we've got the confession of the man
that sawed the boom for him."
Brousseau swung ON his heel sud-
denly and strobe toward the door. He
turned and shook his fist at LATE. 'T'll
pay you for this, you and that other
blackmailer!" he swore. 'Tll smash
your rotten concern. TIL
He broke off with derisive snort
and made toward the entrance. But
LATE strobe past him and blocked his
way.

Brousseau tried to fling himself

sentinel, completely filed the open

he ended defiantly.
Madeleine came forward quietly.
''You can go, Mr. Connell,' she said in
a voice vibrant with restrained anger.
'We do not permit Monsieur Brous-
seau to be insulted, here or anywhere.
Your conduct is intolerable. Leave in
stantly, and if you have anything to
say to him in accusation say it when
he has not woman and a sick man

Lafe flushed. And you amt in it

"What got to say say to Mr.. Rosny.
I come here TO say it and I'll go when
I said it"
"Oh, let him speak," snarled Brous-
seau. monsieur Askew is afraid to
come here with his lies, so he has sent

Madeleine's eyes flashed. 'sThis is

That's all, 1 guess" said LATE, and
opened the door.
Brousseau dashed through and along
the corridor. Lafe followed him at an
interval; but Brousseau did not wait
for him. He pulled the front door
open and slammed it behind him.

"But he didn't send me here. He's

sibly it was in the stables now. He
rang the bell, nodded to Robitaille,
who opened the door, disregarded his
fncomprehensible address, which
seemed to negative Lafe's wish to en-
ter, and went by instinct into the liv-
ing room at the end of the hall for the
first time in his life.
He tapped at the door, but there
came no answer. He knocked more
loudly, and went in without waiting
for any. He discovered the Seigneur
in big leather chair before the huge,
glowing fire, Madeleine standing be-
side him and Edouard Brousseau a
short distance away. There was an
atmosphere OF immediate constraint.

but he did not care. He could hardly

Brousseau there badly, but he had not

Brousseau was the first to speak.
He may have guessed the nature of
Lafe's errand from Lafe's attitude,
though not it's fullness. He scowled.

in sneering tone to Monsieur Rosny.
Madeleine raised her eyes and LATE
read in them the same intuition that
was in Brousseau's, and also her chal-

Here are some more things.
Which every woman would like to
know!
She would like to know
How a man can laugh at womens
clothes. after he has caught glimpse
Of himself in the mirror.
Why man assumes that all angels
are blondes, and that therefore all
blondes must be angels-unless he
happens to be married to one.
Why a man calls it news" when he
tells something, and gossip when
woman tells it.
Why a man thinks that it is neces-
sary to use only one brain-cell in con-
versing with his wife.
Why a man spends half his life in
thinking up alibis to escape doing
things, and the other half in hunting
UP things for woman to do.
Why even a divorced husband lends
a woman a mysterious fascination, in
the eyes of man, that no spinster
can ever hope to attain.
Why the feminine qualities with
which a man falls in love no more
resembles those which he wants in a
wife, than a jazz-tune resembles the
doxology.
Why every married man constitutes
himself detective" and pounces
upon a forgotten piece of cheese in
he ice-box as prima facie evidence"
of his wife's attempt to impOverish
| him.
Why a scintillating remark from the
| lips of pretty girl always strikes a
! man dumb with pain and astonish
ment.
Why all the successful and brainy
men marry chorus-girls, telephone
operators, and manicurists, while bril-
liant women always draw blanks or
seconds.
Why a man insists on making his
wife dress so "senSibly" that no other
man will look at her-and then begins
to wonder what he saw in her.
| Why a man always assumes that
"stained-glass" attitude, when he has
| decided to give up" something that
he doesn't want or is tired of.
! How a mans heart can spring right
back into working conditions, so soon
after it has been "crushed.'
Why a man never begins to find
| fault with a woman, until she decides
! to go into the kitchen and cook fol-
him.
! Why a man will cheerfully break
the Sabbath, but regards the act Of
stretching" after the seventh inning
as sacred rite.
| Why is baseball? Why is derby
| hat? Why is a bachelor?
| Why a man seldom begins to dream
! of the Ideal Woman" until he has
been married to a real one for a few
| long years.
Why a man doesn't want his photo
graph to f1atter him.
| Why men are so interesting-and in
disDensible.
Why life is SO dull without them!

Mrs. Solomon Says
Being The Confessions Of Tho
Seven-Hundreth Wife.
BY Helen Rowland
Copyright. 1920, by The Wheeler
Syndicate. IncD

My daughter, the cynic hath said,
in his heart, "Why do men marry?'
But the answer is simpler than a
Monday dinner, and palmer than
henna on the hair.
Now, in Babylon there dwelt a
prince who had reached the marry
ing mood and sought wife.
And the wise men brought him the
fCiIr fairest damsels in all the land
for his selection.
And the first damsel sought to daz-
zle him with her beauty.
10, she Amounted herself with
spikenard and myrrh, and made her
s6lf fairer with kole and with henna
and curling tongs and jewels and
spangled gauze.
And the eyes of the prince were
blinded with her loveliness; and when
she departed he smoked long and
dreamily and could not tear his
thoughts from her for full five min
utes.
And the second damsel sought to
fascinate him with her wit.
And. 10, when he spake, she an
swered him with epigrams and with
ouips, and the prince laughed might
lily and was amused. And for a full
half hour he continued to think OF
her.
And the third damsel sought to lure
him with her domestic charm and to
enchain him with home comforts.
Yea, she brought a scented cushion
for his head and a velvet foot-stool
for his feet, and lit his pipe with her
own hands.
And the prince was almost per
suaded and begged her not to depart
But the wise men led her away
and brought the fourth damsel be
fore him.
And when she had looked upon his
face, the fourth damsel raised up her
hands and fell down at his feet, cry
ing:
ooh, Prince, what a lucky woman
am |, that l should per permitted to
gaze upon thee and to listen unto
thee,
How beautiful are thy locks OF
spun gold, and thy beard is more
dazzling than sunset!
"How brilliant are thy jokes, and
how wise are thy judgments.
How broad are they shoulders, how
admirable thy strength and how won
derful thy golf score'
Surely, surely, thou art a poet, g
philosopher, and a mighty warrior
and | am a fortunate woman even tC
behold thee"
And the young prince smiled and
addressed her, saying:
Arise. woman. and go deck thy
self for thy wedding. For thou shall
have as bridesmaids and diamond
sunburst!

Indianapolis Negro Confesses
the Murder of Assaulted Girl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April o.
William Ray, 10 year old negro, ar
rested last night in connection with
the murder last Monday of Martha
Huff, aged IA, made a written confes-
sion of the crime early today, accord
ing to a statement at police headquar-
ters. Tie alleged confession was wit
messed by four policemen. In the
statement, Ray. according to the
police, traced his movements from the
time he is said to have enticed the
girl from home by promising her new
clothes until after he had thrown her
body, stripped of clothing into Eagle
Greek, at the western end of the city.
Ray denied that he assaulted the girl
the police said, but admitted he had
stabbed her in the neck with pocket
knife, when she fought off his at
tempt to embrace her and screamed.
A knife with a bloody blade was found
in his possession. The alleged con-
fession was written after step-sister
of thes lain girl had identified Ray az
the negro with whom the Huff girl
had eft home. Ray came TO Indian
apolis from Chicago three weeks ago.

The premers indicated, he declares
that in their view the presence of the
