THE
TEETH OF THE TIGER
MAURICE LEBLANC
TRANSLATED BY
TEIXEIRA DE MATTOS

Hark, forward, my lads
Don Luis did not wait for the
enemies attack. Knowing their
intentions, he beat a retreat, un-
seen, toward Florence's rooms.
Here, as Weber did not yet know
the short cut through the out
houses, he had time to make sure
that the trapdoor was in perfect
working order, and that there was
no reason why they should dis
cover the existence Of a secret
cupboard at the back of the al
cove, behind the curtains Of the
bed.
Once inside the passage, he
went up the first staircase, fol-
lowed the long corridor contrived
in the wall, climbed the ladder
leading to the boudoir, and, per
ceiving that this second trapdoor
fitted the woodwork so closely
that no one could suspect any
thing, he closed it over him. A
few minutes later he heard the
noise Of men making a search
above his head.
And so, on the Oath Of May, at
3 O'Clock in the afternoon, the
position was as follows: Flor
ence Levasseur with a warrant
out against her, CASTOR Sauverand
in prison, Marie Fauville in
prison and refusing all food, and
Don Luis, who believed in their
innocence and who alone could
have saved them, Don Luis was
being blockaded in his own house
and hunted down by a score of
detectives.
As for the Mornington inherit
ance, there could be no more ques-
|tion of that, because the legatee,
in his turn, had set himself in. open
rebellion against society.
Capital! said Don Luis, with
a grin. "This is life as / under
stand it. The question is a simple
one and may be put in different
ways. How can a wretched, I'M
washed beggar, with not a penny
in his pocket, make a fortune in
"a hours without setting foot out
side his howell? How can a gen
eral, with no soldiers and no am
munition left, win a battle which
he has lost? In short, how shall

present tomorrow evening at the
meeting which will be held on the
Boulevard Suchet and to behave
IN such a way as to save Marie
Fauville, Florence L~evasseur,
Castor Sauverand, and my ex-
cellent friend Don Luis Perenna
in the bargain7"
Dull blows came from some
where. The men must be hunting
the roofs and sounding the walls.
Don Luis stretched himself flat
on the floor, hid his face in his
folded arms and, shutting his
eyes, murmured:

BUT FEW FOREIGNERS
VOTE IN

Buenos Aires (by maiD.-Only 81
citizens of the United States registered
for the municipal elections in Buenos
Aires under the new law which gives
the vote to foreigners in municipal
elections. The censu of 1914 showed
that there were 3,449 Americans in the
Argentine republic. 1t is estimated hat
this number has double since the war
began and that most Of them are living
in Buenos Aires.
The newspapers commented unfa-
vorably on the fact that, Of the 100000
foreigners in the city who were en-
titled to vote, only 1866 registered
and said this showed hat they had no
interest in the city beyond making as
much money as possible and then re-
turning to their native countries. The
papers argued from his that the for
eigner's collaboration in the city gov
eminent could never be depended
upon.

In the Death Grips

Here is an editorial by Lloyd George, prime min
lister of England 1t was written as preface to
newly published volume of his war speeches:
81 never believed that the war would be short
war that in some mysterious way, by negotiation
or compromise, could free Europe from the
malignant military autocracy which is endeavoring
to trample it into submission and mortal death.
81 always believed that the machine which has
established it's despotic control over the minds and
bodies of it's victims and has then organized and
driven the INTO slaughter, in order to extend that
control to the rest of the world would only be de-
destroyed if free people proved themselves strong
and steadfast enough to defeat its attempt in arms
''The events of the last few weeks must have
made it plain to every thinking that there is no
longer room for compromise between the ideals for
which we and our enemies stand. The democracy
and autocracy have come to the death grip; one or
the other will fasten its hold upon mankind.
81 have no doubt that freedom will triumph. But
whether it will soon or late, after final supreme
effort in the next few months, or long drawn
agony, depends the vigor and self-sacrfice with
which the children of liberty especially those be-
hind the lines, dedicate themselves to the struggle
There is no time for ease, delay or debate. The
call is imperative, the choice is clear 1t is for each
free citizen to do his part"

Fire Them, Governor

The first result of the supreme courts decision
that the public service commission may not set
aside the City of Tacoma s franchises should be the
removal of the three members of the board By
their conduct while this was pending they have
entirely untitled themselves for continuing in
those offices. Gov. Lister should waste no more
time in WIPING THAT COMMISSION CLEAN.
Chairman Blaine was an open advocate and, IN
fact, litigant for the street railways point-of-
view that franchises scraps of paper which
may be violated at will and not solemn obligations
to be lived up to. Lewis and Spinning sde-stepped
around until nobody knows what they believe or
stand for.
The supreme court, to its credit, decided that
contract of city with corporation is binding on
the corporation well as on the city. AS prece-
dent that is mighty good. The public will be
pleased that the decision came that way.
AT the same time, OF course, the ruling does not
solve Tacoma's transportation problem. For inn
mediate purposes perhaps it makes it worse. The
Tacoma Railway Power Co., partly thru its own
stupidity, its own poor management its own wrong
gear-up with the community and partly thru chang
ing circumstances over which it had control, is
in very tight hole. 1t is not giving decent services
its expenses are mounting; the demands on it are
growing; its revenues limited by the five-cent
fare
The Times believes the only ultimate outcome is
municipal ownership if this city is to get good
transportation service. But that cannot be brought
about now. Some immediate radical reorganization
of the company itself must be made 1t must squeeze
out its water, pare down extrayagances and gain
the full cooperation of every element of this COM
munity if is to escape the bankruptcy court and
the city is to escape the chaos which such step
might bring about locally.
The help of good, honest, capable PUBLIC
SERVICE commission will be needed. The the in
cumbents Gov. Lister, and pick some Hundred
Percenters for that job.

MARRIAGE IS THE
CLOSEST HUMAN TIE

CLOSEST HUMAN TIE
Sometimes, Donna, l think l
am getting old. at least | feel as
tho | had lived centuries since
Dick died." | said to Donna Ten
ney yesterday as we were riding
thru the park in her electric.
1t is strange thing, little
book, how our intimates change
from time to time.
When | was first married to
Dick, think | was most comfort
able with dear Mollie and Kitty
Malram. for both those girls were
the embodiments of the youth l
craved. You see, l was still very
lyoung. altho | had been teaching
school some years and had
learned to be very sedate-much
more so than l ever have been
since.
But | loved youth and the
youthful exuberance of Kitty and
Mollie. and think IL the episode
of Eleanor Fairlow had not come
early into my married life would
have turned into a butterfly sort
of a woman. | remember how
happy it made me the first night
| saw Jim Edie, and he jokingly
acted as tho he were much sur
prised at the fact Of Dicks cop
ping out" such a pretty young
girl.
That was the way he put it, and
it must have made great impress
sion, for | have remembered it all
these years.
Then came my great catastro-
phe. and Eliene, who l knew had
passed thru much the same fire,
became my great friend.
Altho we never mentioned our
troubles to each other, yet
knew that the great bond between
Eliene and me was the knowledge
that we both had been disillu-
stoned.
When I thought Sonnie was
coming to me, | think I turned to
Aunt Mary more than any Of the
rest, because she had always
wanted a child so much and life
had denied It to her.
And my long year Of illness
brought back to me my dear An
ME with her warm sympathy, and
never ending patience.
Now some way it Is Donna
Donna, that never before appre-
ciated-who seems to bring me
the most comfort and consolation.
When I first knew Donna, she
seemed cold and distant when con-
trasted with Kitty's brilliant per-
sonality. | always rather resent
ed the fact, too, that she went
back to Bill and remarked him,
but someway that seems very
clear to me now.
| A woman's husband is always
her husband, I believe, whether
she loves him with the first wild
passion Of youth, or has settled
down into the habit of being a
wife, II 10 all the same, she loses
great part Of her life-yes, her
livery self-when she loses him.
| | know that l would much
rather have Dick out there in the
cemetery vault, than know that
he was still on earth and did did
not belong to me any longer.
That is the reason l think that
l chung to him thru sunshine and
shadow.
There is something in the tie
of marriage that is really more
binding than anything else in the
world. Annie told me once that
even when Tim was drinking and
abusive, yet she always felt as
tho she had something to lean
upon.
wonder what II is, little
book, that makes a woman feel
this way? Is it the solemn cere-
mony of marriage, or is it the
habit of mind one gets into-that
habit of always including your
husband with yourself in your
thoughts?

My Dear Miss Grey: l have
been thinking about this for
some time and the more it
wrangles in my heart, the more
provoked l get.
l don't see why 1t wouldn't
be perfectly fair for this gov
eminent of ours to conscript
some of the women for Red
Cross work. Miss Grey, there
are women here in my neigh
borhood that do just as little
as 1t is possible for woman to
do and live. They go to
Bridge" parties, dances, mo-
vies and everywhere else, but
they just simply cannot find
time for Red Cross work. One
woman went so far as to tell
me that she wasn't going to
wear herself out as she would
never get any thanks for it.
Another has taken up science
and said she didn't believe in
war.
l know there are hundreds
of good women in the city
working for the Red Cross; but
we need all OF them that can
possibly spare few minutes
each day or week, Just as I'm
Gle Sam needs, and Is calling
for every ounce of man-power.

(SpeciaI to The Times)


Within the next few days the U.
S. senate will fill the chairman
ship of the highly important conf
mittee on foreign relations made
vacant by the death of Stone OF
Missouri.
In point of seniority Gilbert M.
Hitchcock is next in line for the
place and will get 1t unless the
senators who have been criticizing
the conduct of the war, decrying
red-tape and calling for real lead
ers, revolt against hoary sena-
torial precedent and themselves
cut red tape by defeating the Ne
braskan.
1t SO happens that there are on
this committee and available as
chairman four of the biggest men
In the senate-Willlams Of Mis-
sissippa, Lodge of Massachusetts,
Knox of Pennsylvania, and Borah
of Idaho. Williams, IL chosen,
would have nothing to explain and
would be in complete accord with
the administration. The other
three, altho of the opposition
party. have supported the presi-
dent on all the big issues.
Some Record
Hitchcock's record Is one of
the most peculiar in the senate.
The high spots of his support of
the war and of the administration
came in the early part of 1917
when he favored the armed neu-
trality bill and the resolution de-
claring war.
| Before that he took a position
whose only result could be cripple
England and France in their war
with Germany. Since We entered
the war, he has often been one of
the bitterest critics and foes of
President Wilson and Secretary
Baker.
In the very first month of the
war on Aug. 10, 1914, Hitchcock
introduced a bill to prohibit the
sale or the purchase or delivery in
the United States of bonds or Sc
curities issued by governments at
war and issued since the war be-
gan. The passage of this bill
would have seriously crippled the
countries destined to be our al
lies.
On Dec. 7, 1914, he introduced
a bill which covered precisely the
things for which Germans had
been clamoring. 1t prohibited any
one in this country from selling
arms, ammunition, artillery or
Explosives for expectation during
the existence of the war except up
on proof that said arms are not to
be used against a country with
which the United States Is at
peace. Germany had abundance
of arms and munitions at that
time. Furthermore the allies
had chased her merchant vessels
from the seas.
''IncidentaI, Accidental"
The day after the Lusitania
murders. on May s, 1915, Hitch
cock was quoted as saying:
II think the duty of our gov
eminent in the present crisis
should be restricted to demanding
PREPARATION for loss of American
lives and property. The loss of
American lives was not caused by
desire to injure Americans but
was incidental and accidental"
The president sent his famous
message to Germany on May 10,
1915, which brought us very close
to war. The following day Hitch
cock was quoted as follows:
Personally l shall not be will
ing to 60 to war for the purpose
Of securing to American citizens
the right to travel in the war
zone on an English ship loaded
with arms and ammunition"
AS late as March 1, 1917 when
the president had revealed the
astonishing note of Foreign Minis
ter Zimmerman in which he
sought to have Japan and Mexico

Dear Miss Grey: The young
man l am engaged to is now
with the American army in
France. While he writes just
as frequently, lately he has
mentioned his acquaintance
with a beautiful French girl,
and he speaks Of her in nearly
every letter. Miss Grey, l love
him more than all the world
and an awful fear is clutching
at my heart. l am afraid he
will forget me. Do you thing 1t
would be wise for me to mention
this to him? LILA.
As long as he tells you about
the girl there isn't much to be
feared. It's silence that is dan
gerOus. Try not to worry about
this affair; instead strive bravely
to be true to all that Is fine In
wOmanhOOd, and instinctively, UNI
consciously your character will
reflect itself in your messages to
him. Try to hold fast to the
thought that he loves you and has
gone over there to fight for YOUR
protection and honor. And like
wise that unflinching faith will be
reflected to him, too, and help
him to keep that star Of your love
and faith and hope ever burning
brightly before him. Write cheer
full, interesting, chummy letters
full Of plans for the future
(yOurs and his) when he returns.
This will bind You to him much
closer than to constantly voice
your feau that he might forget you
or that another could take your
place. SUMMON ALL OF THE
OF YOUR WOMAN
