Sinn Fein officials previously had declared informally that such ac tion would be taken in connection with all British cabinet members re sponsible for MacSwiney’s impris- onment, and that any YTesultant sen- tences of death would be carried out by Sinn Fein agents. The altest reports from Brixton Prison said the lord mayor was Steadily growing weaker and the partial paralysis of his arms and legs was extending. He was still conscious.

She put up a lore nette, Mra, Widdup hastily stooped and arranged the bandages on Mr. Coulson’s gouty foot, “I thought Higgins was with you, said Miss Van Meeker Constantia. “Higgins went out,” explained her jfather, “and Mra. Widdup answered the bell. That is better now, Mra. Widdup, thank you. No; there is nothing else I require.” The housekeeper retired, pink un- der the cool, inquiring stare of Miss Coulson, “This spring weather ts lovely, isn't it, daughter?” said the old man, consciously conscious, “That's just it,” replied Miss Van | Meeker Constantia Coulson, some- what obscurely, “When does Mrs. Widdup start on her vacation, papa?" “I believe she said a week from to- day,” said Mr. Coulson, Miss Van Meeker Constantia stood for a minute at the window gazing toward the little park, flooded with the mellow afternoon sunlight. With the eye of a botanist she viewed the Nowers—most potent weapons of in. sidious May, With the cool pulses of a virgin of Cologne she withstood the attack of the thereal mildness, The arrows of the pleasant sunshine fell back, frost-bitten, from the cold panoply of her The odor of the Mowers waked no soft sentiments in the unexplored re. cesses of her dormant heart. The chirp of the sparrows gave her a pain. She mocked at May. But although Miss Coulson was Proof against the season, she was keen enough to estimate tte power, She knew that elderly men and thick-waisted women jumped as edu- cated fleas in the ridiculous train of May, the merry mocker of the months. She had heard of foolish old gentlemen marrying their houne- keepers before, What a humiliating thing, after al, was this feeling called love! The next morning at 8 o'clock, when the iceman called, the cook told him that Miss Coulson wanted to see him in the basement. “Well, ain't I the Olgott and De unthrilled bosom. | Jat all? sald the tceman, admiringly, | of himself.

About noon Mr. Coulson knocked two glasses off his table, broke the spring of his bell, and yelled for Higgins at the same time. “Tring an axe,” commanded Mr. Coulson, sardonically, “or send out | for a quart of prusstc acid, or have a policeman come in and shoot me, I'd rather that than be frozen to death.” “It does seem to be getting coal, sir," said Higgins, “I hadn't noticed it before. I'll close the window, sir.” “De,” said Mr. Coulson, “They | call this spring, do they? If It keeps House feels like a morgue.” Later Miss Coulson dutifully came in to inquire how the gout was pro- | greasing. “'Stantia,” sald the old man, “how is the weather outdoors?” “Bright,” answered Miss Coulson, “put chilly.” “Feels like the dead of winter to me,” raid Mr, Coulson. An instance,” said Constantia, gazing abstractedly out the window “of ‘winter lingering in the lap of spring,’ though the metaphor is not in the mont refined taste. A little later she walked down by the side of the little park and on westward to Broadway to accomplish a Ittle shopping. A little later than that Mra. Wid- dup entered the tnvalid’s reom. “Did you ring, sir?" she asked, dimpling in many places. “I asked Higgins to go to the drug store, and I thought I heard your bell.” “I did not,” sald Mr. Coulson. “I'm afraid.” said Mra Widdup. "I interrupted you, y |when you were about to say son thing.” “How comes ft, Mrs, Widdup,” said old may Coulson sternly, “that I find it so cold in this house™ “Cold, sir?’ said the housekeeper, “why, now, since you speak of it it doen seem cold In this room.
