They were never satisfied and never will be with the number of suc- cessful prosecutions of profiteers and dodgers. They, the people of his country, now “have to be shown.” The Sing Sing record helps. And in matters political this tendency of the people to demand re- sults will become more and more evident.

The indictment, which forms a volume of 475 pages has been sent to the Assizes Court and the investigating Judge Bonin, heaving a great sigh of relief, announced that the case was now out of his hads. Maitre de Moro- Giafferi, who was one of the defense for Caillaux will be counsel for the accused Gambais man Landru has appealed to the Court of Cassatio against the setence for swindling. Judge Bonin told him the appeal would delay trial for murder and thus deprive him of a chance to prove his innocence before gext March. “I am in no hurry,” responded Ladru, whose dry wit has made him a hard customer for the judge. “By the way, just to set matters right, I have not the slightest desire to prove my innocence; I understand it up to you to prove my guilt.” “All right,” replied the Judge, “post- poned until the March Assizes.” “I should wor Landru retorted as a parting shot, “My alleged victims, my self or you have died of old age before the Assizes have seen any one of us.’ CHRISTMAS DINNERS.

Not in many months have I been so angry at Dicky as I was when I heard his calm announcement that he had cancelled the reservation which I had expressly ordered the ticket agent to keep. If thare had been no housing crisis awaiting me at home I should have vielded gracefully to his dictum, even though his procedure was not partic- ularly calculated to increase any adult human beinz’s self-respect. But the thought that he was ether stubbornly | ignorant of or cruelly indifferent to the tasks before me made me so fur- ious that I had hard work to force my tongue and face to the chilly compos- ure I wished. “Will you please repeat that?” I said, idly, at last.” “I cannot believe | that I heard you aright.” Dicky stared at me. “Getting on your high horse, aren’t you?” he asked. *“‘But it won't do you a d—n bit of good.

And what are you going to do about it?’ I wanted to screanj, to fly at him as a temper-tossed child might do. But, instead, T chose a far more effective | course; I looked at him a moment steadily, then I turned on my heel. Madge Is Prepared. “Nothing—just now,” I said evenly, walking out of the room father’s, which I knew was empty, having gone for his morning walk. With a sudden thought that such a strategic move might be wise, I had no sooner entered it than, leaving the door open, I darted noiselessly down the hall to the sleeping portch which Dicky and I occupied, snatched up my packed suitcase and bag, and ran back with them to my father’s room, con- cealing them in his closet. Then I darted back again. I was assured by the sound of the angry | voices coming from the living room, that Dicky would have far too much on hand with his mother's wrath to bother with my movements for some mnutes to come, so I gathered my hat, traveling suit and all the little things | wits, | also, which 1 had spread out ready for my | journey, and took them back to my | father’'s room. No sooner had I tri- umphantly salvaged the last article ! than I locked the door, and, sit of a Wife and he, no doubt, would think it a most ‘natural thing for Dicky to can cel my reservation with him. But it { I should go down and demand it again | I would be lowering my dignity ana Dicky’s and give an opportunity for ! unkind comment upon the part of the village gossips, of whom 1 guessed there were many. Not that I cared a whit for Dicky’s dignity in those first minutes of white hot anger against him. But I have al- ways fireaded anything which would be apt to attract comment to my af- ! fairs, and I realized only too well how effectively Dicky, whether premedi- tately or not, had tied my hands. ‘What She Feared. I sprang to my feet, threw wide open the window, then began to pace up and down, my infallible remedy for clearing my brain when I want to think out a situation. In a flash it came to me! There were half a dozen other sta- tions within easy motor access of Cedar Crest. I would summon a taxi, go to any one of them, and get a ticket as far as Richmond. From there on I would trust to luck and my own Thanks to Dicky’s liberal allow- ance, my own prudence, and my fath- er's generosity, I was provided with plenty of money for almost any emerg- ency, including the possibility of hav- ing to hire motor cars from one town to another through Virginia and the states North. My spirits, almost my good humor, came rushing back to me at this plan. There has always been something in me which longed for adventure, some- thing to happen outside the beaten track of things. And since Dicky’s re- turn from the war and the close of the episode of Milly Stockbridge’s death, life had flown in fairly even channels for me. This trip promised all sorts of ex- citing possibilities if the tales of the railroad strike were not exaggerated. It had the zest of a thing forbidden, and was not tainted by any qualms of conscience on my part. I was a woman, experienced in travel- ing, would be in no danger, was leav- ing no responsibility behind, and was | sorely needed at my destination. There | was only Dicky’s very certain displeas- | ure in the way, and I am afraid that | in my wrath against him I didn’t spend | much time over that objection.
