Fickle and hard as nails. i THIS HAS HAV Sybil Thorne, lovely and INED notori ous, believes hersclf the most mis- | b erable of girls. John Lawience, her ‘youthful lover, missing in Tad. her adored brother, to Valerie West, a frivolous ture. And now her beloved desperately ill and breaking heart, But Sybil has a devoted admirer —Craig Newhall, most eligible bachelor in Boston. Craig persuades her one sunny afternoon to leave her father and drive w.® him through the country. For months Sybil and Craig have had 8 sort of an affair. “Just because a girl likes to pet with a man it's no sign she loves him," af- firms 8ybil. . . And though she bas permitted Craig's carcsses and understood his infatuation she is genuinely surprised when he asks her to marry him. NUW GO ON WIiTH THE STORY HAPTLER “Oh, Craig, Craig. Angcl ton! il grasped his ccat lapels in both hands and, pulling him to ber, kisscd him and pushed him away again, “Dlessed and adorable fool!" “I'd be awfully good to you,” he promised, and taking her hand, raised it to his lips to make a bracelet of kisses on her wrist, Craig did that. Sometimes it was necklaces and sometimes it was bracelets. Whenever it w neck- lace, there was a very particular kiss to nestle in the little hollow “of her throat. Ceremonial kisses, like of sacred stones. Cool and as pearls. . 8ybil took her hand away. me on the lips,” she said. And when he had, she happily, and leaned a shoulder. “Darling," she told him.

The door opened and a great arc of yellow light spread from the kall over the lawn. “They're coming, Craig—the doc- tors.

Moreover, the stipulations made by Great Britain and France prior to their approval of the treaty scems due for a general threshing out on the basis of whetber or not they, in themselves, constitute res- ervations. 8hould the pact be ratified with- out qualification, an official docu- ment of Soviet Kussia would be de- posited for the first time in the state department. Borah In Conference | Chairman Liorah - of the senate| foreign relations committee held | conference yesterday with Secretary Kellogg. He is in favor of the treaty | and long has been a proponent of Russian recognition. After his- dis- cusslon with Kellogg he deciared | that his views were unchanged, and although he declined to be drawn | out with respect to the effect of the | treaty on recognition of the Soviet| government, he did say that he was ery well satistied with the preseni situation.” He expressed the opinien | that the treaty would be ratitied | without reservation. | The state department holds that recognition of Soviet Russia will be involved in mo way in erican | ratitication of the treaty. Depositiing | the Russian government's instru- ment of adherence in Washington it views as a mechanical detail. It has been pointed out that a reservation was attached By the United States to the international sanitary convention of which Soviet Russia also 1s & signatory, which de- clared that the Washington govern- ment did not thereby recognize “a regime or entity acting as a govern- ment of a signatory or adhering power when that regime of entity fs not recognized by the United States as the government of that power.” It has been suggested that such a reservation may be attached to the peace treaty, but this has not‘ vet been incorporated in a definite proposul. No Reservations Senator Borah declared that the Prench and British stipulations could not be construed as affecting the treaty itself. And added that the senate was called upon to consider only the content matter of the doc- ument, here are no reservations,” said. Fourteen nations remained today | to respond to the invitation of the| United States for world-wide ad-| herence. The approval of China and Spain was received yeserday, bring ing the total of the states endorsing he the treaty to 35, in addition te the 15 powers which became original signatories at Paris last meath. - MOTORMAN FREED Prosecutor Decides Maseika, Whese Trolley struck Dog, Was Not Guilty of Cruelty to Animals. in police court today entered a nolle in the casc of Matthew Magzeika, motorman in charge @f a Connecti- cut Co. trolley car which struck a dog on Stanley street last Friday. The charge was cruelty to animais. but Mr. Woods said he had learned that Mazeika stopped the car after the accident and as he examined him, the animal snapped at him. As the animal did not appear to be in- jured, Mazeika lett it on the sid walk and continued on his way, M Woods said, and subsequently it w determined that there were no in- juries. After ah investigation by Sergeant Stadler, It appeared that the motorman was not guilty of cruelty, Mr. Woods said. Mazeika's arrest came about as the result of a complaint to the po- lice by Lloyd Talbot of Windser. that Mazeika had picked the dog up and hurled it over the stone wall at St. Mary's cemetery. Other wit- Mazeika had ample time to avolec striking the dog.
