Her voice was low and soft and
musical, matching the quiet symmetry
of her face and the repose of her
hands. She was smart without eXag-

NJ Duchemin she was a miracle.
To Simon Templar she was a
quickening of interest and hint OF
adventure that might lead anywhere
or nowhere. His eye for charm was no
slower than M Duchemin's, but there
was more in it than that.
To Simon Templar, who had been
called the most audacious bandit of
the II century, the subject was always
new and fascinating. And he had an
impish sense of humor which couldn't
resist the thought of what the other
members of the audience would have
said and done if they had known that
the man who was listening to their
conversation about bandits was the
notorious Saint himself.
Are YOU more interested in the
mountains or the bandits?" he asked
in French as Partisan as her own.
She turned to him with friendly
brown eyes in which there was trace
of subtle mockery.

WOULD WIPE WORTHLESS
LOANS OFF STATE BOOKS

State Treasurer Ray N. Shannon
said he had taken steps designed to
wipe from the books of the state nearly
100000 worth of loans made in 1918
and "outlawed for six or seven years."
The treasurer, in a letter to Gov.
Roy E. Ayers, said, at seems advis-
able that the legislative assembly
should write these loans off our books
as loss to the state
Treasurer Shannon said the state
in March, 1918, sold 100000 of war
defense bonds, the money being loaned
principally to farmers Of the state for
feed loans, seed loans and other pur-
poses during war times.
These loans were called war defense
loans and since that time all but $751;
073.90 have been paid back and the
bonds retired. The official said, how
ever, the statute of limitations had
made that amount worthless.

He scooped water up in his hands
and drank and splashed it over his
face. 1t was numbingly cold, but it
steamed off his arms in the hot, dry
air. She knelt down and drank beside
him.
"C'est bon, ca!' She sat back on her
heels and looked up at the hills that
hemmed them in.
A kind of shy happiness lighted her
eyes, almost uncertainty, as if it had
not been there for a long time and
felt itself a stranger. II understand

hands puzzedly. Il don't know. I sup
pose you have the air of a man who
is used to being asked impossible
things. You look as if you would do
them"
Il do" said the Saint modestly.
1t was his own answer, too. She was
a damsel in distress-and no damsel
in distress had ever called on the Saint
in vain. And she was beautiful, also,
which was a very desirable asset to
damsels in distress. And about her
there was a mystery, which to Simon
Templar was the trumpet call of ad-
venture.
In the late afternoon, at one of the
bends in the trail where 1t dipped to
the level of the river, the Saint refined
in his mule and dismounted at the
waters edge.
Are we there?" she asked.

LAWSUIT REVIVES
 COURT INCIDENTS
Mrs. Samaha, Plaintiff, Surprised, Embarrassed
 By Publication of Facts

Some rather unpleasant past and present court history was revived yesterday in the filing of the suit of Selma Samaha against Susie Testa in which damages of $10,000 were asked for injuries suffered by Mrs. Samaha when she fell into an unprotected well on the defendants property.
 Mrs. Samaha was a former occu- pant of the premises in which the abandoned well is located. In jrls- tice to her it must be recorded that she did not know the personal background of her former landlord, having rented the house through an agency. With the filing of the papers and a review of the personal history of the brother of the de- fendant, Mrs. Samaha was given considerable publicity, which she claims may be interpreted to her disadvantage and with injury to her personal reputation.
 Mrs. Samaha resided in the house located at All Highland avenue for about a year before learning any, thing concerning the stories that linked the name of her landlord, Alesandro DeNicola with a number of law-breaking incidents, one of which resulted in DeNicola being committed to a federal prison. Mrs. Samaha then made arrangements to find another location for her home.
 In view of the excellent reputa- ton Mrs. Samaha has enjoyed in Waterbury for many years the dis closure of several incidents of which she had no knowledge caused un- warranted embarrassment which she and her many friends have rea- son to regret.

Commissioner John G. Goss, speaking on behalf of the economy committee, said he had been told informally that the Board of Works plans to place the stagger system in operation. The committee, he said, had rejected a plan whereby present salary expenditures would be continued by transfers of var ious sums from other items.
 200 Men Employed
 City Engineer Charles A. Root re- ported that work on WPA storm water sewer projects, employing 200 men, will have to be halted be- cause no funds are available to pay the city's share of the work. The citys contribution, he said, should be $22,0OO of a total of $96000, with the government paying the re- mainder.
 Work on Bank street storm sewers and other important projects will have to be ended this week, MT. Root stated. Authorities are hope full that the WPA employees can be transferred to other projects.
 Transfer of $500 from the con- tingency fund to the city clerk for payment of advertising the proposed city manager charter was voted, on recommendation of the economy committee. The charter text will be printed in full in The Democrat and the American.
 -t,k, Af and Albert Taller reported that bids are being secured for printing work in connection with the city mana ger referendum. The bids will be submitted to the economy commit tee next Wednesday night.
 Expenses Protested
 A protest was received from the board of education against having expenses resulting from a WPA project at Muicahy school being charged to the school department. The project has caused an increase of $ll2 in light bills and $14 in janitor service, the school board claimed. The finance board re- ferred the protest to Controller Mar tin J. Sweeney.
 Transfer of $43,000 from the sur plus resource sinking fund to the Huntingdonm avenue bridge bond fund was voted on recommendation of the controller. Earlier, the board had turned into the surplus resource fund a total of $4l ,000 reported col lected oin back taxes and assess ments.

.FHemen Rescue
Neighbors From
Sulphur Fumes

Some 120 burning sulphur candles
can cause a powerful scent, particu-
larly when you live next door.
That was the sentiment of the
neighbors around 1755 N street NV
yesterday when sulphur fumes start
ed seeping through the doors and
windows. So they summoned the
fire rescue squad.
Those stalwarts entered the five
story house by an unlocked third
floor window. One whiff and they
donned gas masks. Then they wan
dered fascinated through the house
Instead of the two or three candles
usually used to fumigate each floor
they found as many as six and eight
in o. single room.
So thick was the smoke that the
interior was like dark cave. They
groped around. locating the candles
and extinguishing them. They
figured they found about 12O candles
IN the 30-room house.
Then they flung open every door
and window and let the fumes rise
on the twilight air They left a po-
liceman to guard the house and ex-
plain things to the owner, DR.. J. E
Miller.
DR.. Miller explained to a reporter
that the fumigation job was in the
hands of some one he had employed
to clean up the house before he
moved his offices there.

Trade Agreements.
President Roosevelt appointed Mr..
Grady Assistant Secretary of State
in August to succeed Francis B.
Sayre, now high commissioner Of the
Philippines.
At the time he was sworn in, Mr..
Grady told reporters he saw little
possibility of the United States
reaching economic agreements with
Germany or the other totalitarian
powers because there was not a
common meeting ground" The rea-
son, he said, was that their system
of operation was Numerically op-

Wallace viii Make
Bid for Farm Belt
Support Of Program
Cabinet Member Will
Make Speaking Tour
Of Midwest
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS-
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
will go into the Midwest this week
for a series of speeches bidding for
farm belt support of the adminis-
tration's agricultural program and,
some politicians predict, support for
himself for the 1910 Democratic
presidential nomination.
The New Deals Agriculture chief
will address meeting of cotton and
wheat farmers at Oklahoma City
Friday and before returning to
Washington will speak also at Chi
cago, st. Paul and Des Moines.
Associates declared Secretary WAL
lace's principal objectives were to
counter Republican bids for farm
support and to seek support for leg
islative improvements" in the pres
ent farm programs. 1t was said he
would renew pleas for some form of
processing tax to raise funds for
farm benefits.
Fear for Farm Funds.
The Secretary is fearful, friends
said, that demands on the Treasury
for defense measures may be so
large that it will be difficult to OBJ
tain congressional appropriations
for farm subsidies unless new tax
measures are enacted.
Administration farm leaders are
anxious, it was said, to secure from
the next Congress subsidy appropri-
ations equal to the SITS 100000 ap-
propriated by the last Congress.
Advocates of large farm appropri-
ations believe it will be easier to
win Congress approval for them
because 1910 is an election year.
Many politicians in both major par
ties have expressed the opinion that
the outcome of the presidential elec-
ton may depend on how the West
ern farm belt votes.
In addition to the Oklahoma CITY
address, Secretary Wallace will
speak on this trip at Chicago De-
cember 4. the University of Chicago
Round Table; Chicago, December
5, the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton; Des Moines, December s,
Master Farmers. and St. Paul. De-
cember IA, the Farmers Union.
To Speak in Des Moines.
The Agriculture chief also will GO
back to the Midwest after the first
Of the year. The politically minded
will pay particular attention to
speech he is to make at a Jackson
day gathering of home-State Demo-
Gratis at Des Moines, Iowa. January
8. Some believe this affair may
launch a campaign to make Mr..
Wallace IoWa's "favorite son" for
the presidential nomination.
AS yet. the Secretary has made no
move indicating he has White House
aspirations. In fact, he has pub
licly Endorsed President Roosevelt
for third term.
1t is known, however. that friends
of Secretary Wallace look on him
as a presidential possibility in the
event Mr.. Roosevelt does not run
again.
Secretary Wallaces speech at
Oklahoma City is expected, in addi-
tion to advocating new tax meas
ure to support farm programs, to
urge Southern cotton growers to ap-
prove, for the third consecutive year,
the imposition Of marketing con-
trolls on the 1910 cotton crop
The 2,500,000 growers of this
group will vote December on such
a proposal. Supporters of Mr.. Wal
lace are ready to interpret approval
of the marketing controls as new
Endorsement of his policies by one
of the most important farm groups
of the Nation.
