It was a bulf mile to the near-est house with a telephone.

"Central" Is on th. Job The trooper rode hard and fast' to that telephone line. It was his only means of spreading the alarm and getting help from the outside, "Central," as ulways, was on the Job. "Get every state trooper around here and send 'era her double quick the lone trooper shouted along the wire. Within an hour, eight men, patrolling thut section of the woods country, had answered the alojrm and bad reached the scene.

Then came the man hunt For ten days and ten nights every road, every byway, every trail was combed by the troopers to "get their roan." For ten days and nights Pasco evaded his pursuers. During those ten days the telephone lines hummed sporadically with the reports of one trooper, to another, following and clews which might lead to the whereabouts of the woods country's bad man. On the eleventh day two rangers, beating through the forest, saw a mov ing object. There was a quick jump Into the underbrush, but the movement of the fugitive was not as speedy as the swing of the rifle to the trooper's shoulder. The bullet crashed through the leaves and underbrush and struck home.

Pasco, czar of the woods covin. try," fell dead. The horseman In grav had got his man. How Troopers Were Signalled After the event became history some of the troopers told how they had been called by "Central." One was trotting down a country road when a small boy rushed feverishly from a farm house. "Mr.

Trooper," he shouted in high pitched voice, "call up central. There's been a murder or Something The trooper dismounted and called back. He got the first alarm of the Pasco murder. Another trooper was riding down Main street that, parade ground of Bmall town life. As he passed the telephone office "Central" shouted from her window and gave the trooper the alarm.

Not long ago, when 100 troopers were called for strike duty in Albany during the street car tieup anil incidental disturbances there, the night toll operators in the White Plains central office got word from the headquarters of Troop near that city, to round up the riien out on patrol. Other operators In headquarters' towns got the same call. The night toll force at White Plains worked for three hours at a steady clip getting word to men of Troop who were awSy from barracks. By morning they were on their way to Albany. Booze Truck in This Haul Not long ago in a county bordering on the St.

Lawrence river, where rum-running from Canada had been more or, less frequent until the troopers put a stop to such byplay, a constable gave the alarm that a motor truck was speeding down the road obviously laden with contraband whisky. He called "Central, ordered her to find the state troopers, estimated the speed of the truck and when lt should reach town. "Central" located the trooper and within a. short" time the motor truck with Its liquid cargo was confiscated and the rum-runners put under arrest. A horse and buggy were stolen in Eagle Bridge, Rensselaer county.

Troop 0, at Albany, was notified. The sergeant glanced at the patrol chart, saw the approximate position of the men on duty In that region and asked "Central" who In this case was "Albany Main" to find them. From town to town the word was passed along until at last a telephone operator saw the gray riders trotting past the telephone office and hailed them. From barracks the troopers received descriptions of the horse and Its robber. One hour and three-quarters after the complaint was received the thief had been arrested and the horse returned.

WILLIAMS, State Engineer. Th riAssifieds rjlav an important part in modern business. TrooD at Oneida Castle. The Adi- roDdacks sections ore now patrolled ij Troop operating from Malone, while Troop Is on the Job In the tooth-central portion of the State, with Sidney aa headquarters. The Hudson river country, from Saratoga south to Poughkeepale, Is covered by Troop at Albany.

The southernmost post Is near White Plains, where Troop covers the Newburgh district on one side of the river and Westchester on the other side, with finger patrols projecting Into Iong Island. The high degree of efficiency In rural police work attained by the troopers Is attributable, in a largo measure, according to Major George V. Chandler, commandant, to the assistance and co-operation of "Central" hy her command of the New York Telephone Company's state-wide system of communication. "I want the state troopers, quick Is an uppeal which flashes hundreds of times a year over the telephone wires to the ever-ready telephone op-rator at her switchboard. She Is the silent partner of the gray horsemen, and there's not a man In the trooper service who doesn't sing loudly his praisa for "Central." Almost daily these guardians of the rural peace go galloping down the country roads, like modern Paul Reveres.

But the signals which send them on their missions, whether at midnight or midday, are not lanterns In ihuich belfries. Usually they are much smaller llghts-7-a signal lamp which flashes only for a- second on a telephone switchboard in an adjacent town. Then the telephone operator, hearing the alarm, speeds them on their way. On coming Into a town one of the first things a trooper does Is to call the operator, ask if there have been any toll calls for him and advise the operator of Ids whereabouts during his stay in that vicinity. The trooper's organization is an outpost, or wlthln-the-lines, police service, which depends on adequate means of communication and definite Information.

TBe statewide telephone system' Elves them this, means of communication in handling thousands of cases each year. Most of the roles played by the telephone are big, vital and thrill-'ng- -1 A Thriller Troopers like to tell about the Pasco case of last year. Pasco was the czar of the North Woods. From his cabin In Warren county he ruled his bailiwick with mailed fist and held his neighbors, in awe. He was a dead shot with the rifle, a born woodsman and a bad man.

He had been making as was bis wont, among his neighbors of the oods, and with one In particular, tbey say, over a bag of potatoes. Two troopers were called in to settle this ne roan Tong war. The spot for the Peace conferedce was a narrow road "ear Pasco's cubln, with underbrush deep on each side of the trail Pasco nd his enemy held the stage, while the troopers posted themselves as sec-ends. Agreement waS reached. The Diplomatic negotiations were successful.

i'asco turned to go. He walked a few paces, wheeled around, fired two -shot at his enemy-neighbor, killing Mm instantly, fired a third shot at one ff the troopers, wounding him in the thigh, and then disappeared In the underbrush. Pasco had planned this culmination carefully. Xue surviviuj trooper found himself.
