More Liberal Divorce Laws VIII

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
In the Washington Post OF yester-
day under the title "Tampering with
Divorce Law" there appears an edit
orial which for absurd nonsense ex-
cells anything the writer has yet
found on the editorial page Of a modern
newspaper.
The article is intended to attack the
recommendation made by the District
Bar Association with reference to
changes in the existing divorce law for
the District of Columbia and insinuates
that the legal fraternity arc urging the
reform for their own private hnancial
gain.

quaintance with The personnel OF the
local bar and especially of the men VINO

and civil'ze the existing barbarous
divorce laws, would establish beyond
doubt in the mind of any right-think-
ing individual, and Furthermore 1t is
known fact among the legal frater-
nifty, that the more difficult the process
of securing divorces the larger the fee
which the LAWYER may demand.
The writer in the Post complains that

but you wern't sure, and the plan was
to wait till he'd handed his share over
to the president and then to pull him
in.
This gentleman here, who called
himself Barrett, is an old admirer of

Walt Barrett's place. Walt got away
two nights ago over the roofs while
you were watching this gentleman be-
hind this broken shade and fiattering
yourselves that you still had Walt
Barrett under surveillance.
"You we're pretty sure you had him
watched, but you weren't quite sure,
and Walt was still being watched for
on the off chance that he had got
away. It was necessary to convince
you that this was Barrett, so that you
should call off the search long enough
to enable my husband to get into Can
ada. He's there now, for got a mes
sage over the phone ten minutes ago,
and you're not likely to lay hands on
him.

some money on my furs to help my
husband make his getaway in good

other gentleman following me and,
like fool, took him for a bull. |
thought 1t would be good chance to
bring him up here and have my
friend arrested, so that you could be
dead sure you had Barrett in your
hands. l dropped that phony tiara to
bring him in-I had to take chances
he wouldn't pinch 1t and bolt-and the
trick succeeded. But l guess we
rather overplayed our part, for, in
stead of arresting this gentleman, he
tried to pretend that he was Barrett
as well. Three Barretts was more

"And where did you get this?' add

tiara in front of Jocelyn's face.
LET me speak," said Barrett. "Ill
tell the truth. ! don't know who this
fellow is from Adam. but I'm the man
you want. I've been hiding here for
the past week and I'm mighty glad
you've got me at last, for it's better to

"Aw, tell that to the Judge! guess
you're Walt Barrett, right enough.
But who's your pal? That's what we
want to know And where did you
get these shiners?" he continued,
again flashing the diamonds in Joce-
lyn's face.
"I found that tiara in the street."
answered Lord Jocelyn nonchalantly.
"And since this gentleman has con-
fessed that he is the man you want
perhaps you will allow me to with

The sight Of distress, especially
when the distressed one was Of the
fairer sex. always aroused intense
pity in Lord Jooelyn's breast. and the
girl was both distressed and fair. In
stead Of going. as he had been or
dered, he stepped forward toward
her.

sively. Il believe that your brothers

continued Jocelyn earnestly, that he
will mend his life. and that he will
build up his character again, taking
warning by the remembrance of his
past"
The young lady stepped up to Joce-

hands.

she answered earnestly. "But can

what he has done. After all It is not
right that he should evade the justice

Yes, let me pay the penalty" re-
echoed Barrett in llstless apathy.
Lord Jocelyn looked from the one
to the other In bewilderment. "But
just now you were moving heaven and
earth to effect his escape" he cried.
The young woman wrung her hands
in desperation. "Oh, will you goT

tencies. Go. before 1t is too late!"
Lord Jocelyn turned toward the
door. There seemed to be no alterna-
tive but to comply. He could not
force this sacrifice on them in despite
of that determination. But even as he
laid his fingers on the handle Of the
door he heard the heavy tread of foot
steps ascending the stairway. They
reached the top stair and halted, and
Others succeeded them. Then all
could hear voices Of men, pitched In
low tones, without.
The girl hesitated for an instant;
then, without word, she darted to-
ward the door that led into the in
terror room. She flung 1t wide and
few through, beyond another door,
and into passage terminating in a
stairway. Following, hastily, Jocelyn
heard the girl hurrying down, and
caught sight Of her, three flights be-
low, hurrying in hot haste toward the
back egress. Some impulse that he
made no effort to analyze turned his
footsteps back into the room which he
had vacated. Barrett stood there
alone in gloomy meditation. Jocelyn
went up to him and held out his
hand.
'T do not know what part have un-

said. But repeat my former offer
to you. Follow your sister. Though
the house is watched, l will voluntar-

"and you can thus go free. And, once

seized Lord Jocelyn by the arm.

Don't grum BILE at the cold snap.
In this simi-ttopica1 region real
cold snap that is seasonable is
more of a blessing than a disas-
ter. An unusually cold winter
down here in Gods country isin-
varfably followed by good crop
and fruit season. The cold snap
inflicts temporary inconvenience
in a region where we are but
poorly prepared for extremely
cold weather, but it has it's COM

mellow the ground, but a hard
