 While the police detectives and the sheriff's deputies have not acknowl- edged defeat they admit the case is one of the most bewildering ever to come to their attention. Eleven days have passed since the discovery of the directors body and the officers assigned to the mystery have worked with less than the ordinary sleep and under unusual pressure in tracking down what seemed like tangible clews and investigating almost innumera- ble tips"

 The report has como that even in Bridgeport where the result Of the five-csnt fare test has not been favora- ble to the claims of the advocates Of that rate. the company Is going to con- tlnue adherence to that rate after the Ininetyday test has been finished The company is going to examine condi- tions bit more thoroughly, it Is said, before returning to higher fare.
 And in Norwalk, where the test has been followed with more Interest by New Britain people because the condi- tions there are such that the results of the test there are more indicative of what the results of a similar test in New Britain would be, the company is said to have indicated, unofficially, that it would continue the five cent rate, presumably temporarily at least It is difficult to see how 1t could have decided to do otherwise considering the fact that it has been taking in more cash under the low fare than it did under the ten-cent rate.
 A 'close observer" of the test in Norwal is reported to have remark cd: "The people of this city are just beginning to realize that they can ride for five cents" This is the basis of the argument for the five-cent fare advanced by The Herald in the early days of the test. before there were figures upon which to base a more apfir roa fnr nn | the lower fare. It was said in these columns that as the people learned, or realized, that the five-cent fare was an actuality, the more patronage would come to the trolleys. The long ar the test lasted, it was asserted, the stronger would be the proof that the ow fare would bring the best results o all concerned.

The trembling girl saw, his face grow
gray at the sight Of his powerful
enemy.
Jeremiah made an awkward bob of
his head to Marcus, slipped Jerry into
his arms and without word sat
down. And Pollyop, full Of curiosity
and anxiety, sat down too, her bril-
liant eyes steadily leveled upon Mac

One long gasp came from Polly. Her
father said nothing but looked back at

Out into the settlement she went,
and when she came back into the
shanty. there followed her an angry
set of illy.clothed men; and outside a
sullen group of women waited TO hear
what Old Marc had to offer.
One by one the men silently ranged
themselves in row around the hut
wall while Polly stood at her fathers
shoulder, one hand resting upon 1t.
and the other on Wee Jerry's head.
Marcus Mackenzie knew the group
of men he had TO deal with. He knew
their wicked ways, how they .hieyed.
how they used their nets against the
