Naugatuck, June 26-An opinior from the borough attorney as ts whether or not funds set up fol one item in the street department budget can legally be used for an. other item in that budget is ex. pected to be made to the Boarc Of Warden and Burgesses at itS July meeting next Tuesday night.
 The board met until il:20 last night in an informal session to dis cuss the question of a street depart ment increase. No formal meeting was called and no decision was reached.
 Burgesses Joseph Dinneny and Anthony Tangredi and a committed representing the street department men urged that $5,00o or Q $6,900 item listed as capital outlay" un- der equipment" in the street de- partment budget, and intended for purchase of Q mechanical shovel, be used instead to provide the request- ed increase.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy said he did not know whether such Q step would be legal In that the freemen ape proved an itemized budget. After long hours of wrangling, 1t was agreed informally that the warden will seek on opinion as to the legality of this from the borough attorney.
 A petition, said to be signed by b3 names of freemen, which res quested e special meeting of the freemen be called was read by Borough Clerk Charles P. Daly, af- ter he was given 1t by Burgess Dinneryh who received 1t from the street department committee.
 The petition said the meeting of the freemen would be flor the pur- pose of providing an increase of wages in the amount of 10 cents an hour for all employees of the street department" with the meet ing to be held ct the discretion of the burgesSes.
 Warden Bropby said such e petl- ton would mean asking the free. men to lay 6 special tax and said the amount sought for such an increase should Do specified in the petition. Burgess Dinneny said 1t would not mean 0 special tax, that the intention was to give the board the right to transfer the s 900 from capital outlay to the payrooll item but the warden pointed out 1t was not go worded. No action on the petition was taken nor was 1t for- fnaliy presented because the board was not in ail actual fromal neet- Ing. After some discussion, 1t was then agreed to seek the borough attorneys opinion on tho boards rights to use the funds in capital outlay for another purpose.
 Sees SS,000 Deficit
 The warden asserted that there vas about 8i7,000 left in the payroll appropriations as of June 2l. The present. weekly payroll is now S6bs ,er week and Supt. of Streets Har- id Murtha said he sees no way o cut the present force.

arrive at Nottaway posing as surveyors.

Reds blue eyes twinkled as he
watched Finlay read. "Some skirt
snatcher-this boy!" he chuckled.
There were CLEANS of light in Fin
lays gray eyes as he handed the
letter to Malone. "Read that, Red,
while talk with Blaise." Drawing
Blaise aside Garry gave him the
gist of the message. 'Is it trick?"
he asked.
"F'or sure!" came the cultural re-
Spouse. "Old trick! He bait you wild
woman!"
Garry slowly shook his head.
"Blaise, that girls in trouble! She
couldn't write that way otherwise.
Let's see what Red thinks"
Malone's dubious eyes were still
busy with the sheets of blue paper
in his hand. At last he grunted:
"Huh! That's a tough letter to dope
out, Garry. I'd hate to trust hair
on that black head of hers and yet
it sounds like the living truth. If
it's only scheme to get you to
that beach so they can drill you, I
take off my hat to her, she's
genius"
"Red, / tell you she's desperate!
1sadore couldn't prompt her to write
that letter. It's real. It's a cry from
the depths. But what can be the
trouble there? l knew the night of
the dinner something worried her."
Malone thoughtfully scratched his
head. His eyes wrinkled quizzical-
ly. "Garry, have you happened to
think she's only stepdaughter? l
wonder if-mebbe-he's been both
ering-"
81 thought of that. It's possible
it's Isadore. Let me read it agar"
Garry went over the blue sheets
still family fragrant. Could that girl
possibly act out part like this?
And yet his better judgment told
him the letter was decoy.
"Cool rufhan, this Isadore!" he
speculated. eff he's behind this,
he's had her warn us of just what
he intends to do, to make it sound
right. And he's sized me up as a
half-wit who'll fall for this maiden
in distress stuff. Well, he's right"
When he had been fed, Louis Mi

Finlay was alive with interest.
"Queer? What do you mean?"
every summer, in August, a
plane flies down from the north.
Later, it goes south but it carries

that no prospectors nosing around

"Then he's struck gold and wants

''We don't know but he seems to

Finlay wondered what he had
stumbled into. A plane from the
Bay! What did that mean? Then he
said: "Mrs. Isadore got the drugged
wine intended for us. What did he
intend to do-drop us in the lake,"
''No, l think he wanted to search

CHAPTER TX

Two days later a Peterboro hung
offshore few miles east of 1sa-
dore's fur-post. In the boat man
searched through binoculars for
canoe padded by woman.
eff it's an ambush, Blaise, she
won't show up" insisted Finlay, "for
they'll expect me to land early at
the beach to wait for her. They'll
be there and will hop on me at
once. What would they gain by wait
ing and bringing her into it? She
might get hit"
81 tell you, Red, they'll never let
her come if it's an ambush There'd
be no object in it. If she does come,
she'll see that l trust her-believe in
her. Don't you realize how humiliat-
ing it would be to know that I think
her capable of trucking me like that
that suspect her and am bringing
a guard?"
ooh, l see what you mean, but I
don't like it. I want to be handy in
case of trouble"
Thank you, Red"
Garry again raised the glasses.
"There she is!' he announced, qui-
city. He was conscious of the sud-
den pickup of his heart "Whew!"
he murmured, as a wave of elation
beat through him, "have 1 got it as
bad as that?"
The Peterboro reached the spruce
point and Garry stepped out. $50
long, Blaise! See you soon and I'll
have something to tell! o'-jo',
Red!"
With a wave of his hand Finlay
started on his long walk. Lise Dem
arais was there waiting, when he
reached the white beach. He sud-
denly realized how she had obsessed
his thoughts since he last saw her
gray face that night at Isadore's.
And now, in her desperation she had
turned to him.
Lise stood beside her canoe
Somehow I knew you'd comet"
She grasped his hand.
Warm with color from her long
paddle, she was even lovelier than
he had remembered her. Gould any
man have refused to come after
such a letter."
Eyes, knowing what you do, most
men would have been afraid. They
wouldn't have trusted me-"
"But I'm a mind reader, as told
you. And I'm worried about you,
Lise Demarais."
You're also brave man." There
was look in her sloe-black eyes
that started his blood singing. Let S
sit down. It's long story"
She threw herself on the sand, of

case and lit one herself For time
she smoked, clasping her knees
while she gazed straight before her
under brows like black brush strokes
on her transparent skin.
His eager gaze moved from the
dark cloud of her long bob and the
brilliant eyes to her round throat.

turned to you in my trouble" she
began, unless it's because you're

Forget the survey! I know Tete-
Blanche is after us. I saw him at
the head of the lake. Well take
care of him. I came here to learn
why you've got to leave Isadore's
place and when."
II was frantic when I wrote you.
1t must have sounded delirious and
strained but I was desperate. I'd just
had a terrible scene with Jules. He
insists on my marrying Felix Blon-
dell, his partner. I've refused time
and time again. But he won't listen.
. Blondell handles the business in
Montreal. He's coming in the Au-
gust plane. He drinks hard when
he's here and I'm afraid of him.
Finlay's face was f1int-hard as he
listened.
"Jules told me I'd had my chance
and refused it," she went on, her
breath quickening while her pulse
beat in her throat. "He said when
Blondell came in August I'd have
neither his sympathy nor his protec-
ton. I could take care of myself.
Think of ones stepfather saying
thing like that!"
Finlay's eyes were savage with
dancing lights. "Isadore said that
to your
eyes and more. 1t was CHASTITY!
You don't know Jules Isadore!" she
cried. "He can purr like cat and
be so smooth-so charming. But he's
as pitiless as a wolf. He killed my

THE EXPECTED
AND UNEXPECTED
By =. z. ZONES

A great English leader recently
remarked that ethe thing to expect
is the unexpected" The British
haven't any monopoly on that pc
culiar philosophy. If you want to
prove it for yourself Just check up
on the unexpected changes in public
opinion and the many changes in
policies of your Government during
the past years.
For instance: The unexpected
juIiking of the Embargo Act, the
trade of so destroyer ships to Brit
ain, the universal contempt exhib-
tied towards Neutrality, the compar-
atively noiseless lift of the national
debt limit to S65 billion. OF course
You never expected that your sons
would be drafted when the United
States is allegedly at'peace.
A lot of able citizens of our Re-
public coming to Washington are
emphatic in declaring that Com
gress and the President are putting
through measures and policies that
are acts of war and have no resembl
lance to material expectations Of
pms -OQN Va WoA RAA0 7tAASoO
acts are now for an expected war
that was unexpected even SO short
a time ago as before the last Presi-
Dental election.
Those are only a handful of un-
expected things that were not ex1
pected.
So how can be expected to tell
the readers of this newspaper what
thing will happen next
here in Washington, where this
piece is being written for you to
read It's true I'm in the thick of
things, so I'll try to tell you that:
i expect that Germany will never
cross the English channel. l expect
that the United States is absolutely
safe from invasion. l expect that
of dollars, in money, and
materials will be practically given
TO Britain. 1 expect to report to you
this year, 1871, the unexpected col
lapse and defeat of Germany and
Italy. After that do not know what
to expect.

SANTA CLAUS UNMAsKED

Current plans now call for rails
ing S1,000,000,000 or more per year
Through new taxes and Increases in
existing taxes. And this is but a
start--we can't build and maintain
a twenty or thirty billion dollar mill
itary defense establishment on de-
ficits.
The next inescapable step will be
to assess direct taxes against lar
ger proportion of our population.
That has already been done to a
miner extent, through reductions in
Federal income tax exemptions ap-
proved by the last Congress. The
new Congress will have to- go to
much greater lengths in this direc-
ton to raise needed revenue.
The oil dtheory that we can sup
port the government, no matter how
costly it is, by the easy expedient
of soaking the rich, is at last ex-
posed. The rich-and this goes for
Industries, no less than for individ-
uals--haye about reached the limit
OF their ability to pay, without bring
ing business to a standstill. New
revenue, in large amounts, can be
raised now only by going after those
whose incomes fall in the middle
and lower brackets.
This will give millions of people
their first real and personal know,
ledge of the stake they have in gov
ernment spending and government
debts. It viii show them who, in the
long run, Santa Claus is and why
thrift in government is as indispen-
sable as thrift in the home. Indirect
taxation, no matter how heavy, is
hidden from, and unknown to ma
jority Of the people. 1t is direct tax
alton that hurts. When you get
statement from the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue telling you to remit
five or ten or fifty dollars you be-
gin to understand that your interest
in the cost Of government is just as
real as your interest in the cost of
groceries or rent or clothes.
We are to have taxation on a scale
we never dreamed Of The shock will
be good for us. We will take a new
interest in "our" government as We
learn that we are Santa Claus.
