chairs. Mario knelt with an arm round
her shoulders, lifting them forward

ease from the glass Of dark red wine
which he was offering her.

tone was tenderly imperative. With

She was not, as the Self knew that

An iron ladder rose to trap door

Here the blackness was oppressive
relieved only by a dull reflection of
the citys glow on the low-hung canopy
of cloud and the tempest had unhin-

blasts all but carried the two women
off their feet. Rain driving in vast

their passage of the roofs doubly
perilous. They slipped, stumbled,
Numbered, bruised their bodies against

For some time she waited hearing

PLAN TO FORM FOREST
Of TALL CEDARS HERE

Efforts are now under way for
the formation of q forest OF the Tall
Cedars in this city. Plans for the
forest have so far progressed that a
meeting of the Masonic fraternity,
who are members of the Tall Cedars
in this city. Woodbridge. Metuchen,
in the lodge room in the Elks' build
ing on Monday night at s O'Clock.
For some time past negotiations
for the formation of a forest here
have been under way. as there are
many who desire to join this branch
of the Masonic order. but do not.
because the nearest forest is Totem
vile or New Brunswick. 1t is said
hat at least $50 saplings can be OBJ
tanned in this city If the lodge is
started here but will not join the
New Brunswick forest because it is
so far away. nor the Tottenville for
est. as it is located outside of this
state.
1t is thought that this city. in con-
junction with Roosevelt. Woodbridge
and Metuchen can have one of the
strongest forests in the county. Ma
sons. who have desired to affiliate
with this branch of the order. have
not done so, because of the dread of
the long journey to New Brunswick
and the late hour at which they
reach their homes after the meetings
are over.
The meeting on Monday night is
only for those who are Tall Cedars.
A large attendance is desired.

REP0RTSTH
Of S84O HERE
Man Claims That Amount of
Money Was Taken From
His Room Here.

Captain of Detectives Lawrence
A. Long is of the belief that his men
have another money mystery case
confronting them as result of re-
ported loss by John Pikelciti of
645 Cortlandt street of sS40. The
man reported TO the local police
that this money was taken from
his room while he answered the call
of a postman on Wednesday. and a
stranger who had been with the
man also was missing from his room
when he returned after answering
the call. Captain Long is of the be-
lief that this case is along the same
fashion as the money box" affair of
last year. which was cleared up by
the local detective department. and
John Simon apprehended. This
man later escaped from the county
jail.
According to the report of Pikel-
citi, he went to the bank with
stranger and drew out 1920, and
then returned to his home. He put
s120 which he had at home in a box
with the money drawn from the
bank. This box the man claimed
was purchased in a store in the
northern part of the city. and he
had to make a key himeslf to open
the box. The fact that he purchased
a box and then had TO make key
to open it. is what attracts the at
tention of the local detectives.
There is a possibility that two boxes
were used in pulling this job, mas
much as q box which the man claim
ed was the one he purchased. was
in his room when he returned, but
instead of money. was packed with
paper
