It was partly, without a doubt, the disordered condition of mind Into which he had lapsed during this first cycle In the amasing up heaval of his daily life which gave him the sensation of having been awakened by those words from those few hours of troubled sleep la Curzon street, The hasty dres- slug, the drive to the station, the eager conference with Greutorex, the boarding of the steamer, the settling down in his room, all seemed like a dream, hatgh ine dded they were incidents belonging to some other person's life, of which he had only ' a secondary knowledge, The phantasy, how aver, passed .n a moment as he turned to look at his companion, who had sunk {nto the adjoining chair 80 noiselewaly that, ahrerbed {a pin task, he had been utterly une aware of her coming.

COREY MAY WED MARARAIAK Former Broadway Show Beauty Casting Eyes Toward India Paris, Sept, 24.~Mrs, Mabel Gilman Corey is casting her eyes toward Indias in the ho haps some companionable mahara- ah there will assuage the disap- pointment caused Prince Louis De Bourbon refused to wed her, The former Broadway show hazhty who divorced the American steel king, William E, Corey, con- firmed to the United Press yes- terday that she might go to India to look over several mahbarashe for matrimonial purposes, "I haven't decided whether to go or not," she said, "India is so far away, I would gladly remarry, but I want companionship regard- less of nationality." She was philosophjcal concern- ing Prince Louis, the Spanish Royal Family, for whom she em- braced the Catholic faith last June, when it appeared imminent that five years of courtship would end in marriage. She had been rather embarrassed when, after announc- ing her plans to marry him, he returned her dowry offer and said it wasn't large enough, "I am not sorry my marriage to Don Louis failed to material. ize," Mrs, Corey told the United Press, "I saw him recently, and he is really a disagreeable charac. ter." "After all," she added rather pensively, "it will be most difficult ever to find another husband as good as Mr, Corey. He 1s a clever man, and could have been Presi. dent of the United States." Mrs, Corey has spent the sum- mer chopping trees on the grounds of her chateau near Versailles, which the steel millionaire gave her in the divorce settlement. She plans to go to London for the au- tumn season, After that she intends to star- tle Paris with an expansive winter season, during which she threats ens to give several of the greatest balls the gay metropolis has ever seen, LONDON POLICE ARE BAFFLED BY CRIME Geng Mutilating Shop "Nin- dows Leaves No Clue Behind London, Sept. 24.--8cotland Yard, its impeccable record al- ways sullied by six unsolved mur- ders this year, devoted its ener- fes last week to one of the strang- est mysteries in years. For days, a gang has worked systematically in a diagonal path across London, mutilating shop windows with dlamonds, More than 1,000 'windows have been soratched and gashed, and the damage has been enormous, The apparent lack of motive has made solution difficult, Police ngreed that there must be more than one- "slasher" at work be- cause of the extent of the damage done, A thousand police have been put to work, Many shop-keepers are guard- ing their places at night and leav- ing lights on In the hope of trap- ping the criminals. It was recalled that a similar outbreak occurred some years ago, but the perpetra- tor was not caught and the dam- age was not nearly so extensive, An outbreak of. banditry also has cropped up to Increase the difMculties of the Yard, The crim- inal element has become bold and is adopting methods common in the larger American cities but comparatively unknown - in Lon don, The recent daylight holdup of a bank payroll messenger has not been solved, Tt was one of the first such robberies in the his tory of London, The six murders which have not been solved have shattered Scotland Yard's unblemished rec- ord for 1928, during Whigh no orime was left unsolved. The murders include the slaying of Vivian Messiter, an Anglo- American engineer, in his garage at Southampton: the murder of two women in the provinces; one woman murdered on a train and two men murdered in their shops. The list does not include the baf- ing Croydon arsenic mystery, in which three members of the Syd- nev family were poisoned. With announcement that the recent Manchester shop murder mystery had not been solved, the United Press investigated and found that under a new ruling of the home office, nolice are badly hampered in their questioning of suspects, TENDENCY TO BAN STRIKES IN BRITAI Workers and Employers are Agreeing that Force Is Obsolete Manchester, Eng.,, Sept 23 -- Great Britain is recovering from a cotton mill strike and facing {:aminent r-ollems of a similar nature in railways, mines and ship. building instruments of industri, policy, Employers and workers generally are coming into agree ment that force ig an obsolete me- thod of seétting trade disputes anu arbitration is coming to t'.e fore. This tendency was greatly enhanc ed by tha aoti* in to 1 ncashir cotton trades trouble. Differences between cotton mill workers and employers were settled by arbitra- tion, The cotton dispute caused =o stoppage in 1,300 mills which last- ed Jes weeks. It was caused by employers g workers to (ake " Nad erion of about 60 cents in average weekly wages of from $10 10 $12, Half a milion workers stop- ped. The unions paid out $1,250, 000 in benefits; A million pounds a million pounds a week--$5,000,- 000--were lost in wages, The cot- ton mills lost About $1,000,000 a week in , . It didn't take either side very long to realize thst meither could win such an expensive tug of war, And when the government inter- vened both sides agreed to arbi- trate their differences, A notable example of co-operation between works and employers in solving a trade problem is found in the rail- ways, A year ago the unions agreed to a voluntary reduction of two and g half per cent in wages. These unions have now decided to end this agreement and apply for & restoration of the tv.o and a half per cent, r decision will be negotisted within the next two or three months and it is predicted that frendly feelizgs will prevail. In shipbuilding, too, there is machinery for avoiding stoppages. The services of sn independent chairman can be brought into ac- tion at a certain stage of negotia- tions, In the mining industry with- in the next month or two there will be difficult negotiations on the hours question. In a recent speech Ramsay Macdonald, the Prime Minister, hinted that the mine operators and workerd would do well to arbitrate their differ- ences and it is considered a good sign that the mine operators have decided at least to meet the gov- ernment and telk things over, ROMANCE OF THEATRE GIRL London.--A pretty programme- seller dressed in Quaker costume caught the eye of a famous paint- er's wife at the Fortune Theatre London, one night--and another of those little romances numerous in the world of art began, The programme-seller was Miss Betty Iresa, who lives with her parents at Kenington, and the ar- tist's wife was Mrs, Collier, whose husband is Mr, John Collier, R.
