his love of wild life, she gave
him a silver medallion of st.
Francis of Assist, patron saint Of
birds and beasts, and hung it
around his neck on thin 6 d
chain. 'I've heard it said that
when people die their souls

times an animal" she told him.
A FEW MONTHS before the boys
ninth birthday, his father found a
newborn fawn in the forest and
presented it to his son. The lad
named it Francois, bottle-fed it
until the shakiness went out of its
legs, and trained it until it fol-
lowed him around like a puppy.
On bis birthday few weeks
later, Pierre gave bis son snotbs,

closed.
As. Clifford finished speaking,
Simons, a tall spare man, appeared
in the doorway, stopped and looked
about in bewilderment.
"I'm Inspector Clifford of police
headquarters" the officer said,
stepping forward. "Simons, I arrest
you for forging Edward Thurston's
name to a check for $1,000"
Simons' eyes grew wide. The
color drained from his cheeks. For
a moment he stared as though
struck, then impulsively turned
and bolted.
Anticipating the move, In
spector Clifford leaped for
ward. His fingers caught hold
Of the tall mans collar, and
yanked him backward.
"Quite simple when explained"
Clifford was saying later. "Simons
probably needed money. He was in
the bank when Page was making
his deposit, and picked up the blot
ter Page had used when signing
his name. It was a new blotter,
and the imprint therefore was def
nitely easy to copy for forgery
purposes"

efficient instrument Of dsstrSs-
ton.
Tomorrow" he said, 1--WE will
60 hunting"
The youngster said nothing, but
later asked his mother what he
should do.
"You must 60 with your father"
said Emile.
"You told me that when people
die their souls go into animals"
said the boy. Wouldn't it be like
killing a person?"
"Your father thinks differently"
II won't shoot to hit anything"
said the lad.
Pierre, who had been drinking on
the porch, overheard the converse
ton. Addressing himself to his son,
he said, "There will be no more
women's talk. You will become a
man and a hunter like your father.
Tomorrow we 60 to the woods, but
your first lesson will be tonight.
Take your rifle and shoot the
fawn."
Terrified, the boy nodded and
went to the barn. He prodded the
fawn with a stick and tried to
brighten it into the forest, but the
pet, thinking it was a new game,
took few playful leaps and then
frisked back for more sport.
Finally, the boy placed the medal
lion Of St. Francis around the
fawn's neck. It needed divine pro-
lection more than he.
HALF AN HOUR later, Pierre
back on the porch, was reused from

he tore the talisman from the car
caSS.
Next day the boy was buried
with the medallion Of St. Francis
again around his neck, and after
the funeral Emile went back to her
own village.
From then on, tbs great bant-
~ became tho great butcher. Day

One evening the following sum-
mer he saw a giant stag at the
far end of the garden. He reached
for his gun and followed it down
to the lake. At the waters edge
the animal paused and Pierre
lifted the gun to his shoulder. but
instead Of giant stag he saw a
frightened fawn. Its eyes re-
minded him of two other sets Of
eyes, but he fired, and the animal
gave little jump and fell dead.
Attracted by something on its neck,
he walked over to see what it
was ....
The villagers were not surprised
a few days later when they learned
that Pierre Montevilain had died of
"a stroke. But there was much talk
about the object found in the dead
mans hand-a silver medallion Of
St. Francis of Assist suspended
on thin gold chain.

Force of Habit

After finding a vacant seat in
the train the little man with the
meek demeanor slumped into it
and soon fell asleep. He evidently
hadn't noticed the parrot perched
on the shoulder of the man next
to him but the latter eyed the
newcomer with mixed emotions.
After considerable elaboration
and frequent shiftings of weight
from foot to foot the parrot de-
cided on attack. Balancing him.

An American visitor to England
had just returned to his native
United States with a slight British
accent and numerous stories of his
travels. He was relating some of
his experiences to a group of
friends when one of them asked if
he had done any shooting.
"Oh, yes" he replied, Il did
quite a bit of shooting. I was most
successful, though, when I shot at

"Didja hit it?" asked another
eagerly.

You aren't even what you look
like"
He sighed again. "I'm afraid /
am" he said. "You see, Miranda's
mother was a rather old-fashioned
mother. Finest in the world, but
old-fashioned. She thought the
world of her father and she taught
Miranda that a Papa is second
only to the Almighty. 1t was her
mother who taught Miranda to
call me Papa"
He shuddered slightly. Il have
never liked it but ! never tried
to change Miranda's conception of
me. At her age, when her mother
died, it seemed a rather delicate
and dangerous thing to do. If /
changed she wouldn't have any
anchor at all. Do you see what l
mean?"
Il see it fine," said. MY
mother died when l was ten. My
old man began to bounce around a
little. 1t was very disconcerting."
"UN the other hand" said Papa.
II may have done Miranda an
injustice. She is perhaps too con-
cerned with my feelings. 1t is high
time Miranda began to carve out
life of her own. I'm not sure it
would be good for her to marry
Mr.. Pittock and live in the same
town with me and have me to din
ner every Sunday and all that. As
a matter of fact, he added, Law
renee Pittock is so much like me
that it is little frightening. Same
business. Same school. Same clubs.
And ="
Born in Wakefield" l said.
Papa nodded. Eyes. A lovely
place, Wakefield, where met
Miranda's mother. But am glad
we didn't stay there. Because, you
see, my wife's father lived quite
a long time. 1t was better that
we moved to Philadelphia. But
Miranda's mother was still rather
strict in her notions of what a
father should be. l remember when
Miranda was about five brought
home a Stutz Bearcat - a red one
- and had to take it back.

he was interrupted by a hotel page

and plugged a telephone into the
wall. Hello" was all Papa got

instrument out of his hands. 1t
suddenly occurred to me that
had not been watching the lobby.

over the wire, Il know you'll be
relieved to know that I'm going to

Bur not quite. Because just as
we screeched alongside the airport
building I saw the northbound
plane rising over the palm trees at
the far end of the field. DAMN

are in for a lot of Sunday dinners
with the Pittocks."
Look" said Papa. There's
Miranda"
There certainly was Miranda
and just as certainly she was in
the clutches of the law. A police
man had her firmly by the elbow,
and as the crowd parted to let
them out l glimpsed Lawrence
Pittock in the banker s-gray. Curl
ously, he was horizontal. His hat
had rolled off and a piece of air
plane luggage rested on his head.
Assault and battery" the cop
said when Papa and l ran up.
"Conked that guy with her suit
case, and he amt come to yet"
He made horrible sugges-
tion." Miranda said, the fire still
in her eyes. He suggested the
most awful things about you and
me. He said that ! ought to tell
him the truth before married

Unfortunately"
Its still assault and battery"
the cop insisted.
When MIR. Pittock realized that
was on the scene he refused to
withdraw his charges, so they
wheeled Miranda to the justice
right along with Papa and me. The
justice gave US a package deal for
twenty bucks. Ten dollars for
Miranda - and ten for the mar
riage, with Papa giving the bride
away and Mr.. Lawrence Pittock
as the witness.

'MariinsviIIe Seven
GET New Trial

THURSDAY decllned 10 comment on
the action of Judge M. Ray Doub-
les granting stays of execution to
the seven colored men of Martins
vile, Virginia, who are under SEN
tence of death for raping white
woman.
81 discharged my duty as I saw
| it after the Supreme Court of Vir-
ginia considered and acted upon
every phase of the case," Cover
nor Battle told newsmen after
Judge Doubles, in Richmond Hus-
tings Court, Part II, had issued an
order stopping the electrocutions,
which had been scheduled to start
early last Friday.
"The matter now appears to be
again before the courts and, of
course, I have no comment to
make"
Governor Battle declined on
Monday, July "a, to commute the
death sentences of the seven men.
Court orders, signed by Judge
Doubles, were served last Thurs
day on w. Frank Snyth, Jr., sup
erintendent Of the State peniten-
tiary. Four Of the men were to
have been electricuted last Fri
day morning, the other three on
August 4. h
The order stayed executions un-
til further order of the court and
directed Smyth to show cause by
September why writs of habeas
corpus should not be granted.
In a petition for writ of
habeas corpus, filed in Hastings
Court, Martin A. Martin, counsel
for the seven men, contended that
the defendants had been denied
the equal protection of the law
under the Fourteenth Amendment
of the Constitution.
He maintained that the State
of Virginia consistently has SEN
fenced colored defendants to die
for rape of white women but never
has invoked the death penalty
against any white man convicted
of rape. Thus, he asserted, the
death penalty has been reserved
specially for colored men contrary
to the equal protection doctrine.
In his statement refusing to
commute the sentences, Governor.
Battle said the defendants had had
fair trials, that the evidence clear
ly proved their guilt, and that at
tempts to inject the racial issue
were "unwarrented."
The seven prisoners are Joe
Henry Hampton, Frank Hairston,
Jr., Booker T. Millner and Howard
Hairston, whose execution had
been set for last Friday; Francis
DeSales Grayson, John Clabon Tay-
lor and James Luther Hairston,
scheduled to die August 4.
They were convicted of raping
a 32-year old white woman in
Martinsville last year.
A unanimous decision by the.
Virginia Supreme Court of APP
pealsy upheld the convictions and
sentences. The United States Su-
preme Court last month refused
to review the case. &
Governor Battle said he had
searched the records and my own
conscience without finding any cir.
cumstance upon which could rely
in setting aside the findings of the,
court in any of these cases.
If the writ of habeas corpus is
granted, the men presumably will
be given new trials. If it is denied,
new dates for their executions will
be set. Either course could be de-.
layed by appeals. -

Lindsay Almond, Jr., and his staff
will represent Smyth and the Com.

Certain fundamentals pre-

And If she discovers that

that she can, through gradual
additions, complete the whole
idea of her wardrobe scheme
without disrupting it, she's on
the road to success as a fash
