esteem by their ncighbors. The lodger
was lame. and had led rather an irreeu-
lar life.
Reconstructed Theory
After a long investigation on the spot,
assisted by doctors. lawyers and detcc-
lives. the examining magistrate has "re-
constructed the murder of the family in
the following manner. The lodger, named
Louis. q cripple 20 years of age, taking
advantage Of tho absence Of the baker.

ousy defended herself The man then
killed her with an AK. and as the daugh-
ter was crying and he feared discovery.
he killed her also. He next hid the body
that OF the child In a cupboard. When
he had finished these operations the
husband rang the bell and the door was
opened by the assassin. Unaware of the
crime, the husband walked in, and the
cripple, coming behind him, struck him
on the head with the AK, causing his
death. Afterward Louis hacked the
corpse In the neck ana cncsS, and hid II
among the Goals and wood in the
kitchen. 'E
For a week lie must have made efforts
to get rid of the bodies, which were dis
membered, but. owing to the suspicion
of the neighbors he was unable to leave
the house with the bundles that he had
possible. as he would be easily recognized
on account Of his inflrmity. he decided
to commit suicide by opening veins In his
arms and legs. Death, however, seemed
to come slowly so he struck himself In
the throat and head with the AK.

scene presented itself to those who en-
tered. The three persons comprising the
family had been killed, their heads hay-
ing been cut of and their bodies mutt
lated The lodger also was dead.
According to the opinion OF doctors who
examined the corpses. the first three had
died about fortnight ago and the lodeer
about a week later Tho murders had
taken place, according to the theory OF
the doctors after a terrible struggle, as
the bodies were all terribly bruised. How

Story of a Bell,

Few persons suspect that in the cathe
dral church OF Notre Dame Is a bell con-
temporaneous with Joan OF Arc-"the
blessed bell' which sounded the tocsn
when the maid of Lorraine appeared In
August, 1929, and Paris was besieged by
the English This historic bell. referred
to by Victor Hugo in his "Notre Dame
de Paris" was given to the cathedral in
1900 by Jean de Montaign 1t was re-
founded In 1886, and then rebaptIzed un-
der the name OF Emmanuel Louise The
rese. in honor OF Louis XIV and Marie
Therese OF Austria,
So II this bell is not the same bell
which the heroine OF Domremy heard.
nevertheless the same metal vibrates to-
day at the great religious ceremonies OF
the metropolitan church. In view OF
later events IL seems rather more than a
coincidence that when all the other bells
of Notre Dame were destroyed by the
revolutionIsts, Joan's bell should have
been spared London Globe.

Breaking Away From Work

Our business men ought to break
away from trade exactions long before
they do-ought to do so as matter Of
volition and ethical Judgment, rather
than of physical necessity. They ought
to get and give more enjoyment IN life;
for others; they ought to live more III
books and more In the open and less
at their desks, and realize better health
and longer lives as a result. More and
more culture in all its forms IS eXer-
cising growing influence, which must
manifest itself in lessened effort along
the lines of money getting, and the de-
votion of more time on the part of our
business men 10 the pursuits which nat
urally accompany fortified leisure.

gain leisure and Aristotle was wise
