"IRON MASK MAN" A DREAM.

A wandering newspaper paragraph
notes that Alexander Dumas, pere, in
PRODUCES into one of his novels a
brother of Louis XIV as "the man
with the iron mask"
This was pure fiction on the part
Of the novelist. The newspaper para
graph adds that the man with the
iron mask was but an obscure Ital-
ian political adventurer known as
Count Matthioli."
Count Anthony Matthioli, as a mat
ter of history, was secretary of State
to Charles III and afterward to his
son Ferdinand, whose debauched hab-
its and need of money laid him open
to a bribe from Louis XIV for per-
mission to place an army of occupa-
ton in his territory with view to
establishing French influence in Italy.
Matthioli. who had been literally
bribed by the king. was discovered
intriguing with Spain for a better
bribe.
Louis took signal vengeance on his
betrayer. Matthioli was entrapped at
a secret interview on the frontier,
brought across the line and placed
in a fortress opposite Cannes. He
remained there eleven years and was
then, in 1893. taken to the Bastile at
Paris, where he died November 10.
170S. at the age of So, after having
been immured for twenty-four years.
The mask which Matthioli was con-
PEELED to wear was not. as a matter
of fact. II iron. but OF velvet. The
confinement of this prisoner was con-
sidered one Of the blackest stains that
'darken the character of the grande

A division order of the French Twen-
ty-frst Infantry contains the follow
ing description of the Americans serv-
ices, but does not begin to describe
what they suffered and endured in
various sectors OF the front while
taking out the wounded:
"The courage and devotion Of these
Americans, volunteers in the ambu-
lance service, has never faltered for
an instant amid the most trying cir
cumstances. In the most perilous sit
uations they secured the transporta-
ton of the wounded with a calmness
and devotion to their duty which has
been the admiration OF ALL"
At the conclusion of the French Of
fensive last fall that drove the Ger
mans out of forts Vaux and Douau-
mont, all six of the men found them
selves Situated in the Verdun sector.
They stayed on while the French
were still Cleaning up" the sector,
living in the cellar of an abandoned
monastery in Verdun by day and
driving their ambulances loaded with
wounded by night.
The night of December q, the six
began to make preparations to go out
with their cars as usual. Their way
lay from the city of Verdun toward
what had been the town of Bras,
through which they were forced to
ing station over a mile and a half
in the country.
The thermometer registered 20 de-
grees below zero and the road was
choked with snow and the debris of
the battle that had Just been fought
over 1t. As the Americans reached the
walls OF Verdun they were stopped
by the night patrol who told them
the Germans had shelled a convoy
that tried to get across the road and
had blown It to pieces. A consider
able stretch OF the road had been
blown away also.

Of Paula Letchworth, is an unusual
society drama dealing with woman's
independence and containing a mys-
tfying situation. Fs.7V
Paula Letchworth, girl Of
eighteen of twenty, has grown up in
an atmosphere where no hint of q
womanhood has entered.
The trustee of the estate is Allen
Cotter, rising young lawyer. In his
frequent visits to the Letchworth
home Allen has seen much of Paula
and has come to love her. She is not
wholly Indifferent to him.
Then she meets Lawrence Top
ham a blase society man, who with
facile talk of woman's equality with
man charms her.
Lawrence desires to marry her.
Blinded by the glitter Of q new life,
Paula finally weds him.
Once married, Lawrence gains
control Of the estate and begins to
tread the primrose path. At home
Lawrence taunts Paula about Allen,

pinch comes, and he cannot recover

Out Of her misery and hopelessness
a new courage comes to her and she
tells him that she will go to Allen.
And Paula telephones Allen.
And during the night a new
thought has come to Lawrence
perhaps Paula can get money from
Allen sufficient to cover the margins
on his gamble. He goes to her, and,
though she listens disdainfully, she
tells him, "Don't worry, viii get
you the money from Allen for you"
Allen who has come in response to
Paula's appeal, enters just in time
to hear this and naturally supposes
that Paula has betrayed him in the
interest Of Lawrence. He asks coldly
how much they want and, after
writing check leaves the apart

he writes a hand with a revolver is

Lawrence slips from his chair dead
Allen arrives at the door as q
shot rings out. He bursts open the

entrance of the library, where lies
the body of Lawrence. Paula rushes
in just as Allen enters, and, seeing
