Church of Newport from her
uncle, Capt. l.. S. Arnold, who
is at Camp Jackson, Columbia,
5. C.
Capt. Arnold was bern and
reared in Newark and his le-
gion of friends here will enjoy
his splendid letter.
Dear Jimmie: Your very nice
letter was received the 18th.
1t was very kind of you to
write me. surely do appre-
ciate it.
You asked me if | expected
to go overseas. Yes, | do, but
no one knows when. They are
organizing lot of new briga-
des; in fact, sixteen of them,
and that will call for more than
600 officers Of my grade and
maybe more. If | am sent to
one of these outfits | will not
leave this country under three
or four months, but one never
knows.
They are enlarging the camp
quite lot; they have a "sau-
sage" and twenty-one planes.
Net all the planes have been
up yet, but there are some of
them upstairs most all the
time. Then there is the artil-
lery of II guns working on the
target range, which with other
activities here make quite a
show.
| have only run onto one man
whom | knew in Arkansas. He
was Ben Burchfield.
Give my regards to Mr..
Jones, and tell him he should
not be discouraged because he
cannot get into service. There
is so much to do at home, lib
erty bond sales, food conser-
walton and many other things
that he is we'll fitted for. Take
my CASE have been training
men for the other fellow to
command in battle, and | sup
pose | will have to tell people
that | was a veteran of Camp
jackson, but there is consola-
ton in the fact that | have sent
over soldiers, not men in uni
form. You cannot imagine how
badly hate to see each lot go.
You wrote something in your
letter about poor boys
forget tiff you have any SYM
pathy use it for us who are
left behind. | wish you could
see and understand the spirit
Of these men; it is grand.
/ see they are going to get
the boys up to as. Great stuff

Cuartermaster will be delight
ed to fit out with a new suit.
would like to get about thir-
ty or forty | know and let them
do some real mems work. Of
course | will not get the chance
to get them, but may be they
will be placed under some man
Whc is interested in them and
will see that they sweat the
beer and booze out of their
systems and learn what is in
side of their potato skins by
actual experience, and teach
them what it takes to keep a
horse fit for army service.
Regards to the folks,

Between his study and the pass

was padded and covered with OH

a heavy curtain.

Seated motion!essly, side by

remark. Soon after, Nazeroux
fell asleep. Don Luis remained in
his chair without moving, his earx
pricked up. Everything was quiet
in the house. Outside, from time

What do you mean?'
"I'm dead''
Mazeroux seemed staggered.
The argument struck him fully. He
at once perceived it, with all it's
common sense and all it's aburd-
ity. And suddenly he burst into
a roar of laughter which bent him
in two aud convulsed his doleful
features i'll the oldest fashion:
"Oh, Chief, just the samc as
always! Lord, how funny |!
Will I come alongi should
think 1 would! As often as you
like! You re dead and buried and
put out Of sight Oh, what a
joke, what a .iokc!"
Hippolyte Fauvi!le, civil Gu
9lneer, lived on the Boulevard
Suchet, near the Notifications, in
q fair sized private house having
on its left a small garden in which
he had built a large room that
served az his study. The garden
was thus reduced to q few trees
and to a strip Of grass along the
f'ailings, which were covered with
ivy and contained a gate that
opened OH the Boulevard Suchet.
Don Luis Perenna went with
Mazeronx to the commissary's Of
ficc at Passy, where Mazeroux, on
Pcrenna's instructions, gave his
name and asked to have M. Eau
ville's house watched during the
night by two policemen who were
to arrest any suspicious person
toying to obtain admission. The
commissary agreed to the request.
Don Luis and Mazeroux next
dined in the neighborhood. At 9
o'clock they reached the front
door of the house.
Alexander" said Perenna.
Yes, Chief7',
You're not afraid9"
No, Chief. Why should be?''
"Why7 Because, in defending
M. Fauville aud his son, we are
attacking people who have a great
interest in doing away with them
and because those people seem

for the next days interview,
begged NJ. FauviAe to take all the
precautions which his detectives
might advise.
Fauville at first displayed a cer-
tain i'll humor.
My precautions are taken,
gentlemen, and we'll taken. And,
on the other hand, [ am afraid that

"And If it's too lateg" Don

Inspector Verot told M. Des-

murders would take place tonight.
He said it was fatal and irrevoca-

"Tonights" cried Fauville
angrily. Il tell you mol Not to-
night. I'm sure of that. There are
things which l know, aren't there.
which you do not?"
YES" retorted Don Luis, s'but
there may also be things which In
spector Verot knew and which you
don't know. He had perhaps
learned more of your enemies sec
refs than you did. The proof is
that he was suspected, that q man
carrying an ebony walking stick
was seen watching his movements,
that, lastly, he was killed"
Hippolyte Fauville's self assur-
ance decreased. Perenns took adj
vantage of this to insist and he in
sisted to such good purpose that
Fauville, though without with
drawing from his reserve, ended
by yielding before a will that was
stronger than his own.
"Well, but you surely don t in
tend to spend the night in hereY'
I'VE do indeed"

"Mme. Fauville is not threat

"No, not at all. It's 1 who am

Auverards offered me a seat in
their box at the opera; and you

They would like it."
But I shouldn't I. Besides, l

"Then I'll make your apologies

Yes, DO"
She drew her cloak around her
with a graceful gesture, and stood
for a few moments, without NOV

farewell. Then she said:

"Oh, amuse myself!' she said.
There's not much amusement
about the opera and an evening
party"
"Still, it's better than keeping
ones ROOM"
There was some little e~onstraint.
1t was obviously one of those i'll
assorted households in which the
husband, suffering in health and
not caring for the pleasures Of So
ciety, stays at home, while the wife
seeks the enjoyments to which her
age and habits entitle her.
As he said nothing more, she
bent over and kissed him on the
forehead. Then, once more bowling
to the two visitors, she went out
A moment later they heard the
sound Of the motor driving away.
Hippolyte Fauville at once rose
and rang the bell. Then he said:
mo one here has any idea of the
danger hanging over me. / have
confidcd in nobody, not even in
Silvestre, my own man, though he
has been in my service for years
and is honesty ITSELF"
The manservant entered.
II am going to bed, Silvestre,"
said N. Fauville. "Get everything
ready"
Silvestre opened the upper part
Of the great sofa, which made q
comfortable bed, and laid the
sheets and blankets. Next, at his
masters orders, he brought a jug
Of water, q glass, q plate If biscuits,
and . dish Of fruit.
n. Fauville ate Q couple Of bis
cults and then cut q dessert apple.
It was not ripe. He took two
others, felt them, and. not thinking
them good, put them back as well.
Then he peeled . pear and ate it.
'You can leave the fruit diah,"
he said to his man. II shall be glad
Of it, Il ! am hungry during the
night. 800 Oh, I was forgetting!
These two gentlemen are staying.

Tho man placed the fruit dish on
the table before retiring. Perenna,
who was noticing everything,
and who was afterward to remem-
Der every smallest detail Of that
evening, which his memory record
ed with . sort Of mechanical faith
fitness, counted three pears and
four apples in the dish.
Meanwhile, Fauville went up the
winding staircase, and, going
along the gallery, reached the
room where his son lay in bed.

WOMEN IN LAWMAklNG BODIES
Were Regular Members of English Ma

Women in parliament are by no

who acted as the presiding officer,
and number Of distinguished Ro-
man ladies. To be sure, their au-
thority was confined TO the decision
of questions referring only to female
dress, calls, etiquette, entertainments
and the like. But also in England
women formerly sat in parliament
Ia the Witenagemot (the national
council) of the Anglo-Saxons women
were regular members. Thus, in the
great council of 694 women of high
rank and ADDRESSES participated. and
the decisions, are, among others,
signed BY five female representatives.
But even in the time of Henry III
and Edward l ADDRESSES still occupied
their seats in the English parlia-
ment, and only as late as under Ed
ward III the custom seems TO have
been abandoned, as the eountesses
entitled to seats in the house of lords
were then asked to send male repre-
sentatives.

HAD NOT HEARD OF THE WAR
Colorado Sheep Rancher Not Aware OF
World Conflict Until Arrested for
Failure to Register

Private John Allen-or maybe il
was John Sharp Williams-used to
tell a story about a mountaineer in
the Tennessee Cumberlands who
thought that the Civil war was still
going, 40 years after APPROXIMATION.
A Colorado sheep rancher matches
it. goes it one better, relates the Bos-
ton Transcript. Arrested for fail
ure TO register for the draft. he ex-
eused himself by explaining that he
didn't know there was any war. He
had never heard of Liege and Ma
muir, of the Marine or Ypres. Of the
Lusitania or the Sussex. Incredible
but for the fact that the man was
sheep herder. His occupation fur
nishes him with an alibi. if not with
a ticket of exemption, for the sheep
herders ON the lonely sagebrush des-
erts of the West of all known beings
are the loneliest.
Out with his fiocks for six months
or a year ar a time alone under the
stars with his dog and his sheep, re-
lieyed at long intervals by another
herder as completely cut off from
civilization as himself, the sheepman
is the antithesis of the city dweller,
getting his news hot from the wire
that leads to the ends of the earth.
Not even the tender on a hghtship,
spending his life at sea upon a boat
that never changes its anchorage,
is so completely isolated from his fell
lows as the sheep herder.
