She had laughed. She knew John
Sutton. She knew him better than
any OF them. She had secured his
devotion by artiflce and cunning, by
portraying role at which she had
proved herself featured player. Her
warning, her offer to let John back
out OF their contract had been neatly
timed. superbly uttered. John SUIT
ton, though he had been unaware of
it, could and would not have taken
advantage of her suggestion, because,
as Mary well knew. he was too honest.
She had voiced the one thing that
might sometime come between them,
and voicing it had dissipated its
effectiveness.
Reggie Clifford was part of Mary's
life. Pretending to be Johns closest
friend, Reggie took advantage of the
privileges his position offered. Reggie
discovered and Mary discovered that
each was gifted with common quail
ties-a love for adventure and danger
and wild living. And together they
INDUCED these passions without John
Sutton knowing about it. To both of
them John Sutton was harmless.
+ +
RUT there came time when John
Sutton returned from a fishing
trip and found his wife away and was
told that she had gone to a certain
resort with Reggie Clifford. Suspicion
did not enter his heart until he ar
rived at the resort and went to the
hotel where Mary was stopping and
found Reggie there with her.
Reggie and Mary believed they
knew John Sutton, but neither had
seen the look that now came into his
eyes. 1t puzzled them. Fear dwelt
In their hearts. Here was q different
man, and there seemed to be murder
IN his expression. They sought es-
cape by the quickest means possible,
which happened to be the fire escape.
John Sutton let them go. It was
what ne wanted, because there were
people who witnessed the fight and
saw John Sutton come to the fire es-
cape balcony and watch the hasty
departure. There would be no trouble
now in accomplishing his purpose.
The result would be the one thing
that John Sutton wanted more than
anything else. Freedom.
The look that had been in his ewes
had not been murderous. It had been
anxiety. Fear that they would stand
their ground and offer IN explana-
ton, q situation with which he might
have been unable to cope.
But neither Mary nor Reggie, who
knew, him best, had recognized that
expression.

lieved his friends would receive her
accept her.
The men did. There was some
thing about her that attracted men,
sort of wild beauty, subtle appeal
cunning. They accepted her, but
not because Of recognition Of equal
qualities.
The women hated her. There was
q small group who hated her because
she had captured John. There were
others who resented her for what she
was. There was a third group who
not only hated but feared her. be-
cause of the looks that came into the
eyes of their men whenever she ap-
peared.
For the most part they were subtle
about it. And John Sutton was blind
to how they felt. John Sutton was
simple man. straightforward,
honest personality.
There was no limit to the manner
in which he humored his wife. Her
extravagances did not annoy him.
They amused him. He took whole
hearted delight in indulging her
whims.
The transition was slow. Very slow.
Gradually, incredibly, John Sutton
saw the situation in all its hideous-
ness; saw that his wife stood alone,
that she was the object of contempt
and scorn; that she was thought of
as flamboyant and loud and coarse.
The knowledge enraged him.
He had been used to buying what
ever he wanted. He would buy his
wife place in society.
This determination he kept to him.
self. He went about it in the only
manner he knew-by lavish spending
by creating situations in which his
wife was thrown into contact with
the great, the rich, the famous.
+ + X X
THE plan was less than half sue
cessful. Frustration beset him.
Then came period in which whisper
ings reached his ears. Mary was
taking advantage of him. Mary was
being disloyal. Mary could never find
her place in the life he had always
known and where he wanted her to
be. Women hated her. Men desired
her.
Thus another transition occurred in
Sutton's mind. An awakening, an
understanding. He saw Mary as
others saw her.
Yet he would not allow himself to
believe. He remembered her warn
ing, her offer to him to back out be-
fore 1t was too late. She had been
fair. She had anticipated this. The
situation was not of her making. She
had shown strength Of character

ROCKVILLE. Md, Oct. l8-Mayor
Douglas M. Blandford realized one of
his most cherished ambitions today
when Workmen began to remove the
abandoned street car tracks, which
have shaken motorists driving on
Rockville's main street for years.
The street car tracks and the holes
and bumps surrounding them have
been a sore spot with Mayor Bland
ford since the memory of Rockville
residents runneth not to the contrary.
The three-cornered deal between the
town of Rockville. the Capital Tran
sit Co. and the Maryland State Roads
Commission not only resulted in re-
moval of the tracks and laying of new
pavement but netted the town neat
$4,000 clear profit.
Many Rockvilleites can recall the
April evening three years ago when
the Mayor, incensed at his inability
to get the Capital Transit Co. to re-
pair several gaping holes which had
reached the proportions Of traflc haz-
ards, stepped out into the middle Of
the car tracks. AS the car screeched
to stop his honor raised his hand
and announced in words to this effect:
Il am Mayor of Rockville, and your
car isn't going any farther until the
company repairs these holes"
The motorman expostulated. but the
Mayor was firm. He obtained a chair

Finally, the motorman discharged his
passengers and turned back A Sec
ond car met the same fate. Later
the Mayor decided on direct action.
He ordered out the town road main
tenance crew. repaired the holes-and
sent the Capital Transit Co. the bill.
Mayor Blandford's reputation for COL
lectlng is good.
The company shortly afterward
abandoned street car service and sub
stituted buses. but Mayor Blandford
never gave up. Last June he signed
an agreement on behalf of the town
to relieve the Capital Transit Co. Of
all liability for removing the tracks
and repaving its former right Of way
for the sum of $4,000.
The Mayor then offered the IS 900
to the State Roads Commission if it
would repave the street, part of the
State arterial highway system, at once
The commission replied that 1t would
repave the street in October in ac-
cordance with present plans, but that
it would be glad to have the $4,000
anyhow.
The Mayors answer was that as
long as Rockville had to wait until
October the $4,000 might as we'll stay
in the town treasury as salve for
all the humping and jogging its resi-
dents had been subjected to during
the last several years.

M'LEAN STATUS
RULING FRIDAY
Court Will Decide if Former
Publisher Is Legal Resident
Here. =

Justice Bolitha j. Laws In District
Court will consider on Friday morn
ing the question of whether Edward
B. Mclean, adjudged a lunatic and
former publisher of the Washington
Post, was legally don1iciled in the Dis
trict of Columbia, and whether prior
legal proceedings here should be de-
clared null and void.
The problem comes to the fore at
this time on motion to strike the
auditors report and strike objections.

nent Washington attorney.

rounding the Mclean estate. MIR. Can
field made an investigation and factual
report. In June he challenged the
right Of the auditor to pass on Ger
tain questions. holding that Mr. Nc
Lean was never domiciled anywhere
else but the District of Columbia.
Testimony was taken to establish the
question of Mr.. McLean's residence,
and Mr.. Garfield brought forward
testimony, including tax returns, pass
port applications. etc, to show that
the former publisher was domiciled
here. Mr.. Garfield contends that Neil
Burkinshaw, attorney for Admiral
Bristol, offered no contradictory testi-
mony.

determine the question as to whether
Admiral Bristol or Mr. Garfield shall
be legally in control of Mr.. McLean's
property here. The former publisher
is confined as a mental case to the
Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital
at Baltimore. Md Admiral Bristol
contends that Mr. Mclean abandoned

crime had admitted to holding up the
same store on October for revenge"
Their loot amounted to 81.
No estimate of the amount of money
taken by the hold-up men in their
crimes could be determined just yet,
police said, as 1t had not been deter
mined definitely how many establish
ments they had victimized.

chief of the robbery squad, said, the
men blackened their faces with burnt
cork in an effort to conceal their
identity. The same method was en-
ployed by another gang which police
broke up about two years ago after
shooting and killing one member.
1t. Fowler said his squad had been
