Three yards of silk ribbon are the

The contribution seems something Of

Probably the ribbon will be sold to

1t was ten o'clock on a morning IN
early autumn when Gerry finally got
free of the freighter and took the ferry
for the other side of the river. He had
left all his baggage to be delivered at
the house later. The morning was
clear but sultry. In the city the apathy
of summer days had settled down.
People glanced at Gerry's heavy
tweeds and ANTICIPATED hat but they
did not smile, for Gerry himself was
such sight as makes men forget
clothes. The tan of his lean face, the
swing of his big, unpadded shoulders,
his clear eyes. carried the thoughts of
passers-by away from clothes and city
things. They seemed to catch breath
of spicy winds from the worn garments
that clung to the strangers virile body

The Barbadian laughed a little dryly
and shrugged his shoulders. The driver
got down, protesting, and helped the
family carry the house across the road
Then the cab went on and soon turned
up an avenue under a fiery canopy Of
acacia flambOyante.
AS they progressed, thick, twiuing
growths, spangled with brilliant
blooms, walled in the avenue. The air
grew cool but heavy with scents and
the full-havored spice of tropical gar
den under a blazing sun.
The air made Gerry dreamy. He
woke with a start when the Barbadian
said to the cabman, This will do.
You needn't drive in. Wait here"
The cab stopped. Just ahead was
the ruin of a great gate. The two pill
lars still stood, but they were almost
entirely hidden by vines. To one of
them chung the rusted vestige Of a
gate. Beyond the pillars there was a
winding way. Once it had been a
J road continuation of the avenue, now
it was but a tunnel through the dense

Of the tunnel was narrow path.
Even it was overgrown. The Barba-
dian led Gerry down the path.
They came out under a grove of
mighty trees whose dense shade had
| kept down the underground. and be-
yond the trees Gerry saw a VASE, ir-
regular mound of vines, with which
mingled giant geraniums, climbing
fuchsias, hOneysuckle and rose. Then
he spied broad flight of marble steps;

Gerry followed the Barbadian

two lounge chairs, invited Gerry to sit

crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down a turmoil of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be
fore his fingers could seize IL, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood daZed. The naturalness OF that
open door, of the old butler of the cool
shadows in the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy OF simple things. Old John
raised n smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled a
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. "How do
you do, JohnY
II am very well today, sir" said
John. Mrs. Gerry is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and if you were there to say she
wished to see YOU"
Gerry was puzzled. Why should Alix
think he would go TO the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said, Come
in" The words were so low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed 1t behind
him.
Alix, dressed in a filmy blue and
white housegown, stood in the middle
of the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching

face. For weeks she had been wonder

Easement Hanged in London.

London, Aug. 3.-Roger Case
ment, former British knight and
Consul, was hanged at 9 o'clock
this morning at the Pentonville
jail for high treason. He was con-
victed Of conspiring to cause an
armed revolt in Ireland and with
having sought German aid to that
end.
Two hours before the execution
a crowd of men, women and chill
dren gathered before the prison
gates. Twenty minutes before
Easement mounted the scaffold
the great prison bell commenced
to toll. The sound was greeted
with cheers from the crowd, min
gled with some groans. AT 9
o'clock the crowd had swollen to
such proportions that it extended
for two blocks FROM the prison
front. At one minute after 8 a
single stroke of the big bell an
nounced that the trap had been
sprung. 1t was the signal for a
hooking, jeering from the crowd,
which suddenly died away into
dead silence.
Easement met his death with
calm courage, according to eye
witnesses. Earlier in the morn

Catholic Church administered the
last rites in the cell of the con-
demned man and shortly after

Whether or not the promised
scrap OH Chambers for chairman
of the committee materialized is
not known officially, but rumors
from creditable sources have it
that while a majority of the COM
mittee responded to the crack of
the whip, his election was not by
any means unanimous, and we
are informed that during the Sc
cret session there was more or less
airing of dirty linen.
That Mr. Chambers was not at
all sure of his ability to again
handle the committee was evil
denced by the ceaseless activity Of
his handy men prior to the time
the committee convened and the
air of nervous tension which
seemed to peryade the committee
up to the time Of going into
