Mary ran to carry his order to
Captain Hendricks.
"And captain. send a man
ashore to look for Mr.. Bates and
Bruce. IL they don't return within
the half hour. We don't want to
be delayed waiting for them"
HENDRICKS was deeply i'm

stood moment lost in thought.
but he did not seem ill-pleased-
on the contrary. strangely excited
and rather happy.
"So-you've got him trapped,
eh?" he mused. He was hearty,
vital sort Of man, fond of life and
with an Unsuitable love of adven-
ture which his seafaring life man
aged to satisfy only in part. He
was as interested in the capture
Of Mrs. Jupiter's murderer as any
outsider could be. And as for the
imminent struggle with a danger
GUS criminal. Mary could have
sworn he was looking forward to
it with keen anticipation!
The Fly wheeled about as she
came up behind him. with the
alacrity Of q man trained to keep
his face toward his enemies.
"You mustn't think of going
ashore tonight" Mary told him.
"I'll have the steward prepare
one Of the vacant staterooms for
you. Did you like your drink"
there was = faint suggestion of
archness, q softly caressing note
in her voice that caught his ear
instantly-the ear OF a born Don
Juan. keenly attuned to such nu-
ances.
He began a conventional pro-
test, but she hurried on:
"Please! Mr.. Jupiter IS so
anxious to avoid publicity and the
reporters will pounce on you if
you set foot ashore. II they come
here, we can refuse to see them.
But that one on the pier may still
be waiting-there may be dozens,
by now" She shuddered, and
moved trifle nearer.
"Besides-that girl on the roof.

He looked at her in surprise, and
she shook roguish finger at him.

She undressed wearily. Thank

the deck beside where she was
standing. She slipped quietly
along and stopped just by the
portfolio. A reassuring snore
sounded within the stateroom and
she sighed with relief. Stepping
on around the corner she saw

CITY ENCOUNTERS WETTEST WEEK-ENDF
SUMMER WEATHER | HERE YESTERDAY
Furnaces Put Out and Heavy Wearing Ap-
 parel Discarded
EVERYBODY HAPPY

With the thermometer ranging from 70 to 75 yesterday even those who had not been out of the house for some time took advantage of the nice weather and spent few hours, sightseeing. As result of this the country roads were crowd ed with cars and in many instances people on foot blocked public ways. Heavy wearing apparel was dis carded and folks talked of spring planting, vacations at the shore or on the mountains instead of dis cussing how they would get through the winter season. In many places the lawns looked as verdant as they did last summer. birds fitted about and acted as though they were getting ready to start house. keeping. A common salutation was to the effect, glad the winter Is over and we are back again to the fine weather"
 All told, it was very pleasant day, and it kept up during the evening so that people who dis carded their heavy clothing in the morning had no occasion to don them later on. Just how long this will last it would not be safe to state, but the predictions are fair and mild for today and tomorrow, and probably after that there will be no change. If this should turn out to be true, families who thought they were wise in putting in the winters fuel will wish they had deferred placing the order so early.

MONEYS WORTH SURE


 Have you bought your ticket yet for the Milk Fund game Thanks giving morning? If you haven't, get 1t right away. We read in yesterdays newspapers that Hill house and New Haven Commercial played before 16,000 people at the Yale Bowl. The score was 46-0, result which shows that 1t was not the keenness of the contest which brought out such crowd. but the fact that 1t was n charity game. Although New Haven fans ought to be pretty well fed up on football, yet they turned out in these numbers because of the pur- pose for which the game was be- ing played. Thanksgiving morn ing. will furnish a test as to just how Waterbury rates with New Haven when 1t comes to support ing such cause. Hillhouse and Commercial played for the benefit of the Community Chest. Crosby and Wilby will play to buy milk for the undernourished children in the schools.

There are harder-fought contests possibly, battles in which the desire for vic- tory is greater. but there is none in which betetr or. more desira- bie spirit prevails than in this. Time was when the rivalry be- tween Crosby and Wilby was not only keen but bitter. Those days have passed.

result Crosby -Wilby games in recent years, whether or gridiron or court, are productive of keen competition, hard but clean play ing. This game will be no excep- ton.
 Both schools will be represented by bands and if the students can be kept in body the contest of cheering sections may be nearly as interesting as the game. In re- cent game the Crosby cheering sec ton was put out of commission by the fact that the students were scattered the entire length of the | field, with hcndreds of spectators wno did net know the songs or cheers intermingled with them. Under these conditions the cheer Ing section certainly did not func- ton very well. An effort will be made to remedy this situation this time. and if the students can be kept together. a real cheering sec- ton for each school such as ap- pears at the basketball games should be in order.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-11-23

Creomulsion is made for coughs and colds that hang on. For coughs deep and dif6cult-coughs where you dare not risk less effective help.
 But careful people use it for coughs which seem milder-use it to do the utmost and be safe. For nobody knows where a cough may lead.
 Creomulsion combines seven majoi helps in one. Some coughs yield best to one help, some to another Doctors often differ on the best help, for coughs are not alike. So here we combine all the best-to be sure.
 Creosote stands first. Here it is blended, emulsi6ed and made palata. ble. For soothing membranes and combating germs, it is considered the supreme help in this type of cough.
