him.

The mans aspect was SO threaten

on the chain around his wrist checked
him.

Polly grasped the situation In an in

she raved. He didn't; an you d-n

Like a wildcat unloosed upon them.
Polly flew first at one, then at the 9th

clothes and kicked out with her strong,
bare feet; but 1t was like small
force attacking a mighty mountain.
Strong hands pinioned her arms. and
while she stood raging at them, she
saw Wee Jerry snatched from his IA
Tiers shoulders and set on the ground.
Then they led Daddy Hopkins away.
Dazed for a moment, Polly stood shak-
ing from head to foot. Grasping Jerry
by the hand, she ran swiftly after
them, crying out in despair that Daddy
must go home with her and the baby.
At the lane Hopkins turned and
spoke to her.

Even the officer who had the squir-

to the big squatter.
Afraid to lead their prisoner
through the Silent City. the deputies
marched him up the lane toward the
railroad tracks. As they turned into
the boulevard. Hopkins looked back
down the hill. Pollyop was still In the
road. and Wee Jerry was In her arms

TAXICAB BILL
VETOED BY HYLAN
Calls Provision in the
Measure Retaining brennan
a Joker

Mayor Hylan returned the bill
transferring the taxicab branch of the
Bureau of Licenses to the Police De-
partment to the Governor this after
noon, disappearing it. His veto dis
poses of the measure until the next
session of the Legislature.
The Mayor said that the bill con-
tanned "a joker" in that it provided
that In taking over the licensing of
taNiCabs Police Commissioner Enrght
must retain Deputy Commissioner
brennan as the head of the bureau
This. said the Mayor, was designed to
give brennan GEAR like power cv"r
the taXicabs Of the city" and gave
him an incongruous power to defy his
superior officer which was nc to be.
Advocates of the measure felt that
the retention of Drenncn insured the
continuing at the head Of the bureau
of a man who has a wide experience
and acquaintance among taxicab
drivers rather than the substitution
of n man selected by the Commits
sioncr as a reward for personal
loyalty.
