CAST OF CHARACTERS
CHAPTER xxIv

My dear fellow, you're talking sheer nonsense!"
 An incredulous expression swept over Fenelon's face as he repeated Ladds words in the receiver. Ar rest Mary Franklin for the murder of Duke Martin! She didn't do 1t any more than did. I certainly won't arrest her."
 Obviously puzzled by Ladd's de- mand, the police commissioners tones took on the soothing quality he might use in addressing a child. After all, she is your own em- ploye."
 Then, as Ladd continued to talk, Fenelon showed by his manner that he was partially convinced, "You say that she phoned from Martins apartment to top off the Gazette and then hung up before she could be questioned? Hmm. I admit it's curious. Maybe she does know more than we think. Well, if you insist, I'll send Jim Chase up to get her."
 For several minutes after Ladd phoned, the commissioner leaned back in his chair, the fingers of one hand carefully resting against the outstretched fingers of the other. His gray eyes were thought ful.
 Half an hour later Mary was facing Chase in her living room.
 q don't understand" she said. 'You've come to arrest me. Why?"
 Commissioners orders, Miss Franklin" Chase's blue eyes were gentle and guileless, and his round face, with its understanding fea- lures, revealed nothing.
 "This is absurd" cried Mary. 'Tn call the office" Then she stopped suddenly after she'd re- covered from the first shock. "But at least you can tell me what I'm being arrested for"
 "The murder of Duke Martin" ]"
 She was colorless but cool now.
 "Well, anyway it's 8 worthwhile murder" she remarked ironically. May I get my hat and coat, or do you trust me alone? could escape through the garden"
 "5'll trust you, Miss Franklin" :" Chase smiled. This isn't the first time we've met"
 "No. that's so, and on the same story" called back Mary, as she

FRENCH-AMERICAN MEETING JUNE B
Plans Afoot to Reorganize Republican Club for Fall
 Election Campaign

Plans are being formulated to re- organize the French-American Re- publican club for fall election cam paign. The first organization meet ing took place two weeks ago when temporary officers were elected and 6 committee name to assist them. Republican Town Committee Chair man J. Warren Upson and Alder man Thomas Bane were present at this meeting and contributed valu- Nable information, particularly re- garding the city charters amend ments will be effective in the event that the proposed city manager plan is rejected at the referendum in October.
 This session was held in the form of an informal gathering and Re- publican Town Chairman Upson was asked number of questions pertaining to the party's general poli- cies. His audience was exceptional ly friendly.
 William L. Cambigue, former president of the club, was elected chairman and Fred R. Boucher was elected recording secretary. The re- organization committee consists of Alfred E. Pepin, Homer R. Bernier, Dr. Louis J. Thibault, Sr., Wilfred Bibeau, Wilfred Nadeau, MT. and Mrs. Raoul Lamoureux, Mrs. Rose Lord, Atty. Edward J. Balthasar, Omer Archambault, George Frigon and Mrs. Alfred E. Pepin, Mrs. Pepin is member of the Republi- can town committee.
 Attorney Balthazar, Dr. Thibault and MT. Pepin have been active in Republican party affairs for some 25 years and will probably be retain ed in an advisory capacity in the new organization. Others have been active in the party for number of years but the majority of those who attended the first meeting have never been active in politics before.
 A mass meeting has been called for Friday evening. June g, at the Franco-American Social club, where all committee meetings have been held during the last two weeks.
 Leaders in the movements feel that the reorganization of the club at an early date is essential because of the complexity of the local poli- tical situation. They believe that the many changes in the city char ter will require much study and that the prospect of Republican victory this fall justify the planning of ac- tivities through the summer. En- thusiasm has been gaining momen- tum since the first meeting and # 1s expected that the organization will be rebuilt to its former numer- 1cal strength and effectiveness.

Little Tree-CIimbers
Are Carefully Guarded
Against Weather

HOLLANDIA, Netherlands New
Guinea. May 27 (By Wireless to
NAN.A).-Four tree climbing kan
garoos from the wilds of New
Guinea are on their first sea voy-
age, en- route to the United States,
where they will be exhibited to the
American public.
Almost domesticated after an
existence of several months in the
base camp of the American Museum
of Natural History expedition here,
the peculiar marsupials require spe-
cial care as they pass through a
variety OF climes on their long
journey.
They are treated with all the
solicitude of child by DR.. William
Richardson, young mammalogist of
the expedition, who is escorting
them to America and refers to them
as his family"
Fears Weather Changes.
DR.. Richardson fears mostly the
transition from equatorial New
Guinea to the winter of Australia,
now approaching its lowest tenn
peratures. The animals will be
transferred from the small steam
ship which is bringing them from
Hollandia to Australia at Sydney,
July 21, when they will be placed
aboard the Matson liner Mariposa
bound for Los Angeles. They will
be taken to the San Diego Zoo,
where two will remain permanently.
The other pair eventually may be
sent to the New York Zoo, DR..
Richardson said
The kangaroos were captured in
the Cyclop Mountains, behind Hol-
landia, and exhibited such friendly
tendencies they were adopted by
the base camp as its prize pets.
They were given virtual freedom
OF the premises. and were exceed
ingly well-behaved. Standing no
taller than the average-sized man,
they have the ability to scale trees,
In much the same fashion as does
the New Guinea native-front paws
gripping limb and pulling the
body up. And they are almost
catlike in their talent of leaping
from heights.
For the long ocean voyage, DR..
Richardson has stuffed the galley
full of bananas, papayas, spinach,
certain kinds of New Guinea grass,
bread and even corn on the cob to
satisfy the animals appetiteS.
Eleven Months in Jungles.
The mammalogist was one of the
last two scientists in the museums S

Archbold, wealthy research associate
and aviator, to leave Hollandie
after II months in the New Guinea

parture from New Guinea was L. j.
Brass, Australian botanist affiliated
with the American Museum.
Hundreds of specimens of MAN.
mails, birds, reptiles and plants are
on their way to New York, and are
due to arrive in two to three months.
