FREIGHT CAR GOES
 ON SOLO JOURNEY
Drifts Across Main Street Dur
 ing Heavy Traffic Period

Breaking loose from it's moorings. a freight car numbered along the New Haven tracks and across the Main street crossing while the gates were up, at about g o'clock Sunday evening, but despite the heavy traf- .c, caused no accidents. according 10 reports made by police officers.
 The switching engine had just pushed the car above the crossing on a siding. and had returned to the lower part of the yards. The gates had been down for the operation, but a short time afterwards. the brakes on the car loosened and, 1t started back to the lower yards.
 A red traffic light was holding the north bound auto traffic. and street car stopped to discharge pas sengers, allowed no south bound traffic to approach the gates while the freight car passed over the tracks, Pedestrians, however, were using the crossings, and because of the position of Sullys Smoke shop, those on the north crossing could not see the car until it was almost upon them. Screams and shouts from pedestrians on the south cross walk, served as a warning. Just be- fore the car cleared the crossing. the watchman succeeded in letting down the gates.
 Earlier in the evening a freight car was derailed in the yard beyon ] the Curtis street crossing, causing I'the bell in the watchman's box on Main street to ring constantly be- tween the hours of and 9. A freight switched the car to a siding, the drawhead of the car pulled put and was run over, causing the car to leave the rails and to tear up the track for a few feet before it over- turned The wrecking crew was call ed out, but despite their work freight traffic was delayed for al most three hours, although passen- ger trains could skirt the wreck.

She stood on the little cliff at the top of Cranston Terrac eand gestic- ulatcd. It was midnight Saturday,. Officer Harper, on call to the street, stopped and pondercd. Could this be the call?
 We'll" he thought, "here she is and she must be q nut. I'd better sneak up on her before she jumps off
 Quietly the officer approached the top of the hill. When he got there he was surprised to see not only the girl he was watching, but three young men. He approached them.
 Hey, what's the idea?" he asked.
 "Oh officer. you scared me-" the girl replied. You see, I'm an elo- cution student and I'm practicing." /"
 "Who are these fellows?" quericd Officer Harper.
 This che is my boy friend from New Haven. 1 do not know who the others are. l am from New York" "
 "Who ar6 you?" the officer asked the two strange young men.
 We live on Oak street, they re- piled, "and she invited us up here 10 watch her practice" She started to practice again. Off l cer Harper watched admiringly.

badly enough, I guess you could see your way to marrying her father. I wouldn't bother you much, Molly. I've learned a tot about marriage and women, since I married Rita. l haven't talked to you about love. But you know how I feel. I'm so crazy about you, that I'm out of my head half the time. When I talk like fool, it's desire for you that's driving me insane. . We'll we won't talk about that. It isn't protostatons you're look ing for.
 You've had time enough now to think things over. Do you want Rita enough to marry me. Molly? Because if you don't, I'll take her, and clear out of your life. I'll leave you to Red Flynn"
 Leave me to Red." she cried. But, Bob. you silly thing, Red doesn't want to marry me- "No?" Bob looked at her sharp ly. Well, I'm not surprised, Molly. He never did strike me as the marrying kind. Why do you play around with him? If you know he never means to marry you, should think you'd be looking somewhere else.'
 She laughed at his simplicity.
 And you say you've learned about women, Don't you know, my i friend, that women don't pine for | marriage these days?"
 "The right sort usually get mar ried." he countered. If Red Flynn plays loose with you, Molly, you | just let me know"
 Reds my best friend, Bob. Don't be an old woman," she admonished
 Well leave him out of it then. What do you say? Will you marry i me-"
 You wouldn't take Rita away, If I should say No Bob?"
 Yes, I would, Molly. Oh, l know | it's a rotten way 10 talk. But want you so fearfully. There's nothing I wouldn't do to get you You see, I love you, dear. In my cruel way, I love you. And-Tm something like you-there's moi much I wouldn't do to get the thing l want. You ought to understand that. Molly"
 "Oh, I understand" she told hin wcarily "You're a good deal of 8 devil, Bob, but I understand. Go away now. I'll give you an answer day after tomorrow"
 But you've had time to think it over," he protested.
 No" She shook her head. "Dal after tomorrow"

 Has Rev to Her Home

For the past several weeks, Mrs. Bob Romerio, who lives at 61 Sex ton street has been bothered by q man. Every time he sees Mrs Ro- merio, he tries to tear her. riclothcs off, she told Sergeant McAvay at the police station last night.
 Friday evening, she said, when she was in her yard he sneaked up behind her and tried to tear her dress from her. and Sunday in some way he got the key to her tenement and now she fears that he will be able to enter her house when her husband is away at work.
 The husband, who panied his wife to the police station Sun day night, also told the sergeant that the same men had bothered his wife when they lived on Oak street. | The couple were told that whenever they are bothered again, they should get Ll touch with headquarters inn mediately so that the man may be arrested.

MORE THAN RIDING


 It is har,i to evaluate truly the leisure tine pursuits of children. The thing which we are apt to dis pose of as mere pleasure is often much more than that
 Take ridirl;, for instance. Riding is ever so much more than good fun and splendid exercise. The .hild who learns to ride well learns cour- age. poise, judgment and quickness in the face of emergencies.
 The other day, riding the fields Jerry suddenly found his mares hind feet tangled in a hidden barb cd wire. She began to plunge wildly and to churn about in a frantic circle.
 Quickly Jerry slid from his sad dle and caught hold of her bridle. His voice was gentle. reassuring. She became quiet and stood still while she allowed him to untangle the cruel wire from her bleeding legs.
 Then holding her easily by the bridle, he walked alongside her three long miles to the stable. There he at once made confession of his misadventure to Willy, the man 1T charge, and then stood by, passing bandages, disinfectant and scissors te Willy as he worked over the lacer' ated legs.
 That was a worthwhile experience for a year-old boy. He met trying moment with decision ant courage. He showed judgment ant a sense of responsibility. He faced possible censurc without hesitation He was more concerned for hi 1 horse than for himself
 The pastimes which allow you child to develop in strength o character are more than play; the, are the better part of his educa ton. Make room for them in you child's life. Encourage him to pla games, to go on camping expcdl tions, to fish and hunt and swim Let him learn competence and cour age in relations to such simple pur suits, for the traits of characte thus acquired will stand him | good stead in the more comple situations of adult life.

Sydney S.

There are a few odds and ends which must needs be cleaned up. One man wrote in that he had won the dol lar two times and to give it to char ity. That's all very well but it was decided not to make public an- nouncement of that because there were times when people could real lv use the dollar and then 1t would prove embarrassing to take it. The two dollars are at the Herald office anytime the gentleman wishes to call. The editors old friend Louis Squilla- ciotc evidently mulls over tfns column very diligently. He tried for the ten dollar prize writing a let ter in response to the questions ana answers run a week ago. Evident ly, everybody thought that the eui- tor was an irresponsible cuss and didn't mean the prize idea. The

Subsequently the need | for such a place as a means of sav- | ing the city considerable money in the purchase of flowers. has become more apparent it is believed.
