Queer Requirements Made In France
That Official Records May Be
Completed.

In France, as In some other coun-
tries, every citizen has an official his
tory. Not as varied and interesting
as his real history, but still Import
ant. From this there follow at times
quaint consequences. If woman is
married, for example, wife she re-
mains officially though the husband
may be missing.
Consider the case Of the painter
who went fishing on Anthie bay. He
has not since been seen. The body OF
one man who went with him was
washed ashore lifeless. You would
call this tolerably convincing proof
that his wife had been made widow.
She thought so and in due time she
sought to have 1t recorded in her Of
fetal history that she was widow.
We are familiar with applications to
court of justice for leave 20 pre-
sumo the death of persons who have
vanished But the French Judge was
not to be so easily persuaded as our
courts. The wife was in her official
history wife and there was no certih-
cate to justify her appellation being
changed to widow. Without a certif-
Gao or reasonable documentary evil
dence no man obviously ought to die.
There was way round. The be-
reaved woman applied for divorce on
the ground of desertion. Since death
is beyond dispute the most complete
kind of desertion, the court of Mon
treuil decided that she could not be
denied. So the widow is recognized as
an Independent woman and apparently
both the law and she are satisfied. Blu
you will observe that the official his
tory mus. now record the wife of 6
dead man as a divorcee, which does
not seem very creditable to officia
history.

He was so stunned and bitterly an

so changed in it's color and glow and

in sheer wonder.

sured. Don't worry"
Stanton laughed with him, fastening
on the mask. and sent the Mercury
rolling forward. The world was right
once more, and life sane.
1t was an exquisite morning; wind
less, cool, with happy little effects OF
snowy cloud against a cobalt-blue
sky. The October air was summer
distilled cordial. an ethereal intoxi-
cant. The racers had no time to no.
tice 1t, yet the effect was there. The
speed made on the first laps was rec
ord-breaking.
The brown or gray streak Of road
ahead, the deadly turns. the treacher-
GUS smooth hill down which 1t was so
easy to make speed and still more
easy to meet disaster-for the first
hour Stanton had no attention to spare
from these. Moreover, the spectators
were massed over the course in many
places, recoiling just enough to leave
a lane for each cars passage, and so
imposing another anxiety upon the
drivers who knew the swerve of foot
must bring death to some one.
Gar behind" Floyd's clear accents
gave the familiar cautions from time
to time. He's tryin' to get us before
the turn. The Atalanta's head in the

The pace maintained was the fastest
at which the Mercury could be held to
the road. 1t was Stanton's way to gain
the lead first, when possible. then
keep a steady average regardless Of
his rivals spurts of speed; unless the
race were too short to permit such
tactics or the contest too close. Now,
at the end of the second hour Floyd
made the desired announcement, as
they shot past the grand-stand and the
bulletin boards.
Were leadin. The tires have been
holdin' fine-look out for them this

Stanton moved his head Affirmative
ly, his narrowed eyes answering from
the line of course ahead. Needing the
advice, he did take the turns more
carefully.
