wife"
my dear, there was no forgiving
about it," my cousin interrupted.
There was nothing to forgive! You
may be sure Mildred saw to that. She
sauntered in, half way through lunch
con, apologized to me for being late,
patted the top of Toms head and told
him that, as he wouldn't trouble to re-
pair the foot path from the church,
she'd had to come the whole way round
by the road.
1T was superbly done, though I
thought the reference to church was
periOuSly near blaSphemy. She never
asked why Tom wasn't in London.
Though something was quite obviously
the matter, she refused to notice it.
And without saying a word, in a way
that I can only call magnificent, she
denied his right to question her OF
wonder about her or even speak to her
until she'd suggested, hypnotically,
what he was to say. BY the end OF
luncheon, it was Tom who had come
to heel.
Afterwards, when we were alone, she
kept up the same attitude with me.
And, my dear, with the same result!
You might have thought I should be
taken into her confidence, but the only
reference she made to her absence was
to say that she had fully intended
only to be away one night. No regrets,
no apologies, no thanks, either to me
or her guardian devil for getting her
out OF an appalling scrape!
IF, in fact, she had been meeting
Rodney somewhere, she may have felt
a certain delicacy in thanking me for
| helping to cover up her tracks; but I
don't know, I don't suppose I ever
shall know, whether she did meet him.
Later on, as you'll hear, she pretended
that such a thought had never en-
tered her mind, but Mildred is natural
ly such a liar However, you
may say I'm not the person to cast
stones on that score. I was too sore
about the whole business to discuss
it with my maid, or I might have found
out something.
"All I a tell you is that, when 1
tried to pierce Mildred'S armor by in
curing after her rheumatism, she said
very deliberately that it was better,
but that she believed she would have
to take a cure at Vichy, after all.
II made an excuse to leave next day.
Whatever had been the purpose un-
DERIVING my invitation, I felt I'd full
filled 1t generously. If l hadn't kept
Mildred out of mischief, as Tom hoped.
at least I'd tided them over the worst
crisis of their married life. I'd been
the trusted old friend, with a ven-
eeance! When she'd finished estab-
fishing her ascendancy over him Mil
dred began to behave as though she
we're almost fond OF poor. doting Tom.
The last time / met them they were
coming out OF Boucheron's. Mildred
told me 1t was the anniversary Of their
wedding day.

I'm 1nO Isl AAtA XnO
THERE was such an air Of murder
about Tom that l wondered why
he didn't go straight out with his
gun instead of asking me questions
of which he didn't believe a single one
of the answers. I can't describe the
scene We hadl Terrible! He was like
a mailman!
Il wouldn't give in. though! And
gradually it dawned on me that he
did half believe what l was telling
him. I don't to this day know whether
he was blufiing when he talked about
his reasons for believing that Mildred
had gone to the Hall, but I realized
he was bluffing when he barked ont
It's not truel' Why can't VOL be

until he became positively insulting
and when I asked him to excuse me
he flung off to the library, vowing that
he would instruct his solicitors to in

still there. writing like mad and leav-
ing me to starye. when luncheon was
announced.
Il don't know whether this was
bluff, too; with a violent tempered man

jealous you can't tell for certain, but
l didn't dare give a hint that I was
weakening. / told the butler to ask
him if he would mind my beginning

hunger. That brought him back to
the attack in no timel Perhaps he
thought l could be starved into a con-

He f1ourished a letter in my face
and asked me if I still denied that
Mildred had been away since Friday.

Sultan of Abyssinia Buys Auto
 Painted Flaming Red for Himself

Washington. Juiy 22 LP}-Some- where in the mountains reaches of the province of Jimma, Abyssinia, where roads are little more than trails, is vivid red American auto mobile, its contented owner being the ultra rich sultan of the province.
 Surrounded by his entourage of many servants, the sultan went to Adds Ababa, capital of Abyssinia. Tn showroom Of an automobile agency was an American car paint ed a beautiful green, the holy'color Of the Moslems. Sultan Jifar blew the horn, smoothed the upholstery and particularly admired the color Across the street was a rival agency, whose cars were painted a dazzling red. The sultan pondered his prob- lem and chose the red car.
 A report to the state department from the American legation in Addis Ababa said that in addition to the $500 paid for the car, the sultan readily paid an American taxi-driver sb26 to take the car to his province on river rafts and is now spending many thousands of dollars con- structing crude roads. Meanwhile, the sultan meditates on the joy which will be his with the first ride.

GANDHpS FAITHFUL
 OPP0SINGLIQUOR
Indians Campaign Against Ma
 tive IntOXiCantS

Bombay, July 22 LP)-Mahatma Gandhis civil resistance movement, which began with salt raids and fol- lowed with boycotting of British goods, now is renewing activity against native liquor.
 Women disciples of Gandhi have done some picketing of liquor and foreign cloth shops since the move ment opened March 12, but yester- day they showed their force at an auction here of saloon licenses.
 The sale had been well advertised and was held at the town hall, yet so successful was the women's cam paign that no bids were offered for the 30 licenses.
 Women Assemble
 Long before time for the auction ger to call for bids, women headed by Mrs. Hansa Metha. president of the Bombay provincial congress committee, assembled before the en- trance to the hall.
 The police loaded them into patrol wagons and took them to the station. Another group stepped up and was as speedily carted away. Just as the auction closed others appeared for duty.
 Forty-six were arrested. All were released after the sale closed.
 Official action jn the liquor ques- tion was taken by the Bombay Municipal Corporation. The favorite native drink is toddy, derived from the sap of the toddy palm. and it is against this beverage that the na- tionalists campaigned most strong ly. The corporation decided yester- day by a vote of 33 to 2S that the municipal palms henceforth should not be leased for production of the rdrink.
 Loss of S19,OOO
 This will mean an annual loss of some s19,000 in gold for the city revenues, as about 10000 toddy palms in the corporation limits here tofore have been leased!-

SECTION 0F SEWER
 IS FOUND ROTTED
City May Have to Relay Main
 Under Hartford Avenue

Investigation into the strip Of culvert which runs westward under Hartford avenue yesterday disclosed the fact that the brick construction had given way in some places and that a block existed. This check up was recommended by the mayor before work was begun on the new extension to the culvert. The, in- vestigation proved that something would have to be done with the old section and the feasibility of re- constructing tn centre project with g new course was gone into last night and was referred to the city engineer for further investigation. He was instructed to estimate the cost of reconstruction.
 Chairman Ernest N. Humphrey explained that the delay in the West Main street paving job was occa- stoned by the fact that the board was insisting that the Connecticut Company relay new ties over this section as the present lot were found to be in terrible condition and would tend to destroy any paving that might be placed there.
 Must Remove Fine Old Tree
 A tree located on Pearl street in front of the recently constructed garage of the Southern New Eng land Telephone Co. will have to be removed before the garage will be accessible for the company's trucks. it was stated. Regret was expressed at this, because the tree in question is one of the finest in the city. The engineer was directed to arrange for it's removal.
 The board ordered curbs be laid on Monroe street from Arch to Lincoln streets. on both sides. on or before October 1. The same action was taken relative to Homestead avenue and Buell. street from South Main to Bassett street.
 A petition relative to the develop ment and acceptance of Everett street was read and was laid over awaiting an inspection.
 A petition for a sewer extending 500 feet on Norton road was dis cussed and the case of the petition CT was heard. Following this the board decided to construct the sewer and agreed to start the work sometime about September 1.
 Discuss Two New Bridges
 A dicussion of the cost Of the construction of bridges over Willow brook at Brooklawn and Harding streets was held, during which Mayor Quigley asked the board whether the property owners were to be assessed for benefits for the mprovements. and it was decided that this course should be taken.
 A petition for the construction of a subway from Hartford avenue to Beaver street was laid on the table.

 IN PEACE PROJECT
Delegation Rather Hopeless Of
 Success, However

London, July 22 P}-Bombay dis patches to London newspapers say that Sir lei Banhadur Sapru and M. Jayakar will visit Mahatma Gandhi today in their peace making effort but are rather hopeless of the suc- cess of their mission.
 Sapru is quoted as saying that while the conversations with the na- tionalist leader in jail at Poona will last for two days, he is not confident of results. He said he believed that Gandhi was not aware of late de- velopments in the civil resistance movement, however, and that he would emphasize the harm done by the campaign in an effort to induce the leader to compromise with the government.
