THE OPTzzNIsTs, CLUB

If steamships were selling for dozen words of
good cheer, some birds wouldn't be able to buy the
whistles toot-toot.
But the unfortunate pessimsts who see nothing
encouraging about the better business conditions that
exist right and nothing hopeful in the future out
look having hard time of it. They can't get away
with their gloomy stuff! Too many optimists IN
Fairmont KNOW that business is well off the rocks
sailing along on an even keel with the harbor
perty near at hand
Might as well THINK that way, at least, because
thinking right helps right things.
If the pessimists MUST feel blue let em contem-
plate the awful conditions in faminestricken provinces
in Russia where thousands are dying of starvation
WHERE THERE'S NO BUSINESS AT ALL. You
don't see any hunger-naddened throngs in Fairmont
in our town.

The realization of the truth had pierced the detectives consciousness even before his host voiced it and he sprang for the door. As he flung it open, with the round figure in the tattered dressing gown close at his heels, he heard unmistakaby the sound of hurrying footsteps below and plunged for the head of the stairs. The narrow hall was but dimly lighted and in the unnatural silence which followed the echo of the shot, their own feet as they clnttered down the mating covered stairs drowned out the lesser sound which had come up to them.
 The hallway directly below was de- serted and the door leading into the apartment was closed and blank Pro- lessor Semyonov paused to hammer upon 1t but Barry hastened on down ward, his eyes striving to pierce the gloom. Was that a fleeing figure be- low him or just his own distorted shadow advancing before his reckless descent?
 On the third floor he halted. The door of this apartment also, which his host had told him was occupied by woman portrait painter, was closed, but from the line of the sill streamed peculiar, bright light like beam of sunshine. The professor ceased his fruitless efforts and rejoined his com panion just as there came soft thud and then from the street level a vio- lent ringing and pounding.
 Perhaps we were mistaken Barry remarked. Tt might have been 8 fracas out in the street."

3 RIDES FOR 25 CENTS
 IF YOU BUY TOKENS
Connecticut Company Announces Rc- duction in Fares, Effective
 On March 1.

At | meeting of the directors Of The Connecticut Company held on January 7th IL was decided to an nounce n reduction in the rates Of fare, according to a statement issued by Lucius s, Storrs, president of the Connecticut Company.
 This had been anticipated in n statement made in November that if conditions during the winter were favorable, such action would be taken"
 The statement continues:
 "Due to the present industrial de- prcssion the revenues are less than last year at this time. but by reason of an eight per cent, reduction in rates of wages and decreases in the cost of coal and other materials the expenses are slightly less than last year, although still more than twice as much as in pre-war years.
 It may be that reductions from the present cash rate of fare will in- duce an increased use of the cars and thus offset to a certain extent. the reduction in revenue accompanying Il lower rate of fare.
 "On March lst reduction of six teen per cent. will be made effective on all lines through the sale of three tokens for twenty-five cents. A token or ten cents will be accepted in pay ment for one fare within any of the present flat fare areas with all trans fer privileges as at present. These tokens will be sold by all conductors at three for a quarter or may be pur- chased at the company offices and agencies at twelve for one dollar.
 This method of reduction recog- nizes the difference between the casual rider who will pay ten cents,
New Britain herald., 1922-01-16

The professor shook his head decid- edly and then pointed to the line of light from beneath the door before them.
 Someone is in here, at any rate. We will knock"
 Suiting his action to the word, he rapped smartly, waited, and rapped again, but there came no response, only the steady glare of that garish light and the banging from the en- trance on the ground floor.
 Professor Semyonov shrugged and turned to descend still further, but the sergeant grasped his arm. That's only someone who heard what we did-the officer on this beat, perhaps--and wants to investigate. Let him wait If anything is wrong in this house it is behind that door! I'm going to assume responsibility for breaking in it, professor. Stand back!'
 The door itself was massive one but the lock evidently old and t1imsy <nd at his third onslaught it snapped with such suddenness that he was a- most precipitated into the apartment.
 A SlnSl6 glance eo oiio" eiN outlines of daintily carved furniture and cushions shattered about in pro- fusion by an obviously feminine hand but the room was empty and its only illumination was that strange ray Of counterfeit sunlight which streamed through an opened door in the oppo- site wall, a door which led evidently to that studio built out over the strip of garden of which the professor had spoken.
 The still, heated air was heavy with a subtle, coying perfume but mingled with it was harsh acrid odor that was not new to the detective ana ne sprang across to the doorway of the studio and then paused.
 Facing him upon large easel was the portrait of woman in gray evening gown poised on the third step of a staircase with one slippered root slightly advanced and hand ot start ling whiteness upon which huge emerald blazed rested on the dark nolished wood of the balustrade. Ihe painting was only half finished, put IL was indicated in broad splashes or color and with the bold sweeping lines of the cartoonist which rem dered the likeness unmistakan'e to anyone familiar with the lineaments of those in the city's highest society
New Britain herald., 1922-01-16

All this Barry took in with one darting glance and then his eyes travelled to the foot of the easel and what lay there. It was the huddled body of a woman with masses of tawny hair scarcely dishevelled by her fall and a spreading stain upon the breast of her paint-daubed smock.
 Kneeling beside 1t he gently raised the head, which rolled backward in his hands and the curiously long, mar row, half-opened eyes stared up sud- denly into his with dull, unwinking gaze.
 "Dead!" the professor announced beside him. "She was at work when the shot pierced her breast. See, her thumb is still thrust through the palette and the maulstick and brush have but just fallen from her hands," 1, Continued in Our Next Issue).
