AT THE VILLA ROSE
A Thrilling Detective Story by A. E. w. MASON

Celie. But you should have seen her!l
She had on a little plaid skirt and a
coat which was falling to pieces, and
she was starving-yes,, starving.
Madame told me the story that night
as I undfessed her. Mile. Celie was
there dancing amidst the tables for a
supper with anyone who would be
kind enough to dance with her,"
The scorn Of her voice rang
through the ROOM. She was the rigid,
respectable peasant woman, speak
ing out her contempt. And Wether-
nAll must needs listen to it. Ricardo
dared not glance at him.
but hardly anyone would dance
with her in her rags, and no one
would give her supper except maj
dame. Madame did. Madame list
ened to her story of hunger and dis
tress. Madame believed it, and
brought her home. Madame was so
kind, so careless in her kindness.
And now she lies murdered for a re-
wardn!' A. hysterical sob checked the
woman's utterances; her face began
to work, her hands to witch.
Calm Yourself"
Come, comet" said Hanaud gem

Helene vauquier paused for a
moment or two to recover her COM

madame-oh, the poor woman! Yes
yes, I will calm myself. Well
madame brought her home. and in a
week there was nothing toe good for
Mile. Celie. Madame was like a child
Always she was deceived and imposed
upon. Never she learnt prudence
But no one so quickly made her way

Mademoiselle must live with her

TowlgIEY A GUTTER.
LANCER says that Townley Is a gutter. He says that
the league boss became angry during q debate at Nc
Intosh, and abandoned the meeting in q huff right in the
middle OF the proceedings. and that subsequently he failed
to keep several other debate engagements which had been
gasenents and will have nothing more to do with
Townley. e
' Presumably Mr.. LANCER was not surprised when
Townley exhibited himself in this manner. He has been
pretty well acquainted with Townley in the past, and has
seen him perform on numerous occasions. hence he was
probably prepared for what happened.
There arc others, not quite 50 familiar with the man.
acter. The fact is that In behaving az he did at Mcintosh
Townley ran true to, form. and did what those who are
familiar with him expect him to do when the notion takes
him. i4EE S& E t
Usually the meetings. which he, has addressed have been
his own. They have been called by himself or his asso-
ciates. and he has been In complete charge Of the pro-
ceedings form start to finish. Naturally a man is at
liberty to do about as he likes at his own meeting. II
persons in the audience do not like what he says they are
enter into debate with the man who has called the meet
ing, and hired the hall, and made himself superintendent
Of the proceedings. Therefore, at the Townley meetings.
Townley has usually had things his own way.
But Townley in another mans meeting, or Towniey
at a meeting where others have equal rights to the floor
with himself, is In q different situation. Townley will at
tend. unlimited, a meeting called by others, will demand
to be. heard, will assume direction Of the meeting, and, II
the thing does not go to suit him, he will fly into a pas
sion and walk out, inviting others to 80 with him. He
has done this time after time, taking possession, iffpos-
hble, OF a meeting where he had no rights. and, If UNI
able to do this. breaking it UP II he could. And on the
rare OCCASIONS, when he has started to participate with
others on an equal basis in the conduct of a meeting, he
has insisted on turning the gathering, into a Townley af-
fair. or he has taken his dolls and gone home.

FIRST WIRELESS ALARM
OF FIRE PROVES FALSE

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Wireless
telegraphy was used for the first time
here yesterday for summoning fire
men to combat flames, and it proved
be a false alarm.
The crew of the police boat John #.

saw what appeared to be a serious
fire on the Manhattan shore near Six
tieth street and wireless dispatch
sent to police headquarters resulted in
three engines, two hook and ladder
trucks and fire boats rushing to the
scene. The firemen found, however,
the supposed conflagration was u
series OF bonfires kindled in some
large garages under construction, the
purpose being to dry the walls.

One Of the best-known deans at

confided to a member Of the faculty
yesterday. The dean was handed a
copy Of the publication and was asked
for an opinion of 1t. He looked il
over thoroughly. smiled at some of
the "snappy" pictures, laughed aloud
at one or two Of the jokes, and then
announced:
Clever, isn't it? I don't see any

One of the members of the faculty

president Hodgkins against the charge,
made by some OF the students, that
he is a prude.
"Hodgkins is far from prude,"
said this faculty member. HE is
