County Commissioner J. Otto
Kirchheiner stated today that an
other offer to build the bridges on
the highway to the mainland has
been received by H. C. Gaffney.
He proposes to post $4,000
bond, will start work within per-
iod of $50 working days and COM
plete the bridges within two
years. The Gaffney proposition
is that the bridges will not cost
the county anything nor does he
ask the county for any guarantee
in the way Of tolls.

BOSTON, Dec. 11.-Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt made a hurried
trip to Boston yesterday to be near
her son, Franklin D. Roosevelt, IT.,
at the Phillips House of the MaSSa-
chusettS General Hospital after an
operation for an acute sinus con-
dition was again postponed due
to the patients high temperature.
The Presidents wife returned to
the White House last night, but is
expected to return here Sunday
night.
Recurring rumors that the PreSl-
dents son was gravely Ill were de-
MED by persons close to the fam
fly. They denied the patients
temperature was abnormally high
and said it was not the policy OF
the surgeons to operate when a
patient is febrile, is such an opera
ton could be delayed.
Friends said they hoped the
operation could be performed
Monday.
DR.. George Loring, jr., who has
been attending young Roosevelt,
went to the Phillips House yeSter-
day, supposedly to perform the
operation, but left later after not
ing the patients temperature.
Young Roosevelt has been IN
the hospital since Thanksgiving
Eve and was reported much
improved.

SEPTEMBER ~ TO

LIBRA men arg ambitious, and
in youth have to make their own
way in the world. Make splendid
stock brokers and financiers; en-
thusiastic, and reverses produce no
effect; quick at recovering lost
ground. They are fascinating,
and always on the qui vive for
new objects of attraction. Re-
verse are the Libra women, who
are careless about money matters,
and dislike the financial part of
any transaction. Libra people
have keen sense of justice.
They are liberal to a fault, and
will give away more than half
they possess and never expect any
return. The women are very sem
sitive to harmony and inharmony,
and can tell the moment they en-
ter a house the conditions prevail
ing therein. Are very kind and
averse to cruelty. Are neat.
When angry, which is seldom, they
leave nothing dnsaid. One born
under Libra should never unite
with one born between February
10 and tIarch 81 (Pisces) or Aug
ust % and September % (Virgo) /;
unite with those born November
% and December 81 (Sagittarius) /,

Five minutes later they were
speeding the Great North Road to-
wards Watford.
a BOUT four miles from Watford
IA they turned off the main road
along little country lane. Another
seven or eight minutes driving
brought them to the entrance 10 a
rough drive leading through a thick
copse to small house that stood in
an isolated position about four hun
dred yards from the lane.
That's the place. She's in there"
said Mulgrave sullenly.
Mahony stopped the car just out
side the drive entrance. The lights
of the house could be seen gleam-
ing through the trees.
1--WE get out again here" he said.
"You first. And don't shout or try
anything smart. or III plug you"
They got out of the car and stood
in the roadway. Everything around
them was quiet except an owl call
ing in the copse. Mulgrave stood
sullen and uneasy. His face was
hurting him; he suspected that he
was going to lose a tooth.
"W-what have | got to do now %
he asked.
Nothing" said Mahony quietly
Il shan't want you any more"
With that he suddenly hit Null
grave a tremendous wallop full on
the point of the jaw. Mulgrave's
heels came off the ground; he
crashed down and out into the ditch.
Mahony bent over, hauled his un,
conscious body back into the lane,
carefully bound and gagged him
and thrust him back into the ditch
Beside Mulgrave he flung his own
fancy costume. That was a thing
he was well rid of.
For a few moments he consid
cred; should he use bluff or stealth
to get into that house and rescue
the girl imprisoned in it? He de
cided upon bluff. The use OF stealth
and quietness would mean that BIZ
would have to leave the car where
it was in the lane, four hundred
yards from the house.

MAN KNOCKED OUT

Mahony was not in a pleasant
mood. Though outwardly he was
quite calm and matter-of-fact, there
was a hard. black core of savage
anger deep inside him.
He thrust the pistol suddenly into
his pocket, turned on Mulgrave
quickly, grabbed him by the collar
and waist-band and heaved him
bodily out of the car Then he
jumped out after him, hauled him
to his feet, and gave him a crashing
punch in the mouth that knocked
him down again. Then quite DELHI
erately he picked him up and
knocked him down again.
Come out with it, you rat" he
said in a low. savage voice. Where
is she? I'll smash you to pieces if
you don't tell me-"

He blubbered like big baby.
Mahony gave him a good
kick in the pants.

"OWi all, right, I'll
