Norwich, Jan. 5, 1922. READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Square Hands. Again scientific fact squares up with popular phraseology, for the ‘squar hand denotes virtually what we call the “square” type of personality. The square hand, as the characterolo- ist defines it, is firm, medium-sized, and squarely shaped. The fingernails, whiie not stubby, are not long, and are rather square in shape. The thumb is firm and large. The owners of such hands are ‘“regu- lar” people of the practical, industrious type, and youw'll find that they are capa~ ble of considerable tenacity and persist- ence in earrying to a-successful eonclu- sion the things they undertake. ©f it all that has furnished the basis for | erly colored even though the insistence e clatms, mt whether the governmenis|en-their pevsonal liberty meant death. are inclined to be punctual and precise, but no toverly so, in their habits, and They | reason they put them at the crossings. They see so many persons cross that they feel happier there.’ “Don’t be silly, laugher Loretta. “Anyhow, I had trouble yesterday. I was coming along Sheridan road all by myself after taking Mrs. Dunbar home from the tea and I spied a mo- torcycle man right behind me. I speed- ed up-and dashed around a corner. ‘When I glanced back I saw he was and tore around two more| corners. When I saw he was still after me I speeded some more, and it wasn't long before I was way out in the country west of town. I' put on more speed than I have ever dared to before, and I fairly tore through the country, with that awful man right behind me. My only idea was to get away from him, and I kept it up for miles, untfl T heard that terrible noise that warns me that I'm running low on gas. The man was not in'sight so I slowed down and stopped at the side of the road to get my breath.

I even stopped for gasoline and got home without being captured.” “Good stunt.” “Not so very,” acknowledged Loret- “I hadn’t been home an hour before that horrid man rang the bell and said hed have to fine me for speeding. He said he had not given me a glance until I began to run away, as I seem- ed to be driving well and he wanted to know why I took to my heels so. “I told him that I had no certifi- cate or whatever vou call them, and was afraid to take the tests they'd insist on before I could get one, I wish vou'd seen that man laugh! He prom- ised and he kept his word, that it shouldn’'t have to take any tests at all, as he'd testify to my ability. He said any woman who could ahead of Jim Dooley in that style was a mighty fine driver and no mistake about ii."— Exchange. “You'd cheer find little sympathy for others who are shiftiess and careless in their considera- tion for others. The square hand also marks a predis- position for the enjoyment of domestic life, reasonable, practical ambition, with abilities generally leaning toward me- chanical and commercial problems. Tomorrow—Short Heads. AN EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTOR. In the year 1850 a bill of complaint was_ prepared before the criminal judge of Rieux, in France, by a woman of the name of Bertrand de Rois,/whose case of grievance was of a most extraordi- nary nature. She said that at an early age she had been married to one Martin Guerre, who had lived with her about 10 vears, and then disappeared. At the end of eight years afterward a man came who had so exactly the features, stature and complexion of Martin Guerre that she had taken him for her true husband and had tinsuspectingly lived with him as such for the space of three years, dur- ing which she had two chiidren by him; that to her surprise she now found out that the man was not the real Martin iuerre. but one Arnaud du Tilh ‘of Sa- glas, commonly ()lled Pansette, who had artfully taken the advantage of his resemblance to her husband .to impose himself upon her, and besides usurping the conjugal rights of Martin Guerre had obtained possession of all the property that belonged to him. Famous Trials In answer to this strange story the man said to be Arnaud du Tilh protest- ed that the prosecution was nothing émore. than a wicked conspiracy which his wife him; that if he was not the real*Martin Guerre he did not know who he was; that he had had this name so far back as he could remember; that it was he who had married, when a youth, the com- plainant, Bertrand de Rois, and had lived With her so many years that she had not only received him upon his return with all the warmth of a loving and affection- ate wife, but among others four sisters had instantly and gladly recognized him as their own long lost Martin Guerre. The judge made both parties undergo & severe personal .examination, first gep- arafely, and then in the presence of each other, and the answers of the man were on every point, even of the most minute and private description, such as, in all human belief. none but the real Martin Guerre could have given. Witnesses were then examined to the number of nearly 15. Of these, between 30 and 40, including the four sisters, swore that he was the true Martin Guerre ; that they had known him and| conversed with him from his infancy; that they were perfectly acquainted with his person, manners and tone of voice, and that they wers, moreover, con- vinced of the truth of what they asserted Dy certain scars and secret marks, whic it was imposstble for time to efface. A great many, on the comtrar quite as postively that he was no other than Arnaud du Tilh, called Pansette, and they_had known him as long and 4nd had been ag familiarly acquainted with him as those who pretended that he was Mar- tin Guerre. The rest of the witnesses declared that there were so many strong resemblances between the two persons in questicm that it was impossible for them to determine whether the accused was Martin Guerre or Arnand du Tilh. The judge, on welghing the whole case, inclined to the bellef that the man was not the real Martin Guerre, but Arnand du Hilh, and eondemned him as a wretched impostor to suffer the punishment of: death, From this sentence the aceused appeal- ed to the Parllament of Toulouse, which ordered an inguisition be taken as to the While walting for-the rain to stop, the | Humber and about ten mil the gea.

But so far was this crai- nance for eliclting any new lights that it served only to render the affair still more obscure than It was before. Of 30 new witnesses examined, nine or teri were posi tive that he was the true Martin Guerre; seven or eight were positive that he was arnaud du Tilh; the rest having weizhed 2ll circumstances and being afraid of in- juring thelr consclences, declared plainly that they were not able to say who he wa Among the witnesses who negatived most positively his fdentity with Martin Guerre was a shoemaker who used, to malke shoes for Martin.
