and her voice sounded like the flut-
tering of the sad wind amongst the
wet leaves of the elms.
Where the mischief else can you

touch of irritation. Your clothes are

sobbed. Come backw

She raised herself from the tumbled
mass. He took her face in his hands
and kissed her on the cheeks.
Forget everything except that to-

ness" he begged her.
Nevertheless he left her sobbing.
The end of it all was very much as
Besserley had planned it. Raymond,
with twenty-five mile in his pocket
and a new dancing partner, enjoyed
quite as much success as he deserved
and remained the typical interpreter
of the semi-acrobatic type of dancing
popular in the cabarets of the Riviera.

At $50 things seemed to Cordwood
little confused. He would have sworn
that newspaper correspondent,
canned-cornbeef salesman, and two
congressman who were successfully
investigating the Evils of Drink in
Europe had been at the table with
them, but they seemed. though he
looked all over for them. to have gone
away.
At 4:3O am. he awoke, abed in his
room at the hotel. completely un-
dressed except perhaps for his hat and
shoes and socks. He stared around the
room. There was, apparently, no Les,
no newspaperman, no canned-beef
salesman, not even congressman in
sight, nor anything reminiscent of a
party except large wrapping paper
sign on which was written. apparently
with lipstick. Thanks for the Shet-
land pony - Les and Lily"
Never in his life to the present date
March 10. 1895 - has Cordwood
learned anything more about Lily or
the Shetland pony.
By judicious regimen of bromides.
ice water - the one English phrase
which the night flOor-waiter COM
pletely understood - and walking two
hours before breakfast. Cordwood was
in reasonably good shape when May
belle joined him, for what he now
realized would be nerve-w -wrenching
attack on the Louvre.
She led him rapidly past a bewilder-
ing Worlds Fair Of sculpture, of
mosaics. of enamels, to the Grande
Galerie. and he flinched as he guessed
that he was expected to enjoy the
paintings Of Carpaccio. Bugiardini,
Mantegna. Cosimo. He peered at them
cautiously. Nobody was going to
catch him saying the wrong thing.
Then he was shocked. He actually
liked them! They weren't as slick as
magazine covers maybe or as the
silken ankles which. for unknown
reasons. advertise motor-car bodies,
but they were - oh - homelike, these
kind-faced madonnas and saints in
gold and scarlet robes - just such old
boys, really, as he had known and
yarned with in lumbercamps and
workshops and farmhouses.
He had a seconds dreadful sus-
picion. Maybe. since he actually liked
them. they weren't the real goods,
and Maybelle had led him in here as
practical joke. so that he'd show his
ignorance. But no. she too he
cautiously sneaked in a look over his
shoulder - seemed to appreciate 'em.
Gosh! Suppose he. Cordwood McGash
of Jackrabbit Creek, really was all
okay on this good taste and highbrow
stuff. Wouldn't that knock Perce's eye
out. if he ever learned it! Wouldn't
Reverend Mitch have a fit if that
happened to be true. Gee!
In half an hour Maybelle said. as
though she were forgiving him for
something. well. shall we go on to
another room?"
"Heh? Oh. Oh. no. let's see some
more of these"
And it was she. not Cordwood, who
finally shifted tired feet and rubbed
smarting eyes, and squeaked in small
exhausted voice. Let's 60 now and
come back another day. do love these
Old Masters - well, ! guess l do
but an hour and a half, that's all
can stand at time"

"Heh? Oh - oh, all right Let's
come back this afternoon.
He could not understand it but it
seemed to him that Maybelle Benner
was looking at him with an admiration
she had never exhibited before.
In the Tuileries he hesitated,
''Lookit - uh - we may never be in
Paris again and - uh - take chance
for once and come sit with me at one
of these sidewalk cafes. You know.
Interesting to watch the crowds
and -"
well. uh," she said intelligently.
She seemed to like the small marble
topped tables, the blue siphons, the
early July sun through the striped
yellow awnings. She sighed, not un-
happily. and she almost made Cord
wood blush by boldly taking off her
eyeglasses, when suddenly her naked
eyes seemed quite human.
To the waiter she murmured,
Coffee"
Cordwood ventured, Say Id kind

morning and -"
"Oh, have your brandy and soda"
She sounded a little weary. You'll
have it sooner or later. anyway, so
you might as well indulge your carnal
tastes openly"

"Yessum."
"You would be an atrocious person
to try to handle. You'd be so meek
and so conscious of your general
plumb low-down worthlessness nine
tenths of the time, and then just
when some one had your feet all nicely
planted on the straight and narrow.
you'd jump off it and 60 scooting off
through the sagebrush, snickering.
don't know what I'm going to do
with you!"
He could hear it no doubt about
it. no illusion at all - he could hear
his own voice saying, with CHASTITY
hollow mirth, well, you might marry
me-" But he didn't quite say it, though
he knew that he was probably doing a
dirty trick in failing to do what was
so clearly expected. He choked it
down. He stopped his mouth with
revivifying brandy and soda and
when he had done coughing, he said
hastily:
Didn't know if I'd like those old
pictures or not but. by golly, they're
kind of interesting. Don't suppose the
French Government would sell some of
'em, do you? Be nice to take 'em back
to Jackrabbit. That would cer'nly
make Blizzard Junction jealous!'
"Yes. l should think they'd be
about as willing to sell them as to sell
Napoleon's tomb"
''Oh, now, rats, Maybelle, you're
kidding me- They'd never sell Napo-
Icons tomb. Or would they? That
w0uid be something to have in Jack
rabbit!'
As they trudged back to the hotel,
he felt that the trusting companion
ship in which they had sat down at the
cafe had somehow been frosted over.

C, ]. LAW SCHOOL
y REGISTRAR DIES
Thomas J. Hurney Victim of
Streptococcic Infection
of Throat.

Thomas J. Hurney, registrar Of the
Georgetown School Of Law for the
past 16 years and former practicing
attorney here, died suddenly last night
at his home, 613 South Carolina ave-
nue. southeast. He was IS years old.
Death was caused by a streptococcic
Infection of the throat which affected
his heart. He was brother Of the
late Rev. Francis j. Hurney. for many
years rector of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception, who died
about two years ago.
Mr.. Hurney had attended to his
duties at the Law School on Thursday

sore throat. He went to the luncheon
meeting of the District of Columbia
Alumni Club of the Law School, of
which he was secretary, that same
day, but later in the afternoon de-
cided to 60 home. He felt worse yes
terday and by night his condition
became critical.
A native of Washington, Mr.. Hur-
ney was educated at st. Pauls Paro-
chial School and attended the George
town Law School. He was graduated
in 1911 with an LII. B. degree and the
year following received his masters
degree in law. After his graduation
he entered the law Office Of Hanil-
ton and Hamilton in Washington,
George e. Hamilton, senior member
Of the firm being dean of the George
town Law School.
During the World War Mr.. Hurney
served in the Army and was an active
member of the Vincent Costello Post
of the American Legion. Some years
ago he married Miss Lorraine Wall
of Washington, who was formerly
secretary to the then president of
Georgetown University, Rev. John B.
Creeden, S. j.
Mr.. Hurney Joined the staff Of
the law school in 1919 as register
and had been very active in alumni
affairs of the school. He assisted in
.reorganizing the local alumni last
year.
He is survived by his widow and
three children, Thomas j., jr.; Lor-
raine and Francis j. Hurney and
three brothers.
Arrangements are being made fol
the funeral Tuesday.

ports Inability to Supply
Demand.

The harbinger of q return to the
acute servant problem here is indi-
Gated by reports from the District
Public Employment Center Of an un-
precedented demand for household
workers.
All week Washington housewives
have deluged the center with calls for
domestic servants, Edgar B. Young,
manager, reported today. Since Mon
day, 279 new openings were received,
of which ia positions remained un-
filled. A call has been sent out for
unemployed persons previously reg
istered at the center to renew their
registrations.
While the Easter holiday is largely
responsible for the increased demand
for household workers. Young said
most of the positions offered would be
permanent.
Although several thousands Of un-
employed domestic workers are regis
tered at the Office, only those who
meet the necessary qualifications are
referred to employers who report
openings.
