LlSE went straight to the Hotel

overlooking the glory of the
bay.
She had slept on the train, and. as
it was her first visit to Monte Carlo.
refreshed by a bath and breakfast,
she set out.
There was a gentle breeze from the
sea. which softened the heat OF the
blazing sun. The terraces were alive
with wonderfully gowned women,
with smart men. The great Casino
was like a fairy palace reared in a
dream, while the great hills behind
shimmered lazily, blue edged, against
the sky.
She leaned on the balustrade watch
ing the drifting, brilliant tide of hu-
| manity and she did not notice the ap-
| proach of the two men through the
crowd until they stood before her
! Brunei and Mordac. Her heart
seemed to stand still for a moment.
Then she smiled.

"Oh-I have a little villa up at

Elise could not refuse. and so it was
arranged that Mordac's car should

She lunched and afterward sat for
while in the hotel vestibule. AS
she was lounging back in a deep
chair she recognized something fa-

ultra smart woman who was crossing
the floor. She stared. The woman
turned and recognized her at once
She was Lolette.
"Oh-la, la" Her slim white hand
was extended mincingly. ITO meet

CHAPTER LyI.
A Silent Clash.

Mordac's Isotta Fraschini duly call
ed for Elise and Lolette and whirled
them to Mordac's villa beyond Beau
soleil. Lolette was toiletted with par
ticular care. Her amazing hair stood
out like a great halo of yellow fire.
Her gown was blue and cerise, low in
front; at the back as far as her
waistline. About her throat was a
belt of pearls. Her hands flashed dia-
monds.
Elise was in black, a svelte gown
by Paquin, relieved by crimson, set
ting off her blue eyes and jetty hair.
The greeting between Mordac and
Brunei and Lolette was as the first
clash OF duelists' blades. They smiled
and spoke soft words. but the malice
of Lolette and the discontinue of the
men crept out the stronger because
OF il.
The party numbered a dozen. and, as
La Phalene, Elise found herself well
coined among them.
There was an Austrian grand duke
with lady of great name and great
er notoriety; the son of one of Amer
icaS wealthieSt men in charge or

quently eyed La Phalene with some

with an olive-skinned woman, whose
dark eyes were Somber as the night;
Brunei and Elise, Mordac and Lolette.
AS Mordac had promised, the din
ner was impeccable and the wines
were chosen surely.
Elise enjoyed it. 1t was impossible
to sit at the polished silver and glass
laden table, with it's flowers and it's
lights, to listen to the gay conversa-
ton, to look out through the windows
to the deepening night and feel un
happy and afraid.
Two hours drifted by. They had
eaten and they had smoked and
lounged and talked and laughed. Far
below them the lights of Monte Carlo
were cleaning and winking, living
eyes of temptation beckoning them to
the footstools of chance
The cars were brought round and
they packed in four to a car. Elise
and Lolette with Brunei and Mordac.
There was some little delay at the
Casino while Mordac obtained tickets
for Elise and Lolette. They asked her
for how long she required a ticket.
and. at Mordac's suggestion, she said
a month. Lolette was handed one for
the same period.
II think we will play in the Sale
Schmit tonight" said Mordac, so if
you all have your fortune ready we
will see what we can do to break the
bank. Come along"
They passed through the silent
padded doors into the Sale Schmit-

BIG UPHEAVAL IN
 IRISH ARMY REGIME
Mulcahy Resigns and Others May
 Be Forced Out
;y The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Dublin, arch 20.--The early morn ing raid on a meeting of army of- ficers in Parnell Square yesterday is having far-reaching results, and a complete new regime for the Free State army is foreseen.
 Among the sensational develop ments following the raid were the resignation of Richard Mulcahy as minister of defense and a meeting of the executive council at which, in ad- dition to Mulcahys retirement, the members decided to ask for the res ignations of General MacMahon. chief of staff: General. O'Sullivan, adjutant general, and General O'Murthille, quartermaster general.
 The whole affair grows out of the army ''mutiny," which was brought to head by the issuance of a let ter by General Liam Tobin and Col. Dalton demanding change in the army council and denouncing the policy of widespread demobilization of officers who had "endeavored to place the country on the road to freedom"
 The meeting of officers was raided by troops acting under orders from Defense Minister Mulcahy and army

Churchill select ed the Abbey division of Westminster in which to make his fight, vacancy having occurred there by the death of Brigadier- General J. s. Nicholson, conservative member.
 He declined to seek nomination 'by the regular conservative organization, because that would have cut him off from the liberals, choosing to stand as an independent anti-socialist, as op- posed to the present labor regime. The candidate who defeated him was a nephew of General Nicholson.

COLERICCO VAGUELY
 RECALLS SHOOTING
(continued From First Page.)
Head Told Him To Do It.

The two doctors sat d vantage point during the cross questioning Of Colericco yesterday afternoon by States Attorney Alcorn and carefully followed every question and answer, watching every move he made. He answered questions regarding his life in Italy in minute detail. told of his coming to this country, landing in New York and then coming to New Britain, and told of his employment at the North X Judd factory since that time.
 Cross examined as to the occurrences that led up to the shooting of Gi- genti. colericco answered every ques- ton and was able to give every de- tail. eorroborating the testiomny of previous witnesses. About the shoot ing. however, the only answer that could be obtained from him was that his head told him to do it and he did.
 He said that he was mad because Gigenti had given him only s45 of the s100 he owed him, and that night. as Gigenti sat in the kitchen talking to Marci, the eyewitness of the affair, Colericco said "something like cleo tricity came into my head and told me to kill him (Gigent), so I went into the bedroom end took my gun from the drawer of the sewing ma chine. I put it in my pocket and stood there when something in my head said to me what are you wait ing for. a hack?' At that, he testi- fled. he drew the revolver from his pocket and shot.
 After the shooting he took Marci's coat which was hanging on a hook just inside the door and walked from the house. He was questioned close ly at this point on the details of talk ing the coat and leaving the house answering the questions clearly, but when the prosecutor asked him if he knew he had killed Gigenti and if he looked at the body on the floor, he said that he did not remember.
 Threw Gun Into ocean"
 Colericco was unable to throw any light on where he had disposed of the revolver except to say 'something in my head asked me what I intend- ed to do with that. so I threw it into what looked like an ocean to me" He did not know the names of the streets he traversed after leaving the house and could not tell the location of the pond into which he threw the revol- yer.
 shortly after 3 o'clock, Statcs's Att torney Alcorn announced that he was through with the cross-eNamination Judge Maltbie then announced that he would adjourn the court until to. day as he wanted to go from the point reached to n final decision without break. and that would be impossible yesterday.

council, it is said, without consulting either the executive council or Gem erai Owen O'Duffy, who was lately given supreme authority over every man in uniform.
 Although the executive council called for Mulcahy's resignation, his withdrawal was voluntary and 1t is understood he was not aware of the councils action at, the time. The main objection to the Parnell Square raid was that it "cut across" an ar engagement made with Joseph Me Grath. minister of industry, commerce
