''This is Count de Barsac," Judy
said. The look in the mans eyes
filled her with the fascination of
lifted veil.

He gave light laugh. Judy
watched him under spell that
would not be shaken off
"You can't tell the truth, Leon,
after you have been thrashed for
telling lies" she said.
Her words quivered. She had
reached a state of physical and
mental exhaustion that left her
shaken at de Barsac's suave speech
in spite Of her own scornful
rejoinder. She appreciated the
tenacity of de Barsac's craft and
finesse. Through her tired brain
the suspicion that perhaps, after all,
the preparations for the wedding
had been but a ruse passed with a
spasm of dull bitterness.

She paused as Maisie van Or

and, turning slowly, saw that Leon
de Barsac stood, the picture of
wickedness incarnate, in the door

He gave the distortion of a

unbelievable. To Judy, it was as
though the dapper and debonair dc.
Barsac was dead, and a bruised
and limp caricature left in which
only the eyes, family familiar
through the light of malevolence
which filled them, were recogniz-

Minta Durfee was another whose
breath was taken away by the
speed with which the mill divorced
her from "Fatty" Arbuckle. She
paid her money and received her
decree, and then said: 81 don't
care, I'm going to get another and
make sure" Then, like Irene Cas-
tie, she went to Paris, where the
polite and obliging French judges
divorced her all over again. This
prudence saved her ex-husband
from getting into hot water again,
because Fatty" OH the strength
of his first divorce, took another
wife.
When Pearl White in 1921 got
one of those divorced while you
watt jobs done for her in Rhode
Island and was relieved of her hus-
band, "Wallie" McCutcheon, there
was considerable criticism. Miss
White gave her residence as Rhode
Island, but as far as any one could
find out that residence consisted
of a few gay parties at Narragan-
sett Pier and one or two trips
across the State in her Rolls-Royce,
at a speed that did not indicate to
the motorcycle police any intention
of stopping there.
The case was almost, but not
quite, Investigated, and the decree
was allowed to stand, to Miss
Whites sorrow, for she is now in
the "what about me?" class.
1t was Nina Wilcox Putnam.
Writer of humorous stories, who, in
passing through the mill, ruiled the
whole works. She made no trouble
herself, nor did her husband, Rob-
ert 7. Sanderson, who seemed re-
signed to his fate; but from Mad
ison, Conn.,, a certain Mrs. Ellis
worth Bassett, wife of clam-dig-
ger, threw a monkey-wrench into
the nicely running machinery.
Her clam-digger husband had
quit his profession and become
Miss Putnam's chauffeur and bust
ness adviser, and attended to bust
ness so earnestly that there was I'M
kind gossip. Mrs. Bassett got into
the paper with startling accusa-
tons, calling Mrs. Putnam a Glove
thief" ETC., and she employed law
yers to force Bassett to come back
to her and the clans. She even
accused the authorities of trying
to buy her husband, and announced
before the reporters and photog-
raphers that her husband was mot
for sale"
This drew so much attention to
the pending divorce suit that some
one thought it her duty to come all
the way from Madison and prove
to the judge that Miss Putnam had
never resided in Rhode Island at
all. The court ordered an inves-
tigation. Horton and Dougherty
were tried and convicted of fraud.
with the result that some 300
women don't know what is going
to happen to them, nor even how to
describe themselves to the census
taker. The divorce mill might
still be going if Bassett had only
stuck to his CLAIMS, or if Bassett's
wife had been a little more clam
like.

MARITIME? Then, perhaps you will
go to Deepdene Grange to your
English millionaire and marry him
"a young lady with a milk-white
reputation. | think that is your
plan. But it will miscarry, little
Judy, | assure you. For 1, too,
though | am a cosmopolitan, be-
long to your English countryside,
and perhaps l shall come back
there. Your aunt and uncle, who
are respectable before anything
else, will insist that l shall marry
you. Your reputation will be
linked with mine. And perhaps
shall marry you and perhaps l
shall not. But whoever does, it
will not be Chatterton."
Judy listened Whitley. The
naked malice of de Barsac's man
ner while it told of defeat had its
accent of danger. Yet she was
beyond fear, now, and-it seemed
to her-deadened to pain or
calumny or any other sensation.
When she looked up again, de
Barsac was gone.
"Some rattlesnake ~ Maisie van
Open said, after a long pause.
Lucky most of his sting is taken
out of him. But, if you'd like to
come aboard the Whip-poor-will,
Miss Kinsella-"
Judy shook her head.

hers. A moment later, the Amer
lean girl vanished into the silvered
radiance of the palazza garden, and
the splash of oars on the water told
of the boat that waited her.

Thought They Had Divorced

efficiency. Horton could use a
sort of form or QUESTIONABLE in
the legal petitions and dispositions.
The wife would sign one of these
blanks, Horton or some one in his
office fill in the answers, and then
partner Dougherty would attach
his seal, sign it, and attest that the
foregoing statements had been duly
deposed and sworn to before him
as attorney of record.
The affidavits of corroborating
witnesses were manufactured in
the same way, though here some
times efficiency went a step fur
ther-the witnesses were often just
names invented apparently by Mr..
Horton. Horton and Dougherty
not only had a good factory, but
they went after business. Dough-
erty's diary, seized by the Attor-
ney-General and covering four
months, shows that they took in
between $4,000 and $4,000 DUR
ing that short period, and yet they
were hot after more.
The theatrical profession is
known to be always the best Gus
toner of the divorce courts, so the
two set their lines along Broadway.
Horton is said to have solicited
most of the New York theatrical
lawyers.
"He visited me on three occa.
sions," said Harry Saks Heckheim-
er, an attorney with offices at
Broadway and Forty-second street,
in the heart of the theatrical dis
trict. "He said he could get quick
divorces in Rhode Island, but | in
vestigated him and decided that it
was not desirable to deal with him,
and turned him down."
Some of these theatrical clients
became suspicious at the last mo-
ment and refused to go through the
mill. When Irene Castle decided
to divorce Robert Tremane, she,
like the others, was in the worst
kind of hurry, and sought out
Horton, the speed champion. He
assured her that everything would
be as she desired. She need only
leave herself in his hands (and
$4,000. She left herself, but not
the money, and did a little inves-
tigating.
Sure enough, Horton and Dough-
efty always made good. She
looked up former clients. Yes, sir,
their divorces had come through in
quick time and they had married
and reared families on them. What
more could any one ask?
But Mrs. Castle had a bunch.
This mill was too easy, there must
be an Ethiopian in the woodpile
somewhere, and this was a very
important divorce. So she dropped
negotiations for a Rhode Island di-
vorce and hoped over to Paris
and got one. 1t cost $4,000, in
Guiding her expenses, but she knew
just what she was getting and that
it would "take," and it did. That
bit of feminine intuition saved her
from being among the anxior- 800
who now do not know where their
latchkeys fit.

The unicameral legislative reform is

Proposed II Years Ago.
Senator Dowdell first proposed the
plan II years ago, but not until re-
cent years has his innovation found
general support or gained enough sd-
herents to bring it before the Legis-
lature for serious consideration The
State Senate at the 1925 session pass
ed by handsome majority a resolu-
ton by Dowdell submitting to the
amendment TO abolish the House and
Senate and set up the unicameral law
making body. The resolution died in
the House, when adoption of an
unfavorable committee report pre-
vented il from coming to the floor for
debate on its merits, but Senator Dow
dell already is working for its sub
mission to the 1917 Legislature and
he has much strong support in the
State. Among the influential advo-
Gates of the unicameral system is
former Gov. Charles n. Herreid, Re
publican. Many of the newspapers of
the State favor presenting the plan
to the voters for adoption or rejection.
Even If the Dowdell proposal met
with no more setbacks however, it
could not be put into effect until 1880.
A constitutional amendment must he

joint resolution and approval at

TOXIC. June S.-Maj. Pedro Zanni.
Argentine flyer, stated today that the
conveys which were to have assisted
him in his hop across the Pacific
were returning to Seattle this after
noon. His damaged airplane, injury
to which caused abandonment of his
attempt to encircle the globe, is to
be shipped to Argentina.
Maj. Zanni expects to arrive in
New York some time in July, whence
he hopes to receive a new airplane
IN which to fly to Buenos Aires. How
ever, permission for this fight has
not vet been received.
Maj. Zanni said that the abandon
ment of his world fight was neces-
STATED due TO his inability to obtain
a new plane in sufficient time to take
off during the flying season. He said
that the Buenos Aires committee had
been apprised of the circumsta noes
and had consented to the ending of
his world-circling attempt
