A mysterious stranger caused

dressed in a light palm beach suit.
entered More news store and
ordered an ice cream cone and then
settled down on a chair in the cor-

an hour closely observing all who

One of East Norwalk's greatest
mysteries. as seen by the Liberty
square business men. is the question
of why the short section of street
at the start of the Fort Point street
has never been properly paved. A
dosen times a day motorists have
narrow escapes rounding the corner
in front of the Oanevari store from
Van Zent street into Seaview avenue
inpreference to striking the rough
going on the short alley that con-
nects the two in back of the block.

The coolest man for many miles
around when the sun bells and turns
pavements hot enough to fry eggs is
Charles B. Whittaker of Winfield
street. superintendent of the Roger
Ludlow school. He does hie walking
in any kind of heat with head pro--
tected by one of the Indian rush
helmets popular in the‘Brltish trop-
ical colonies. This type of but has
the advantage over the heavier com-
position and pith helmets because of
its light weight. . .
Work on the re-errangement of
the trolley tracks on Fifth street
and We avenue will not be started
until after the 38rd. when _the con-
tractor starts‘ripping up the pave-
ment in preparation for the new. ac-
cording to Superintendent Thomas
lilacLean of the Connecticut oom-
DID“
. . .
There is a possibility that the East
Norwalk Coal company may make
some kind of an appeal to the police
department to prevent double line
parking on Osborn avenue. The
street is one of the section's ner-
roweet but in spite of the fact steps
have never been taken to put up
the necessary no parking signs on
one side.
At no time is there more than
enough room for more than an aver-
age sine automobile to pass between
the lines end the trip for a. coal
truck is almost impossible. accord-
ing to James H. McNel-ncy. proprie-
tor of the company.

I've heard. the department have al-
ready put detectives on his track.
but I've heard of no response as yet.
Though. of course. it's too soon to;
expect it. I don't know Heath aw-i ;-
fully well. after all. Do any of y- -
fellows know anything—er—unsa
factory about him?" a.
"Shady. you mean?" asked Black. '
“Yes-or queer—peculiar. Eccen-
tric. Anything. in fact, out of the
ordinary. The sort of thing a chap
wouldn't tell of an acquaintance. ex- ‘-
oept in such circumstances as these '
we're ow facing. if any one knows
anythi g detrimental to Perry
Heath. I hold it is his duty to tell it."-
“I agree with that." Anderson
spoke decidedly. "Personally. I w .
know nothing. I'm not very well ‘
acquainted with him. but when I ‘
learned he was to be a rival candi-
date for the club presidency. I nat-
urally looked up his record." .
"Where'd you and it?" asked Cun— /'
ninghem. eagerly. 7
"Oh. I don't mean in official nice.
I just salted a. few club members. I
found out nothing definitely ngainet
him. and not much definitely for
him. He seemed to be rather color-
less. I thought."
"Yes. that's Perry." said Wally
Forbes. "Good enough. all round
sort. but nothing startling about him.
If he committed this murder. it's
the first exciting incident of his life.
I'm sure. He loved a good time, he
is out-doorsy. and he‘s a genial chap.
I think it was his general placidity
and good nature that made the Gar
dens people choose him for their cam
didate. lost of them are so tern-
peramental.~ they are unfltted for
such a post as president of a. club."
"He's welcome to the election. if
he'll come back for it." Sun Ander-
son said. speaking with obvious sin-
cerity. "I don't care a. rep for it.
dunno whatever made me consent to
run.” .
"There are others.” vouchsafed ,
Black. “Garrison's a favorite."
“Hope he'll get it. then." Anderson
said. but his tone was notouite no
genuine now. 2
Cunningham departed. with d
cheery word as to his own success.
and from, the clubhouse. he wandered
back. over the bridge to The Gar
dens.
As he went. he mused on the dif-:
forencs of atmosphere in the two‘
sides of Gaybrook Harbor. . .
And it occurred to him. that.
though on the Park side. the house-l
holders were rather formal and a. MI, ,.
stiff. on the Gardens side. there was ; ”
far more camaraderie and what
might be called neighborly sociabil-
ity.
This led him to wonder if any-
thing vmight be learned from tho
neighbors of the Heaths.
