of intelligence, educated at school whose
traditions you might better have absorbed,
you deliberately chose to employ your gifts
for the exploitation rather than for the en-
richment of society =. It is my sad duty
to sentence you to imprisonment for twelve
years. -"
Chips paled at the words, was startled by
them, could hardly believe them for moment
And then (such was his respect for English
law and its implacable impartiality) he told
himself, as he shuff1ed out of the court:
Well, suppose it must have been something
pretty serious, or they wouldn't have come
down on him 50 hard. -.
He had asked for permission to see Menvers
during the trial, but it had not been granted;
in lieu Of that, he intended to offer what
help he could to Mrs. Menvers, and with
this object planned to intercept her as she
left the court. It had not occurred to him
that some scores of journalists would have
the same idea, plus a greater knack in
carrying it out.
He did, however, oontrive meeting at
her house that evening. He introduced him
self and she seemed relieved to talk to him.
Twelve years" she kept repeating. Twelve
years!'
He stayed with her for an hour, and be-
tween them, during that time, there grew
warm and gentle friendliness. Charlie was
a good man." she told him, simply; and he
answered: Eyes - umph - know he was -
the young rascal!'
"YosIng?" she echoed, and then again came
the terror: Twelve years! Oh, my God,
what will he be like in twelve years?"
And Chips, touching her arm with move
ment rather than contact of sympathy.
murmured MY dear, am eighty-one," -
which might have seemed irrelevant, yet was
somehow the most comforting thing he could
think of.
Later she said: Hes worried about the
boy. We were to have cent him to Brookfeld

next term. Of course that's impossible now.
-. The disgrace Everybody knowing who
he is :. That was the only thing Charlie
really worried about -"
Tell him not to worry" said Chips.
The next day, from Brookfield. he wrote
to the prisoner in Pentonville Gaol:
MY dear Menvers: Il understand that
you always take risks - even on behalf of
Others. Take another risk, then, and send
your boy to Brookfeld as you had in
tended.
Young Menvers arrived on the first Sep
tember day of the following school term, by
which time his father had already served a
month of the sentence. The boy was a nice
looking youngster, with more than a touch
of the same eager charm that had lured
thousands of profit seekers to their doom.
On those first nights of term, despite his
age and the fact that he was no longer on
the official staff of the school, Chips would
often take Prep in substitution for some
other master who had not yet arrived. He
rather enjoyed being asked to do 80; and
the boys were equally satisfied. It relieved
the misery of term-b beginning to see old Chips
sitting there at the desk on the platform,
goggling over his spectacles. introducing new
boys. and sometimes making jokes about
them. OF course there was no real work
done on such an evening. and it was an under
stood thing that one could rag the old man
very gently and that he rather liked it.
But that evening there was an especial
sensation - young Menvers. Il say -d'you
see the chap in the third seat - new boy?

And suddenly Chips. following his age-old

across the road from the school. Chips wrote
again to the prisoner in Pent0nville:

vers, in that stuffy courtroom, provided
the sole focus of anything even remotely
aligned to humanity. The rest of the pro-
ceedings - long discussions as to the in
depreciation of abstruse points in company
law - passed beyond Chips intelligence as
effortlessly as had the xi+y' of his algebra
lessons seventy years before. All he gathered
was that Menvers had done something Tor
perhaps many things) he shouldn't have done,
but in game 50 complicated that it must
Chips could not help feeling) be extremely
difficult to know what should be done at all.
Only one incident contributed much to the old
mans understanding, and that was when the
Crown Prosecuting Counsel asked Menvers
why he had done something or other. Then
had followed:
Menvers: Well. took chance.
C.P.C.: You mean a risk?
Menvers: A risk if you prefer the word.
CP.C.: And what you rislsed was other
peoples money?
Menvers: They gave it to me to risk.
CP.C.: Why do you suppose they did that?
Menvers: Because they were greedy for
the big profits that can only be obtained by
taking risks. and they didn't know how to
take risks themselves.
CP.C.: see. That is your opinion?
Menvers: Yes.
C.P.C.: You admit, then, that your policy
has always been to take risks?
Menvers: Yes, always.
Chips smiled little at that. But two
hours later he did not smile when, after the
verdict Of Guilty on all counts" the judge
began: Charles Menvers D.. you have been

NO DAMAGE FROM
 HEAVY TRANSFORM
Record Precipitation Here Saturday; City, WPA
 Projects Affected

One of the heaviest. rainfalls of the year drenched Waterbury Sat- urday, but the city managed to es- cape any serious damage from the torrential downpour which fell steadily all day. Sunny skies yes- terday found hundreds of local resi- dents taking advantage of the change in weather to motor about the countryside.
 Approximately three inches of rain fell during Saturdays storm. It was the third heaviest rainfall on a November day in local history. The heaviest days rain in November in local history was on Nov. 10, 1882 when slightly more than three and a half inches of rain was recorded
 The Connecticut Light & Power Go. reported no trouble of any con- sequence despite the seriousness of the storm. Telephone service like wise suffered no serious interrup- tions.
 During the morning and after noon Saturday, the rain was &C., companied by high wind that drove the rain in sheets before it Scoffing at the weather, many To- cal football enthusiasts attended games in New Haven and New York
 The street department reported that the most serious damage was the washing-in of a number o1 ditches about the city. Major sew. CT construction was not hampered bitches on WPA projects were also washed-in, but the damage was moi great.

, cates the safe was lifted up the stairs.
 It does not seem probable the thieves would have taken it out the front door which faces on North Main street. It is not known whether a truck or auto was used to carry away the safe.
 The theft was discovered early Sunday morning by Patrolman An- thony Farrar who found the rear door unlatched and merchandise littering the floor of the store. He notified police headquarters and MT. Sodlosky who after investiga- tion told the police the amount of the loss.
 Sergeant Anthony Malone and Patrolman Farrar were assigned to the case and Sergt. Malone today said said as yet no arrest has been made.
 The safe however, was discovered this morning in a park in West Ha- ven. The safe was battered open and the contents removed. Nothing at all was inside.
 It is thought the thieves entered the store through a cellar window which fronts on Main street and went quickly upstairs to the safe. It is believed the vehicle in which the safe was removed must have been close to the back door as MT. Sodlosky said it could not have been rolled far without making much noise. Apparently the burg lary was committed between and 4 a. m. when Patrolman Farrar was on another section of his beat.
 This would indicate that the burglars were well acquainted with the policeman's regular rounds and also the store arrangement. No re- port of an abandoned safe being found has yet been given, it is be- lieved.
 No arrest has been made yet in the attempted holdup at the But terrified plant last week when Will

(SpeciaI to Democrat)

Naugatuck, Nov. 15-Report of two thefts over the weekend amount ing to about $500, has alarmed some businessmen here. Police are work ing on the cases now. The local of- flee of the United Rubber Workers Union in the building on the corner of South Main street and Maple street was entered Friday night, it was learned today from union off, cialS, and checks and cash amount ing to $100 were taken.
 Sunday morning A 500-pound safe containing $400 in cash and a num- Der of valuable papers, was stolen from the drug store on North Main street, Union City owned by Edward J. Sodlosky.
 These two cases and the holdup attempt at the T. F. Butterfield com pany plant on Rubber avenue las week indicate there may be con- certed crime campaign here and have police on their toes.
 However the theft from the Rub- Der Workers office seems to be an inside" job. There is no indication that the lock or door was damaged and it is believed the thief or thieves used key. The office is on the third floor of the building and faces directly on Main street. The build ing is located just south of the po- lice traffic booth on Main street.
 The theft was discovered by workers there Saturday morning, but no public announcement of it was made. As war as is known, no ar- rest has yet been made.
 Daring Store Theft
 The drug store theft was daring one and apparently was well planned. The safe was located in the front part of the store near the soda fountain. It was equipped with rollers and apparently the thieves did not have much trouble getting it to the back door. A stair way there is clipped, which indi-

Naugatuck, Nov. IS = Work of ex- tending Park avenue at its present end through Hillside avenue to Sherman street will start soon as a WPA project, it was announced to- day by Warden John Sheridan.
 A street will be run through what Is now wooded area from Park ave- hue extension to Sherman street Later this winter a storm sewer will be placed from Park avenue at the corner of Park avenue and Grove street through this new extension to Sherman street.
 After that walks, curbs and gut ters will be placed on the new road This latter work will probably not get started before next spring at the earliest.
 Warden Sheridan explained the reason for the new street is that at present there is no outlet for storm and sanitary sewers on Park ave- nue and Quinn street, as the waters could not be allowed to run out into the wooded sections without install lation of a storm sewer.
 There have been number of complaints in recent years because of the wet condition caused by this lack of an outlet and the warden feels that residents of that section will be delighted by this contemp- lated improvement.
 He says it will abolish the former trouble and thus do away with a condition which has been bother for some time.
 The laying of the street will be begun very soon. Then the storm sewer work will follow.
