meters who are Joined .ogetl err in a
combination, held and stili hold, the
city by the throat, thanks to the refusal
of the Mayor TO exercise his power to
break this monopoly. and, thanks to
the lawless and defiant action of the
Board of Aldermen in refusing TO permit
n competing meter quite "a good If not
better and far cheaper, to be installed
In this city. That meter is still being
excluded. and nobody can assign a
reason
Reviewing his stand on the traction
question, Mr.. Untermyer said he did not
agree with the Miller scheme, and de-
scribed Lockwood's position in opposition
to that plan The Governor was forced to
take action. he said. because of the sheer
Incompetence ofthe city administration in
dealing with the subject. Mr.. Untermyer
took few stray shots at Comptroller
Craig, saying "a man who is capable
of duplicity and intellectual dishonesty
in dealing with the people is not fit to
hold public Office"
Mr.. Untermyer attacked Hylans 20.
sition in relation to teachers salaries
and went over the history OF Loclwood's
long fight in the Legislature on behalf
of the teachers. He added:
do you imagine that Lockwood would
have sat idly by and tolerated 11S,000
children having no teachers 1856
classes being sent home in the week
Of February 10, 1920; 175.ooo children
in duplicate sessions that render santa
ton in the schoolrooms impossible;
thousands deprived of adequate instruc-
tion through canouflage arrangements
made to avoid sending the children into
the streets? Perhaps he would have
seen to it that some of that $4,000. 4s3
that went to profiteers on the city docks
while the city received only $1.4S4,717
by way OF rentals. found its way into the
school fund toward making the buildings

Toms Christmas

1t was near Christmas. Tom
was a very naughty boy and would
not mind his mother. His mother
told him she did not think that
Santa would remember him be-
cause he had been so naughty. Tom
paid no attention to this and went
on with his playing. The next day
was Christmas; when Tom awoke
he found no pretty Christmas tree
and toys awaiting him. Then he
felt very sad that he had not been
a better boy! So he went out and
played. When he came in for din
ner he found a pretty tree and lots
of toys. Then he was very happy.
That was a good lesson for Tom

MARTHENE'S BURGLAR

question" Mary said, and they
must have agreed with her for al
ready they were ascending the
stairs for bed.
About midnight Marthene awoke,
probably because the room was
stuffy. She hoped out of bed to
raise the window higher. CHANGING
out Of the window she was sure
she saw the shadow of a man COM
ing around the house! Fear seized
her, but instantly she cast it off.
Whoever that man was or whatever
he wanted he must not be permitted
to enter the house. She would
have no time to waken anyone
not even Dick. In her bare feet
she bounded down the stairs, three
steps at time. She had left the
back door unlocked and she must
hurry and lock it! From the out
side one would have to go through
small vestibule to get to the
kitchen.
As Marthene reached the kitchen
door she saw the dim outline of a
man on the outside, pull bunch
of keys from his pocket. This bur-
glar then, had a way of getting in.
in spite of a locked door. There
was only one thing left to do, and
1t must be done quickly. She crawl
ed out into the vestibule, pulled
aside the small rug which lay over
a trap-door. Unlocking the trap
door she pushed the rug over it and
then ran back into the kitchen. The
man on the outside did not seem to
notice that the door was unlocked
for he inserted a key and turned
the lock, thus locking the door.
Discovering his mistake he unlock
ed it again and entered the vesti-
bule. As he stepped on the rug the
trap-door opened, and dropped him
in the recess below. Marthene ran
back into the vestibule and locked
the trap-door again. Not a sound
did she hear from the man below.
Now to wake up Dick and get the
supposed burglar out Of the miser-
able place in which he was. But
she could not arouse Dick, and so
decided to leave the burglar where
he was until morning. She did not
waken any of the girls and went
back to bed herself. But she had
no rest for her dreams were full of
treacherous burglars.
The next morning the girls wait
ed impatiently for Marthene to
summon Dick. But when she did
she got no response. After knock
ing at his door loudly for several
times and still no answer, Mar
theme entered. But no Dick was
there.
"Dick hasn't been home all
night" announced Marthene.
why. where could he be-" Jean
asked.
do you suppose his mother has
taken Ill again and he had to go to
herr" asked Marthene.
THAT might be So" Jean said.

The BLACK MASK
Chapter V.

Chapter V.
Mary was kidnapped and Buck
goes 10 rescue her. He followed
the outlaws tracks to a cave. When
he had gotten inside three men
jumped on him and at the last he
was knocked senseless.
The outlaws bound Bucks hands
and feet and dragged him into an.
other part of the cave. Then they
carried Mary through secret
door into a little room.
This cave is made Of nothing but
secret doors. That is how it hap
pened that Buck was caught. 1t
happened in this way-the men
with Mary saw Buck coming and so
prepared to give him a hot well
come. Behind one of these secret
doors there is a large room in
which the Black Mask holds his
meetings. 1t happened that this
was meeting day and the large
band of outlaws were seated in this
room waiting for the meeting to be
called to order. Finally it was call
ed to order by the Black Mask.
After the minutes were read, a mo-
ton was made to discuss what they
should do with the girl and Buck.
"Mr. President" said one.
Mr.. Reed" said the president.
81 move we git rid of this guy we
knocked brainless."
"In what way?" asked the Black
Mask.
Hang him." said the man.
How many agree?" asked the
Black Mask.
Almost every hand went up.
Then it shall be hang him"
said the Black Mask.
During this meeting Buck was
trying to get the ropes off which
bound him but without success.
II must get Mary away from
here he said, II have promised
her father at his death that would
take care of the family"
Again he made a desperate strug-
gle to take the ropes from his body
but in vain. At last he fell on the
floor out of breath.
Mary too had been trying TO take
the ropes from her body.
Finally the men came out Of the
meeting room and three of then
went in and carried out Buck.
Prepare to Sc your last" said
the Black Mask.
Kill me if you want but please
let that girl go free" said Buck
looking over towards Mary.
Mary on hearing this. said, III
you kin him, you shall kill me-"
At this the outlaws laughed and
then one of the men said, II think
you1l be all right where you are"
"Ill not stay here" yelled Mary.
At this they all laughed again
and went out carrying Buck with
them
Mary looked around and saw q
nail in the side of the cave where
the outlaws hung their lanterns.
She got up and started rubbing the
ropes that tiese her hands in 1t,
which slowly cut the rope.
Soon II was cut in two and she
started to unite the ropes that
bound her feet when man came
in.
The man did not see her getting
the ropes off and Mary quickly put
her arms behind her so he would
think she was still tied. /
The man sat down on a block OF
wood and started cleaning his gun.
Mary, seeing that he did not look
at her. began to unite the ropes
and soon had those united.
Marv looked around and saw the
same board that was used on Buck.
She picked it up and was about to
bring it down on the mans head
when he turned around and pointed
a gun full in her face and said, mo
you don't try any sech tricks as
that and then he rushed at her.

MAKES OFFER FOR
CAR BARN PROPERTY
Henry Mandel Would Purchase
Traction Realty Assessed
at S3,072,00O.

Henry Mandel. the oDerator and build
err. who recently purchased the old Grand
Union te from the city. has his eye on
two other bits of VARIABLE traction prop
erty. He has offered an unspecified sum
70 the receiver of the New York Rail-
ways Company for the car barn block.
bounded by Lexington and Park ave-
nres, Thirty-second and Thirty-third
streets, and the old car barns on the
west side Of Mad son avenue. between
Eighty-fifth and E!ghty-sixth streets.
Just now much this offer involves could
not be learned yesterday. The property
is assessed by the city at S3.072,000.
Mr.. Mande would offer no enlighten-
ment on the subject. although he ad-
mitted having made the offer.
The Lex ngton avenue site Is regarded
as one of the most desirable In the mid
town district. Building syndlcates were
eager to buy II during the construction
camraign N the Fourth avenue district
several years ago. on the block % the
north of it Is the Seventy-first Regiment
Armory. and directly opposite are the
Vanderbilt and Park Avenue hotels. The
jewellers crowded out of the Maiden
Zane area through the proposed con-
structon of the Federal Reserve Bank
and by the general extension of the
financial d strict We're said, not so long
ago. to be considering this property for
a cooperative enterprise. 1t has 'front.'
age of 1876 feet on each avenue and
424 feet on each street and contains ap-
proximately thirty-four lots. IT Is as
sessed at S2.075, 900, of which SITS. 700
represents the value of the old br ok
structure.
The Madison avenue property fronts
204.4 feet on the avenue and 220 feet on
each street. OF the entire assessment
of s9e7,000 the building represents s42.-
600. Both properties were offered at
auction by the receiver of New York
Railways Company. through Joseph P.
Day, on November 9, but no bidders were
found. although some smaller parcels
put on the block at the same time were
snapped up. The car barn properties
however. are to be offered agair ui,
March 2, on the steps of the County
Court House. and if no bids are received
Mr. Day will recommend that the court
accept the Mandel offer. II he finally
gets the property. the deal will be a
repetition of the Grand Union purchase
which was made by Mr.. Mandel after
the property had been unsuccessfully
offered at auction by the city.
