No Judgeships To Be Announced
 Until June 3Oth

Job seeking lawyers in the city of Waterbury can relax for the next eight days because it has been learned that the g0v- ernor will not make any local judgeship appointments until the 30th of June. This comes as surprising news to many in Waterbury who have expected that the governor would make the appointments momentar- lily.
 The governor is leaving for the Worlds Fair today where he will be the guest of honor, so t0 speak, in recognition of Con- necticut Day (Thursday) at the fair.
 Many people iron. this city are planning on attending the fair during Connecticnut day.

hood of a relief ship getting
through.
The storm continued for hours.
Presently the passengers gave up
hope of the rescue ships arriving
and retired to the quarters Mrs.
Sprague assigned them. Bart, Jor-
dan and Frost, the co-pilot, were
together. Bart explained to them
briefly what he planned to do. Then
he slipped out and returned to the
now darkened living room. He went
to the set and began calling Hills
boro. After long while, faint and
barely audible, Hillsboro came in.
Bart gave their position, then a
voice behind him said: "All right,
pilot! Get. your hands up!"'
He turned to find Sprague stand
ing behind him with a gun. He
wasn't surprised. Sprague was no
longer the genial host. His eyes
cleaned wickedly.
you should have had sense
enough to let well enough alone,
pilot. We hoped to acquire the
plans and get away in our own
plane, which is hidden down the
valley, without hurting any one.
Since you know so much :"
Sprague raised the gun in his hand.
Look out behind!" Bart yelled
suddenly. Sprague half turned.
Bart leaped at him. The gun ex-
ploded harmlessly. A door behind
the fireplace flew open and Riddle
and Mrs. Sprague came running in
with guns. Bart was glad he had
mentioned his suspicious to Jordan
and Frost. AS it was, they barely
arrived in time to save him. Frost
shot the gun out of Riddles hand
and Mrs. Sprague quit with shrek
of terror.
After it was over Bart contacted
Hillsboro again and urged them
to hurry with the relief ship.
II can't figure it out" Jordan
said. Il distinctly heard Sprague
conversing with the Hillsboro op-
orator"
mo, you didn't" said Bart.
"Sprague was talking with Riddle,
who was in the next room sitting

Bart didn't like the looks of it..
To begin with, 1t was highly in
credible that the ship could run
out of gas. In the second place,
this cabin was comparatively new.
He smiled to himself. His imagina-
ton was running away with him.
He wished now that Curtis Jordan
hadn't told him that he (Jordan)
was carrying the plans for the new
naval bombers to Washington. Only
he and Jordan knew about the
plans and only he and Jordan were
concerned about the forced landing.
Two men and woman occupied
the cabin. They weren't trappers,
as was logical to suppose. All three
were educated, cultured.
Were snow surveyors" the ap-
parent leader of the trio explained.
I'm Dudley Sprague. This is my
wife. The other gentleman is Clay
Riddle, my assistant"
Snow surveyors?" Bart frowned.
Government employees. We meas
ure and weigh the winters snow
fall and can thereby estimate the
spring water flowage into the dry
regions for irrigation and power
purposes"
Bart accepted the information
without comment and returned to
the grounded liner. He'd get a
message off to Hillsboro at once.
He sat down before the instrument
board and threw a switch. Nothing
happened. Bart worked over the
radio for half an hour, then gave
up. He was scowling when he re-
turned to the cabin.
The passengers were sitting around
the cabins living room, apparently
enjoying themselves. Only Curtis
Jordan looked worried. He had
the briefcase containing the plans
clutched in his lap.
Radios out of order" Bart said
fatty. Some one of us will have
to walk outside"
There was silence. Dudley Sprague
smiled pleasantly. It's SO miles to
the nearest town. 1t would take you
week" He gestured toward a table
near the fireplace. The Govern
ment," he continued, requires that
we maintain a small receiving and
sending set. Since yours is out of
order, we'll contact Killsboro for
you"
Bart was puzzled and a little
ashamed that he had suspected any
one of tampering with the ships
equipment. Sprague clamped on
some earphones and presently a
voice came over the loudspeaker
clear and distinct. Sprague ex-
planned what had happened and
the voice said that a relief ship

After that the

prepare something

were eating thun-

He smiled. II didn't like the looks
OF things from the first. Then I
noticed that Riddle was absent when
Sprague put through his message.
But what really sold me on the
trick was the fact that the alleged
Hillsboro operators voice came in
so clear and distinct. I've been
flying this route for years. There's
pocket here. Radio reception Is
almost impossible" He smiled again.
