"King Younger will rattle you if 'he can)" "He oughtn't to say what isn't true" Ariel said resentfully. "There's nothing in snappy answ- ers, Ariel. You say what's true, and if you can't remember, say so." They all went to court together. Gall's heart beat painfully when Ariel was called and shakily took the stand. "You are not accustomed to driv- ing, Miss Lawrence?" "No." "Never have taken a driver's ex- amination?" "No." "Has your family a car?" "No. We have no car." 'But your friends have cars and you sometimes drive?" "Yes. That's --that's it." "Fgmily know you were driving?" 'NO, I don't think so.' "You consider yourself a compe- tient driver, Miss Lawrence?" "Yes," Ariel said, goaded into a sharper, more definite tone. "I think 3am!" "Now, about these young men who were' with you, Miss Lawrence. "They had taken you to Monterey on 'the Saturday night, as I understand it, and you were all coming home?" "We were coming home." "Had these boys been drinking, that day?" "They may have had a cocktail before lunch," Ariel said, "I object to this line of question- ing, Your Honor," the assistant dis- {triet attorney said, rising from his seat which was close beside Dick's. "Neither of Miss Lawrence's com- {panions was driving at the time of ithe accident, and what was the state 'of 'their minds or health has noth 'ing to do with this affair, nme way 'or canother,? .. dn ipera don't think it matters what 'was the condition of the witness' companions, do you, Mr, Younger?" Joe Gates asked mildly, "Well take it another way then," King Younger begain again. "THese boys were pretty tired on that par- ticular Sunday afternoon; they'd Been up late, let's say. 'They were |so tired on the way home that the other young lady who was in the party felt it necessary to leave the the car, She was frightened," he appealed to the jury; she "felt that any inconvenience, any difficulty in getting home, was preferably to in rem " "I object to these questions, Your Hop the assistant district at- "she'll just have to lve it down," she presently sald, wondering if her words had any meaning.

"Well, let me know how things ge a the Formaldehydes!" he: sa For twenty minutes after he went .|away she knew neither where she i nor what she was going or say- Then she went up to Muller's and joined Edith and they walked home Jogetter, happy, exhausted, grate- ful, "It's frightful," Edith conceded, of the recent events, "to have Ariel ar- -examined as a witness . But I am grateful to God that everything's turned out as Ariel came in a few minutes af- ter dinner preparations were under way and both elder sisters glanced at her fearfully. "Oh, heavenly!" Ariel said with a weary sigh and a sober face. "Couldn't bring Van back to sup- per" "Didn't think to ask him," "Do you like him" Gail asked en- couragingly. "Oh, he's darling--" Ariel said listlessly. "Not that it make any dif- ference--" she added bitterly. « "Ah, don't say that, dear!" Both sisters dreaded this mood when she would be resentful and dark for a while and end up with hysterical laughter, hysterical tears and phy- sical collapse. Sam came in and lighted the gas above their heads; dusk had deep- ened almo+* into darkness. "Sam, you're an angel!" Edith said. "I suppose, jail or no jail, we eat sometimes?" Sam asked by way of answer, "Listen," he centinued, "theres a swell film at the Liberty tonight. Y'ant to go, Ariel?" "No, thanks," Ariel began to an- swer steadily but her voice shook suddenly and her words came in a rush. "I don't want to go and have every old church-going, psalm-sing- ing, cake-sale-making old woman in this town pointing me out. I'm sick to death of this whole place and this house and being poor I'm not going to Stand it, either! I'm going down to Hollywood if I have to walk there, and I'm going--" "Ah, sweetheart, you'll only make yourself ill!" Gail pleaded. "Den't get yourself all wrought up. Listen, darling, if the Whites do give a fancy dress party, and we give a birthday party--" She stopped, for Ariel, looking at 'her - with a "trembling laugh of scorn, broke as suddenly into tears and was laughing and crying in the familiar manner before any one of them could attempt to divert her Gulded by Gai! she stumbled from the roam and upstairs, sobbing in- coherently and now beginning fo feel wretchedly ick. Gall turned down the wide ola bed, and lowered the shades. And all the while her heart sang on a strengthening and rising note --Dick--Djck--Dick. It was good to be twenty-three and to have Dick in the world! When she came blinking out into the upper hall, Phil was waiting. "All right?" "Oh, she's fine. Just worn out, thats all. It's been a terible day for her, poor kid! She doesn't want any supper but she wants us all io Sane up afterward and talk to And so downstairs to the dear 'ounger, | familiar plates and lights, the cag- g er conversation that was punctuat- ed with, laughter and supplemented by the books they always dragged in somehow for reference or sunport.

Military Aspects Promoters of the project are! advancing the military aspects of making Rome a seaport. The basin, which will probably be nearly four kilometres in size, will afford a safe base for sub- marines, torpedo boats and light cruisers. The basin could also be used as a hydroplane base for squadrons' operating in the Tyr- rhenian and Mediterranean. This gathering of naval force near the city would be an added protection to the city already protected by land forces, The scheme has the backing of the powerful Milan industrialist Carlo Scovenna, who has had en- gineers studying and perfecting the project for 12 years, Its con- struction, he says, will he a crowning. achievement to many of the bold public projects of Fascism. Lazy Italian Hens Said to Ruin Trade Rome, July 15.--Italian hens are loafing on the job. Their lazy production of eggs, says an Italian economic expert, is a con- siderable factor in Italy's world trade deficit, Before the war Italy was a heavy exporter of poultry and eggs. Now she is a large import- er. Jer imports have been grow- ing" larger every year with a consequent depressing effect upon Italy's trade balance. Before the war Italy exported, eggs worth 48,313,395 lire, while she imported only 4,065,930 lire. Her egg exports were more than 10 times greater than her im- ports, while export of live and killed poultry was approximately four times greater than imports. In the first two months of this year, Italy pald 16,044,188 lire for foreign eggs, compared to 12,067,150 lire for the corres- ponding period in 1980 and 8,082,184 Mre in 1929. The same ratio of increase Is remarked for both live and dressed poultry, purchases of live 'poultry increasing from 2,022,000 lire in 1929 to. 12,- 884,435 lire for the first two months of 1931, Ancient Greek Coin Presented to Museum Montreal, July 15--A Greek coin, probably used in Syracuse about 300- B.C,, has been presented to the Redpath Museum of McGill Univer- sity by Miss Alice Redpath, of Canterbury, England, The authen- ticity of the coin is. well established. About three-fifths of an inch in diameter, the thick copper coin bears an indistinct human head of a deity facing left on the obverse and the figure of an unbridled and unattended prancing horrse facing unattended prancing horse facin scription and without historical al- lusion, the exhibit is regarded as a valuable example of early Greek coinage. ' The animal type Bt the reverse he I OM is emphafiS.A dangerous "fish, capable in certain circumstances of even killing a man. Not many months ago one of the aquarium keepers at the Zoo went on the sick list as a direct fesult of receiving a shock of some 400 volts from one of them. . Almost as dangerous is the Afri- can cat-fish, or "raad" (the Arab name for "thunder"). Though not so large as the electric eel--it rarely exceeds four feet in length--it is capable of giving its victims very powerful shocks, which prevent all further motion for the time being, The electric organs of the cat- fish are distributed over the entire body and lie just below the skin. Not long ago the Zoo was fortun- ate enough to obtain a small speci- men. When touched by human hands it gave a shock which was clearly felt up to the elbow, Then the electric rays can also give fairly powerful galvanic shocks. These rays, often over four feet long and a couple in width, have the clectric organs situated on the head, and as they are occasionally found off the British coast and in the English Channel, prospective Chan- nel swimmers must beware!

Z. Massicotte, his- torian and Court House archivist, whose object has been to ascertain to what extent the ancient British custom was applied after British rule had supplanted the French re- gime. One case was in Montreal, the other in Quebec; in each case the court sentence was that the corpse should swing for the length of time required for "its total destruction." In each case, too, the remains were surreptitiously taken down and bu- ried, The Montreal hanging in chains took place in 1761. An individual of the name of Saint Paul entered the house of one Charles Bellanger, situated at Cote St. Francois, near St. Vincent de Paul, on lle Jesus, took all the money he could find, then killed the man, his wife, and two children. Mr, Massicotte es- tablished through registers that the murder took place on March 8 and the bodies were buried the next day. After the murder the assassin set fire to the house, but grain stored in the attic sifted through, buried the bodies and protected them, thus allowing the authorities to ascertain that there had been murder. Saint Paul, who had been seen in the vicinity, was arrested and confessed. Tried in Montreal, he was sen- tenced to he hanged, but the sen- tence of the court also provided that "the corpse shall be encircled and suspended until its total de- struction on the spot where the crime was committed." Saint Paul was hanged in the Montreal prison, his remains placed in a cage and swung near the main road - at the spot where the quadruple murder had taken place. About a year la- ter, a farmer, sick of the horrible sight, took down the remains and buried them nearby under a pylon of stones. The other case is, it appears, still more or less fresh in the minds of eastern Quebec, for Mr. Massicotte reports persistence of the tradition of "La Corriveau," spirit of an 18th century murderess, said to walk abroad at night trying to be friend- ly with the terror-stricken people she may encounter. Josephte Corriveau was the lady in the flesh. In April, 1760, she be- came a widow; in July she married one, Louis Dodier, of St. Vallier, who three years later was assassin- ated. Suspicion fell upon the wi- dow, who was found guilty of mur- der. Hanged near the Plains of Abraham in Quebec, by order of Governor Murray, her remains were placed in a cage "which imi- FOR NEW SIGHTS AND EXPERIENCES tated the human form," and swung from a pole at the crossroads at Pointe Levis. Apparently her ost started walking right away, or records show that local resi- dents asked that the remains be re- moved. This was finally done by a group of young men who buried the remains in the cemetery.
