for granted that she must once have
been a sinner
She told about her wedding jour
ney to Paris. She was a little ex-
hilarated, quite respectfully, with the
champagne and her own happiness
when her husband suggested that
they both write their names on the
mirror in their supper room with
the edge Of the diamond which he
had given her that afternoon.
".When we come back some day to
the Cafe d'Anglais, it will interest US
to find our names together within
this heart. Especially if we are old.
He said this very tenderly. I lost
him too soon, dear NJ. de Par

Nine. Casterax. But above all
things, don't noise it around here
that, in my youth, l wrote on the
mirrors of restaurants in Paris
Amused by his solemn promise to
keep her secret as faithfully as if
he were a father confessor, she re-
marked to him, as she left the
house,
Il shouldn't have said anything
about this if | hadn't seen you in
the mirror when you were on the
porch. Since you had caught me
throwing a kiss to my youth, it was
better, wasn't it, to explain things?'
That insistence, the feverish hand
which trembled in his own, put M
de Parlines to rout. He believed that
/ Nine. Casterax was telling him the
absolute truth. Afterward he
wasn't so sure. She was gone. He
/ tried to recall a Clotilde. He was
filled with doubt. With the enthusi

mon him, NJ. de Parlines thought he
saw the good lady in rapt contem-
plation before the mirror from the
famous Room 16. This day, by some
odd chance, he had mounted the
front steps instead of entering the
house from the rear.
AS he was about to open the front
door he glanced through the window
and caught a glimpse of Nine. Cas-
terax's back and of the image of her
face in the glass-a smiling image,
very different from that which he
was expecting to greet with his
usual neighborly good will. That
image seemed to come to meet him
from the far-off past, from that
fabulous country which was his
youth. Was it possible that Nine.

wound in the mirror, near the bevel-

the adventures which his favo-
rite hero, Allan Quatermain,
could possibly have in one lifetime Mr.
H. Rider Haggard, in "The Ancient

previous life on earth, which was quite
as sensational as anything in the pages

of the books with which the name of
Allan Quatermain is inseparably con-

1t all comes about because Allan
smokes a magic weed which has the
power of taking those tasting il back
to previous existence on earth. After
few whiffs Allan finds himself in a
kingdom somewhere to the east of
Egypt, whittier he (or, rather, his pre-

terrific shindy, out Of which Shabaka's
legions emerge victorious. and Sha-

killing with his own hands the thor
oughly unattractive monarch. Sha-
baka's lady love, a princess who had
been toying with the idea of abjuring
the world and becoming a priestess of
Isis, suddenly gets sociable again and
falls blissfully into the hero's arms.
Whereupon Allan Quatermain wakes
up to find himself back in the present
day. Beside him is The highly up-to-
date English widow lady who has per-
suaded him to smoke the weed. Do
they marry? That is Mr.. Haggard's

ries. The mirror remained, scratched
over with inscriptions and dishg-
ured by a star-shaped confusion IN
the lower left hand corner which
certainly had a history of its own.
The amiable old man tried in vain
to recall that history. Failing, he
substituted various frolics talked
about in his Partisan days. Once
year, at least, he used to tell some
sympathetic visitor about the scenes
and personages that the mirror had
reflected.
He had never dropped hint Of

occasionally dropped in on M. de
Parines to tell him about her needs.
She had a gentle and charming
manner, beneath which there were
flashes now and then of sprightli-
ness and ardor not yet wholly eXtin-
guished. Her late husband had been
stock raiser and horse dealer, a
rough grained man, known twenty
leagues around the country for his
headstrong will and many caprices.
The whole community paid his widow
tribute Of respect for having en-

EXPECT RADICAL -
TROUBLE MAY
American Legion Has information
Uprising Here is I'm.
rninent

New York Aprit 27.--The New York
County Committee of the American
Legion has received information
through various sources which indi-
Gates that there is about an even
chance for serious radical demonstra-
tions in New York on May l. This
was announced last night by Major
L.orillard Spencer, member of the
committee, who said that the pcoha
bility of disorder Is about fifty-hfty.
Major Spencer told the members OF
the committee, in session at the Hotel
Pennsylvania, that he had been in
formed the Reds had organized sixty
four Soviet committees in Manhattan
to take over the Government when
the revolution follows the disorders,
and that on the lists OF these commit
tees appeared the names OF some of
the most "respeced citizens CT the
community
I'VE must take some action on
this" said Major Spencer, unless we
don't believe in the American form of
government. If that is so we do not
need the legion.
AS soNl as Major Spencer had told
of the information he had received
the committee adopted the report of
the Committee on Americanizaton
recommending the enlistment OF vol.
unteers and the organization of legion
members to act in cases of disorder in
connection with strikes of revolu
tionary nature, The legion members,
under the terms of the report, may be
called only if the emergency is caus.
ed by radicals and a strike without
just cause.
The delegate of Tiger Post of the
Legion announced it had prepared a
list of legion volunteers for this pur.
pose more than six months ago and
submitted it to Lieut. Gen. Bu'iard at
Governors Island for cooperation with
the army authorities in the event OF
| trouble.
I All of the speakers and members Of
the Americanization committee made
II plain that the men Of the legion
would not act as strikebreakers and
would not enter into any controversy
between capital and labor.
