Serv- jee, Ine. Monsieur Jonquelle, the Prefect of Police of Paris, was a moment late. An angry voice reached him the turn of the path. It was a tense low, mnacing voice. The words were not clear, but the intent in the voice was unmistakable. For a mere frac- tion of time he remained montionless as in some indecision; then he went | forward swiftly. It was evening. The soft colors of @ sort of twilight day were on the Mediterranean. The many-colored) city of Nice was lying below the| Mountain of olive trees and the tropical gardens of the Villa of Cimiez. The whole scene was from @ country of the fairy; the romantic frontier of some kingdom of wonder legend. ‘There were two persons on the long terrace of the villa when Monsteur | Jonquelle approached. The villa was small and exquisite-—-a sort of jewel- box hidden in a garden of tropical) Juxuriance, inclosed by a high wail surmounted by a tile border. ‘The villa was rose-color. The tiles the terrace and the border of the high wall were also rose-color. It} was a dainty and sensuous bit of the | world, as tho raised by some en- chantment out of the baked earth of Arabla. Monsieur Jonquelle interrupted a tragic moment. A woman sat in a chair midway of this terrace. It was one of those beautiful invalid-chairs made for the out-of-doors by that It n genius which secks always to add beauty to the decorative aspect of a garden The chair was white. The gown of the woman in it was blue, it looked black in the soft evening light and against the rose-colored villa and the white chair, The woman did not move, Her small, shapely head, as from fatigue, rested against the high back of the chair. It was crowned with a great welght of hair, as yellow and as heavy as gold, built up into a won- Gerful coiffure that resembled in its vague outlines the helmet of Miner- va. Her hands and her elbows lay on the arms of the chair. Beside her, a step beyond, the man who had arrived « moment before Monsteur Jonquelle stood in an atti- tude of menace. The visible person- ity of the man was puzzling.

Those Stories About Our Visitor Georges Are All True, or, at Least, Should Be BY LOWELL MELLETT WASHINGTON, Nov. 2%.—Georges Clemenceau 1s @ real character. Everything you've read about him is true—or very well could be. Take that jug story they tell of Clemenceau. While premier of France, he used to get up early in the morning. He didn’t like to stir his ancient woman servant out of bed at the hour he considered suit- able for himself, #0 he hit upon this scheme for his breakfast, He had her prepare him a jug of hot soup before he went to bed, then he used this hot jug the way some of us used to use a hot brick on cold nights, the way many good ladies use hot water bottles now—to keep his feet warm. Next morning he rescued the jug from under the blankets and there was his soup for his breakfast. ee The first time IT ever aw the ‘Tiger | was on a drizzly morning in the middle of a barn lot near La Ferte- sur-Juare, not far from the river Marne, This barn lot, with the stable and cow sheds surrounding tt, formed the headquarters of the Sec- ond division, Clemenceau had ar- rived to congratulate the doughboys and their officers on having stopped the German push toward Paris. Kiverybody was keen to get a look at the famous fighting French states- man, What they saw was a be- draggled, shapeless overcoat, a bat~ tered soft hat, ewith the brim pulled down all around, a pair of bushy white eyebrows, 4 protruding white walrus mustache and a pair of very bright eyes, boring out of a pink, wrinkled countenance. He might have been the peasant owner of the farm, come over to see that the doughboys were not mussing up the proud manure pile which dominated the scenery of the barn lot. Another time I saw him was in the anteroom of the foreign office on the Qua! d'Orsay, at the end of the first plenary session of the peace confer- ence, Present were Woodrow Wil- son, Arthur Balfour, Clemenceau, and a few minor characters, Balfour was being helped by an poh to his hat, a nice, new and very shiny topper. “Nice hat you got, Balfour,” said Clemenceau. Balfour blushed and replied: “Yes, my secretary thought I ought to wear a new hat today, “So did mine,” replied Clemenceau, pe over his ears the same bat- tered old felt Kelly that he had worn that day on the Marne—or one equally battered and old, i | GRAND JURY TO HEAR MAYOR!
