Yesterday a Negro was emptying a

made guess. which afterward was con-
huncd as truth The boy sent by Mar
guerite had been discovered in his boat,
had been taken 10 the guard-house, and
had given such answers as led TO the
suspicion that he was waiting to aid the
fight of some one. The captain OF the
Guard, thinking so to catch the person
for whom the boatman waited. had sent
two bodies of men out, one to occupy
the spot near which the boy had been
found, the other to patrol the river
bank in search of questionable persons;
had arrived on the quay in the interval
between the boys capture and the ar
rival of the guards.
My first intention was to reach the
left bank and proceed to the Abbey OF
st. Genevieve. But it occurred to me
that, although boat could not pass
down the river, out of Paris, at night,
because of the chain stretched across
the rver from the Tour du Coin to the
Tour de Nosle, vet a swimmer might
pass under or over that chain and
thea make, through the faubourg out
side the walls, for the open country.
Neither Marguerite nor ] had thought
of this WAY of leaving Paris, because OF
the seeming impossibility of n mans
surviving a swim through the icy Seine,
and fight in wet clothes through the
February night. Moreover, there was
the necessity of leaving my sword be-
hind, and the danger of being seen by
the men on guard at the towers on either
side of the river. But now that necessity
had driven me into the river, chose the
shorter route to freedom, and swan

Why is "Jag- Synonym for

Copyright 1920 by
Wheeler Syndic & te. Inc.

Since the adoption of the Eighteenth
Amendment. the use of the slang word
jag" as a synonmy for state of in
toxica ton belongs properly TO the
dead Ianguage - at least in theory
but its demise was so recent as to
make it's derivation of interest if only
as a study in the growth of slang
casselPs Encyclopedia admits that the
etymology of the word is doubtful,
but defines it as small load, as of
hay, grain or straw" while Stormonth
throws additional light upon the sub
ject by declaring that jag in Gaelic
means a nodding of the head or the
sort of figures traced out by the
tremulous irregular movement of
bodies" adding that "jaggery" was
the Indian name for a kind of coarse
