appears that the Vane woman was

knew we'll, and that she had no pre-

queer point about the murder that
the press is bound to pounce on and
play up big, and yet 1 can't see any
exclamation; thought perhaps you
might have some idea"
What, is that, sir?" Barry's tone
was guileless.
There were no powder marks on
theswoman's smock, and the medical
examiner says that the shot must
have been fired from a distance Of
several feet at least"
The chief paused. "Now, accord
ing to Boyle's report, Professor Sem
yonov stated that when you and he
heard the sound If the shot and
opened his door he heard footsteps
on the stairs"
Sergeant Barry smiled.
"The professor and have sligh.

THE SEIZURE OF MEMEL

The Germans long complained
because the mouths OF their river
Rhine were held by Holland. The
Nieman. a Lithuanian and Polish
stream, had its mouth in East
Prussia before the War. Memel,
the German fortress on the north
side OF the rivers mouth, was re-
leased by the Treaty of Versailles
and confided to the League of Ma
tons, which was finally to dispose
OF its occupancy and use as seem
ed equitable.
The Lithuanians, who have now
seized Mcneil. believe they are but
taking their own. 1t is the one
port of any consequence available
to them and the territory belongs
to them by geographical and
clinical right. But their act is
high-handed and violates the Yer
sailles pact as well as the dignity
OF the League. In mitigation or
justification they can plead their
own subsection to the violence of
Poland. which in defiance of both
Treaty and League seized and now
holds wilma, the ancient capital of
Lithuania.
Lithuania was once merged with
Poland. Both peoples are Slavic
and Catholic and as much akin as
English and Scotch. Indeed, when
king of Lithuania became Polish
king, as James vi Of Scotland be-
came James l Of England, Poland
rose to greatest power. The best
interests of both peoples now
would be consulted, if the two
would merge: but their mutual
animosities are, at the moment, too
much aroused TO permit it.
France would welcome the con-
solidation. as forwarding her in
terest in the erection of a strong
barrier state between Germany
and Russia. Such state would
encircle the German Province Of
East Prussia and run the whole
distance between the Carpathians
and the Baltic. Besides. as a
glance of the map will reveal, Me-
mel is the natural outlet, not only
Of Lithuania. but also Of much Of
Eastern Poland, as indeed, the
Lithuanian seizure of Memel were
to be followed by some sort of
union between Poland and Lithu-
ania, the violent event might be
justified by its consequences.
What Europe needs, of course, is
economic revival. That can be adj
vanced only by erasure of trade re-
strictions and barriers. The OPEN
ing of the whole Nieman basin to
commence would help northeastern
Europe. To hope that such will
result from the Memel seizure is
merely to hope. Whereas the act
may prove firebrand thrown into
powder ne.-Minneapolis

IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS

A widowed old document. dated
1859, is discovered in Poland. It
describes the execution of certain
gentleman named Casimir Lyszyn-
ski. After death, his body was
burned. his ashes put in a cannon
and shot into the air toward Tar
tary. This happened in Warsaw,
and was an event not unu sual in
those days.
Casimiar's crime was denying
The existence of God.
Today he could deny it until he
talked himself blue in the face.
All intelligent people would pity
him for his vanity, ignorance and
stupidity. But no one would think
of executing him. A few would ar
gue-possibly convince him of the
truth.
Compare then with now, and
realize progress.
1t is only 1873 years since count
erfeiters were considered guilty
Of treason and often burned alive
in England. The law was repealed
in 1890.
A heart-rending instance was a
little girl. only IA, sentenced to be
burned at the stake in 1882. The
house OF commons STORMY debat-
ed her fate. When Sir William
Meredith pardoned her. the fagots
had been piled up for the fire.
She had been convicted of con-
cealing counterfeiter's dies inside
her corset, at the command of her
employer.
Executions for witchcraft were
common in the old days 5000 be-
ing put away" in England during
the long parliament.

hanged at Huntington for selling
their souls to the devil and raising
q storm by pulling off their stock
ings and making lather of soap"
The authority. harrington, esti-
mated that 10000 were executed in
England on witchcraft charges.
It's a terrible past that, we have
come out of. We're not entirely
out yet. Superstition and injustice
still have their poisonous talons in
humanity. But compare modern
times with those old days, and no
argument is needed that we're get
ting better.

ton yet of the portrait which Miri.
am Vane was painting when she
met her death, sir?" asked Barry.
only that it is picture of Mrs.
Theodore Vansittart--"
Coming down a staircase" Barry
finished. "The THIRD STEP OF
THE STAIRS is just on level with
the artists breast as she sat on a
stool before the easel, and there is a
bullet hole in the canvas. Miriam
Vane was shot through the heart by
someone on the other side of the
Portrait"
For moment the chief seemed
about to explode with the mingled
emotions which consumed him. The
next he sank back in his chair and
raised his powerful hands, c to let
them fall with a slam upon his desk.
"A bullet hole through the por-
trait!" he exclaimed. "And none of
those no-account flatfoot dicks, not
even the medical examiner himself,
had eyes to see it! The reporters
would have smoked it out and had a
fine laugh en- the department if 1T
hadn't been for you, John!"
"No woman deliberately destroys
all signs of her former identity UNI
less she has secret to hide" said
Barry, "and am not certain that Il
previous tragedy was not linked in
some fashion with her life. The
shot which killed her was not the
first to be involved in her destiny"
"The ribbon, dried flowers, lace,
and the hair and the locket-why, l
suppose every woman treasures just
such things the world over" COM
mented the chief. "That empty
cartridge, though. 1t must have
meant something mighty serious TO
her, and we've got to find out what
that something is. The photograph
is too faded to be of any use as
evidence and whatever was written
on the back has been scratched out
long ago"
= Look at it through this, sir"
Barry offered his miscroscope. "The
penciled words beneath the ink
scrawl are 'Mopus WOULD move
Now, as make it out, that refers to
the blur beside the figure of the
