 The bakery driver said, "Well, son. I'll help you have your little fun, but you will have to walk back. That's one of my clever tricks"
 LAW, wait!" cried Duncy. "Kind- ly stop so I will have chance to drop off to the ground. I'm tired and I don't want to walk real far"
 The driver raced on for a while and then he yelled, "Whoa," with a smile, and added, as the horse stopped, "Okay, Duncy, there you are!"
 "I think you're mean as you can be. A long, long walks ahead of me-" said Duncy. Then he started out to hike back to the rest.
 Tn bout an hour he reached the bunch, and Scouty said, T have a hunch you tried to fool that driver, but by him you were outguessed."
 Don't rub it in," snapped Dun- cy. Gee, know he got the best of me. Right now, I'm going to take a nap. I'm sure that I'll

 "Come on and see it. What a sight! I only hope it turns out right. They plan to form a big roll cake. Let's help them, if we can."
 Wee Duncy jumped up to his feet and said, "I wouldn't miss that treat" Then, with the other Tinies, to the great big cake he ran.
 Brave Scouty shouted, "Bless my soul! That looks just like jelly roll" Tt is," replied a baker, "but the jelly is left out.

Two hours later police traced Mrs A. Peter Schaff, this city, & him into custody he shot himself through the head.
 While hiding in the cellar Hartl penned a note in German script reading:
 "Annie's other man punched my face. Both wanted to throw me out because I wanted my money back. Then shot them."
 In one of Hartrs pockets was an engagement ring, \ Hartl and Miss Kramer, friends said, knew each other in Germany and it generally. was presumed they were engaged to be married.
 After meeting Marshal, police learned, Miss Kramer refused to go out with Hartl and about a month ago Hartl was said toyhave threatened the girls life.
 Thursday Hartl went to the Schaff home, after he was refused admission to the Kohn residence and several letters were ilnan- swered, and sought Mrs Schaff's aid in having returned to him jewe1ry and other gifts. Mrs Schaff said she went to Miss Kram- CT and delivered the message and the girl told her she would return the presents and would refuse to see Hartl or communicate with him.
 At Hartford hospital it was said the conditions of both Miss Kram- CT and Marshal were good" and they would recover.

enter the second floor ''oil burnes office" about 6:30 last night but was not suspicious, since he knew the room had been rented. Later, at about 9:30, he saw the floor of the room covered with mems suits but failed to report his finding to anyone.
 Lieut.. Detective William Pollard and Detective William Foley, who are Investigating, believe that the robbers began work just few min utes after the, New York Clothes shop was closed at 6:30.
 The floor was first attacked on the second floor with bits and braces, till an opening large enough for a saw was made. The wood was then sawn through over an area of about two feet by three feet, and the metal ceiling of the clothes shop forced down.
 Room Rented This Week
 The second floor room was rent ed early this week to Joseph Esposita" by George Fallon, agent for the building. The man who rented the room refused to con- sider any room other than the one over the clothes shop and paid a deposit of $5 to the agent.
 Fingerprints were found on the walls of the store and also on a stolen hat which was abandoned on the second floor by the thieves as they made a getaway with their S2,000 loot.

(C0ntinued from Page ID to either the democratic or re- publican tickets. Another point of importance to ,, be discussed at the mass meeting here Tuesday Is the state conven- ton for 1884. The first conven- tion was held in this city last year, but thus far President Reilly has announced no plans for 8 conven- ton this fall. Local members be- lieve they will be supported by those from other cities when they ask for a formal demand on Pres ident Reilly for convention and the opportunity to pick a new slate of officers.
 One of the speakers at the gath ering Tuesday will be Lewis $. Lauria, formerly of this city and tho first executive secretary of the state association. MT Iiauria IS now executive secretary of the National Retail Liquor Dealers Associations and is the editor of trade journal which has a nation wide circulation.
 The Waterbury branch of the tdVeTnNicN, At lS AONs VIII pO tWN lowed in whatever recommends tions it decides on by most of the other cities of the state, since this city's unit is the strongest in the stae. There wa srepored earlier this week that the local branch might withdraw from the state as- sociation unless the organization kept from endorsing either party or candidate, or unless President Reilly agreed to hold a state con- vention in the near future.
 Notices have been sent to tav- ernmen in every city and town tn the state for the mass gathering her Tuesday and it is expected that, considering the vital importance of the subject to be discussed, there will be large representations from all parts of Connecticut.

 In Massachusetts only a few days gas was being sold by many companies at prices below the state taxx. The gas was retailing at three cents, plus a state taxx of four cents. Seven and eight cents rates per gallon prevailed around the Boston section all this week.
 Officials of the refining com pany branches here today refused to state what they believed the result of the imminent price war would be. It has been alleged in some sections of the country that the price drops are part of an ef- fort by the major companies to drive the independents and the low-rate companies from the sell ing field, but this has been denied.
 Oil companies headquarters claim that reductions in prices are the result of overproduction and a consequent gasoline surplus.

He lent $7 each to hundreds of stu- dents aud citizens - $6 for rail- road fare --- $1 feat money" But the senator ran out of money af- ter lending about $5,000, so some had to travel by car. Until mid night large crowds were on the station platforms Of even the small est towns and as the train went through. Senator Long, from the rear platform, waved and shouted.
 Organizes His Orchestra
 Long spent most of his time, however, organizing an orchestra out of the bandsmen. His appeal for musicians brought a drummer, two horn players. and a few saxo- phonists to his car.
 There's too much brass, ain't enough woodwind," he shouted. "Go up to that music car and tell 'em want a piccolo player and a couple of clarinets."
 The orchestra, finally assem bled, tuned up.
 That's pretty good" said the Kingfish, "but we ain't got a ban- jo."
 A frantic search of the train, but no banjo could be found.
 That's all right" said the King fish. "Just wire ahead to the Mayor of Vicksburg and tell him to be on the platform when we get there with a banjo"
 Banjo Was Waiting
 Sure enough, a banjo awaited the Kingfish at Vicksburg.
 Longs private army" otherwise known as the Louisiana State Po- lice, rode in a car by themselves. They will help guard the King fish and the rwi1d life" brought into Tennessee from Louisiana. Only under this stipulation were they allowed in the state with arms. The game warden deputized them.
