Because" said Jane, with perfect
to Luttrell Marches tomorrow, and
somebody there-somebody, Henry
will decide whether she is to be elimi-
mated or not"
Henry sat perfectly silent. He
stared at Jane, and she stared at him.
1t seemed al if the silence in the room
were growing heavier and heavier,
like water that gathers behind some
unseen dam. All of a sudden Henry
sprang to his feet
''Is this hoax?" he asked, in tones
of such anger that Jane hardly
recognized them.
Jane got up, too. The hand that
she rested upon the table was not
quite steady.
Henry, how dare you?" and her
voice shook a little, too.
Henry swung round.
mo, no-I beg your pardon, Jane,
for the Lords sake don't look at me
like that It's, its-well, it's pretty
staggering to have you come here
and say :" He paused. What
was it you wanted to know"
II asked you who is living at Lut-
trell Marches"
Henry was silent. He walked to
the end of the room and back. James
eyes followed him. Where had this
sudden wave of emotion come from?
1t seemed to be eddying about them,
filing the confined space. Jane made
herself look away from Henry, forced
herself to notice the room, the furni-
ture, the pictures-anything that was
commonplace and ordinary. This was
decidedly Henry'S room and not his
mothers, from the worn leather chairs
and plain oak table to the neutral
colored walls with their half dozen
Meissonier engravings. Not a flower,
not a trile Of any sort, and one wall
all books from ceiling to floor. Ex
actly opposite to Jane there was
fine print of 1.-The Generals in the
Snow" The lowering, thunderous
sky, heavy with snow and black with
the omens Of Napoleons fall, domi-
mated the picture, the room. Jane
looked at it, and looked away with a
shiver, and as she did SO Henry was
speaking:
Jane, I don't want to answer that
to think. I want little time to turn
things over in my mind. Look here,
come round to the fire and sit down
comfortably. Let's talk about some
thing else for a bit. l want all your
news, for one thing. Tell me what
you've been doing with yourself"
Jane came slowly to the f1reside
After all, it was pleasant just to put
everything on one side and be COM
Portable. Henry's chair was very
comfortable, and the day seemed to
have lasted for weeks, and weeks,

Will she do when she comes home and

Il don't know. I'm sure" Henry's

Jane. you must let-er. er. mean,

and Jane looked at him very kindly.
Nothing doing, Henry" she said,
but It's frightfully nice of you, all

There was silence. When Jane
thought it had lasted long enough.
she said:
$50, you see. 1t all comes back
again TO Renata. Have you done
your thinking. Henry?"
yes" said Henry. He drew a chair
to the table and sat down half
turned to the fire-half turned to

but oftener his gaze dwelt intently
| on the rise and fall of the flames.
What makes you think that your
| cousin is to be taken to Luttrell
Marches? Did these people tell her
so?"
NO" said Jane-"of course not. AS
| far as l can mako out from Arnold
| Todhunter, Renata is locked in her
room, but there's another key and
| she can get in and out. She can move
about inside the fiat, but she can't
get out of 1t. Well, one night she
| crept out and listened, though you
| would have thought she had had

was out of the way, they would send
her to Luttrell Marches and let

been nearly off her head with terror,
poor kid. Now, Henry, it's your turn.
What about Luttrell Marches?"
Henry's face seemed to have grown
rigid Its impossible" he said in a
| low voice.
The clock above them struck 10,
| and he waited till the last stroke had
died away.
Il don't know quite what to say to
you. but whatever 1 say is confiden-
| tial. You've heard my mother talk
OF the Luttrells. and you may or may
not know that my uncle died a year

the fire, and then. because she no
ticed that they were still trembling
little, she folded them in her lap.
Henry leaned against the mantel-
piece and looked down at her.
Where have you been?" he asked.
We'll, that Summer at Upwater-
you know we were lodging with the
woman who had the post office-Jim-
my and I stayed on after all the other
visions were gone. l expect it was
rather irregular, but / used to help
her. You see her son didn't get back
until 18 months after the armistice,
and she wasn't really up to the work.
In the end, you may say ran that

was something to do, especially after
Jimmy died"
Yes, 1 heard. 1 wondered where
you were"
II stayed on until the son came
home. and then / couldn't. He was
awful, and she thought him quite
perfect. poor old soul. I came to
London and got a job in an office, and
month ago I lost it. The firm was
cutting down expenses, like every
body else. And then-well, 1 looked
for another job. and couldn't find one,
and this morning my landlady locked
the door In my face and kept my box.
And that, Henry, Is why l am think
ing seriously of changing places with
my Cousin Renata, who, at least, has
a roof over her head and enough to
eat"
Jane" said Henry furiously, "you
don't mean to say-So that's why
you're looking such a white ragr"
Jane was Mortified to find that her
eyes had filled with tears. She
laughed, but the laugh was not a
very convincing one.
Il did have q cup of coffee and two
penny buns" she began; and then
Henry was fetching sandwiches from
the sideboard and pressing a cup of
hot chocolate into her not unwilling
hands.

riage. She was at one time engaged

to Luttrell Marches. you Will see her
for she makes her home with Sir
William"
Henry's voice was perfectly express
sionless. The short sentences fol,
lowed cne another with a little pause
after each. Jane looked sideways
and said very quick and low:
We're you very fond of her,
Henry?"

Citing that The Fool" has made
more than $1,O00,oo0 on the stage and
s150,000 more in movies, Waxman
asks the Federal Court to enjoin
further presentation of the play and
to order an accounting of it's financial
career.
Waxman, now a. publicity man, al
leges that he wrote the plot of THE
Fool in 1910 and copyrighted it un-
der the title Soldiers of the Common
Good, or The Second Coming" Be-
tween 1912 and 1922. he says, the
Selwyns contracted with Pollock to
produce this play under the title
The FOOL
AS evidence that his play was the
basis for the one successfully pro-
duced. Waxman cites that Pollock is
sued a booklet in which he said his

Waxman, at about the time Pollock

three prominent leaders in the Amert-

his antagonism to our principles and
policies and because he has not felt
to be repre- sen tative of the majority
of labor opinion in this country.
