Long is the line of those hostile spears: Thy fountains are bitter with woman's tears: Thy children hate learned in their care less play To mimic the soldier s stern array— And thy prisoned people all grimly wait For the hourly expected blow of fate.

Today Paris is again threatened by Prussian armies, but the Purls of 1816 Is entirely different from the city in 1870. Forty-six years have passed since Bismark ai,d Von Molt kt subjugated France and overran laris. Napoleon the II was holding the helm and France was tired of battling for a monarchy—and disaster followed all the Preach movements. Paris was laid ow and nothing was left to the Paris iaas but their hate for Germany. Now. i’arlz is fighting for something that tLey did not ru^Br,e ,or in 18 ’°- name " ly a republic, a government of the Peo nle. by the neople and for all the peo ple. It is remarked everywhere that French troops are more determined than any others of the allies forces. England is known tv be slow, but is slower than usual. U would seem that - England could rush fresh troops across tie channel and compel the Germans to desist in available locations for defense. Che crisis in France is impending. Per mps a poem will appear that will give oa a new heading and a more success tul outlook —Paris in 1916. I feel obliged to cheer for the gal lant Frenchman who are in the fifing * tent Frenchmen who are in the fir ing ,i>e- death. - • ygWAT WE GET OUT OF LIFE- Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet ter than medicipe. Learn how to tell a story. A well-told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you can not see any good in the world keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide vour pains and aches under a pleasant smile. No one cares whether '■■Ou have the headache, backache or rheumatism Don’t cry. Tears do well enough in novels, but are out of place in real life. Learn to meet your friends with a smile. The good humored man or woman is always welcome. The world is a land of echoes, the message we call t o it comes back to us from ev ery side. In truth we get out of life what we put into it.—Exchange. WHT THE CONSTITUTION IS AMENDED? A great many of us have hazy ideas . t|S to how the constitution of this re public was put together in the early beginning. but we are more often ig norant of why it has been amended. There are sixteen amendments to the ,-onstitution in all and ten of the six teen were proposed before all the orig inal thirteen colonies had ratified the existing constitution. There was ve hement opposition to this document. The objections to its adoption were numer ous- Washingtons enemies were loud in opposition because they had personal dis like to the father of his country. In one of the “ante" pamphlets/these words were seen: '"Washington is a bom fool!* So the first ten amendments were add ed in 1791. “They provide free speech, religious freedom, a trial by jury, they prevent excessive fine, the quartering of troops, and the unjust use of the .light of search ' The eleventh* amendment limited the power of the federal courts, and was recorded and became a part of the con stitution in 1798. After the Civil war, the thirteenth amendment, abolished slavery. The fourteenth gave citizenship to negroes The fifteenth granted suffrage to ne groes. The sixteenth amendment authorized the income tax and repealed it.

SYNOPSIS THIRD INSTALLMENT. Jim Borden, crook, tries to wipe out his family by killing his son and himself, thus ending the crim inal curse of the Red C ide birth mark. June Travis, girl reformer, tells her nurse Mary of the im pulse to commit suicide. Mary sees the Red Circle on the back of June’s right hand. Mary is overcome, but solidly re fuses to tell June the terrible secret. After June threatens to ask her mother the meaning of the "Red Circle” brand. Mary breaks down and confesses. June proves to be the litigate.' of Jim Borden, born in a little min ing town in the west and through peculiar raised by Mrs. Travis in the belief that it was her daughter. They promise *o keep it secret from Mrs. Travis. Detective Lamar, suspicious of June, calls at the Travis home on an invitation from June. During the conversation, Lamar asks her if she had seen anything of the “veiled” woman in black; she an swers in the affirmative. The butler blunders’ in with a piece of burned note, which June had stolen from a loan shark, but one of several benevolent crimes which she has committed, and asks whether it has any value. Trap ped. June offers to show Lamar where she found it. FOURTH INSTALLMENT. MS. LAMAR”' cried June. her sweet voice vibrant with amazed reproach. "Won't you forgive me?” he pleaded. “What was I to think? It all seemed to fit in. with such horrible exactness. How else could I account for part of the stolen note being found in your room? ■ And your explanation seemed so lame—so unconvincing. The sim ple truth often does, you know. Won’t you forgive me, please?" “You —you doubted .my word?” mur mured June, incredulously. “You actu ally thought?—" “I’m so ashamed!" he broke in. “fiut I paid for my mistake. I never was more hideously miserable In all my life than I was at my air castles—all my dreams and ideals of glorious woman* hood —were crashing to fragments about my ears. I’d have given my right arm to find myself mistaken. And, thank God I was mistaken. Why, when 1 saw that Veiled Woman standing look ing at us, I could —I could have kissed her; for giving me back my faith in you. I—” “Please don't say any more about it," said June, coldly, “I suppose your pro fession makes you look with suspicion on everyone. The law is supposed to believe people innocent, until guilt is proved. But, with officers of the law. it seems just the other way around. You suspect me, because it's your pro fession to”— “Neitlier my profession nor anything else can make me suspect you again," he urged vehemently. "Tell me. I'm forgiven—that I may call on you— that”— But, womanlike, she would not sur pleasure do you get from pursuing her rvpted his plea to say: "Mr. Lamar, I don’t mean to be im pertinent, but why do you follow such a profession? Is it a joy to track down and capture society’s poor victims? For instance, this Veiled Woman. What pleasure do yoo get from pursuing her —from turning her into a hunted crim inal? Why-can't you let the miserable creature rest in peace?” His face had grown very grave as she spoke. With almost a note of so lemnity in his voide he made reply: T know men who loved the man hunt for the man-hunt’s sake. It is not so with me. It has never been so. You ask what- 'pleasure' I get in pursuing criminals, iix thwarting them, in making the city safe from them. What ‘pleas ure’ does the" shepherd get from driv ing away the wolf from his sheef»fold? He is not by trade a hunter of wolves, but a protector of sheep. So that the sheep may sleep peacefully in their fold, the shepherd spends cold and wakeful nights on the hills, often at risk of his own life, to kill the wolf that menaces his Hock. We law enforcers are shep herds. So that honest folk may be safeguarded, we spend our lives trail ing human wolves that seek to prey bn them. - That is my mission. Not as sweet a mission as yours among the poor and the unfortunate; but a life that is not ignoble." "I—l think I understand now,” an swered June gravely, after a moment’s silence, “and I thank you for telling me. •'See.” she added, "we are at at my house already. I thought the walk was longer. Won't you come in?” He wondered at the fervor of the invitation, and at the worry that awoke, deep down in her dark eyes. June was in dire perplexity. She wanted Lamar to come into the house; on the bare chance that she might be able to ab stract the coat he so zealously carried or to exchange It for one of same general appearance that she had bought two years earlier in Paris. On the other hand, she dreaded lest her mother should see and recognize the coat and say some thing that should reawaken his suspi cions. June did not know whether to be sorry or glad when Max answered regretfully: “I wish I might come in. And I’m going to call, just as soon as you’ll let amendment, elects senators by the peo ple. In the near future we may expect to see national prohibition—by constitu i tional amendment—for when three-quar ter of the states adopt it the rest of the" states must enforce it. Woman suffrage will most likely progress in the same way, time enough being given. Some provision, protecting marriage laws, may be also passed. The day Is coming when lax divorce proceedings will disgust the country and something different will become the law of the land.

"The most uan gcrous wolf for many a day. But I nave a clue here that will land het in the trap before tomorro* night. I’ll stake everything on that prophecy. Good-bye.” “Good hunting!’* she culled merrily i over her shoulder as she ran up the [steps to the front door. But the moment she was in her own room the lightness of manner fell from ner, like an ill-fittmg garment. Iler face was suddenly drawn and haggard. “He'll do it!” she said to herself, over ami over again. “He’ll do it! Nothing can stop him. Nothing can save me;” Gradually the Red Circle crept into sight on the back of her white hand. When she spoke again her voice had grown tense as a taut guitar string. “Nothing can stop him,” she repeat ed. “Nothing can save mt —except my self" Taking her room telephone from tiie desk, she ordered her limousine brought from the garage. • • • Ten minutes later June Travis en tered a men's outfitter’s shop of the cheaper sort, on a downtown street. To the very admiring clerk who strutted forth from the back qf the store to wel come her, she said: “Jly brother is to leave the hospital today. He is recovering from smallpox. -—Don’t be frightened. I haven’? been near him.—He has just telephoned me that they destroyed all his clothes, to prevent infection. And he wants me to buy him a new outfit." “Yes, ma'am,” acqueisced the cler.». "Certainly, ma'am.. What size, please?” “He’s—he’s a perfect thirty-six,” she faltered, taken aback at the query she had not expected. “A perfect thirty-six'.” repeated the clerk, amused. “That is away of de scribing women’s clothes, isn’t it? Do you mean he has a thirty-six chest?" “Yes," she answered hastily. “Os course, yes. That’s what I meant. How stupid of me!” "'Not at all. Not at all,” said the clerk, gallantly. “Thirty-six chest. What arm length?” “Oh—the—the average arm length, I :hink,” floundered June, “and—and a thenty-two-inch cor—vest. 1 mean.” The clerk looked puzzled. “Well. I'm sure about the chest meas ure, anyhow." declared the poor girl. “Get a vest to go with a coat that size, please.” ’ “Cer’tnly,” agreed the clerk, quite | dizzy from the dazzling yet helpless ■ smile she squandered on hlhi. “and — —trousers?" “Oh, any kind of trousers that —that go with a twenty-two-inch cor—l—l mean a thirty-six-inch coat. Any kind . all that go with that sort of coat.” “What's his waist measure?” asked th.- clei k "Twenty—l don't know.” confessed J une. “How tall is he?" “Five feet six and a half,’ she said •romptly. “H'in!” mused the clerk. “I ll make a guess at it. Before we go to the gents’ -lotliing department, how about other things for him? Hat?" “Yes. A. hat. Os course.’’ “What size?" “I—l don’t—yes, I do, too. I wear >ne of his caps when 1 go fishing. Get v cap that will fit me, and it will be the r ight size for him. A golf cap. Not at." “Shoes?” “Yes. A pair of shoes. Men's shoes, ou know." “Do you know the size your brother wears ?” "Three A,” she replied. 1 "Three A!” lie gasped. "Three A siloes with a thirty-six chest, and live feet six and a half tall. Say, ma'am, what sort of a chap is this brother of yours, anyhow?” Her suddenly frigid glance froze him. into respect, once more, meekly he changed the subject by inquiring: "How about underclothes for him?” "No!” disclaimed June, on the verge ! of tears. Lamar, meantime, swept like a whirl- ■ wind into the private office of Chief of ■ Police Allen. “Got her!" he announced. “At least I I’ve got hold of one end of the chain land she’s clamped fast to the other end. Here’s her coat. The Veiled Woman’s ' b : black boat. I’ll tell you later how I [ got it. Can’t some of your born idots ■ chase around and find who it was made I for? If they find that they’ll find the ■ Veiled Woman. And then the Red Circle will stop being a mystery; and maybe I can blow myself to a decent night’s sleep. ’i ne chief looked at his watch. “Inside of half an hour,” he said, "every first-class store and tailor shop 'in town will be shut for the night. And this coat came from a first-clafs place, i Anyone can see that. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow morning. Here” to liis secretary, “Tell the detective department to get busy on that tomorrow. First thing. Handle it carefully. It’s all gasoline and grease. Now, then, Max. my boy, let’s hear the story.” * • * June, coming out front the men’s out ' fitting shop, carried a big and awkward bundle that she had refused to allow tile obsequious clerk to send home for her. Her next visit was to a theatrical wigmaker. A few minutes later she emerged, with ‘ a second and smaller ’ ack;ig<, got into the limousine and went home. Yamu, at the door of the Travis house, sprang forward to relieve her of the two bulky parcels. But she curtly refused to let him take the bundles. The Jap butler had already caused her enough trouble for one day, and she had a su perstitious feeling about letting him handle these mysterious-treasurers she had brought home. June went straight to her bedroom and dropped the parcels on a chair. Thence she went into her sitting room —to find Mary waiting for her.

"You dear!” she exclaimed, in tear ful graitude. “You dear. lou splen did old dear! It was wonderful of you! Wonderful! Oh, there aren’t any words to thank you! 1 never dreamed it was you, until I saw that miserable coat stuck In the garage door. Why, you migut ha.e ■;» rested and all sorts of te rible things!” "There, there!” soothed Mary. "It s all right! It’s all right, honey! I'd do a million times more’n that for my little girl, any day in the whole year. Just you forget all about what ] did. It's what I’m here for.” “Forget it?” cried June. “Never as long as 1 live! Oh, Mary, you. werej “If you want to pay me for it,” put in Mary, “you can do it by keeping out of such horrid messes another time. Oh, dearie, promise me you won't do such things any more. Promise Mary you won't. Whenever you get to feeling one of those fearful Red Circle fits coming on you just run and tell me. And I'll lock you up till it’s all over.” The girl’s eyes narrowed. The back of her right hand began to throb: “I’m so tired!” she murmured, “and I’m so faint, with all this fright and danger. It’s given me a sick headache. I’m going to bed. Tell mother, won’t you? And say I don't want any dinner sent up to me. I want to go to sleep and not be disturbed till tomorrow morning." t Eluding the worried old woman s torrent of suggestions as to aro- matic spirits of ammonia and as pirin and hot water bags, June fin ally escaped t 0 her own bedroom. Turning the key in the door, she went to the long French window, drew down the blinds, and then ad vanced toward the chair whereon lay her packages. Her face was grave and was set in lines of calm determination that # aged and strengthened the young features On her hand-back blazed and throb bed the red circle, lurid and pul sating against the white flesh. • ft ft * * Chief Allen still sat in his pri vate office, clearing up some odds and ends of the day’s official rou tine, before going to his club for a belated dinner. Night had fallen, but a broad streak of moonlight lay athwart the window sill. His secretary came in from the other office. “Young fellow outside there, chief,” he announced. “Wants to see you. He’s a dummy. Not deaf; but he’s dumb. Here's a note he scribbled for you. He’s from Mr. Lamar.’ The chief took the slip of pa per his secretary had tendered, and read the three written lines it con tained. “I am dumb. Cannot talk, but I can hear. I must see the chief of police. Mr. Lamar sent me." “Oh, all right. All right,” grunt ed the chief. “I suppose I'll get my dinner some time between now and Christmas, if 1 have luck. Bring him in.” The secretary vanished, reappear ing in a moment witii a young man in tow. The visitor was quietly dressed and wore on his head a golf cap, which it evidently did not occur to him to remove in the august pres ence of the chief. He also carried under one arm a crook-handled Mal acca cane. The newcomer was somewhat short of stature, for a full-grown man. His face was round and youthful looking. His delicately molded hands were gloved. “Well, sir,” said the chief, none -oo graciously, “what’ can I do for you? What does Mr. Lamar want?” Unbidden, the caller seated himself gracefully in a chair beside the chiefs desk and drew from his pocket a little scratchpud and a pencil. Without tak ing off his right-hand glove he wrote a line or two on the pad, tore off the sheet and handed it to Chief Allefl. The chief read: “M.v name is Attman, ladle’s tailor. Mr. Lamar wishes me to look at the coat he left with you tiiis afternoon.” "Get it. ' Allen commamieu his secre tary. “It's that black coat I told you to take to the detective bureau.” Presently Jhe secretary returned with the coat which he handed to the chief. ;lie latter passed it over to the dumb youth wo had sat dully uninterested iluring the messenger’s brief absence. The caller took tiie coat, handling it with the deft skill of a born garment worker. He looked for the label, frown ed slightly at noting its then, fell to examining minutely the work manship. At last, looking up from his inspec tion, he reached for his scratchpad, glancing doubtfully once more at the coat, then scribbled: "I am almost sure this is one of ours; but I can’t swear to it. Kindley let me take the coat and show it to my head cutter. He will know at once, and our becks will show who bought it.” The chief read the scrawl, his bushy brows contracting. "Lord man!” he broke out, "I can’t turn the thing over to you, like that. It is going to be needed as evidence.” The caller got up, as though to de part. "Hold on,” said Allen, on second thought. “You can take it. But I must. -er ' Vi'•••■?»«d| kl Sccyfflim This Elegant 56-Pc. Dinner Set Is Yours The Most Gigantic Offer Os The Century.
