The little mystery nagged him all the morn
ing and. because he was that sort of fussy little
man. he went to the library on the corner and
looked up Roup in the Medical Register. The
name was simply not there
He came back puzzled but, of course, not
alarmed for, as he pointed out to the sergeant,
the customer had done nothing but entrust
him with piece of plate. All the same, it was
a peculiar little incident, and he felt bound to
report it to somebody. What did the sergeant
ihink?
1T MAY have been the unfortunate insistence
by MIR. Mevagissy on this fatal word, or it
may have been merely MacFall's unlucky day
but. at any rate. his narrow, deep-set eyes
appeared to move fraction closer together.
His expression became wooden and he flushed
with exertion. "A week from today, eh?" he

MIR. Mevagissy to have the trifiing matter
put right and arranged to call for it at noon
in week.
MIR. Mevagissy accepted the small commits
sion without any surprise at all. As he told the
sergeant. the frequency of this sort of error
had long ceased to astonish him. But later,
when he was wrapping the platter to send it
to his back-street engraver, he noticed that
the design of the piece of lettering was not
quite symmetrical. That did astonish him, for
that is not the sort Of mistake engravers ever
make
He then examined the blank space very
carefully and discovered that something had
already been erased by some other craftsman.
At last, by some jewelerish method best known
to himself he found out that it was date:
1888. Far too early to have anything to do
with his customer or even his father before him.

did it nor did anybody else.
When he demonstrated his trick to his
cohorts in the Metropolitan Police of London,
they rose irritably from the floor and said,

and went off sulkily. talking of something else.
Sergeant MacFall would swell little and grin
and mention that he never drank or smoked
either.
LIT HAD gone through his mind once or twice
in vague way that it was astounding he was
not more popular. But the question did not
bother him. Why should it? Who cares if
man likes you or not if you can put him on his
back and keep him there?
On the whole MacFall got along very we'll
without popularity and on that fateful day
when he was walking along Old SCOT Lane,
shopping center in business London, he was as
happy as human bulldozer can be.
1t was at this point that MIR. Mevagissy, the
owner and proprietor of one of those tiny but
appallingly expensive jewelers. shops. popped
out of his doorway and beckoned to the SER
geant. Innocent and proud as the day he was
born MacFall went across.
MIR. Mevagissy, an elderly gnome of a man.
neat and prim looking with the mouth of
worrier, was in something of a tizzy.
He had nothing to complain Of he said, but
it fcas odd -. There was not sign of the
man in the Medical Register. But that was
not the affairof Mevagissy and Co., was it?
Or was it? A firm couldn't be too careful.
could it? What did the sergeant think?
MacFall. who never thought at all accord
ing to the best authorities. appeared COM
pletely befogged, and MIR Mevagissy has
tened to make himself clear.
TIE SAID that a customer had come in that
morning, and left large old-fashioned silver
platter to have an error corrected in the en-
graved inscription. 1t was not very valuable
piece and could be picked up fairly cheaply in
any one of the city's silver auctions.
The platters inscription stated that it was
presented to DR.. Phinias P. Roup. MD. etc.
ETC.. on the occasion of his marriage, by his
grateful pupils and the nurses of St. Jude's

Mr.. May quotes an Iranian Par

BY DON O'CONNOR

LANSING, Mich.-Gov. G. Men
men "Soapy') Williams, at the
tender age Of A, is faced with a
problem Of political survival which
may force him to go for broke at
the Democratic national conven-
ton in Chicago next August.
A presidential possibility df only
in his own mind) ever since he was
lifted from the State liquor COM
mission to the Governors mansion
in 1913. Gov. williams long has
had a political timetable based on
factors that prevailed up to the
end of last September. This sched-
ule called for him to bide his time
in 1856 and then launch a concerted
drive for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination in 1860.
But the timetable became obso-
lete on September "a, when Pres
ident Eisenhower suffered a heart
attack at Denver.
The Original Timetable
Up to that time. "Soapy" had 1t
doped out this way:
President Eisenhower would be q
sure thing for the G. o. P. nom
nation in 1856. and probably
sure thing for reelection. If Adlai
Stevenson went UP against a sue
cessful incumbent, this would make
the 1952-1956 loser a dead duck
for 1860.
The President having served two
terms. the 22d Amendment would
rule him out in the 1860 Repub-
lican convention. The field then Tin
Gov. Williams opinion) would be
wide open. and he could offer him
self with some hope not only Of
winning the nomination but vastly
more important the election. And
he would move into the White
House a month and three days. be-
fore his 50th birthday.
The Presidents illness-or so it
seems from the Governors mansion
here-has changed things drasti-
cally. If the President does not run
again, Mr.. Stevenson's chances for
success. II ne is nominated, appear
much brighter. And if elected. Mr..
Stevenson could be expected to be
nominated again in 1860 This
would leave Gov. Williams out in
the cold until 1864.
Granted he would still be a young
man-only Sat- that time, there
are other considerations that vex
the Michigan Governor. They boil
down to question Of political sur
vival. In the nature Of things, he
has to do something both public
and important between now and
the time he does finally make his
supreme bid for the presidency.
The Alternatives
He has these alternatives:
. He could run for reelection in
1856 (thus becoming Michigan's
only five-time Governor) and 60 up
against Republican Senator Charles
Potter for q Senate seat in 1858.
Senators are practically as good

CHICAGO, Mar. 8 UP.-It was another
good week for the bears on the Board Of
Trade this week, with only old crop
wheat futures being able to resist the
downward trend.
A wide variety Of new seasonal lows
was set In corn. rye. soybeanS and lard.
The market showed scattered resistance
to the selling at times and occasionally
it appeared that the steady liquidation
was drying UP. But not enough to stem
the slump.
Wheat closed the week Ia lower to
] cent lower. rye 3i+-5i2 lower, soybeans
Q hundred pounds lower.
In the cash markets loose lard made
new low for the past few years. selling
down to 10i2 cents a pound before re.
covering to 1094 cents. Soybean oil
closed the week at q new low for the
year at 1124 cents pound.
Liquidation was present everywhere.
=, was particularly heavy on Wednesday
