Of self-destruction.
She stood facing him. pale, her
head thrown back and her eyes
staring -alight with some strange,
erie quality that Julius Lupino
had never seen before. For a
moment he stood still, watching
her in fascinated suspense; all
fear seemed to have dropped away
from her like a discarded mantle,
and she stood slim and erect; a
new GOODNESS, an aloofness in her
beauty, as though the subtle
languor of her familiar charm had
given way to the dignity Of ap-
preaching death.
Something about Lupino, too,
changed and banking the fires in
his glowing eyes, brought an
amazement that verged upon fear
to his flushed, impassioned face.

FLEET OF IDLE BARGES
UPSETS CANAL TRAFFIC
Rich French Lawyer Refuses to
Sell Craft-Ancient Laws
Protect Him.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS.-Twenty barges that are
neither for sale nor for rent and
which are never used are upsetting
canal navigation in northern France.
Ancient laws and waterway rules
prevent the authorities from inter-
fering with the vagaries of a rich
lawyer who for six years has allowed
the fleet to deteriorate and block
navigation. refusing chances to get
half a million francs for boats that
are only source of trouble.
Ten of the boats are in port at
Rouen and 10 at Conflans-Saint-H Hon
orine. So long as there is a legally
named watchman-even If he doesn't
spend much time watching-the
bdrges can remain in the canals.
Removal of the barges has been
tried by the authorities on all sorts
Of technicalities but the lawyer knows
his rights. and it looks as If the
barges would continue 10 menace nav
igation until the lawyer changes his
mind or the boats actually sink in the
7hannel and have to be destroyed or
removed at public expense.
