was th0ughtfully remembered on his
name-day, the Feast of st. Bonaven-
ture, by the Holy Father, who pre-
scented to the distinguished prelate a

Croatian Schools CIosed.-A dis
patch from Agrain, Kipa, states that
all the schools in Croatia have been
taken over by the government. The
governments decree applies to ele-
mentary schools, high schools and
gymnasiums. Unfortunately, the gov
ernment's action sounds the death
knell of the religious schools, which
were quite prosperous.
St. SuIpce Makes New Record
The seminary Of st. Sulpice, in Paris,
during its last session had 376 stu
dents, the greatest number in the his
tory of that institution. Eighty can
dldates for the priesthood were from
Paris. Included among the students
were 6S former officers, who served
as engineers and doctors during the
war. In the preparatory seminary
there are now many students of ma
ture ages, who gave up profitable posi-
lions in the world to prepare them
selves for the priesthood.
Capuchins Have Fine War Record.

the foundress of the Sisters of Char

their works of mercy, even in the
most difficult and distressing circum

traitors shot at Vincennes, France re-
Gently, one was woman, and while
the others were accompanied to the
stake, and upheld in their last mo-

was performed for the unfortunate
woman by two Sisters of Charity of

CHAPTER TX

A prisoner in police station cell, !
passed slcepless night. Conscious
| as ! was Of my utter innocence and
| confident of my speedy release, never
theleSS l had to admit that the de-
tectivcS from their point of view were
perfectly justified in placing me un-
der arrest.
For a burglar to have gained access
to the apartments without the conniv-
ance of the employees seemed almost
an imposSlbility. For him to have
escaped from the building after hav-
ing murdered Miss Lutan without be-
Ing detected seemed also highly i'm
probable. Then, too, there was the
damning evidence of the blood on my
coat and the fact that / had been
found at the door of the apartment. l
had not observed the stain on my
clothing until the detectives discov-
cred it. My explanation of how it had
gotten there was the true one, yet l
could readily realize that 1t might
sound iishy to others.
On the face of 1t the tragedy in
the Granddeck looked like an inside
job. The revolver, with one bullet
missing, was the strongest sort of evil
dence that | was the murderer. Yet
! never had seen the weapon before
and could not imagine who could have
placed it there. There was only one
explanation possible. 1t had been pur.
posely planted there with the definite
object Of throwing suspicion on me.
The one person--the only person.
whom / knew to have been in nv
rooms after the murder was committed
was Claire Bradford. Could she have
done it? I remembered that Barbara
had showed me revolver In her pos
session. l wondered If this could be
the same weapon. did not think 1t
possible that Claire herself could have
used II. could imagine no motive
why Claire Bradford would want to
kill Miss lutan. yet 1t must have been
she who had hidden the revolver in my
dresser. What had been her motive?
How had She got possession Of the re.
vOlvcr after the murder?
Come what may, | had no intention
Of telling any Onc-not even German
of Clairc's second visit to my apart
mcnt For Barbaras sake I made up
my mind | would keep my lips closed
about that incident, even II / had to
stay in prison Indefinitely. At the DO.
lice station when the detectives had
brought me In, had quietly but firmly
refused 10 answer any questions al.
though they had badgered me for near
ly two hours before they let me alone.
"Wherr did you live before you
came TO The Granddcck?
"Whcrc did you work?'
"Whcre is Rufus GaSton2"
"Whcrc do your people livew
"Why did you kill Daisy LutanT
"Whore did you get the money you
hayc?"
We've got the goods on you. Why
don't you cOnfeSsT
These we're the sort of questions
that wrr" flung ut me. first by one and
then the other. Evidently at first
they had had hopes Of breaking me
down.
