you don't know Maffle."
 And who is the man in the work mans cap?"
 That is the carpenter. Tordelli You don't mean to say you haven't heard of Tordelli They are the great Italian characters of the day"
 Maffle is a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies who made q speech in favor of peace, saying it was really not to Italy's interest to carry on the war. TOrdelli was for war. and felt that the peace speech must be rebuked. He accordingly waylaid Maffle on tramway as he came from the chamber. Maffle had an enormous beard which was his pride and best known characteristic. As Maffle stepped on the car, Tordelli deftly operated a pair of scissors be- fore the surprised duputy knew what

was happening. Then with a shock of beard in his hand Tordeli disap- peared while Maffle was left beard less.
 Tordelli was arrested and his trial soon began. All Rome became inter ested, the question of peace and war divided sentiment into two camps. When the trial came all Italy awaited the fate of the carpenter. He pro- duced the beard at the rtrial, and it was duly entered by the court as an exhibit. Thereupon Maffle applied for the beard but the court held that it had been sepaeated from him and was now in possession of the state. Tordelli suddenly became a popular hero, as defender of the war, while Maffle had champions for his cause and his beard. Their pictures are the features of all screens.
