 A capacity crowd is certain. Nau- gatuck, not too impressive in its earlier tilts, showed good form last night especially on defense. Anso- mia was held to three field goals. The visitors made good nine out of their IA foul tries and the Foley men caged 10 out of Is free shots.
 Dunn, a substitute last year, again led the team in scoring with seven points. Loman and Garlinski each tallied six points for Nauga- tuck. Elise scored six for the wis., itors.
 The Foleymen tallied 12 points before the visitors scored and led 1T-3 at the end of the first period They drew away to a 27-7 lead at half-time, increased it to 35-13 in the third period and held the wis., itors to two points in the final quarter. The local defense work was high light of the night, Cud- dy and Czaplicki turning in fine games.

CHAPTER V

When Janet entered the apart ment, she found Aunt Mary and Cynthia together in the living room.
 At something conspiratorial in the faces they turned toward her as she went in, her sopping shoes making little squishy noises on the polished floor, she laughed.
 "What skulduggery are you two up to now?" she demanded. Some thing else I'm not supposed to know? After all, whose wedding is this?"
 Not at all," said the old lady briskly. T didn't really intend to tell you until after the marriage; but I suppose therell be no peace now until you find out. Since we shan't be needing so much room after you're gone, I'm taking a smaller apartment next month"
 Something speciouSly cheerful in the old lady's voice, and the hint of warning in the swift glance she cast toward her granddaughter ar rested Janet's attention.
 Where are you going?" she asked.
 i've been considering the Ava lon"
 Janet paused in the act of remov- ing her coat to turn incredulously.
 "One of those chicken coops?" she cried. But, Aunt Mary, you couldn't stand being penned up there! And what would you do with all your beautiful things? They'd never fit in with that ginger-bready joint"
 She looked about the charming room, with its high ceiling, its dig nif1ed vistas, its deep, rich rugs, its books and gleaming mahogany.
 "It had occurred to me that you and Lance might find room for some of the larger pieces until you have time to look around for just what you want And in any event." Aunt Mary finished tartly, "here are such institutions as stor- age vaults
 You'd better not tempt me too far, Aunt Mary. It will be years be- fore Lance and I could find any thing as beautiful as some of your liafrlooms. But you might as well put yourself in storage, too, as try to live in one of those two-by-four cells at the Avalon. You've always said you couldn't breathe in small rooms.

 MT. Bryant, an old friend Of Janet's father, was the attorney who had managed her modest for tune for her these last years.
 "Oh, MT. Bryant" Janet said, T was practically on my way to call you. I'm afraid I'll have to have 8 little extra money this month if I'm to go to the altar an honest woman. haven't opened my bills yet, but I know they're terrifying"
 On one or two other occasions MT. Bryant had cheerfully arranged advances for her.
 "Why, I think it can be man. aged" he said after barely per- ceptible pause. T suppose getting married is an expensive business. And hereafter you can let your husband worry about the bills. That's what husbands are for-ha! ha! What I wanted to ask you is if you can find time to run down to see me tomorrow morning. There are some matters I think we ought to go into at this time."
 Janet promised and hung up a little impatiently.
 In order to keep the appointment she would have to hurry the dress maker, skip the hairdresser, and perhaps be unpardonably late for 8 luncheon given in her honor.

Peru Tops l6,OOO Feet
 In New Andes Highway

HOUR years ago foreign engi-
 neers told the Peruvian gov- ernment that a road linking the Pacific coast with the Amazon river would cost billions of dol- lars. The government couldn't spend billions, so it called in young engineer Enrique Pimentel, assigned him to the staggering task. He told the state he could build the highway without pro- hibitive expense.
 Into the jungles and over the towering heights of the Andes went Pimentel and his hardy staff. Walking and swimming and climbing and padding they sur veyed a route out of sheer rock, over the 16,000-foot backbone of the continent, down into the Equatorial jungle to the Anna zon's most westward navigable tributary, the Rio Ucayali.
 Following them closely, native road crews, using American ma- chinery, blasted and hacked and carved out the highway. Men were cut of from food supplies for weeks, subsisted on game, wild fruits and bark. They had to learn to build roads quickly when it was dry, change their technique as they went along. The l6,000- foof Andes wera me pr0h1enn the swampy jungle another.
 Today only 70 miles of the road remains to be graded and sur- faced. In less than a year freight will leave the Pacific coast, travel up over the Andes and down to the Amazon river in five days. It now takes weeks by circuitous freighter route to bridge the same gap. The new road, probably the highest in the world, will link eastern and western South
