ability to meet a situation and make
it yield a profit.
Despite my resolution, then, to
think no more of Higgins and the
White Eagle, they were both in my
minds as, turning a corner into the
Rue des Saints Peres, I collided with
a group of people standing before a
doorway. 1 muttered an apology,
stepped back, and noted that the per-
son Of the group with whom I had
come into most violent contact-he
had fallen to the ground-was blind
in n eye.
I bent over swiftly and helped him
to his feet. My perfunctory apol-
Ogy became profuse and sincere.
Seeing that he was poorly dressed, 1
ventured to offer him a coin. He
seized 1t greedily. and I would have
passed on. only that I noticed that
the rest Of the group were all blind
in n eye.
Other groups stood across the
street, in the street, and farther
down the narrow sidewalk on which
I stood. And I noticed that every
single of them suffered the same
affliction; they were all blind in one
eye.
I suppose that my amazed horror
was reflected in my face. For the
man to whom I had presented the
gratuity laughed at me.
Monster is amazed, yes? To see
so many Of us is stranger"
as this a hospital here?" 1 asked,
pointing at the building before which
we stood.
He shook his head. mo, monster,
it is the home of a patron of all
afflicted such as we. Monsieur has
not read the mornings Cri de
Paris?"
1 shook my head, and he thrust
into my hand a copy of the paper,
folded back to expose an advertise
ment. I read 1T lamely in my falter-
ing French. Translated, it ran:
"A gentleman whose son. having
lost an eye for France, bore his
wound proudly, despite his affection,
until his death by accident recently
wishes to honor the memory of that
noble son by kindnesses to those sim
ilarly afflicted. The gentleman will
devote part of his large fortune to
the founding and maintenance of q
club for one-eyed men. 1t will not
be limited only to those who lost
their sight in the war against the
cursed Boche. All men who are
without the sight of one eye are
eligible to the privileges. of the club.
Those interested are requested, to
apply to No. -, Rue des Saints
Peres, between the hours of 9 and
II on Wednesday,"
I read this amazing advertise
ment. so t~ypically French in senti-
ment, and my eyes filled with tears.

CONCRETE FOR PATCHING
State Starts New Idea in Repairing
Cement Roads.

A new idea in maintenance has
just been established on a State road
by the highway department. It Is
patching a concrete road with con-
crete instead of employing the old
method of cold patch Of tar or as
phaytic preparation.
The experiment is on State Rd.
81, between the corporate edge of
Indianapolis and Oaklandon. High
way engineers were of the opinion
that the holes were too numerous
and too big for cold patching, SO,
in order to reclaim the road. used
cement in patching. This section
was built during the war by Marion
County and received terrific wear
from trucks hauling war materials
between Indianapolis and FIT. Har-
rison.

Food put. me in a more philosophical
frame of mind. After all, I might be
deluding myself; Higgins might have
made the acquaintance of a motor
ious crook simply for the sake of the
thrill that some people gain from
such an acquaintance. At any rate,
it did not behoove me to e out
my nerves in imagining problems
that, having no existence, could have
no solution.
And yet l was ashamed Of these
reflections; for after all, they were

FIND that one thinks better
in bed than any other place.
Undressed, then, with Gig
arettes beside me, 1 pondered the
strange relationship which 1 had
seen evidenced tonight.
What was the basis of the ac-
quaintance between the White Eagle
"a notorious though UNPUBLISHED
criminal-and Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah
Higgins of Cincinnati, Ohio?
1 wondered that I had not recog-
nized the Higginses at first glance.
Still. the photographs of them,
which had appeared in the Ameri-
can and European press, had evil
IDENTIFY been retouched to a degree.
And If I had not instantly recog-
nized the faces, 1 paid proper tribute
to the Higgins glory by Immediately
identifying their names.
Who in the newspaper reading
world had not heard of Josiah Hig-
gins, who had been a multimillion-
aire before the war, and who was
nov popularity reputed to be worth
at least a billion? Statisticians had
estimated how many times his for
tune, if reduced to dollar bills, would
girdle the globe, how many times 1t
would rebuild the pyramids If re-
duced to silver coins. And other
statisticians had solemly affirmed
that it cost $50, 900 to dress Mrs. Hig-
gins for breakfast, and at least a
million and a quarter to properly
Clothe and ornamerIc her for dinner.
Their extravagances had become
a matter of international awe. Also,

There were delivery boys perched
on top of their wagons, middle-aged
rlen on stepladders, out-of-town sigh
seers standing on their cars. and
scores of the local riffraff swarming in
the trees or looking through the fence
IN an endeavor to see the game with
out paying for it. Occasionally, more's

dent, impecunious, or frugal, or i'm

Jack caught a difficult foul, and once
caught sight of a high-browed in

heavy books he was carrying, crane

There are various ways of looking

who accepts an office or an honor with
