Where is Jerry. Uncle John?"
 What was l to say to her? l tried to avoid her eyes but their express sion was imperative.
 Where is he, Uncle John?"
 "I don't know where he is." cried desperately.
 You don't know" she echoed in bewilderment You must know. Has - has something happened to him. too?"
 See here. Lucy. Nothing has happened to Jerry. Nothing has happened to him. tell you. He isn't home. that's all. He left the house a little while before i, happened. Pull yourself together and go to your room. I'll tell yon about it afterwards. I must go back now"
 She clutched my hand for an in stant; then she kissed me on the lips and, turning. went out of the room.
 Suddenly. I remembered it had been my impression that Jerry had dropped something as he fled down the drive. If my impression was correct l had better find whatever 1t was before Deacon or any of his men came upon it. I hurried through the window. crossed the garden. and passed sinto the Ogden grounds. Making my way to where believed the object had seemed to fall. I dropped onto my knees and crept and paved around the cinder walk. Without result, however. and l decided to risk match.

 You found it. too." he returned dryly. Hand it over"

 It's no use. John" His voice was weary. T know what you think of that boy. l like him my self. too; but thought 2 good deal more of the father than l do of the son. and If Jerry killed Andrew he's going to pay for it!"

 Good evening. gentlemen" MacNair had preceded Hubbard into the room, and he stood looking at us with that cold. disconcerting stare which was to become 90 fa- miliar to me in the next few days.

 Deacon indicated the figure on the couch. Pretty late for calling, isn't it?" .....
 T am hero at Ogden's invitation. When got home a few minutes ago I found this card under my door," MacNair gave Deacon one of Andrew Ogden's personal cards.
 On the back of the card Andrew had written:
 Mir. MacNair: You were
 out when I called. There is a matter I wish to dis
 cuss with you. Will you drop in as soon as you re- turn. This is important. A. Q.
 Have you any idea what Ogden wanted?" Deacon asked. Specifically, mo-"
 You mean he may have wanted to see you in a professional vay?"
 "Yes. But I retired six months ago.
 Henry looked at the body. T am sorry you weren't home." he grieved. Andrew might have been with us now"
 "Yon'll get your man easily enough" "Ah! the solution is already ap- parent to you," Henry flashed at him.
 Dear. dear! was trying my hand at compliment" You were never known for your compliments, MacNair."
 Il suppose not. It's a grim busi- ness. this man-catching. But I'm through with it. A man with 23 hangings and 14 electrocutions to his credit has no business being in- terested in anybody's murder but his own. You'll find me at 2341 Magnolia if you want me. Good night. Deacon.

"IRON MASK, AT CAPITOL

Do you want to see truly mag nificent picture with powerful story, interesting people and superb settings?
 Do you want to forget the hum- drum now" and spend an hour or two in the romantic then of the 17th century France, when kings and cardinals moved through stately pal aces, and an iron masked captive paced the stone floor of an island fortress? Do you want to see D'Artagnan, brought to vivid life by Douglas Fairbanks, riding with his three loyal musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, upon their quest tor romance and adventure?
 Then you must see "The Iron Mask" the latest Fairbanks picture, which opened last night at the Cap itol theater with sound.
 Doug is D'Artagnan, and D'Artag- non is Doug. The story might have been tailormade for Fairbanks. In the latter part of the picture he adds a. new and charming dignity to his personality with the wearing of a gray wig, but maintains the ageless youth and eagerness which belong 10 D'Artagnan and to Doug.

Tho year has been ons almost wholly free from serious fires. We believe . great part of the credit for the confinement of all fires to the buildings in which they originated is due to Chief William J. Noble. His assistants and the entire department have worked with him in whole- hearted cooperation.
 As members of the board of fire commissioners, we wish to express our gratitude to tho mayor. the members of the common council and to the men in the ranks of the fire department for the cooperation giv- en us. The work of a fireman 10 . hazardous calling, frausht with dam gers, and is fully appreciated only by those who have had occasien to call on the department for its service. Maintenance of the excellent morale which the, city of New Britain finds in it's fire department is tribute to the calibre of the men who make up this fearless and eflicient organi- zation.

in the southwestern section Of the city. A lire station should be es- tablished somewhere in the vicinity of the intersection of West Main street and Corbin avenue. to protect both areas. It has been recom- mended by the national board of fire underwriters that no time be lost in providing this protection. During the past year. the de- partment has had g main installed and water furnished for drilling at the tower located in the rear of Station !. This makes it possible to instruct members of the depart ment ih the handling of "loaded' hose. a very important evolution in the training of firemen. This fea- ture of the departments work ts in the hands of Deputy Chief Eugene F. Barnes.
 Under the supervision of Deputy Chief Michael T. Souney. members of the department have done excel- lent work during the past year in fire prevention. Regular visits so all buildings located in the districts which they serve have been the rule. This acquaints the men with the types of construction in which they are liable 10 be called upon to fight fire. AS a result of these visit-. nu- merous orders have been issued for cleaning up hatchways, backyards, etc.
 Many cities have established bu- reaus Of fire prevention, detailing regular firemen to this type of work exclusively. This is an innovation in fire department service which quite likely that this board may rec ommend in the near future that such a bureau be created in New Britain.
 Tn the past year. 19 fire alarm boxes have been installed. Eleven of these have gone into school build inss. When all boxes for which money has been provided have been placed. there will be 178 points about the city from which alarms may be sent,
 ''rhe steady increase in the num- Der of alarm boxes. which has come with the expansion of the city. brings to the fore the question of abandoning the present mechanical system and substituting manual system. Expert advices are that the mechanical system cannot be expect cd to serve our municipality for more than few more years. The manual system entails the appoint on each Of three shifts. The cost of the equipment for this type of sys- tenn is great. Study by the common council and the board Of finance and taxation. in cooperation with this board. is recommended.
 More Men Wanted
 "The numerical strength of several companies has been increased through appropriations for this pur- pose, bringing the personnel of all but three companies to five men each per shift This is one man less than the board of fire underwriters suggests for complete protection, but 1t is not the plan of the board 10 seek the sixth man. We will soon re- quest authorization to appoint to Companies 5, 6 and to man these companies on the same basis as l 2, and companies.
