THE SANDMAN STORY
BY Abbie Phillips Walker
Protet ted by George Matthew Adams.

sI heard nv mother and some OF
the other water folk talking about a
big storm that is on the way, and the
waves. while they cannot carry away
the cliffs, will creep as far IN your
home as they can and carry on al
the gold il they can reach IT, Tor thea
want it in the ocean. So hurry back
and warn the fairies and hide your gold
Greylie hurried Pepper away, and
when again Pepper looked back, as
she climbed up the cliff, she saw Greylie,
as the moon fell upon a big wave, 81 ting
on top of it, her hair streaming like
threads of gold as the angry winds tossed
it about her face and shoulders.
Pepper quickly awoke the faIries and
told them of the danger that threat
ened their precious gold, and one old
and very wise fairy told them the gold
must be hidden In the pieces OF rocks
that were about their home. 1t was
hard work, and all the fairies, big and
little, had TO help, but by the time the
big storm arrived m all its fury the gold
was hidden. and all the Cliff Fairies were
safe away back In the cliff, where the
wind or waves could not reach them.
When the storm was over there
was the gold safe IN the pieces of rock,
and when .Grevlie came again TO play
with the little Cliff Fairies the older
fairies who had learned from Pepper
all about the Sprite who saved their
gold, made for her a wonderful gold
neckloee as a reward for her kindness.
If you ever happen 10 wander over
a rocky beach pick up some bits OF
rock and see If there are anv gold spects
in them. And if you do find any you
may be sure those specks are some
of the gold which the Cliff Fairies hid
on the night that the Water sprite
Greyhe, warned them of the danger that
threatened them and their gold.

The real estate dealers of this city

the present market conditions. They

TRAIL BANDITS
At ROOSEVELT
Police Feel Sure That Men
Wanted for Crossing Hold
up Are Old Offenders.

BY Special Correspondent.
ROOSEVELT, Feb. 17-Although
no trace has been found as yet OF
the three men who robbed the occu-
pants of two automobiles at the
East Railway crossing of the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey on
Tuesday night. the police have a
good description OF the men and ex-
pect that they will be apprehended
at any time.
The police are of the opinion that
the bandits are the same ones who
were operating around Elizabeth
some time ago. The robberies at
the East Railway station were made
after the bandits had driven the
fiagman at the point of gun in the
Playhouse and then lowered the
gates as automobiles came along.
stopping the cars and robbing the
occupants.
Due to the fact that Frederick
Bales. one of those who was held
up. failed to report to the police
where the bandits had left him.
when they forced him to drive them
to Crawford. until about two hours
after he had returned to his home
in Railway. gave the men ample
opportunity to escape and delayed

According to the police here. from
information given by the parties held
up. the men did not take any of the
rings, watches or other things OF
value from the victims. All they
desired was money. and big money
at that. One of the victims is said
to have had few cents in his poe
kets. which the bandits refused to
take. They did, however. succeed in
getting a total of $66.
According to the police the men
seemed to have everything mapped
out and under the control of one
man. This fellow gave the orders
and the other two carried them out.
Everything was done in an orderly
and quiet way as if it was an every
day affair with them. The police
expect to make arrests in this case
soon, il is said.

RAID On LIQUOR
At COUNTY SEAT
Four Men Are Arrested and
Held for Action of the Fed
eral Grand Jury.

BY star Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 17.-As
a result of a raid by officers of the
federal prohibition enforcement de-
partment, on saloons in this city.
four local men were held to await
the action of the federal grand jury
on charges of violating the Volstead
act. This raid is believed to have
been made in connection with the
big liquor robbery at Kingston last
Thursday.
Joseph Harding and George Mil
ler. proprietors of the Rathskeller
at the corner of Albany street and
Spring alley, were taken before u.
S. Commissioner John p. kirkpat
rick after their place of business had
been inspected. and each held in
$500 bail to await federal grand
jury action. George Thierty's saloon
at 125 Albany street. vas also visit
ed by the officers. and the proprietor
and bartender taken before the COM
missioner. The former was held in
$500 bail. while the bartender was
ordered to furnish $1,000 bail to
await the action of the federal grand
jury. The third place visited was
the adjustment of Jerry Dono-
van at the corner of Easton avenue
and Somerset street. The proprie-
tor was not taken into custody by
the officers. as it is believed no booze
was found.
The federal agents came into New
Brunswick about $3.50 o'clock this
morning. two going to each of the
saloons. Upon arriving in the sa-
looms the agents ordered everyone
out, and Immediately started to in
spect the stocks, taking evidence and
notes of the different liquors on
hand.
Four men were in the party, in
charge of Saul Drill. At the Rath-
skeller whiskey. gin and cordials
were found, while in Thierty's place
a small supply of whiskey and a
case of wine was found. Both men
waived hearings.
The Trenton party arrived in New
Brunswick shortly before noon, and
Detective David secured about eight
men from around the county build
ings, dressed them 10 match with
Rutkin and Quinto. and took Pedro
Salamandra, Charles Barnabea.
Dominick Orsi and stephen Gencezi
into the room where the ten men
were lined up, In an effort to see if
the Trenton party would recognize
any of the men in the group who
were mixed up with the holdup of a
week ago. The Trenton men were
taken into the room one at a time.
and it is said that three of the men
in the Trenton party closely scru-
tinized the two Newark men, but
told the detectives that they failed
TO identity any of the men. Rutkin
and Quinto were therefore held as
material witnesses in the case, and
bail fixed at $4,000 in each case.
1t has been said in various circles
about New Brunswick that the
Trenton party hardly would identify
a man if brought before one who
took part in the robbery on account
of all being ''bootleggers" and work
ing together. Detective David went
to Newark again this afternoon.
