Many American newspaper para graphters show a cynical flavor that proves them true disciples of LaRoch- efoucauld. Observe these from the Florida Times Unions philosopher '' When your wife gives you cold stare you may look out for hot tine;' A cigaret is a small tube with a little fire at one end and a big con ceit at the other" Sometimes a wo- man wants a divorce on the grounds of mpatibility-that is, her hus- bands income isn't compatible with her ideas of comfort" Of course, it is no doubt easier to make an epigram synicaI than the reverse, but somehow one prefers Punchs more genial brand of humor

 N&HE newcomer passed so close

 "On her way; there was no trouble. Sallie had her doped, sir

We got the fellow after you left, Broussard; hit him bit too hard, it seems, but no one will ever investigate, so it's just as we'll Adventurer named Craig, just discharged from the army Where is he?''

strange man shot in the upper room The place was charneI house, a spot accursed- I crept back from that ghastIy scene of death as though in visible hands gripped my throat. I fairly choked with the unutterabIe horror which overcame me And yet I knew I must act, must go on to the end. Even as I crouched there, trem- bling and unnamed, seeing visions in the darkness, hearing imaginary sounds, my thoughts Ieaped back to the girl upstairs I could feel the courage returning, the leap of hot blood through my veins as strs1ghtened up-
 risked one more nSatch to make certain of the opening through the wall, din1ly ghmpsed beyond the berths- My eyes were not deceived. Here was a second wood supported passage, unlocked so far could per ceive, but black as pitch. I held the flaming splinter aloft, anxfousIy scan ming the few feet thus revealed, but al it sputtered out, the red ash drop ping to the floor, I felt renewed conf dence that Twas alone, unobserved. Whoever those assassins might be. ehey had departed, leaving only the Helpless dead behind. No doubt they would come again to remove the RedIes, to seek refuge in this hidden R.oIe. But for the moment I was there undiscovered and must utilize each nrecfous instant for discoveries and escape wild recklessness, desire to break away from those grewsome sur roundings, overcame all caution Swift ly as ! dared in the dense blackness I crept ferward, feeling the smooth wall with eager fingers, my right hand still nerrously gripping the pistol butt Then I came to the door, similar to the other. although no groping about would reveal the catch or enable me to force it open
 Again struck a match, guarding the infant flame with both hands against a slight draft which threatened its ex- finction- caught q glimpse Of a shadow on the wall and made one swffk automatic effort te leap aside.
