lady's too-sympathetic glance had
struck tinder in he mind.
Bessie, coming pantingly to snchor
beside her, dropped heavily into a
chair. Bessie's impossibly high-keyed
spirits had suffered the inevitable
slump Bessie was frankly on the
verge of tears-foolish, maudlin tears,
that made her listeners vaguel' uneasy
and ashamed.
Make him apologize, Bill" she kept
insisting in tiresome reiteration
Make George 'pologize to me, Bill

from the sitting confines OF this room,
with its press of weaving figures, scent
Of expensive perfumes, cloyingly sweet
odogs Of flowers, Of food and of warm,
darfcing shadows into the cool,
odorous dark outside, shot with the
silver lightning that showed through
the windows. Away from Larry-this
strange Larry she did not know. Away
from the jibing whispers that vibrated
steadily from that group about the
table in the alcoVe.
George. exhibiting really Surpris-
ing skill for caricature, has been busy
for some time with soft black pen
cil. sketching something on the back
Of the menu. He held 1t up now, with
his disconcerting bawl Of laughter.
George had drawn a corner of the
table where sat the Therrold party,
and with a sickening lunge Of her
heart Rose recognized the fact that
the roughly blocked in black and white
figures bore a startling resemblance to
their subjects. He had caught with
amazing fidelity the sharp profile Of

some chink in the armor of their self
sufflciency that could hurt them as
they had hurt her. The surge Of her
inner emotions seemed to beat and
pulse through her very being.
Reaching blindly behind her, she
caught up her cloak from the chair
with swift. unsteady fingers. A
strange, unaccountable shiver passed
through her. To get home to Kitten,

sprawled over the table there it

her crib. Stop it! Don't cry here,

Without warning, without noise, the
thing that had been threatening all
evening suddenly happened. Bill
Price, rising from his chair beside
Rose, struck George McCloud a crash
ing blow in the face George went
down like a sack of sand, Sprawling
where he fell. Mrs. George, her vocal
powers rallying from their stunned
silence. screamed violently and with
variations
Bessie. blubbering and scrambling
out of range of the thrashing Bill, fell
heavily against Rose. And through it
all Larry Morgan slumbered in his
chair, on his face the untroubled
smile of child.
Stunned and alone in sea of alien,
accusing faces, Rose stood for a mo-
ment, too numbed to realize what had
happened. Some one was screaming,

naughty disdain: the fiuttering elbows
OF the woman beside her at the table
and lifelike reproduction of Jeffrey
Therrold himself. Holding the card
aloft for the others to see, Georgia let
out shattering yell Of triumph.
Some one else, Rose realized with
an almost physical sensation of shame,
had also seen what was on that card.
Jeffrey Therrold, turning his somber
gaze toward the noise, had given her
a long, clear look, a coldly appraising
look, before which her own eyes had
wavered and fallen.
"Oh, pleased" she had faltered in
an agonized, strangled whisper.
Bill Price, less bemussed than the
others, had caught the desperate, suf-
fering note in her voice
Look here, George, you can't do
thing like that!" he said sharply,
driven to decent remonstrance. you'll

"Let him alone, let him sleep 1t off,"
Again that CLINT of something deep in
the shallow depths of Mrs. McCloud's
eyes. Rose, intent on retrieving the
now forgotten menu card, did not no

look of smothering fury and contempt
Barbara Therrold had leveled at her
as she passed en- route to the dressing

Fear went over her like thick wall
of fog. From somewhere outside came
a sharp clap of thunder, louder than
the noise in the room. Some one was
standing beside her, some one she
seemed to know. The mannequin fig
ures about her, gesticulating through
the smoke, seemed to retreat hazily
into the background. The music OF

to shatter into splinters Of tangled

clinging helplessly to Jeffrey Their

grimly matter of fact. he guided her
forward toward the door. The dim

drifted slowly backward. scattering
unconsciously before his tall, purpose

Still without words, Jeffrey Their

his roadster and slammed the door.

swiftness roared down the ribbon of

United States Attorney Leslie c.

pointment as one Of his assistants
of George E. Mcneil, who has been

Mcneil will be assigned to criminal

He. was to be sworn in this afternoon.

by one OF the officers to give Hodges
at the propitious moment.
As soon as the bill was passed and
Hodges walked from the dressing
room. the two local policemen ar
rested him and took him to head
quarters, where he was questioned by
Detective Chief Frank S. w. Burke.
After q conference with Assistant
United States Attorney Irwin Gold
stein. police placed a formal charge
Of extortion against Hodges. Gold
stein set $4,000 as the amount of bail,
but Hodges failed to raise it and
spent the night in a cell.
Fails to Find Extortion.
Goldstein went to the theater last
night to confer with Miss Mayfair
and her mother and 1t was then that
he learned that Mrs. Mayfair had
offered Hodges the money and that
he had accepted it.
'tExtortion," Goldstein explained
today, means obtaining money under
a threat. There was no threa. in
this case and, therefore, no extor-
ton. For that reason, ordered the
release of Hodges"
Throughout the time he was at
headquarters Hodges professed in
nocence Of any crime and, according
to police today, asked repeatedly why
he was being held.

in the report, nor was he confronted
by the witnesses against him and
given an opportunity TO hear their
testimony and cross-examine them
and then offer evidence in his own de-
fense. Nor was he permitted to be
represented by counsel of his own
choosing. All of these rights are
sacred to every American citizen and
are guaranteed by the Constitution.
Request for Records Denied.
Mai. Gen. Foulois states that he
has repeatedly requested that he be
furnished with a copy Of the full rec
ord of the evidence which formed the
basis of the report and recommended
ton and that this request has not
as yet BEEN granted.
This situation places me in most
difficult and embarrassing position.
because, In the first place the accused
has not had full opportunity to exam
inc or to refute the evidence against
him; second, I, myself, do not know
what this evidence is except to the
limited extent it is set forth in the
report; and, finally, have not Deen
called upon to evaluate the evidence
or make any decision in the case, but
to the contrary, and, in effect, pre-
cluded from following such a course,
due to the findings and recommends
tions of the committee.
Being convinced that the commit
tee is as Solicitous as I am that
complete justice be done in this case,
I feel that the only step now open to
me Is to transmit to the committee
the partial statement of Maj. Sen.
Foulois to the end that the committee
may consider whether he should net
now be permitted to have full access
to the evidence against him and then
appear before the committee to pre-
sent his defense"
