O'Rourke's first fears we're for the
woman, his first words a lie designed
to reassure her.

gasped family, her face as white as

to return to your stateroom and quiet

of this trouble7 | promise to advise
ye instantly, whether there's danger
or not"
You're very thoughtful" she re-
turned. I'm sure you're right. Thank
you"
He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her at the door, remarking its
number and renewing his pledge to
return in ten minutes-more speedily

a long face.
Mrs. Prynne answered instantly his
double-knocked summons and, STEP
ping out quickly, closed the door tight
In the fraction of a second that 1t was

wide awake and vigilant. The girl was
French and sullenly handsome after
her kind. O'Rourke got an impression
Of a resolute chin and resolute eyes
under level brows; and he did not in
the least doubt that she was quite pre-
pared to make good and effectual use
Of the revolver which she held pointed
directly at the opening.
Why?

puzzle over the mystery.
"Well?" she demanded breathlessly.

take us far as Alden, but there we'll

Mrs. Prynne's face clouded with dis

demanded
"Mayhap." he replied. no less dis
consulate; "mayhap as much as a
week. Faith, tbs meself that would it

She regarded him thoughtfully for
an instant.

Indeed do so, madam. Me for

bordering her dilemma. What will

She flashed him an ironic look.

Sw'otcr than the music OF n mil
lion choirs-rrnndar than the song
OF angels, was the laughter of little
|children, the hysteria of happiness
manifested By hundreds of little tots
who last night bchcld with dancing
eyes the beautiful Christmas tree at
h1addcn's academy. Clapping their
hands with the wild eXuberance of
childish glcc. the children blessed
the Lady Bountiful" Mrs. NJ r.,
Madden. and gathered around the
dear old Santa Claus who gavot hem
candy and nuts and little gifts that
pleased the youngsters nightly.
There was such "a disscm nation OF
the Christmas spirit us Dickens wrote
OF in the "Christmas Carol" With
the proceeds of her charity ball last
week. Mrs. Madden brought joy to
'cvery little heart. laughter to every

children wcndcd their way home and
with heads pressing pillow. driftcd
into Sunderland with precious dolls
and toys clutchcd to little breasts.
God in his infinite mercy smiled
upon that scene last night. There
where the eager children scrambled
for II glimpse of Santa, where the
myriad lights CLEANED and winked.

the free gift of love that is echoed in
every song that rises to heaven with

Great interested has been demon

last September. The defendants are
George c. Bayless, Fred N. Hamlin
and Michael c. Bailey, respectively,

Under the warrants issued last year

Bayless and Hamin obtained a change

Never has Worcester county, Md,
been more stirred than it is over the
action OF gang of thugs, who, claim.
ing official protection, dragged Mary
Holman, an unprotected woman from
her home in Ocean City, Md, showered
blows and kicks upon her face and
limbs and concluded their perform
ance by dipping her into vat of tar
in the presence of her ll-year-old son.
who struggled to prevent the outrage.
Terrorized by her experience. the
woman has quit the town. She is
now being sheltered by tom" Jones,
a negro, who lives out in the country
three miles.
One Of the most startling features
OF the incident is the fact that the
towns lights were out when the as
sault was committed. Mrs. Holman
saws the switch was turned through
the connivance of town officials.
However this may be, the men
guilty of the outrage boasted while
they We're subjecting her to the in.
dignities that their act had the sane.
tion of the town council. Since then
the boast has been repeated by them.
Although the officials of Worcester
county seem to have given evidence
that they would be perfectly willing
to have the whole incident blow over
without taking action, they have at
last realized that this cannot be done.
Sheriff Hanson, acting under in.
structons of State Attorney Johnson,
visited Mrs. Holman at the Jones
home where it was arranged that she
should be taken under protection to
Snow Hill, the county seat. She de-
mands an investigation saying she is
the victim of defamatory gossip as
we'll as a most brutal assault.
Mrs. Holman says the men who
assaulted her were fishermen. She
was known in the community as Red
Light" and resentment was aroused
against her because OF the charge
that was made that she harbored col
ored men. She declares there is abb
solutely no truth in the reports and
maintains that the offensive epithet
applied to her is entirely unjustifled
