FRANCES GUILLOTINE AND
- THE -fsFIskGksxIszE IszEXHs<sA}TIkaAlEE

PARIS, May 21.-Past midnight.
Startled, sat up in bed, wondering
what the noise could have been. Again
it came. 1t was the telephone, but
sounding, it seemed, frightfully loud.
Nervously I stumbled through the
swered the ring. A small voice, ex-
cited and uncanny, replied, "The exc
cution will be at sunrise. The prefect
has played trick to hoodwink the
crowd" l dressed hurriedly and went
out.
Dawn in the Boulevard Arago. At
our backs the walls of the Sante pris-
on. A cold, clammy drizzle added to
the unpleasantness of the occasion.
From the distance came the murmur
of mob-not fooled after all. About
us soldiers. In the center the guillo-
tine, active. The heads of the three
"auto bandits" were falling. By the
side of the bloody machine, cool, sin
ister stood the executioner. Heed
less of the rain he had been busy all
night setting up his knife, adjusting
it, oiling it. "Monsier de Paris" he is
called officially. Through the haze of
the drizzle, great shaggy black
beard hanging half way to his waist,
he looked like a creature from an
other world, new kind of Bluebeard
disporting himself by cutting off peo-
peoples heads.
The triangular blade had fallen once
with its indescribable swish and
crunch-you've heard the butchers ak
cutting through a hock-and young
Soudy's head had dropped into the
willow basket. 1t was now Callemin's
turn, but Monier appeared through the
doorway of the tumbrill. "Hold on
there" came voice from inside,
she's minew 1t was Callemin speak
ing, Callemin, the "boy bandit" and by
"she" he meant the guillotine. He
would not be done out of his turn
Pulling Monier back he stepped out
naked to the waist. He paused, looked
on the crowd with an expression OF
utter contempt, and with voice full
Of bitter sarcasm exclaimed, "How
beautiful it must be to witness the
agony of man." The crowd WINGED as
the rebuke was shot into it.
"Monsier de Paris" worked on like
a machine, emotionless as stone. His
aides threw Callemin upon the bal
ance. 1t tipped and the boys head
fell just a fraction of an inch short
of the notch. 1t was pulled into place
by the hair.
Crunch! With soft thud the head
of Callemin, the curl of disdain still
on the lips fell into the basket anc
rolled slowly against that other thing
in the basket. Next" Calm ant
modulated. the voice Of "Monsier dc
Paris" was asking for more food foi

There were three ghastly heads in tn,

three had taken less than three min

| ice leseO Correspondence TO the New
York SUM.
The Gepeseo, Groveland and
Danville orchardists and nursery
men, who for the last two years
have tried in vain to lift, in Liv-
ingston county at least, the ban
on the use of ferrets for securing
rabbits, have at last obtained
some recognition of their grew
ances IN regard to the thosa nds
| of dollars worth of stock that
has been destroyed in the last
two years in a IS mile radius by
the "cottontails."
Members of the State Con-
servation Commission have
agreed to come to Livingston
county this week and examine
into the tree growers walls and
plants and if the evidence is fair
ly conclusive make the use Of
ferrets lawful in this county,
that they have full power to do
so is shown by section 1876 of the
1913 New York State corserva-
ton law, part of which reads
"The use of ferrets is at all
times prohibited except that the
commission may by resolution
permit ferrets to be used in par
ticular counties"
The commission will doubtless
take several days to make it's
final determination, but it is an
ticipated that by the time the
rabbit season opens the ban on
the use of ferrets in this county
will have been removed. Winter
before last the weather was so
severe that hardly a single un-
protected nursery or fruit tree in
several of the biggest orchards
at the south end of the county
escaped being barked and the
cottoutails dug their way into
storage plants and caused in some
single instances several hundred
dollars damage from the contents
freezing before the vents to the
outside air were discovered and
stopped.
