for his partner, saying that as
there was little pressing business
that week he had decided to Loaf

The truth was that Henry Lane
had motored to Farnham on Sun
day and Monday morning he was
seen in that sleepy, old.fashioned
community, dressed in clothes that
did not distinguish him from any
country loafer. He found an ex-

wine. and he would be asleep and
powerless-it had already tugged at
him. With the help Of his cOnfreres
in he tavern, Dyck could be carried
out, put on a lugger and sent away
to France.
There was nothing else to do. Boyne
had said truly that the French fleet
meant TO come Don Dyck must not
be able to give the thing away before
1t happened. Already the wine had
played havoc with him already stupe-
faction was coming owe his senses.
With a good-natured, r1ba]d laugh,
Boyne poured out another glass OF
marsala and pushed 1t gently over to
Dyck's fingers.
"My gin to your marsala," he said,
and he raised his own glass OF gin,
looking playfully we the top to Dyck.
With q sudden %loOsening Of all the
fbres of his nature, Dyck raised the
glass Of marsala to his lips and drained
IT off almost at a gulp.
you're a prodigious liar, Boyne,"
he said. 81 didn't think any n could
lie so completely"
"Tll teach you how, Calhoun. It's
not hard. I'll teach you how"
He passed a long cigar over the ia
BILE to Dyck, who, however, did not
light 1t, but held it in his fingers.
Boyne struck a light and held it out
across the small table. Dyck leaned
forward, tut, as he did so, the wine
took possession of his senses. His
head fell forward in sleep, and the
cigar dropped from his fingers.
"Ah, well-ah, we'll, we must do
some business now" remarked Boyne.
He leaned over Dyok for a moment.
Eyes, sound asleep" he said, and
laughed scornfully to himself. "Well,
when it's dark we must get him away.
He'll sleep for four or five hours and
by that time he'll be out on the way
to France. and the rest is easy"
He was about to go out to the door
that led into the business part Of the
house, when the door leading into the
street opened softly, and a woman
stepped inside. She had used the key
which Boyne had forgotten at his
house.
At first he did not hear her. Then,
when he did turn round, it was too
late. The knife she carried under her
skirt flashed out and into BOyne's
heart. He collapsed on the floor with.
out a sound, ave only a deep sigh.
STOPPING over, Noreen drew the
knife out with a little gurgling cry
a smothered exclamation. Then she
opened the door again-the side-door

HEAR BETTER NOW
In BOARD ROOM

workmen engaged in improving
the acoustic properties of the as
sembly room of the Board of Edu-
cation, in the Public Building. have
about finished their work and there
is a very noticeable change. The
materials for this work have been
secured from the Mazer Acoustic
Company. OF Philadelphia, and one
man was sent here to assist the To-
cal workmen in making the neces-
sary alterations.
As soon as this work is finished
the Public Building Commission is
planning to correct the acoustics Of
City Council chamber. which are
probably the worst in the city. Vari-
Gus attempts have been made with
this room but so far the acoustics
have not been corrected. At one
time the chamber was draped with
flags, then a large section of glass
overlooking the rotunda was re-
moved. The glass is TO be replaced
and changes made similar to those
made in the Board of Public Educa-
ton assembly room.
The Board of Public Education
is also arranging for the correction
of the acoustics OF the assembly
room at the High School in the near
future. using the same methods
adopted in the assembly room in the
Public Building.

"Conshtution Day"
and What 1t Means

When a nation has the means OF
solving all its problems within itself
and does not use them. the opinion
is Justified that there IS something
wrong somewhere.
On the seventeenth day OF Sep
tember. 1897. there was adopted
by the Constitutional Convention
our original Constitution, which
consisted OF a preamble and seven
articles. Later this Constitution
was adopted by the legislatures OF
the various States that united 10
form our nalon.
Until the latest amendments or
articles. as they are properly called,
we're adopted, this Constitution
seemed TO be a thing that every
American citizen was supposed to be
familiar with.
In reality. It was and is the ex-
ceptionsl American who has even
a bowing acquaintance with the Con-
siitution.
This condition of affairs was re-
vealed when the National Security
League attempted TO make a survey
OF the way the Constitution was
being taught in the public schools
OF the country and learned that it
was most inadequately handled or
not taught. at all. This League
which is composed OF patriotic men
and women in all walks of life and
which numbers among its members
the presidents OF important uni
versities OF America and many other
leading educators of the country,
as the first step toward making
the Constitution a living document,
initiated a movement for the cele-
bration of Constitution Day" each
seventeenth of September. Since
1919, Constitution Day" has been
observed in the public schools with
exercises.
The National Security League has
taken another step for Americaniza-
ton and is seeking to have the teach
ing Of the Constitution made manda-
tory in the public schools OF the
country. Already five State legisla-
lures have adopted laws which make
the teaching OF the Constitution a
part OF the school course. and spe-
cial committee of the League is
working TO have the legislatures of
all the States place such law on
the statute books. II Is only mat
ter Of a few years before this will be
done and the citizens Of the future
will know more about the rules OF
