CsiamoniN, France, Sept. 6.--Mme.
Marcel Scmbat committed suicide here
| today, following the sudden death yes
tertlay Of her husband, the millionaire
Socialist deputy and former minister Of
public works.
Marcel Sembat, millionaire radical
and former minister Of public works Of
France, had been an outstanding figure
in his country for many years. Ex-
treme radicals accused him Of betraying
their cause when he Immediately took
a stand against Germany, upon the
declaration Of war in 1914.
During the war he was Socialist
member Of the National Defense Cabinet
of France. The principal points in his
stand regarding the war were as fol-
lows:
First. France did not plan the war,
but did everything in her power to pre-
Second. The German claim that
France had prepared to violate the neu
trality of Belgium Is without founda-
ton.
Third, France did not want any ter
ritorial conquest from Germany, but Is
resolved to get back Alsace Lorraine,
because those two provinces are French
and not German.
Fourth. In order to restore interna
tional justice in Europe the militarism
of Prussia must be crushed.
Fifth. M. Sembat personally did
not favor any project to split up the
German Empire into small States, be-
cause that would violate the political
rights of the German people.

CHAPTER TX
The Ganaman Sees Red.

Exactly thirty minutes after Clay had left him to break into the house, Johnnie lifted his voice in loud vail where that one can never find an officer when he is wanted but the Bull-of- -Bashan roar of the cowpuncher brought them running from all direc- tiOns.
 Out of the confused explanations of the rangerider the first policeman to reach him got two lucid statements
 They're white-slavin' a straight girl. This busher says his pal went in to rescue her half an hour ago and hasn't showed up since," he told his mates.
 With Johnnie bringing up the rear they made noisy attack on the front door of Number 121. Almost immedi- ately it was opened from the inside Four men had come down the stairs in a headlong rush to cut off the es- cape of one who had Outwitted and taunted them.
 Those who wanted to get in and those who wanted to get out all tried to talk at once, but as soon as the police recognized Jerry Durand they gave him the floor.
 Were after fat-worker." ex- plained the eX-pugilist. He must be tryin' for roof getaway" He turned and led the joint forces back up the stairs.
 Thugs and officers surged up after him, carrying with them in their rush the Runt. He presently found himself on the roof with those engaged in a man-hunt for his friend. When Clay shattered the window and disappeared inside after his escape from the roof. Johnnie gave deep sigh of relief. This gun-play got on his nerves, since Lindsay was the target of it.

 Say, what are you anyhow-a moIl buzzer? If you're porch-climber ont for the props you've sure come to the wrong dump. I got nothin' but bum rocks"
 This was Greek to Clay. He did not know that she had asked him if be were a man who rObs women, and that she had told him he could get no al. amonds there since hers were false.
 The Arizonan guessed at once that he was not in the room mentioned in the letter. He slipped his revolver back into its place between shirt and trousers.
 'Is this house number 121?" he asked.
 "NO. it's 123. What of itY'
 Its the wrong house. I'm ce'tainly one chump."
 The black eyes lit with sardonic mockery. Say, do I look like one of them born-every-minute kindy" she asked easily. "Go ahead and spring that old one on me about how you got tanked at the club and come in at the window on account O your wife havin' temper somethin' fierce"

Americans Who Made Their Names Celebrated Were Essentially Men
 of Highest Character.

"Bill Nye," our own Edgar Wilson Nve. leaped into fame while writing humorous sketches for the Laramie Boomerang. of which he was editor. The name of Bill Nye' was bestowed on him by his ofNce associates. His book. "Baled Hay." was very popula' for a time, but, like much humorous writing. it's popularity was ephemeral. Bill Nye" was much loved by all who knew him. He was considered "the greatest American liar"
 William T. Adams was the noted "Oliyer Optic" who wrote more than A thousand stories. He died much mourned by young readers, for whom most of his books were written.
 Under the name of Artemus Ward. Charles F. Browne made a worldwide reputation as a lecturer and humorist. He was an inimitable wag; his humor was irresponsible and kept all about him in a constant state of merriment. He was the first writer to adopt phonetic spelling. He died in 1869.
 "Eli Perkins, was contemporary with "Artemus Ward" and 1t was Ward who bestowed the nom de plume mon him. Melville D. Landon was es- senrfally funny man," but not truly A humorist. He was a gentle, kindly man and one who loved his fellows.

| Clay's eyes were on the gutter above while he jerked his way down a foot at time A face and part of body swung out into sight.
 We've got yuh. Come back, or I'll shoot" voice called down.
 A revolver showed against the black sky.
 The man from Arizona did not an. swer and did not stop. He knew that shooting from above is an art that few men have acquired.
 A bullet sang past his ear just as he swung in and crouched on the window sill Another one hit the bricks close to his head.
 The firing stopped. A pair of uni formed legs appeared dangling from the caves. A body and a head fol lowed these. They began to descend jerkily.
 Clay took turn at the gun-play. He fired his revolver Into the air. The spasmodic jerking of the blue legs abruptly ceased.
 "Yuh'd better give up quietly. We're bound to get yuh," an officer shouted from the roof by way of barley.
 The cattleman did not answer ex- cept by the smashing of glass. He had forced his way into two houses within the past hour. He was now busy breaking into third. The window had not yielded to pressure. Therefore he was knocking out the glass with the butt of his revolver.
 He crawled through the opening just as some one sat up in bed with frightened exclamation. "Who-is-s-s-s it?", masculine voice asked, teeth chattering. Clay had no time to gratify idle curiosity. He ran through the room reached the head of the stairs and went down on the banister to the first floor. He fled back to the rear of the house and stole out by the kitchen l door.
 The darkness of the alley swallowed him, but he could still hear the shouts of the men on the roof and answering ones from new arrivals below.
 Five minutes later he was on board street car. He was not at all par. ticular as to it's destination. He want, ed to be anywhere but here. This neighborhood was getting entirely too active for him.

way, kicked the automatics into the open, and took possession of them. He felt safer with the revolvers in his coat pocket, for they had been within reach of Durand, and that member of the party was showing signs of q re- turn to active interest in the proceed ings.
 "When I get you right I'll crOak you. By Cd, will,' swore the gang lead CT savagely, nursing his battered head 'NO big stiff from the bushes can run anything over on me-
 'I believe you" retorted Clay easily. That is, I believe you're tellin' me yore intentions straight There's no news In that to write home about. But you'd better make that if instead of when. This is three cracks you've had at me and I'm still right healthy rube"
 Don't bank on fool luck any more. I'll get you sure" cried Durand sourly.
 The gorge of the Arizonan rose. "AIebbeso. You're a dirty dog, Jerry Durand. From the beginning you were rotten fighter-in the ring and out of 1t. You and yOre strong-arm men Do you think I'm afraid of you be- cause you surround yoreself with dips and yeggmen and hopnuts, all scum

CHAPTER VII-continued.


 "Nothin' doin', old-timer. This is my job. and don't reckon I'll let any, body else tackle 1t. Much obliged. just the same. You're one sure enough white man, Johnnie"
 The little fellow knew that the mat ter was settled. Clay had decided and what he said was final But John- nie worried about 1t all the way. At the last moment, when they separated at the street corner, he added one last word.
 Don't you be too venturesome. son. If them guys got you it sure would break me all up."
 Clay smiled cheerfully. They're not. goin' to get me. Johnnie. Don't forget to remember not to forget yore part. Keep under cover for thirty min utes; then if I haven't shown up. holler yore head off for the cops"
 They were passing an alley as Clay finished speaking. He slipped into its friendly darkness and was presently lost to sight. It ran into an inner court which was the center of tortu- Ous passages. The cattleman stopped to get his bearings. selected the likeli- est exit, and brought up in the shel- ter of a small porch. This, he felt sure. must be the rear of the house he wanted.
 A strip of lattice work ran up the side of the entrance. Very carefully. testing. every slat with his weight be- fore trusting himself to 1t, he climbed up and edged forward noiselessly upon the roof On hands and knees he crawled to the window and tried to peer in.
 The blind was down, but he could see that the room was dark. What danger lurked behind the drawn blind he could not guess. but after a mo- ment. to make sure that the revolver beneath his belt was ready for in- stant use, he put his hand gently on the sash.
 His motions were soundless as the fall of snowfiakes. The window moved slowly, almost imperceptibly, under the pressure of his hands. Warily he lift ed one leg into the room. His head followed. then the rest of his body. He waited. every nerve tensed.
 There came to him sound that sent cold finger-tips playing a tattoo up and down his spine. It was the in. take of some ones cautious breathing.
 His hand crept to the butt of the revolver. He crouched, poised for either attack or retreat.
 A bath of light flooded the room and swallowed the darkness. Instantly Clay's revolver leaped to the air.

The Middle Aues,

The Middle ages was period of about thousand years in the history of Europe, beginning with the fall of the Roman empire in 476 A. D., and ending with the fall of the eastern Roman empire in 1543 A. D. The Middle ages include the years between the close of the classic times and the dawn of the modern era, and consti- tuted the epoch of feudalism, chivalry and the Crusades. According to Hal lam, the Middle ages comprise about 1000 years, from the invasion of France by Clovis in 476 to that of Ma pies by Charles VIII in 1494. From the close of the Middle ages came the invention of printing, the discovery of America and the revival of learning ip the Fifteenth century.

were trying to ambush him In the house next door the girls plan might save him. He would have a chance at least to get them unexpectedly in the rear.
 It could have been scarcely more than two minutes later that the young woman joined him. They padded soft ly along the corridor till they came to flight of stairs running up. The girl led the way. taking the treads without noise in her stockinged feet. Clay followed with the utmost caution.
 She took him toward the rear to a ladder which ended at a dormer half door leading to the roof. Clay fumbled
