When: the outlaw's wife drew near, Duane saw that she was a tall, strong, full-bodied woman, rather good-looking with a full- blown, bold attractiveness. Duane was more concerned with her ex- pression than with her good looks; and as she appeared unsuspicious he felt relieved. The situation then took on a singular zest.

In reply to questions in the house of commons yesterday, Premier Bald- win said the last inquiry into - the scheme had been that conducted by the Imperial Defence committee in 1924. As far as he was aware, he said, there had been no recommenda- tions since that time. This brought a further query as to when the house would be given an opportunity to discuss the question. "Probably early in the next parlia- ment," Mr. Baldwin answered bland- ly, amid general laughter. "You will have no authority then," a Labor member retorted. But the premier 'merely smiled.

Two customers presented them- selves at Cischke's home at noon one day and asked for a demonstra- tion. Both of them looked as though their names would be more easily found on a police blotter than in the social register, so Cischke slip- ped a revolver in his pocket before undertaking the demonstratium. Afterdriving the men around the block a few times, Cischke's worst suspicions proved correct. ©@ne of the customers produced a gun and told Cischke that his presence in the car no longer was necessary. Either Cischke's own weapon was in an inaccessible pocket or the sight of the customer's revolver precipitated a moment of absent mindedness. At any rate, Cischke neglected to utilize his preparedness measures and leaped from the car. As he leaped, the other man fire once. Cischke felt a searing pain in his right side and told those who rush- ed to his aid he had been shot. He was hurried to Receiving Hospital Surgeons who sought to probe for the bullet discovered it had gone through Cischke's clothing without touching his flesh.
