street with his mother giving Joy to

death was so near his home, Mr..

Special 10 The Washington Henld
New York, Do &.-Sensational
charges, in which a French maid, a
child dangerously in with scarlet fever,
and an alleged confession figure. are
made In a divorce suit filed in White
Plains by Mrs. Gladys OussanL. wife Of
Joseph Oussani, a millionaire cigarette
manufacturer and next door neighbor
TO John d. Rockefeller, at Pocantico
Hils.
In her complaint Mrs. oussani says
she Gs Joseph's second wife and that it
was because OF her devotion to one Of
his two small children by a former mar
riage that her husband strayed from the
beaten path. The child had scarlet
fever, she sets forth, and, feeling it her
duty to give the little one every care,
she established hospital on the second
floor of the house and went into quaran-
tine.
One night early last November. when
the child was still severely i'll, Mrs. Gus
sani heard rappings on a wall. Next
night came more rappings This con-
tinued until November 30 when she de-
termined to investigate.
Robing herself in a germ-proof gown
she crept down the stairs and ap-
preached the door Of her husbands
room. Hearing voices within she quietly
opened the door. She asserts she found
her husband in a compromising position
with her maid, Rose Fracque.
In O supporting affidavit the maid says
that in the first week in November Gus
sani sent for her and accomplished her
downfall. Therefore she made repeated
visits to his room, because she feared
his anger If she refused. On the night Of
October 20, in answer to rappings on
the wall, she made her usual visit, but
feeling a premOnition Of discovery, she
begged Oussani to lock the door. He
laughed at her, but few minutes later
Mrs. Oussani entered tbs room.

Never. in all her ten years behind the
ribbon counter, had Helen Rcyston look
ed forward to her holidays with greater
anticipation. She was tIreS and weary
OF measuring ribbons and OF gUing to tn
tiny ballroom at night, where no CON-
tort prevailed save that Of having heI
little sister waiting for her.
Helen had managed, by saving even
the pennies, to support herself and Dolly,
Il slim child OF thirteen. for ten years.
For the last five of those years she had
also by dint OF saving Inch money ac-
cumulated meager sum that enabled
her TO take q much needed holiday. She
and Dolly found a cheap little boarding
house by the sea and there for Two
weeks out of the year. they managed to
forget that toll and weATin-ss Wa the
greater part of their existence.
Il can hardly wait until Saturday.
Dolly mine" Helen sail as she slipped
her arm about the slim litrNs sister whose
cheeks were only a shade less pale than
her own. Il think IL I hadn't had you

will have the time of CIR lives this year

But, alas. Helen was es,lned not to
get her holiday at the seaside. On the
Friday morning before they cad intend
ed to leave she was seized with pains
that flung her onto her bed In an agony
OF suffering. Try as she might TO stand
and to overcome the physical pain, she
could not and was forced to succumb.
Dolly, white and frightened. insisted
on running out to the old doctor who
had brought her safely through the
measeLs and all her childish complaints.
The old doctor had gone away, but

"She might be-slone-if you put
this off," DR.. Carter said gently. He
thought only for a moment then looked
smilingly at Dolly. My mother will be
delighted to have this youngster with
her-Until you have recovered" he said,
turning his eyes full on Helen.
Dolly flew to her sisters arms and
clung there weeping wildly until DR..
Carter drew her gently away.
