they had not loved in their Apache days
The day came for his discharge from the
hospital. He kissed her goodby and

Old Impulses Were Gone;
Good Had Driven Out Evil
When he had gone, Yvette began to feel
the shackles that her old life had bound
about her. She felt the impulse to return
to her leadership of the vicious. But it
was hopeless impulse. The best had taken
possession of her heart and she was purged
of all the old, terrible desires. She prayed
that he. too, might have been purified by
the flame Of war-that he, Degory, her
lover, might never be urged to return to
the Catacombs.
After the war Degory disappeared. Then,
one day not so long ago he returned to
her. He had taken up his original trade
that of mechanic. He had prospered
moderately and was ready to take Yvette
back to Rouen.
Then came the strangest phenomenon.
The fact that she had deserted the old,
ugly haunts of wickedness and crime had
a powerful influence over the Paris under
world. Crime was no longer an organized
corporations function. II had lost its
leader and the denizens OF the Catacombs
in great numbers were left without an evil
genius.
Many of them had once been honest
working folk-like Degory-and had re-
mained in the setting OF crime only be-
cause OF the spell woven around them by
the flashing eyes and the terrifically grip
ping poise OF this woman. With Yvette
turned respectable these men focked back
to their old honorable trades
Perhaps, considering the situation more
deeply, Yvette was not entirely responsible
for this exodus from the Catacombs TO the
open fields OF honest work. Perhaps the
former Apaches came in contact with so
many people of the outside world, discov-
cred such a spirit OF human fellowship In
their intercourse with fellow soldiers, that
the coming OF peace left them with a new
outlook on life. Whatever the cxpIana

woman-a mere slip of woman without
power other than her personality-could
be the absolute monarch of an empire of
thugs and villains. And it is a matter Of
fact that this Yvette, this dark-eyed
woman of the underworld, this little, 1.-THE,
particularly pretty, childlike person. was
the powerful queen of the Paris cutthroats.
Her word was law. She is no longer the
queen of the Paris underworld. She was
never ousted-not that. The loyalty of the
Apaches to her was astonishing. She vol

come the wife of a moderately well stu
ated mechanic, who had been one of her
Apache leaders until little while before
the war came. He had been her lover in
Apache days and he is her lover now. She
gave up the glamour that had surrounded
her life from her childhood in favor of
staid, circumspect family life and wife
hood-and Yvette is happy
without a queen-without an effective
and inspiring leader-the Apaches are no
longer Apaches. There is no vestige re-
naming of the picturesque. terrible crimi-
nails OF pre-war Paris. And ii was the war
as much as the retirement of Yvette.
Apaches Rushed to Battle
And Many Died NobIy
When the enemy of France threatened
Paris, and when every available body was
needed to stem the tide OF the advance of
the German horde, out OF the Catacombs
came the Apaches by the thousands, rush
ing headlong to the battle scene. And their
work was greatly helpful.
Women, too, responded to the emergency
cry, and among them was Yvette. During
the war 1t was not unusual to see beauti.

who had strangled with her own hands, IT
was said, half dozen victims held for
her by her confederates, was the reason.
Yvette, who as queen had ruled the un-
derworld as no autocratic Czar ever had
ruled Russia, had come out OF the Cata-
combs and was now sedate, young ma
tron with a husband and home.
And the impulse that led the cruel but
charming Yvette to leave the underground
haunts where she was wont to sit as
queen and executioner at trials of her sub
jects who had been found wanting and to
surrender herself to the spell of romance
that the sun might shine upon and the
police freely observe was the same i'm
pulse that had led the one Apache to be-
come an honest cobbler and the other a
scientific robber.
Unquestionably it is strange that a

" mystifed by the gradual disappear
ance of the Apaches-those once
famous figures in the underworld. Many
explanations have been given by those who
pretend to know but it is just now that
Paris has learned what has become of the
former denizens of the Catacombs.
A magistrate asked a former Apache,
who had been called from cobbier's shop,
whore the police found him diligently at
work at honest labor, to testify in crimi-
nal hearing. The magistrate, like many
others, was curious.

Apache-one who had been a dangerous
enemy of the police before the war
"Yvette got married - that's the whole
story"
Even to the magistrate and the police
this was a cryptic reply. yet they were
soon to learn that it was. indeed, an epit-
ome of the whole story" A few days
later the same magistrate had before him
another former Apache, this one a pris-
oner, however, charged with an especially
bold bank robbery. It was not one of the
usual crimes OF Apaches, but a carefully
planned and executed scientific crime. The
Apache too, was not dressed in the pic
turesque costume so familiar to the visi-
tors to the Catacombs, but in neat, modish
clothes.
The magistrate, informed as to his iden-
tity, asked him the question.
Can you tell me what has become of
your old associates? They do not seem
to be so numerous or troublesome"
I'VE took our cue from Yvette, the
queen--she left us and settled down, you
know" was the reply. Just as cryptic, it
seemed. as the other.

INCOME TAX POINTERS

To save themselves time and trou-
BILE, and, in many cases, unnecessary
expenditures, taxpayers, having bust
ness with the income tax unit OF the
Bureau Of International Revenue at
Washington and desiring conference
with officials in connection Herewith,
are advised to ask for such conference
in advance.
A number Of taxpayers and their
representatives appear at the income
tax unit without appointment, and
ask immediate hearing. Frequently
the conference cannot be held at once
for the reason that the papers and
information relating to the case must
be assembled or the proper official may
be otherwise engaged. The result IS
delay of day or two, and added
cost to the taxpayer in the way OF
hotel bills, etc.
Requests for conference should be
addressed to the Commissioner OF In
ternational Revenue, Washington, u.
c., together with statement OF all
the facts in connection with the cases
and the purpose for which it is de-
sired. The taxpayer will be informed
by letter or telegram Of the date ap-
pointed for the conference.

WHEN HAIL STOOD
THREE FEET DEEP
MOST SEVERE HAIL STORM TO
VISIT CUSTER COUNTY NEAR
MILES CITY

Tourists arriving in Miles City tell
of thrilling experiences in one of the
worst hail storms 10 strike this sec
tion of the state IN recent years. The
storm swept a path four miles wide
and sixteen miles long.
The storm came from the north
west and hail began to fall in the
vicinity of the county farm north
east of the city and swept across the
county to the Pine Hills for dis
lance of 16 miles. Many fields of
small grain and corn were wiped out
of existence as were many farm gar
dens north and east of the city. For
tunateIy the severest part of the
storm passed over rough country
where no fields were planted. The
damage done is believed to be con-
siderable.
The storm was the most severe in
the Pine Hills in the vicinity of Gov
eminent hill, where hail stood three
feet deep iii drifts. Members of the
Rotary club had gone to the Pine
Hills on picnic and were caught in
the swirl of hail and water, and had
great difficulty getting home on ac-
count of the slippery condition of
the roads.
The Seven Mile bridge was washed
away when the water came down the
gulch. The floor of the bridge was
washed off and carried down the
gulch for considerable distance and
left high and dry Travellers, how
ever, were able to drive down the
embankment and cross, as the water
soon receded. Many tourists found
travelling most difficult on account
of the slippery gumbo and the whole
country was filled with rushing tor
rents.
