Of this in coming upon one of

was torn into ribbons as if
the children had struggled for

else then caught his eye. It
dangled from a low palm frond
in q way that was not in

ment. These curious fruits Of
the palm were Linda's shoes.
The laceS were knotted and
some impish youngster had
tossed them over the palm leaf
stem. It looked as if this act
had been inspired by malice
because the shapely foot gear
could not be crowded on to
the Splay feet of any Of the
party. He managed to knock
them free with a thrown stick.
Jerome was so pleased that
he hurried back without fur

to the steep ledge that made

the noise of the little fall

came therefore unaware upon

PARIS, July 20 G.N.S0-The
French Cabinet will meet today
for a showdown on the StaviSky
charges which Andre Tardieu,
Minister of State. leveled against
Camille Chautemps, leader of the
largest party in the government,
the Radical Socialists.
The meeting was called at the
request Of Edouard Herriot, for
mer premier and most prominent
of the Radical Socialists, who tele-
phoned Premier CASTOR Dou-
mergue and insisted on the Spe-
cial session Of the Cabinet even
although the premier was unable
to return to Paris in time to at
tend it.
In his absence Henri Cheron,
minister of justice, will preside.
M. Herriot will be there having
hurried from Geneva where he
was resting when the storm broke.
Some quarters expect him to
demand the elimination of M.
Tardieu from the government.
The charge will be that M. Tar
dieu has broken the political truce
agreed upon when this govern
ment was forced at the height of
