has filed a counter claim for s1o0, 900 damages and will fight the case.
 A contract was made in 1915 by which the Gaynor Co. was to make bullets for the Remington Go. It is claimed that s20,000 was loaned to the Stratford concern to help finance the contract. Of the 5,073.S55 bullets made the Remington Co. said 2,254, 1895 were defective. For that reason the Rem tngton Co., cancelled the contract in August, 1916.
 The Gaynor Co. says that it was un- derstood that it was to try and make bullets by a new process and the $20,0O0 was loaned for the purchase of new machinery. It is claimed that the Remington Go. waived perform ance of the original contract as it was understood that the ne& process was merely being tried.

REvOL UTI0N
 IN NEW PHASE
General Situation in Costa
 Rica is Serious. l

Washington, June 16.---The revolu- ton against the Tinoco government in Costa Tdca. has entered a new phase, according to despatches today to the state department. Outbreaks have occurred in San Jose, the cap ital. and the general situation was de- clared as serious.
 American forces on the gunboa4 Castine, now at Port Iimon, are held in readiness and can be landed at moments notice, 1t was said. The commander of the ship, however, has been instructed not to act without specific instructions from Washing ton.
 Disquieting despatches concerning the situation in Costa Rica were re-. ceived today at the state department. No details were made public, but off, cials said conditions were such that 1t would not be surprising if the neces, sity for action by the American gov. ernment should arise.

Meanwhile the aviators, tired but happy. are on their way to London and may reach here tomorrow. Both are well, but Lieut.. Brown, the navf- gator of the plane, suffered bruises on the nose and face when the ma chine landed in a. bog. The bfplane was badly damaged and may have to be dismantled.
 Features of the trip were the car rying of the first aerial mail across the Atlantic and the transportation of two mascots, dog and a cat
 Enthusiasm over the success Of the trip has not been accompanied by any aviators encountered. Once the air men said they barely escaped being plunged into the sea when the ma chine went into a flat spin. Early in the flight the half gale in which they took off from St. Johns tore off the propeller that drove the wireless dy- namo and made radio communication impossible. At the same time, Ideu- tenant Brown said, a. stay wire broke, but of this he did not speak to his companion until they landed. Cap tain AlcocS said he would have turned back had he known this.

H. Mccarthy of San Francisco, chairman of the committee that went to Washington under direction of the convention. This declaration resulted in sharp d ebate by delegates. It started when iG E. r, Gaynor of the letter carriers aslxed if Postmaster General Burle- sons orders applied exclusively to telephone employees and added that 1ne could see no reason why all postal employees should not be given the rights as had been granted employees of the telephone systems. Mir, Me- Csrthy said that necessarily the prin- cfpIes fin Postmaster General BuFie- son's order must apply to every other organization under the pestoffiee de- partment. --
