QUESTION RIGHT TO SWORD
Historic Relic Now In Possession of

Evoked Discussion.

The gold sword that Louis XVI pre-
scented to John Paul Jones in recogni-
ton of the fight he made with the Bon
Homme Richard against the Scraps
has been presented to the University
of Pennsylvania by Edward c. Dale.
son of the late Richard c. Dale. a for
mer president of the Society of Cincin-
natl. The sword has been in the pos
session of the Dale family for more
than a century.
This Is the sword which Charles
Henry Hart, a local historian, de-
clares now should be In possession
of Admiral Dewey. 1t had been gen
orally accepted that the sword passed
by will of Commodore Jones to Com
modore Dale, forbear of Richard C.
Dale. Mr.. Hart denied this. He de-
clares that the sword was in posses
sion of John Paul Jones when he died
in Paris, in 1892, and that Jane Tay-
lor of Dumfries, Scotland, sister of
Jones, went to Paris and took posses
sion of everything left by the sea

Frank Lloyd Wright, the Chicago

oriental art products from his bunga-

complete collection of its kind in the
United States. There will be models
of Japanese temples, rare antique bro
cades of various periods, samples of
antique Chinese pottery, ancient Ko-

looked all at once gaunt and desolate
and despoiled. What could Virginia,
what could Damory Court, be to him
without her? The wrinkled note lay
on the desk and he bent suddenly with
sharp catching breath and kissed it.
There welled over him a wave OF
rebellious longing. The candle spread
to hazy yellow blur. The walls fell
away. He stood under the moonlight
with his arms about her, his lips on
hers and his heart beating to the
sound of the violins behind them.
He laughed-a harsh wild laugh that
rang through the gloomy room. Then
he threw himself on the couch and
buried his face in his hands. He was
