Randall. The schoolmarm is being sued for divorce by William H, Randall jr., who is a schoolmaster, Mra. Randall faced her former pupil, as he told how flashes of lightning revealed to him the forms of his brother and Mrs. Randall on the shingle roof, locked in each other's arms, In this position they remaiued, the youthful witness said. in «nite of rain that was falling in torrents. Justice Whitaker was a little in doubt as to just what positi roof Gwellers were in, so he ordered little Harold to give the court a dem- onstration. Tho witness chair was moved and Harold, with his flat hand, Indicated just how the root sini and then he stretched out at full! length on the carpeted floor at the feet of Justice Whitaker. “It was just like this,” sald the lad as he looked up and held out his right arm as if to embrace some one. “Oh, I need somebody to put my arm around like they did,” the boy con- tinued, sitting up and looking at his former school teacher, whose eyes were fixed on every movement made in the tabi “I guess you're right about th: eaid the Justice. “I'll have Major Healy take the part of Mrs. Randall.” ‘The smiling uniform court attendant Planted himself on the floor beside Harold. “When Floyd put his arm around Mrs, Randall like this," sald the boy | witness, encircling the Major's waist. |The Major laughed aloud. ‘Then,’ continued the boy, “he squeezed her just Ike this.” “Now, tell us just how you hap- péned to see all this,” said the Justice “1 was in my bed about 9 at night,” said Harold, “and 1 closed my eyes} and played L was asleep. Floyd came up to me to see if 1 was asleep and he thought L was. Then he went out ot the room and next I heard some one upstairs climbing out on to the piazza roof, 1 got/up and looked out and 1 could see Floyd helping Mrs. Randall out of the window of her room. Then they stole over to a cor- ner of the roof and sat down. I called wy brother Eggie and we both watched.” ' “Do you ever dream?” asked the Judge, ‘The boy shook his nella. “1 never dreamed tt, Judge.” “But there wasn't any light by which you could sce them on the roof, was there?” “No, Judge, but it was raining heavily that night and every once in a while the lightning flashed and I ‘and ‘Eggle’ could seo them just as plain as day.” Mrs. Randall faced another one of her former school children, when little Fgar Castle, aged eight, took the stand. He repeated what his brother had related, until he was asked if Mrs. Randall had said anything to him about not telling any one what he vaw on the rainy night. “When Pa and Ma away once,” said Eggie, “Mrs. Randall came to me and sald if I didn’t say nothing to nobody, Jally other scholars, about "Pio t her an yd, some day would ke me fo! ‘fastice Whitaker refused to award the husband jivorce, holding the evidence insufficient. automobile rid Masbrowck H HACKENSACK, Dec. wioneer clubhouse at Hasbrouck Heights ‘was destroyed by fire last night.

PARIS, Dec. 16.—A year more full of good than of disaster and marked by the end of the war, is Mme. do ‘Thebes’s prediction for 1915. Following are the events which Paris’ famous seeress, who claims to have foretold the Caillauz trial, thi assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the European war, predicts will mark 1916: BY\MADAME DE THEBES. Before the sun runs {ts third course in 1915 blood will cease to flow. The results of the war will be titanic. ‘The result will be entirely different from what France expects, though for the others the equivalent will be realized. Summer and autumn will be such as the history of Paris has never known, About this time a scourge menaces us, but prudence will prob- ably win, Paris setting the example in the struggle. Paris will lead a crusade to extend the race. Women will be less friv- olous and will pay more attention to their homes. A singular fate awaits a man orig- inally ‘from Central France.

I see one Germany tearing Itself to pleces—North against North, South against South. There will be revolutionary fury against the junker military aristocracy. Ger- many will try to resist, in ‘parody of France of bygone days, even unto her revolution—hostages, massacres, judgments and scaffolds—all. 1 see another Germany which pretends to yield, accepting the conditions of the victors and gaining time by multt- plying intrigues and paralyzing tho attacks against her, only to restart | her own attacks with new forces, In elther event, the Hohenzollerns are gone. I have seen the hand of Wilhelm the Second. I won't say how or when, I saw his right hand only. This is the hand of volition. His left hand is that of a fatalist—wjth- ered and smaller than the other, on an arm shorter than his right. This weakness Wilhelm has sought to con- ceal all his life. His right hand is dry if one feels it tong. The phalanx, alas, is large, indicating sangu!nary tastes. The little finger is imagina- tive.

It was learned that every new ele- ment in the case now remaining un solved after twenty-two days was carefully gone over by His Honor and that he was told of the immine:t pos- sibility of a swift development !n the case coming to-day, The twenty-one prisoners were eact questioned by Capt.

Under numbing conditions of cold in the upper air, Aviator F. A. ‘Thompson “looped the loop” in three successive whirls over the Moule fleld at Oakwood Heights, Staten Isl- and, to-day. His feat was applauded by @ small group of ofMfcers of the U. 8. Army Aviation Corps, standing shivering on the ice-coated field be- low him. ‘Thompson went up in @ monoplane about § o'clock in the morning, and in breathless cold, with the thermom- eter only a few degrees above the sera mark. Capt. Charles Barber, Capt. J. H. Green and Lieut, Kenny of the First Aviation Corps, who were witnesses of his Might, feared for the safety of the daring aviator becaus of the numbing effect of the cold, knowing, as they did, that at a few hundred feet above the ground Thompson would encounter frigidity much below the zero mark. In wide cireles Thompson's machine climbed until it had reached 6,000 feet and /was & mere speck in the sky. The black dot in the blue was seen to balance for an instant, then tilt its nose down. At an angle almost per- pendicular to the earth the winged machine began its rush.
