Detective Richard Il. Henneberry

night attempted to stop the automobile
in which the four suspects were riding.
The gang opened fire. Henneberry
fell, bullet severing an artery near
the heart.
The men scattered as other police
approached. Edward Hart, IS, the
youngest, grabbed Mrs Mary Connel-

returned the police fire. A moment
later the woman was struck and Hart
darted into the house.
Mrs. Connolly died at a hospital

detective and the woman. Coils of

Part of this light was due to a pyra-

Miss Mixter never knew exactly
how it happened. She was hurrying
home after hard days sewing in Il

hungry. Christmas Eve to her merely
meant that she was wearier than usual
She stopped for a moment to look in

Of what she did, she walked in. Yes,
she actually did. And she had no
more idea of who lived there, than a
maple tree on Boston Common Some
thing drew her straight to the Ere
place. She went as naturally as a
bee seeks honey.
In that merry, well-dressed throng
she looked bit rusty. Her hat was
entirely too old. There was some.
thing wrong in the cut of her coat.
Miss Mixter began talking to a
laughing-eyed woman dressed in green.
"You look like a daffodiI," said Miss
Mixter, And this pleased her hostess
so much that she burst into a peal Of
merriment.
From that moment they seemed TO
have great deal to say to each other
A quick reaction swept over her.
She felt lonely and afraid. Why was
she here? Who were these people?
Why had she come into rnis house :?
She felt quiet hard on her arm.

CHRISTMAS ZEST

CHRISTMAS zest warns the

glow. Do not let any outside
cynicism rob you of this glow.
Do not curl your lip and say
you know the elevator man or
the grOcer's boy or the many
others to whom you give a little
Christmas joy is just looking for
the present and is being polite
for that reason.
Enjoy their pleasure in receiv-
ing. Enjoy, yourself, in giving.
And doesn't every one enjoy
presents? When you say:
He's looking for Christmas
present" you lose half your own
Joy.
