Thieves, Insurance Plan.

A thieves mutual aid society has
sprung up in London. It's aim is to
pay police court fines inflicted on
thieves. Offenders are insured against
fines, paying toward the support Of
the society as they would in life in
surance proposition.
1t is said that both honest and dis
honest men have dubbed together to
make a livelihood from the business
done by the society. They appoint an
official called "the banker" who col
lects the money, and it is his duty to
attend the court and pay the fines.
In one case a youth caught stealing
had in his possession a card showing
subscriptions to the amount of f2 for
use in paying fines of friends found
guilty of theft.

keepers and amusement caterers of ev-
cry sort were improving their proper
ties, arranging their advertisements
and preparing for another season of
peace and plenty. Then suddenly came
the crash, and for them it looked the
end of the world when, on August 5.
the Monte Carlo casino closed its doors.
Meanwhile the people whose busi-
ness had always been to make the Ri
yiera attractive, were looking each
other in the face. They saw nothing
but ruin ahead. But something desper-
ate had to be done, for the living of
many thousands depended on their de-
cision and it's success. Just as brave
ly as the young men were fighting In
the North, the older men in the South
put their backs to the burden. They
got no sympathy from outside. They
must stand together and save the Ri.
viera as their sons and younger broth
ers were saving the rest of France.
Casino Doing Its "6it."
Few hotels were to remain shut for
the season, except those which were
needed for hospitals. The shops were
to do business as usual" and great
petition was sent to the Casino not to
keep it's doors closed: it was more
sympathetic" it was more patriotic
to open them. The Societe saw the
Justice of this, since the life Of the
Riviera might hang on their world.
Consent was given, though it looked
as if it meant a large monetary loss;
and on January 1, 1915, when the war
was six months old, the Casino at
Monte Carlo began to do its "bit" by
the public, as already it was doing for
its employees.
By this time everything was getting
into full swing. But what different
"everything" from what we had all
known! Ii you were not doing some
good work, public or private, you
were as much ashamed Of yourself as
if you had stayed in London. Not even
an automobile dared to show it's nose
unless it had Red Cross on it. And
without it's dust-raising hordeS Of mo-
tors the Riviera began to be a Won
drous new place, that had to be dis
covered all over again. When you had
finished your daily work Of visiting
the poor or of suffering in some rock
village or hospital, when you had put
together your pile of knitted socks, or
the bandages you had promised to
make, you could actually go for quiet
walk-a joy forgotten since high-pow-
cred cars took over the Riviera.
Ordinary gaieties were given up, and
it wasn't fully realized yet how kindly,
how cleverly they could be organized
for doing good. In Mentone the tall,
black Senegalese soldiers had begun to
appear, at first to be trained for new
kind of fighting; then, when they had
fought, as invalids in the hotel-hospit-
ais. But, we'll or wounded, they were
a gay crowd. They made Mentone
picturesque with their costumes and
their camp fires and their games in the
streets. .-...N

was born in the French Riviera Au-
gust ., 1914, writes c. n. and A. NJ.
Williamson in the London Graphic.
OF course, the Riviera was struck
the same sweeping blow that struck all
France across her brave, astonished
face. At the clang of the tocsin, the
men of the Midi ran out into the
streets of picturesque rock villages
among the hills and tourist towns
along the sea, as the men of the North
were doing. But the Riviera thrilled
under the menace of a peril all her
own. Just across the beautiful Gorge
of st. Louis lived friend who might
in an hour become an enemy. Italy
was there, with her mountain forts
looking towards the forts of France.
Lazy, summertime Mentone and
Monte Carlo and Nice, with nothing
doing" except for bathers and baskers
on the beach, or faithful lovers of
quiet game of roulette, walked up with
a Mortified start. Would Italian guns
begin battering the Cote d'Azur? Of
ticers notored secretly by night up to
the uuadrilateral of forts in the noun
tains, taking ammunition in automobile
vans commandeered from the big
shops of Nice, those charming shops
where any thought of tragedy would
have seemed ridiculously out of place.
Flight of the Working-FoIk.
Panic-stricken, the Italian working
folk settled along the coast from Men

across the frontier. They feared in

rors. Under the binding sun of Au-

endless procession, and those who can
imagine only professions of smart au-
tomobiles between MentOne ana
Cannes would have thought themselves

young, tottering children and babies IN

he was lonely. He inclined to sulks.

But now, of n sudden, he had been

significance of companionship between
a man and woman who had some
thing in common aside from commu-
