@Io1i NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

adjoining the coroner's court, his
mind suddenly and with shock most
terrible made contact with the calami-
ty it had pursued.
In the mortuary -.
When he arrived and alighted from
his Gag he found a small crowd of
persons assembled about the yard of
the court. Someone said, ''There he
Isl" Someone said, "That's him!" A
kind Of threatening murmur went up
from the people What was the mat
ter? What were they looking at?
He seemed to be wedged among a
mass of dark and rather beastly
faces breathing close to his own. He
could not get on. He was being
pushed. lie was caused to stagger.
He said, Look out, I've got a game
leg" That threatening sort of muir
muir arose more loudly in answer to
his words. Someone somewhere
threw piece of orange peel at some
one. It almost hit his face. What
was up? What were they all doing?
At the door Of the court Sabre
looked across to where on the other
side of the yard some men were
shuffling out of a detached building
The coroner's officer said, Jury.
They've been viewing the corpse"
The man said, Eyes, perhaps you'd
better"
He was against glass screen,
misty with breaths of those who had
stared and peered through it. The
policeman wiped his sleeve across
the glass. "There you are.'
All, Now, suddenly and
with shock most terrible, his mind
made contact with that which it had
pursued. 1t had CROPPED as in a dark
room with outstretched hands. Now,
suddenly and with shock most ter
rible, it was as if those cropping hands
had touched in the darkness a face.
All, insupportable! This was Effie.
This was Bright Effie. This was that
jolly little Effie of the old, million
year-old days. This! This!
She lay on slab inclined towards
the glass. She was swathed about
in cerements, Only her face was
visible. Within the hollow of her
arm reposed a little shape, all
swathed. She had brought it into
the world. She had removed it from

it. She had brought a thousand
smiles into the world, but she had
given offense to the world and the
offended world had thrown back her
smiles and she now had expressed
her contrition to the world. This

getting off his preamble. Great big
pudding of chap, the coroner. Face
like three-parts debated football.
There was old Bright, the girls
father, smoldering like inside the
door of banked-up furnace. There
was Mr.. Iscariot 1wyning with his
face like stab-in the baek-and
his mouth on his face like a scar.
There was this solicitor chap next
him, with his hump, with hair like
"a name, and head like house, and
a mouth like cave. He'd a great
big red tongue, about a yard long,
like retriever's, and a great long
forefinger with about five joints in
it that he waggled when he was
cross-examining and shot out when
he was discriminating like the front
nine inches of sake.

CHAPTER "

Hapgood had said to his friend
of the effect on Sabre of Mabeps
action against him: He's crashed.
The roofs fallen in on him." And
kthat had been Sabre's own belief.
DBut it was not so. There are de-
grees of calamity. Dumbfounded,
stunned, aghast, Sabre would not
have believed that conspiracy against
him of all the powers of darkness
could conceivably worsen his plight.
They had shot their bolt. He was
stricken amain.
But they had not shot their bolt.
The roof had not yet fallen on him.
The timbers of the superstructure
had but bent and cracked and
groaned.
Their bolt was shot, the roof
crashed in, the four sides of his world
tottered and collapsed upon him,
with the words spoken to Sabre by
that man who approached and took
him aside while he stood to take
leave Of hapgood.
The man said, 81 daresay you
know me by sight, Mr.. Sabre. Pm
the coroner's officer at Tidborough.
You're rather wanted down there.
The fact is that young woman that's
been living with you's been found
dead"
Sabre's face took then the strange
and awful hue that Hapgood had
marked upon it.
Found dead? Found dead?
Where?"
an your house, Mr.. Sabre. And
her baby, dead with her."
Found dead? Found dead? Effie?
And her baby? Found dead? Oh, dear
God Catch hold of my arm a
minute. All right, let me go. Found
dead? What d'you mean, found
dead?"
There's to be an inquest tomor-
row. That's what you're wanted
for"
Inquest? Inquest?" Sabre's
speech was thick. He knew it was
tnlcK. his tongue felt enormously
too big for his mouth. He could not
control it properly. He felt that all
his limbs and members were swollen
and ponderous and out of his control.
Inquest? Found dead? Inquest?
Found dead? Goo God, can't you tell
me something's"
The man said, 81 say that's for the
coroner. And least you say best, sir,
it you understand me. Looks as if
the young woman took poison. Ok

The corOner's officer said, eYes,

The coroner looked at him. "Are
you legally represented?p
The coroner turned to examine
some papers. "That you may per-
haps discover" he remarked drily.
A man was seated not far from
the hunchback rose and bowed and
said, Il am watching the Interests of
Mrs. Sabre"
Sabre started. Mrs. Sabre! Mabel!

Hapgood said:

after that Brigton business, that the
man had crashed, that the roof had
fallen in on him? Ell, man, sitting
on his bed there at Brighton and glib
bering at me, Sabre was a whole man,
sane man; he was fortunate and
happy man, compared with this that
saw come at him down at Tidbor-
Dug yesterday.

was her contrition that she lay here
for men to breathe upon the glass,
and stare, and rub away the dimness
with their sleeves, and breathe, and
stare again.
Oh, indispensable calamity! Oh,
tragedy beyond support! He thought
OF her as oft and again he had seen
her-those laughing lips, those shin
ing eyes. He thought of her alone
when he had left her, planning and
preparing this frightful dissolution
of her body and hen soul. He thought
Of her in torment of inward fire by
that which had blistered her poor
lips.
A very terrible groan was broken
out of him.
They took him along.
The court was crammed. In two
thirds of its space were crowded
benches. At the upper end of the
room was dais, schoolmaster'
desk. Thanking it on one hand
were forms occupied by the men
Sabre had seen shuffling out of the
mortuary. On the other hand a
second dais stood Facing the cen
trail dais was a long table at
which men were seated on the side
looking towards the dais. Two men
sat also at the head of this table, fac
ing the jury. As Sabre entered they
were in deep conversation with a
stunted, hunchbacked man who sat
next them at the corner.
Every face in the reom turned to-
wards the door as Sabre entered.
They might have belonged to single
body and they appeared to have a
single expression and single
thought: dark and forbidding ex-
preston and a thought dark and
hostile. There was again that muir
muir that had greeted him when he
stepped from the cab. At the sight
of him one of the two men at the
head OF the table started to his feet.
A very big man, and with very big
and massive face and terrific eyes
who started up and raised clenched
fists and had his jaws working. Old
Bright. His companion at the head
of the table restrained him and drew
him down again. A tall, spare, dark
man with thin mouth in a deeply
lined face--Twyning.
"
From a door behind the central
dais large, stout man entered and
took his seat. Whispers about the
court said, Coroner" Someone
bawled "Silence."
The coroner fiddled with some pa
pers, but pince-nez on his nose and
stared about the court. He had a

BONDSMAN INSISTS
 LEADERS MUST QUIT
Man Whe Secured Liberty of Chicago 8 Big Three" Issues Ultimatum
 to Accused.

Chicago, May 29.-Thomas Carey, millionaire brick manufacturer, who obtained the release of Fred Nader, head of the buildinA trades council, and Big Tim Murphy, following their indictment in connection with Chicago bomb outrage and the slay- ing of two policemen, insisted today that the two labor leaders comply i'm mediately with their agreement to re- linQuish control of the council.
 Mr. Carey signed the bonds of Nader and Murphy on the sole con- dition that they would step out as leaders in the building trades. Big Tim" readily agreed to the conditions but Nader proved stubborn, asserting that the matter first should come up before the council next Friday.
 Nader gave me his promise to re- sign and assist in choosing his own successor" MT. Carey said before a conference with the two leaders. If he refuses now to abide by his prom ise, or if he allows the building trades council to re-elect him Friday, I'll sur render him to the sheriq and with draw myself as his surety"
 Con Shea, the other of the "big three leaders, was still in the county jail where he was taken nearly three weeks ago after the series of raids on the offices of the building trades coun- ell. Efforts to obtain Sheas release by writ of habeas corpus will be continued 1t was said.

FRANCE TO DECIDE
 HAGUE MEETING
Tomorrow Will See Decision, Prob- ably, To Either Attend Or Re-
 main Away From Session

Paris, May 29. - (By Associated Press) France will be rep resented at the coming conference at The Hague on Russian affairs will be decided by the chamber of deputies. Premier Poincare will take the floor either tomorrow or Wednesday.
 The decision of the chamber it ap- pears, will depend upon the interpre- tation given the resolution adopted at Genoa, fixing the conditions for the conference. It is expected, however, that in any case. the parliament will approve of France being represented only on condition that the delibera- tions at The Hague be confined 10 economic conditions.
 Ambassador Jusserand at Washing ton has exchanged views regarding The Hague conference with Secretary Of State Hughes, but it is said in off, cial circles that any interpretation of these conversations as negeS ations tending to induce the United States to send representative to The Hague is erroneous, the French government having no reason to try to convince the United States. since the attitude of the two governments is quite the same.

HOTTENTOT REBELLION
Outbreak Results in Mistaking Kind ness for WeAkness-Water Holes arc Poisoned.

London, May 29.--A rebellion has broken out among the Hottentots in the southwest protectorate of Africa, says a Reuter- dispatch from Cape Toyn. The outbreak is attributed by the authorities to a tendency on the party of many natives to mistake kindness for weakness.
 The insurgent tribe, called Bondelz- warts, numbers only 2,000 to 5000, but inhabit a country north of the Orange river difficult of access and has an unpleasant habit of poisoning water holes when expeditions are sent against it. It is anticipated, how ever, that South African air force will have little difficulty in dealing with the rebels.
 Reuter- dispatch from Windhoek, South Africa, says a sharp skirmish has taken place between the police and a strong body of the tr1besmen. Four Hottentots were believed killed and nine captured. One policeman was killed.

EXERCISES AT THE
 HIGH SCHOOL TODAY
Memorial Day Speakers Also at
 Other Schools

Memorial Day exercises were held at the New Britain High school this morning William Sternberg. Of the local Grand Army post; Rev. George w. c. Hill. pastor of the south Con- gregational church, and James Rogers, commander of the Eddy-Glover post, world war veterans, were tlie speak CTS.
 pr. Hill said that we should not for get that we memorabilia tomorrow the names of those who have done 30 much for us and for our country in war He spoke of the difficulty of de- termining just what our country Is. It is not the president and the other off, f1cials at Washington. It is found within each one of us, those things which our country signifies and those things for which 1t stands.
 MT. Rogers told something of the work which is being carried on by the American troops still remaining in France, and of the eight great ceme- teries in which are buried the Ameri- can heroes.
 Hopes for Future Arch.
 MT. Rogers also called attention to the present Court of Honor at Walnut Hill park. He expressed the hope that the city may, in the near future, see fit to build permanent memorial to the soldiers and sailors. He said that practically every citizen of New Britain feels the desire for Court of Honor which will not be disgrace to the city, as the present one is. This appearance is due mostly to small children who swing on the chains and ruin the memorial in other ways. Adults also do their share, striking matches on the columns.
 Asks for Flowers.
 He also made a request of dona- tions of flowers from friends and rela- tives of the dead soldiers. A com- mittee will be in the rooms of the To- cal post in the Electric building this afternoon and tomorrow morning to receive the flowers.
 MT. Sternberg told something of the early life of the Grand Army of the Republic and how they conceived the idea of installing patriotism into the minds of the citizens of the United States through the young people in the schools. He said that tomorrow should be set apart to decorating the graves of soldiers.
 He also called atteption to the ap- parent lack of respect which mem bers of the R. o. T. c. unit show to- wards the Civil War veterans.
 Other School Speakers.
 Exercises were also held in the other schools throughout the city as veterans of the Civil War, Spanish War, and World War veterans, as- sisted by the Sons of Veterans and members of the Citizens corps, gave addresses to the pupils. The follow ing is a list of those who spoke at the schools

HOME LIFE EXTENDED
 BY THE FAMILY CAR

An interesting phase of automobile ownership is it's extension of home life far beyond the four walls of a house." says A. G. Hawker, dealer in Durant cars.
 Tn former years it was not easy to project home influences further than tho front porch. Recreations invariably separated the family. Now everybody goes and many an automo- bile Is no less than a home on wheels evenings and Sundays when the family finds it's recreation together.
 The average car buyer today wants an automobile that will serve the whole family. He regards it as one of the necessities of life and wants to get it's operation into the household budget at the lowest possible figure. The new Durant sduarely meets the various requirements of the man who drives one car for all occasions"
