Mrs. Perry is at hospital here where

diately was taken to the hospital.

membered little of landing her plane

shop in the basement of the Franklin
Administrative School Building. There
the iron fittings have been removed.
The adjustable irons, which may be
fixed to accommodate the older chill
dren in the classes, are being rcf1n-
ished and stored for further use. The
very old types. which are not adjust
able to different heights, have been
sorted for disposal. Some of these are
being sold as scrap iron. while others
have been carted to the forge shops in
thS senior high schools, where they can
be used by the pupils In making iron
castings.

served continuously for 80 or IS years,
while all have been used for at least is
years.
When the cuts and scratches are
planed of and the desk tops are given
a new smoothness with fine sandpaper,
they are revarnisfed and stored for re-
issuance to other schools.
According to A. c. Loor, superintend-
ent Of the cabinet shop, the cost of re-
finishing a single desk top from the
time it is removed from a classroom
until it is fitted with new iron brackets
and reissued is 81. The cost of the

The poor fellow looked startled. It was easy
to see that he had never been in prison.
His face twitched and he gulped miserably,
but at last he said: You know my record, SO
why ask me?"
Then you persist in the absurd comedy that
you are LIE Breton, Ell? Very WELL you shall

At the signal the door opened, and Nine
Couturier came in hesitatingly, her eyes fixed
longingly on the prisoner. Suddenly with a
glad cry Of 'Alex, Alex, my darling, oh, why
did you leave me?" she darted forward and
threw her arms around his neck. The unex-
pected apparition was too much for the poor
fellow; he clasped the woman conyulsively, while
long Sobs burst from him.
When he had recovered somewhat, Laughton
asked sharply:
Come now, monsieur, we want the truth
Why were you posing as the leader Of these
Smugglers?"
Because he attacked me and killed him

"then I didn't kill you. Thank God!"
kill me-" the other snarled; mo fear, you
only knocked me senseless."
And so at last the fantastic story came out.
Alex Couturier while a student in Paris had
become entangled with waitress in one Of the
cafes of the Latin Quarter. He was young and
inexperienced and had been inveigled into an
unhappy marriage. Too late, he discovered that
the girl was of the dregs without single re-
deeming quality.
After two dreadful years they had sepa-
rated, and while he was on a visit to his people
in Mines, he had read in the papers that she
had been killed in brawl. The years passed,
and he had fallen in love just when his affairs
began to prosper, but since h. did not possess
a certificate Of the death Of his first wife, he
had said nothing, and married the sweet girl
who was now beside him, as q bachelor.
For year he had been perfectly happy. He
loved his wife, and she was devoted to him
And then suddenly a letter came informing
him that his first wife was not dead
The letter which purported to be from her
suggested that her silence could be bought-but
in that case he was to come at once-that same
night, to Marseille. man would meet him
in the buffet at the station and bring him to
her.

Here's a funny thing" he cried the moment
he saw us, we've just measured LIE Breton and

he had ring tattooed on his little finger and

There is no tattooing Of any kind on him."

We looked at each other in amazement, but
Levallois at once guessed what the solution
was.
This fellow is not LIE Breton" he cried.
where are your wits? Probably his leader
will pay him well for taking his place. Mean
while the master criminal is on his way to

"Quite impossible" the chief of the identity
department cried. 1--WE photographed the man,
and there's no mistaking the resemblance to
his former prison picture Paris put the pho
tograph on the wrong card, that is ALL"
WELL I'll look at him anyway" Laughton
said taking me to his CELL"
When we entered we saw a dark middle
aged man, who certainly did not look the des-
perado LIE Breton was supposed to be.
"You are not LIE Breton, eh?" Laughton said
who are you?"
I'm tired of telling you who am" the man
growled; my name is LIE Breton and all my
pals viii confirm 1t. I know what's waiting for
me, so why should take name thatn prob
ably cost me several years in prison, II it were

The next morning Nine. Couturier hand
some, vivacious brunette, arrived at headquar-
terS where we waited expectantly. The chief
at once sent for the prisoner and requested
the wife to wait ip another room, cautioning
her not to come in until she heard him say:

When the man was led in by a gendarme,
saw at once that his courage was ebbing Those
long days and nights In police cell had daunted
him. He was woefully pale and his lips trem-
bled.

amazed at the mans resemblance to himself

was a plot.
