leads the king of clubs. The way to
misplay the hand is to get out the
trumps by leading the king from
dummy and then two more rounds
The next thing is to start the wrong
suit, leading a heart instead of club.
This allows the adversares to force
out both the long trumps and make
three hearts and two clubs, holding
down to the odd trick, which sets his
contract, if he has gone to two or more
spades, over AS clubs.
If 2 starts the diamonds after get

better, but he cannot reach game, as
both king and queen make against
him, and the two hearts

haunted by the stories Of brigands
which Adele had told nights before,
my eyes alert, my heart pitapat-
ing and my soul ravished and
trembling with expectation.
The most terrifying thing was to
pass the fence before Pere Veru's
house. He had there, in shed,
collection Of farm implements
which took on a most threa atening
appearance either in the dark or in
the full of the moon. A little further
on one entered the narrow, winding
street in which Adele's little house
was situated, next door to the meet
ing place. This street was alwavs
black because of the big trees of a
chateau garden adjoining it. In
tho autumn these trees shed their
leaves across the wall, deadening
ones footsteps and making the
silence still more terrifying.
Without daring to turn my head
stole a glance, In passing, at
Adele's house, where l saw her hus-
band, the weaver, working his shut
tie by the light Of tiny lamp.
The room had an air of mystery
with tho skeleton-like outline of the
weaving apparatus, the little click
Ing OF the machinery, the agitation
of the threads and the moving
shadow of the attentive workman.
In the daytime this was all SIM
pie and natural enough. But at
night it was very uncanny. So |

my hand on the neighbor's latch.
There one came back again into
life. From the door side one could
make out familiar figures, in spite
OF the shadows of the bigrroom.
There were four or five of the neigh.

big chair.
The backs were all deep in the
shadow, but the faces, turned to-
ward the fire, were bright and re-
assuring. To my Good evening.

cheering Good EVENING"" while thew
pushed back their chairs a little
without getting up. Then the con-
versatlon was resumed, punctuated
by the laughter of the children. The
mothers knitted as they talked.
But that didn't interest me, and
If | didn't see Adele crouching in
the corner, poking the fire with the
long tongs. 1 was disappointed and
presently became bored. So were
the others, and one by ono thew
went away, saying:
"she will not come tonight"
She? That was Adele.
Fortunately she seldom failed ",
But you could never hear her
enter. You became aware Of her
presence only through her little
cough, which she gave when she
pulled off the flap of the black skirt
which she had thrown about hor
head.
We all turned toward the black
apparition, crying:
"Ah! All! You frightened us!"
She made no answer. Clearinc
her throat, she advanced SLOWLY to
her customary place in the big chair
which Boquette always yielded to
her, as mark of Difference.
There was a deep silence-the
little ones already eager to hear her
begin, the elders no longer inter
ested in their conversation.
She wasn't in hurry. She took

And presently the charm operated.
The wonderful fairy, Fantasy, car
ried US away into the clouds.
We breathed hard as we followed
her through ten caverns, each more
horrible than the other, full of rep
tiles, scorpions, toads and monstrous
worms.
These worms especially frightened
me. l pictured them as enormous
wood lice, a hundred times as big
as those which l found under the
stones in our cellar, and vicious.

Nothing ever scared me so much
as these non-existent monsters, the
product of my ignorance and imagi-
nation.
Sometimes I thought saw them
in the spiraling yellow smoke which
mounted into the chimney, after
having licked the pot hangers, pro-
truding like blackened teeth. l also
heard them wriggling in the peat
bucket and in the tongs rack.
That gave me exquisite emotions.
And / ask myself to-day, after so
many years, who had taught Adele
that storytelling art which held US
for hours, big and little, breathless
around the fireplace?
Where had she learned those mas
terly pauses, those brusque inter-
ruptions in her tale which left US
suspended with it at the most excit-
ing moment?
She was absolutely ignorant of
the art of the theater, which calcu-
lates its effect. With her, on the
contrary, everything was simple.

the walls and resting her hand on
them from time to time
How tall she seemed to US when
she appeared in her doorway, stoop-
ing low to make her exit. She al
ways closed the door slowly and cir
cumspectly. Then, having put tho
key in her pocket, she had way
of spreading the folds Of her woolen
kerchief, giving herself the air of a
colossal bat unfolding its wings.
How tall she seemed to us chill
dren. I still have the feeling that
if she had Strengthened up she
would have put to flight the bravest
of the urchins whom her presence
attracted in spite of their fears.
Strange contradictions Of child
hood! We never met Adele without
feeling our hearts beat fast and our
chests contract Yet we always
liked to meet her.
Although she never responded to
my greeting-or anybody else's-I
always lifted my hat to her with
the liveliest gratitude, for she had
been the first to make me ride
witches broomsticks and the wild
horses of the night.
On winter evenings the house of

Obregon's Men Bring New Life to Mexico City

antl-mliltarlSm, loudly as he may
proclaim himself "citizen Obregon,"
but from sensitive vanity and
sense of humor. There are so many
generals in Mexico!
A Heavy Task
1t is an appalling task that con-
fronts the Obregonistas. There is
no money. There is no confidence.
And there is debt. The country has
been utterly disorgani2ed and de-
moraized by ten years of banditry.
1t swarms with it's various revolu-
tionary leaders, each little ,jefe with
little army and big ambition of
his own.
The soldiers do not fight for 3
cause, they fight for chief. He
gives them horses, guns, frijoles
and little money. And what he
says they do.
1t is these jefes, all nursing
private hatreds and ambitions, that
Obregon must either destroy or
bring into line, either being a diff
cult task. He cannot destroy the
big ones because they control the
army on which he must depend. He
can't destroy the little ones because
they work too far back in the sierra
And if he brings them all in limo
to-day that gives him no security
for tomorrow.

silver and black trimmings; a saddle
Of pure white leather, delicate as a
lady's glove, inlaid with gold and
silver and something cleaning like
midnight blue; brilliant red
blanket.
A row of four or five jefes like
this, but each different, each dis
tinct and individual, preceded by ten
or twelve mounted trumpeters, rath-
er shabby, but footing magnificently,
and followed by the rank and file
of his particular private and per-
sonal elementos, several hundred or
several thousand men-on horse or
on foot. The Yaquis, with the red
cotton bands around their battered,
Texan-looking hats, the red cotton
sash around the waist; the men
from the South in soiled white cot
ton, wearing the big, wide hats of
straw, their bare feet thonged into
crude sandals; small, poverty strick-
en- looking soldiers, weighted down
with belts of cartridges of varying
caliber-tough as the straggly bron-
cos they mount.

Two Investigations Refused
Two investigations which the Legis-
lature was asked to make but refused
were:
The charges Of the New York State
League for Women Voters that Mark A.
Daily, the Buffalo lobbyist; Speaker
Sweet and Senator Clayton R. Lusk
were behind movement to stif1e free
speech and silence public opinion.
The charges that Mark DAILY supplied
the Assembly with liquor on the night
it ousted the Socialists, and that some
Assemblymen were helplessly drunk.
One of Speaker Sweets Tammany lieu
tenants, Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier,
introduced resolution providing for an
investigation of the City OF New York.
In this resolution Cuvillier charged that
corruption existed in the police and
