the body Of PeIl, from that to the door,
and from the door to us.
AS Wayne stood contemplating the
body of Pell, and manifestly in doubt
as to his next step, there suddenly
entered my head notion which as
stunned large Importance afterward.
Was it possible that we were all
suffering from hallucination? That we
had not seen what we thought we saw?
or that, with our minds strained in one
direction by Pells conduct, they had
been unable to switch off quickly
enough to grasp everything that hap
pened?
Wayne started at movement made
by the constable at the door. The man
bent his head. in the attitude of listen
ing-the sound of voices and steps were
growing louder along the stone corridor.
There was a loud rap on the door.
Wayne gave sign to the constable,
who drew back the bolts and pulled
the door open. 1t swung back toward
us so that we could not see who had
knocked. But I heard the question
asked by the footman.
Gould you come with me, II you
please? There's something wrong"

Marling had joined us when opened
my eyes-for I could not endure the
sight of Wayne passing hands over his
clothing-and the bewildered inspector,
full of suspicion, regarded us with a
deeper frown. Wayne diSbelieved us.
He was going back on his first theory

proud. General Pulaski was hero who gave his life for principle. He was a martyr to the United States, to be sure, but he was more than that. Born of a family that boasted many military notables, he naturally turned his mind to things military A champion of the oppressed, he fought the battles of his homeland and when he saw another nation feeling the yoke of political oppres- sion he hurried to make his con- tribution to the principle of liberty. He enlisted in Washington's army, and in the course of time went to his death fighting for our country He was martyr to that which we all hold to be sacred-frcedom.
 "Reminded today of the great price he and his comrades paid for the freedom of this country, can we hold that freedom lightly? Does it not stir each and every man of us to 8 sense of patriotic duty? Does not Pulaski's sacrifice put to shame those who put private con- sideration above public good? Is would hesitate 10 champion right and condemn wrong?
 'Why are We here today? We are here because of our undying love, respect and gratitude for a great leader, Pulaski. There is no narrow, national interest, it is city wide and countrywide. taking in every nationality and every creed wherever true Americanism exists.
 Tt is well on occasions such as the anniversary of great men that we should celebrate and proclaim to the world our love for things pa triotic. But this will be a hollow celebration, if We do no more than laud the work of a hero and fail to follow the example of patriotism and brotherhood which he set.
 ''The Poles of New Britain, in a different way to be sure, are carry ing on the work of Pulaski. They are numbered among our best citi- zons. They have given us many leaders in public life, have stood out prominently in the professions and in the trades, and have been leaders in our religious life and humani- tarian work. This is the proper way to revere the memory of Pu- lask.
 Many years after this celebra- tion shall have been forgotten we and contemplate the monument which will be erected in his memory. Let us dedicate it a shrine of pa triotism and brotherhood, lasting memcnto of the work of a noble son of Poland"
