A large pane of glass had beer

red, up went the shade with snap
to the very top, giving a full view oi
the interior of the room. At the
same instant the fragments of glass
fell to the stone walk in the yard
with an awful racket.
The shade being up, Jack saw tina,
Il was one of the policemen, who
had been hurled against the window
and that Mr.. Thomas Ladd, in spar.
ring attitude, was following him up
Il was perfectly clear that his father
had landed a smashing left straigh,
from the shoulder which had sen,
the policeman through the glass and
caused the linen shade to shoot to
The top of the window.
With thrill of pride Jack noted
that his father looked every inch a
fighter, as he stood there with the
light of three gas-jets full upon his
face, ready to meet another attack.
There seemed 70 be nobody else in
the room.
The momentary spell into which
the rapidly following incidents of the
past few seconds had thrown the
young man was dispelled in an unex-
pected way-by 4 Mortified scream
from the street.
"Wowi There's motherl" he
sasped.
1t was too true. That good lady,
walking with Laura quietly down
Teak Street on her return from the
committee meeting, had heard a
crash as they reached their own
gate. 1t was the smashing of the
window.
She rushed forward to see what il
meant. She was just in time to see
the window-shade fly up and to be-.
hold her highly respectable husband,
one Of the most digniied and trusted
executives at the shipyards, sparrine
at man he had knocked backward
and evidently eager for more strife.
1t was horriblel But that was no,
all
On the roof of the porch was her
only son, young man of hitherto
unblemished character, apparently
trying to break into the house
through darkened window.
And all this in the mysterious
house, No. %, which, she was firmly
convinced, harbored a band of des.

"That never occurred to me-"
Thanks"
II knew the window of that other
room was open and that you must
have heard your fathers voice as
we'll as all that noise"
The GOODNESS of this girl was mex
plicable. AS she stood there, shading
her eyes from the lamp-light with
one hand and looking quizzically at
Jack Ladd, she seemed to be rather
amused. Certainly she was not en-
barrassed.
Could she be used to such extra
ordinary situations? She might have
been, judging by her calm attitude.
Jack did not attempt to answer the
question. He replied to her last
words with:
II did hear my father, as you say.
He was shouting, and I felt sure,
from his tone and what he said, as
we'll as from what the other man re-
piled, that there was a fight going
on. l didn't know what he was in
this house for. don't know now.
But when / thought he was in
trouble of some sort wanted to get
in and help him."
"Wery naturali"
She said this as composedly as II
he had just remarked that he liked
beefsteak when he was hungry. He
went on:

there came that smash in the other
room and the shade flew up. l saw

policeman"
He is policeman"
well, what is my father doing
here? Are they going to arrest him7"
II don't think So"
Her smile was more battling than
ever. If she hadn't been so pretty
Jack felt that he would have taken
her by the shoulders and shaken her.
He did not reflect just then that he
might have found such a feat difficult
with girl who could lift a piano,
stop gigantic horses with turn of
the wrist, and raise herself to the
roof of porch by main strength.
"Will you tell me why my father
is in this house, and what is going
on in that room? he queried, trying
to emulate her GOODNESS.
I'D rather let him tell you him
self"
But he won't"
"Yes, he will, ! think" she replied.
Because"
She stopped and listened. Then 4
look of alarm came into her eyes.
She said hurriedly:
"Quicki Get out of that windowl
Don't wait"
She took hold of his arm above
the elbow with one hand and pushed
him. The ease with which she moved
him reminded him that she was very
much stronger than the average girl
of her size and apparent age. With
out effort she had him at the open
window in flash.

to ask as she hustled him along.

to know what business you have in
this house, especially when she
knows you did not come in by the
door? Hurry! Get to the roof of the
porch and climb to your own side.
Mercy! Why don't you go?"
There was no more doubt of her
distress now than there had been OF
her calmness before. She turned
down the lamp and blew it out.
Jack tumblcd through the window
and hoisted himself over the divid.

safety of his own porch roof wher
he heard the voice of an olde,
woman than Therese.

DIED FROM FALL

Police officials scout the theory Of murder in the case of John Cislak of 1416 Pembroke street, found dead on the sidewalk in front of his home at o'clock yesterday morning.
 Medical Examiner pr. s. M Gar lick stated last night, that Cislak, might have met his death from a blow on the head, or by being pushed down stairs.
 According to the police however. Investigation has shown that the dead man had been drinking heavily Satur- day night. He had been put out of an East Side saloon, because he had no money, and was on his way home The police theory of the affair is that CiS1ak, went home intoxicated, and starting up stairs to get to his room fell backwards, striking the back of his head on the sidewalk, and frac- turing his skull. Cislak Is unmarried, and has a brother Andrew, living at 226 Church street.

Some Want Smith
 For City's Mayor

Rumors intimating that Tax Col an independent or Republican can didate for mayor at the coming cleo tions, were greeted with surprise by MT. Smith, when he was informed of them by a representative of the Times Farmer today. MT. Smith when ad- vised that there was a concerted ef- fort in the West End and among the foreign voters of Bridgeport to have him head a ticket said: This Is news to me. While I hope for popularity with all classes I never knew of any concerted effort by West Binders or citizens of foreign extrac- ton to honor me. Frankly I have been so busy with my work as tax collector for the past few weeks, have given practically no thought to politics" MT. Smith did not say he to him.
 Despite the declaration Of ignor- ance of the matter, 1t is true that there is an effort on the part of cer- tain citizens of Bridgeport to have the tax collector head some sort of q municipal ticket in November
 MT. Smith is looked on as a sure vote getter and is popular with a number of influential Bridgeporters through his ability and work as tax collector. It should not come as a ] surprise if his name appears as can didate for mayor in the near future.

HOLDUP MAN IS
 STILL AT LARGE

The police have not succeeded In locating the man whom Edward P1l- welait, delivery clerk employed by Hayward Brothers of ATT South ave- nue, shot through the hand Saturday night, when two men attempted to hold him up on Iranistan avenue near Gregory street.
 This is near the spot where one week ago Saturday night, Louis A. Skinner of 167 Black Rock avenue was murdered. The police believe that the work in both instances may have been that of the same parties.
 The police feel confident they will apprehend the wounded man. Pilwe- lait reported the attempted holdup to the police ,and because he had been carrying a revolver without a permit was placed under arrest. His case was continued until Wednesda in the city court this morning. He is charged with carrying concealed weapons.

 BY MARCH 15.
Those Who Neglect to Do So Will Be Subject to
 Prosecution.

Washington, March 10-Warning was issued today by Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper that persons who fail to file income tax returns with revenue collectors before ne&c Saturday night will be subject to prosecution. He called on honest taxpayers to aid in the round up of slackers by reporting any informa- tion they might have which would as sist in detection.
 Those who merely neglect to file returns are subject on prosecution to a fine of not more than S1,000 and those who "wilfully refuse" are sub< ject to fine of not more than S10, ,0O0 or Imprisonment for one year, or both.
 Ignorance of the law" said the commissioner. cannot consistently be offered as an excuse by the man who fails to file his income tax on time"
 Means of detecting tax dodgers, in- cludtng the posting as soon as possi- ble of names of persons who have filed returns and the checking over of reports of information at the source' made by persons who paid more than $1,000 last year to any tn- dividual or business interest.
 Commissioner Roper calls attention to the extension of 45 days allowed taxpayers who are unable to file com plete returns by next Saturday, pro- viding they report an estimate of the tax due by that time, together with a payment Of at least one-fourth of the estimate tax. This applies both to corporations and individuals

CLAIMS POLICY
 WAS DESTROYED

Declaring he was unable to file mo- tice of his insurance claim because the policy was burned when his house was destroyed and he had forgotten the name of the company, August Schappolis of New Milford brought suit in the Superior court today against the Middlesex Mutual Assur- ance company of Middletown for s7OO damages.
 Schappolis said he insured the house for s525 with the MiddIesex company and had paid all premiums March 12. 1918 when the dwelling was burned. When he discovered the policy had been destroyed he realized that he could not recall the name of tho insurance company. He applied to the agent in Danbury who wrote the policy but he says the agent re- fused to tell him the name. For that reason he was unable to file his claim within the specified time.
 David and Anna Schappolis, who hold mortgage on the burned prem 1scs, also join in bringing the action, which is returnable to the April term of court.
