.BLAMES ONE DRINK FOR z|GzAG DRIVE
Baker Who Loses Sleep, Slipped
 Once and Is Fined S1OO

Arrested on September by Off, cer Delbert Veley on the charge of driving while under the influence of liquor on Washington street, an hour after the officer had warned him not to take the wheel, Peter Yanik, 39, of 241 Broad street had his case continued twice, the second time for the reason that he wanted to bring in two witnesses to testify as to his condition. When the case was call ed in police court today, however, he pleaded guilty and Attorney Law renee J. Colon, who represented him, explained to Judge Saxe that it was with some difficulty that he finally impressed upon him that it was pos sible to be under the inf1uence of liquor and still not be intoxicated.
 Yanik, according to the attorney, has always been a hard working man, being employed at night in a bakery, and at the time of the ar

guilty to the charges and took the Witness stand to explain their side of tthe case. Karwoski said the mo- torcycle was properly registered but while Clinch was riding it three weeks ago he lost the marker and coul dnot find it. Karwoski made a temporary marker and Clinch agreed |.to drive to Hartford and obtain a permanent one. The certificate of registration was produced by Clinch, who explained that it was in the mo- torcycle last night but he could not find it at once. He questioned the claim that he had committed an of fense, inasmuch as Sergeant Flynn met him in his own driveway and not on the public highway.
 Boy Drives Without License
 Russell Pearson, IT, of 19 Gran ston Terrace, was fined s5 and costs on the charge of driving an automo- bile without a license, to which he pleaded guilty. Officer Edward Mu- szynski of the motorcycle squad tes- | tified that he followed a. car driven 1 by Pearson through Stanley street from Kelsey street to the Gulf Re- fning Go. plant about 7:35 o'clock last night at fast rate of speed. in a race with another car and al- | though Pearson claimed to be under instructions, the owner of the car was on the end of the seat and an- other man was in the center, with Pearson at the wheel.

LOW PRICE OF CANE SUGAR STIMULATES
 HOME PRESERVING
Winter Food Bills Can Be Materially Reduced by Put
 ting Up Fruit Now

One cannot go to market these days without being reminded that this is the year to make jellies, jams and preserves. Luscious fruit is in abundance "and cheap every where, and pure cane sugar - the best to be had-is offered at an unheard-of low price.
 The woman who puts up dozen jars of fruit or a few glasses of jelly and jam will be surprised at how little they cost her. But the real saving will be noticed later when these delicious homemade preserves make it unnecessary to buy others.
 As means of making menus at tractive, there are few foods more helpful than jellies, jams and pre- serves. For children, canned fruit is most desirable breakfast dish or dessert.
 Sweet pickles and relishes made of, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage or melon rind are also easy and inex- pensive to put up. When served with meat and fish the combination is delicious. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute.

 Was that what love brought in it's train? Better hate. But slowly as the hours passed, reason reasserted itself. It wasn't Towards fault he was married. Nor that she loved him.
 She wakened to a flood of sun shine across the floor and her uncle S drawing voice outsides the window

 Dagger sat up with a jerk. The car! Howard-he was going away. He would. Oh, what a fool shed been! Dressing quickly she step- ped outside

 She came close 10 him. Here's Q kiss for luck-and to prove I won't forget you"
 Its something to remember" Howard replied. Don't worry, l won't forget, either. We'll always be friend, won't we?"
 "Oh, yes, always friends" she assented, bravely.

 Afterward Howard asked himself many times how it had occurred. As he reached to steady her when her horse shied, she nestled instinctive- ly into the crook of his elbow. Then he Was conscious of her face turned Up to him. her eyes glow ing, her lips parted expectantly. The soft pressure of her mouth brought him to his senses. He almost pushed her from him. Here, no philandering he heard himself say dryly. "We ought to get home"
 He drove in the spurs, and Dag ger initiated him. He didn't look at her. She never spoke. When, at last, he refined in his sweating mount, and stole glance in her direction, her features were set in the mask she affected in games of chance.
 Sorry, Dagger" he exclaimed impulsively. shouldn't have done that. All my fault"

rest he had been without sleep for A hours. His employer had given him drink of liquor and it affected him. although he felt himself capable of driving. Attorney Colon said he did not doubt that he was unfit to drive, for otherwise Officer Veley would not have arrested him.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods said he had other witnesses who would strengthen the states case if the de- fense or the court wanted to hear them, but Attorney Colon replied that Yanik had pleaded guilty and there was no need of further eVl- dence. A fine of s109 and costs was imposed.
 Boxer Fined S2
 John Clinch, 21, of 101 Roosevelt street, well known boxer, was fined s2 without costs for driving a motor cycle without a certificate of regis tration in his possession, and Joseph Karwoski, 22, of 16 Belden street. was fined $5 and costs on the charge of operating the motorcycle with inn proper markers.
 Sergeant Michael J. Flynn of the detective bureau testified that he was investigating a complaint yesterday that valuable dog owned by w. L. Hurlburt had been run over and bad ly injured by motorcycle which went through Pleasant street Sum- day with no markers, and he learn ed that although KaroWski's machine was not the one which was involved, it had been driven by a number of young men with home made mark er
 Last evening he went to Karwo- skis home to see the machine and was told Clinch had it, so he went to Clinch's home and met him driving out of the yard preparatory to go- ing to Sound View. Clinch was un- able to produce the certificate o1 registration.

 1Easy, old girl" >he muttered. "Everything's all right"
 Course, it's all right mean all wrong" she retorted grossly.
 Better have some breakfast" |" urged Welling.
 I'm not hungry" she protested.
 Any healthy girl is hungry in the morning she's in love. And you aren't, you know"
 But I am, Dick! You know I am. And, oh, now did you? Do show it -that-that plain?"
 My word, no." He drew her down beside him on a step. '"How- ard spoke to me last night. He was pretty well upset"
 Well, it was my fault, Dick. And love him like-like hell.'
 Ssbs overwhelmed her.
 Buck up, dear" he said. You mustn't take it so hard. We all of us have this experience"
 "Why-why, Dick" she exclaim- ed
 T could have jumped into the Thames any night for a month once" he went on. I've sat with a gun on my knee, and figured where to put the bullet. But that's funking the fight, welching on a bet. D'you see ?"
 T guess you're right" she an- swered meekly. What should I do?"
 GO on as if nothing had hap pened. Instead of letting disap- pointment upset you, make it strengthen your character, stiffen your will"
 "But what did you do, Dick? Tell me, please. IT want to learn so."
 Not easy" he said after a while, and his voice was low, carefully controlled. T grew up with a girl. Her people had the place next to ours. Nobody ever said anything, but We-took it for granted.

And of course, I'd be oblig- ed to resign my commission. She said we'd better forget marriage, it was lucky there hadn't been an an- nouncement. She rather put it to me as man of honor, d'you see, not to push ahead, and spoil her daughter S life. Afterward, I learned I was ditched to clear the way for the girl to marry money"
 And what did you do, then ?" she prompted.

"I have no stake worth mention ing" he countered.
 I'd call your life the greatest stake you possessed" she said soft ly, and her hand timidly settled on lis arm. Then her mood changed

 The pleasure of Daggers com pansionship helped influence How ard to stretch his stay at Casa Blanca into three weeks. The warmth of her admiration hearten- cd him, and her eagerness to learn was a stimulant to his own jaded senses. He accepted her homage with good-natured condescension. But he failed to perceive that be- fore his eyes was happening one of the oldest of human miracles. the chrysalis of the child blossoming into the flower of womanhood.
 So Dagger walked her path un-
 
 ir the experience. The sharp point Of desire was still embedded in the tender matriX of the blossom that crept so slowly, so gradually, from the fading chrysalis. But emerge it must. And, of course, the moment o. emergence came with tragical suddenness to both of them.
 The weather had turned very hot, so they took their rides in the cool Of the evening, returning by star light. This evening they had rid den to the dwindling channel of the Rio Grande, and quite by chance they came to the scene of their first meeting.
 q remember I was awfully dir ty," said Howard. Hungry, too.'
 T was mad" said Dagger. And I was sure they were going to get me-" he continued; but didn't care"
 And I was sure they weren't go- ing to-" she retorted, What a dreadful thing to say."
 More dreadful to feel" he an- swered gruffly.
 But you don't feel that way, now?"
 "No-not now"
 Dagger's mount, Desmond, always skittish, started at a mesquite bush that rattled in the breeze. He lurched up against Towards horse, and the New Yorker instinctively reached out an arm to steady Dag ger. Instinctively she nestled into the crook of his elbow.
