The Myth and the Exception.
(New York Times. ]

Once upon time it would have been said that the story of Eugene Dieudonne reads like a romance hard-boiled generation which does not believe in romance must find other term. Deudonne sentenced to death a member of bandit gang in France, and his sentence commuted to life Imprisonment on Devils Island, escaped recaptured, but because of extenuatng circumstances has been par doned. On Wednesday in Paris he remar- ried to his former wife, who had divorced him at his own request at the time of his condemna- tion She had waited sixteen years for him, sup porting their child in the meanwhile by her labor.
 Justice asserting itself in the long and la woman's constancy that will endure for sixteen years do not fit in with the sophisticated inter pretation of human behavior and destiny And 1t need not be claimed that the of Deudonne is the norm of human fate. On the other band, the skeptic of another generation who will wave away the Dieudonne story myth is to be commiserated We are too apt to say the ex- ceptional is the mythical It may be romanticism to evalulate life by it's high peaks of hero ism or devotion good fortune. But the "de- bunker who insists that there such peaks is himself talking bunk.

days the ape family looked with Sus-
picion on the men, but finally came to
regard them as of no account.
GorilIas March Forward.
The jungle was pervaded by an eternal
twilight into which only stray rays of
sunshine penetrated 1t was intensely
dense. All day long the gorillas would
march forward, the men following them.
The party was completely lost and was
guided only by the compass
They proceeded, with the female with
the baby in her arms in advance. Be
hind her came the three other females,
and, last of all, the old male, the hus-
band and father, walked as a rear
guard. Every night they halted The
mother and baby would climb into a
low tree, find convenient crotch and
go to sleep. The three other females
would sleep in the same tree, little
lower. The male would stretch HIM
self at the foot of the tree and sleep
with lone eye open"
With such system Of protecting the
infant, the only possibility was to keep
on the trail until the family got care
less and allowed the female with the
baby to drop behind. This they were
likely to do when they had a thorough
contempt for the men.
The trail was followed for II days
Finally the female got about SO yards
behind. The others were not watching
her. One of the pigmies shot her with
a poisoned arrow. This was no more
than a pin-prick Mr. Buck says. She
felt it so slightly that she didn't cry
out to attract the attention of the 9TH
ers, evidently thinking it was no more
than briar scratch.
Poison Works Slowly.
The poison in her blood worked very
slowly. For an hour they followed

going more and more slowly, swaying
slightly. The others were going ahead

Wife 'TATTLES';

Rules Mans Liquor Safe,
Must Have Warrant.

A man has some rights that even

Municipal Judge Paul c. Wetter be-
lieves.
One of them is to keep fifteen
gallons of white mule whisky in his
home safe from the clutches Of the
law unless police observe legal

Judge Wetter Friday took under
advisement a liquor charge against
Earl Ross, 1901 Dawson ST., while
he seeks legal authority to confirm
his opinion in the case.
Mrs. Ross, according to the
e-'idence, called police headquarters
on Aug. 25 and told Capt. Walter
Claffey she would show where her
husband had his liquor stored.
When Captain Claffey said he
would send Sergt. Michael Yates as
soon as he obtained search war
rant, Mrs. Ross replied:
"You won't need search war;
rant. I'll give you permission to
search the house"
But Judge Wetter indicated Fri
day he believes Mrs. Ross had no
right to give such permission; that
police had no right to search the
home without warrant.
"a wife cannot take his consti-
tutional rights away from her hus-
band" he said.
Police found fifteen gallons of
liquor behind a trap door in the
top of a closet at the Ross home.

48 Hours After Worst TrOp-

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. Is
Forty EIGHT hours after the worst
tropical hurricane in history struck
this island, residents were still trying
today to estimate the damage.
So widespread was the destruction
that no one would venture an
estimate of the property damage.
From the interior of the island came
meager and intermittent reports,
giving hints of disaster even greater
than that in San Juan where thou

Asks Red Cross Aid
Hundreds of persons were being
housed In public buildings here to-
day while families which had be-
come separated during the con-
fusion we're being reunited.
Horace M. Towner, Governor of
the Island, said the government was
ready to push the relief work imme-
diately.
He asked for the cooperation of
the Red Cross, explaining that re-
lief measures were handicapped by
the lack of transportation facilities.
Light and power service will not be
restored until tomorrow, and mean
while the officials are making sur
vey of the situation in omnibuses.
Suburb in Ruins
La Perla, a suburb of San Juan,
is in ruins, and it is impossible to
estimate the number of dead and
injured. Additional police are be-
ing enlisted rapidly to patrol the
island and aid in the relief work.
Apparently all crops have been
