stated.
The steps leading to her expulsion
date back TO the time when her Demo-
cratic organization indorsed the NOM

,ort,ing to Mrs. Crosby's statement. 1T
vas time we had a clean, decent Demo-
cratic candidate" she said, and wrote

Twice during the night they appeared

drove them back with shots. On two
occasions they sought food at two e.

thought they were ordinary tramps and

they came upon the Abandoned orchard
beside the stone wall. and they laid down
TO eat without taking any precautions.
Hitherto one had watched while the
other dozed, but the sight OF food caused
them to forget their safety. and so For

them unobserved.
AT the time that Sheriff Wooster sent
his posses to surround the wood II was

that neither OF them had used revolvers

pocket when Forsaith and Rowe ordered
him to hold up his hands, and when he
was searched pistol was found to-
gether with about twenty cartridges.
The gun Is believed to be the one stolen
from one of the three keepers that
Stivers and Bassett sandbagged when
they left Sing Sing. Stivers said after
his capture the only reason he did not
shoot Forsaith and Rowe was that ne
realized their identity too late to get
at his gun.
Stivers and Bassett said their orig

Sing Sing was to reach Canada, and
they were trying to do this when cap

stole Another Car.
In Concord they abandoned the green
Cadillac In which they had come most
of the way from Sing Sing, and stole
another ear, a Packard. Then they
went to Henniker and tried TO hold up a
lunchroom proprietor. with disastrous
results. 1t was from this point that
their real troubles dated, as the lunch
room man showed fght and the conviets
were compelled to abandon their auto
mobile and take to the woods. Bassett
said there was no real reason why they
should have tried to rob the man: they
had money, and they had offered him a
$40 bill In payment Of sandwiches.
"But he showed lot of money when
he went to make change said the con-
Wet. and I got excited"
Both Stlvers and Bassett told Warden
Lawes in the Concord Jail that they had
not planned their escape, but that the
idea came to them suddenly when they
found themselves alone in the Sing Sing
key room with guard They knocked
him down with a sock filled with sand,
which the convicts said they carried
always for an emergency" and then
felled the other guards between them
and the gates Of the prison. Both men
are expert automobile mechanics. and
they had the idea they could steal auto
mobiles. run them until they were worn

gasolene, however, proved a factor that
they could not overcome. and the author

Tho oonvicts also told the warden OF
an adventure they hid at Port Chester,

gas tanks. A policeman directed them
to Garage several citizens Htopv~d
and talked to them as the gaso!ene was
pumped into their car, and Ave troopers
of the State constabulary surrounded the
car at a bayonet point. Stivers and
Bassett obligngly stopped. and tho
troopers explained that they were look
Ing for two escaped conyicts and would
nave to look into the tonneau of the car.
Stiyers and Bassett talked with the
troopers for some time, and politely
expressed the wish that the convicts
would be captured. Then they said
gcodby to the officers and drove away.
They were not recognized, although they
wore their prison trousers with stolen.
Ill fitting coats and no shirts at all.
AS the convicts were being taken TO
cells in Concord one Of the Sing Sing
seepers remarked to Warden Lawes that

prisons several times, would probably
try II again some day. Bassett turned
with a grin.
II wouldn't be surprised" he said.

Come in, Ann! Look around

AIMS eyes grew a little rounder
as she regarded us. Sometimes
there's an appeal about Arn-she's
just such a conf1ding little child
that one feels bound to keen her
happy at any cost to oneself.
/ suppose Jim will always feel
bound to keep her happy. And
Deb, just because she Is strong. will
always have to be a martyr. SO far
in AIMS married life, there has
been no reason for her to give up
anything. But 1t occurred to me as

the proposition, such as the hand
ling OF an enormous office building,
tho simpler, the more dignified and
pleasant the handling. To rent
three rooms and bath, that is the
difficult thing-there you contend
with the nervous housewife. who
worries about the electric lights, and
the steam heat, and the matter of
hot and cold water, whereas in the
bigger business, all you do is to get
the two principals together-land
and office-holder."
Connected with Miss Force in her
real estate office are Miss l.. A.
Morse, who was with the Red Cross
during the war; Miss Mary Tolstoy,
who was a nurse, and Julie Lentil-
hon. who served on many war work
committees. Miss Force : herself

Interior Decoration
81 think women especially fitted
for this line of work. says Miss
Force, because they Lave more
taste than men in the matter Of
interior decoration. A man does
not think about sunlight in the
kitchen, or the color of the wall
paper. He has no patience with
the matching Of doorknobs and
baseboards. He does not take into
consideration the effect of night
lights in a house, or that the colors
must inevitably change for better
or for worse. He just sees so many
rooms, in such and such a locality,
and it's renting value.
My only advice to women is:
Know your job hrst-don't think a
smattering of learning on the sub
ject is going to pull you through,
because it isn't. Don't think that a
business will be a business unless
you put everything that's in you in
to it. A college education is not
necessary, but it does not hinder
and above all things, go about what
ever you do with fire, ability and
an energy that is always, if rightly
directed, a culture in itself"

sions better than anything else. and
II pleased me hugely to think that
ne never can share any mental Joy
with Katherine.
After I had said goodby to some
OF my guests"Jim took the Palmers

That gentleman was not particular
ly interested in the intellectual life,
l perceived. He was escorting Ann
into the box labyrinth. Evidently 1
wasn't going to faunt my platonian
conquest in my husbands face that
day. 1 felt 50 relieved that I hum
med a little tune. It's easy for a
married woman to plan all sorts of
sentimental revenges. but, as a rule,
it's impossible for her to find cour-
age to carry them out.
"Oh, la Ia" 1 sighed. such a
sad mixup! Thinking Of Deb, I've
forgotten about Ted's rights. He's
the one in need of en- antidote for
l~ove-poison. Why should all three
persons in a love triangle be I'M
happy?' I asked myself. There's
none too much Joy in this world,
and IL two can be happy, at the cost
of the misery of one, why, 1t seems
to me-
On the other side of the hedge
rose Katherine's lovely c~ontraito
laugh. We'll, I'll never be a sacri-
nee for that girl" / concluded.
Across the lawn came Ted's even
tones. Why should that nice boy
be the victim of unrequited passion?
There was no cur for him. no hap
piness, except in Deborah Burns
love.
From the labyrinth came AIMS
bird tones. Jim would never let
anything hurt that child. No mat
ter what he might suffer, in a tri-
angle, he would save little AIMS
feelings.
All the weak ones seemed happy
to me, and destined to remain so.
But the strong-all Of them-were
miserable.
