tiected in amendments proposed to-
day for the constitution.
Aid World Peace.
An amendment to aud to the clubs
objects, 1.-The aid and advancement
of international peace and good will

An amendment proposed by the

him like bullet. And then: "As I
told you in the beginning. we won't
go into any phase Of 1t that involves
Mrs. Collingwood. Get back into your
own boat. Are you trying to tell me
now that Hatch Is threatening you"
"He's played me for a come-On. He
says he's got the whole business down
in black and white, with afndavits,
and all that. He had the nerve to
tell me less than an hour ago that
he'd hurn me alive If 1 didn't toe the
mark"
"What does he want you to dot"
HE wants me to stick around. here
SO that he can use me against you.
He knows how you're mixed up with
Sheila and that you can't turn q wheel
without making 1t look as IL you were
going after me on your own personal
account"
There was silence for a little time.
It was an awful muddle, with bloody
murder sticking out Of 1t on every side.
If you have come here with the
idea that can force Hatch's hand. you
are very much misled," said the boss
at the close of the electric pause. And
then: "Has he made 1t appear to you
that he was merely trying to help you
avenge your own fancied wrongs?"
HE said l ought to get you; that
any man who would make love to a
married woman ought to be got"
My chief was looking past the der

Mr.. NOrcrOss took his own chair and

''That's all bunk, and you know It,"

that railroad the size of the Short

Mr.. Van Britt laughed little at

"You are merely turning handsprings
