Right then Peter remembered
something he had quite forgotten.
ne remembered how, very early one
fali, Jerry Muskrat had gone to work
on his house, making the walls
thicker than usual, and when he had
been asked why he was doing it had
said because the winter was going
to be unusually cold. He remem-
bered how he and most Of the other
little people had laughed at Jerry
and made fun of him for thinking
that he could tell what the winter
was TO be like. He remembered, too.
how when the winter had come it
had been just as Jerry said it would
be. the coldest, hardest winter for
years.
Peter scratched a long ear with a
long hind foot. Then he scratched
the other long ear with the other
long hind foot, and on his face was
8 puzzled look. Perhaps there was
something in that feeling" after all.
II wonder If Jerry has got it this
year" said he, talking to himself.
II don't see why he shouldn't have. if
Johnny Chuck has it. III run over
and find out. It's all nonsense, Of
course, still, I would like to know
what Jerry thinks about it."
Peter poked his head out for look
around. The way was clear. Reddy
Fox was nowhere to be seen. Peter
started for the Smiling Pool, lipperty-
ipperty lip.

ciano Imondi, thirty years old, night
worker in a railroad roundhouse here,
returned home Unexpectedly early to-
day and shot and killed his wife, AL
veria Imondi, and Antonio Calandona, a

and hunted for a policeman.

formed Patrolman James Keegan, when
he encountered him a few blocks away.
Held by the police on charge of double

with his act. Two children, aged ten

able institution.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-31

At present, according to the offlcial'
statistics Of the Board Of Education,
there are 1888 children registered
there. As a result of The failure Of
Mayor Hylan to keep his campaign
promise to provide seat for every
child there are no less than 1853 chill
dren in this school who are on part
tion.
So bad is the congestion there that
cut OF the remainder no less than 664
are on the makeshift, double sessions
basis, which greatly confuses an al
ready bad situation. In the kinder
garten classes there are 100 children
and 1,S41 are receiving the regular full
session.
The crowded condition in Public
School 103 is directly due TO the yearly
increase in registration and to- the fact
that Mayor Hylan during his admins
tration has provided only 1854 new
seats in the elementary schools, as
compared with the 4e,lOo new seats
furnished by his predecessor in like
period Of Office.
