A tall, white-haired man is pointed out to him as the White Eagle, himself a super-criminal. Ainsley suspects that the White Eagle is attempting to swindle Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Higgins, wealthy Cincinnati, Ohio, person, who are seated at a table with him. Next morning Ainsley finds that a club for one-eyed mi n has been founded on the Rue des Saintcs Peres. Ke has reason to believe the White Eagle to be the founder, and ques tions a one-eyed man who comes out of the building. » * • NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “But yes, monsieur!’’ He almost capered in delight. As I have said, my French is feeble. Yet I managed to gather from his excited speech that all the applicants had been ad mitted to Club membership, that not only were there no dues, but that those members who were in need were to be granted annuities, that the Club was to have an outing upon a river steamer next week, oi which occasion detailed plans were to be submitted to the membership by its benefactor. “Did you meet the patron him self?” I asked. “M. Armand Cochet? But surely, monsieur. A noble gentleman, white of hair, and with a manner of a prince.” “I think I saw him enter, then,” said I. “A man with a great nose.?” “Monsieur is correct,” said the man. “And with an eye like an eagle, and the heart of a dove. Os a truth, a great man.” “But certainly,'” I agreed. I congratulated my friend, parted from him with mutual expressions of esteem, and walked toward the river. And the farther I walked, the more incredible it seemed to me that the White Eagle, or M. Armand Cochet, could be engaged in such an astounding philanthropy as that in which I had discovered him this morning. And yet, battling against, my disbelief, was my knowledge of the impetuous kindnesses of those who live by their with. Perhaps: the White Eagle pacified his consci ence by such a typically Gallic charity.

Os course . though, I must not forget, that ac ; cording to my fair companion of c iassnight, the White Eagle had nev -1 er yet been convicted of crime. Per “ haps he did not fear public interest ■ in him. 1 But it was among the ordinary probabilities that one or more of the ’< applicants attracted by his bizarre advertisement should be of the crim inal class. One would expect the White Eagle to be fearful or rocog ’ nition by such a one. Still, beggars ; can’t be choosers, and I suppose the ' White Eagle felt that those in need of charity, for the Club was obvious ly a charitable affair, would not be inclined to question the source ol the revenues which were to be ap 1 plied to their wants. 1 But I had given altogether too much of my thought to the White Eagle and bis affairs. I confessed 1 myself, finally, beaten. I could neither understand what could be the relation between the supercrook ’ and the miiionaire, nor why the White Eagle should institute a phil i anthropy. I vowed that I would 1 think no more on these matters, if L in the dealings between Higgins and ’ the white-haired man there lay opportunity for me, I would forego it. I would not drive myself to ■ distraction by futile speculation. ’■ Nor w’ould I be ashamed of my in - ability to strip the disguise from the '■ figure of Opportunity. I would await her next passing, hoping that she would be more easy to recogni tion then. Even though one has rented a furnished apartment, and has lived in it only a few months, one finds that little by little one has acquired a considerable quantity of posses sions. I was sailing in two days; 1 could not afford to be willfully ex travagant; so I spent the rest of this day in dealings with secondhand merchants, realizing a few thousand francs. The next day I spent in , packing and shipping my trunks and , in purchasing some necessaries for the trip. And the next morning, promptly at nine o’clock, I passed through the train gates at the Gare du Nord, and entered a first-class carriage. Having seen to it that my bags were safely deposited in a corner of the carriage, I walked to the platform to watch the rest of the travelers. I strolled as far as the train gates, puffing at a cigaret. 1 was about to turn back when I saw, accompanied by a maid, a valet and an obsequious-seeming youth who was unquestionably the million aire’s secretary, Mr. and Mrs. Hig gins. I had not examined the passen ger-list, and so was surprised at their arrival. But beyond a nat ural interest at the coincidence, 1 should have thought very little about it, had not they been fol lowed through the gates by a man who was blind in one eye. Not merely that, but he was indisput ably one of the group with which I had collided on a corner of the Rue des Saints Peres! I could not be mistaken; the fact that his dress was much improved, that he had been to a barber, made no difference. In that first moment of shock, when I had realized that all these loiterers on the sidewalk were blind, the features of those Miom I beheld were ineradicabiy impressed upon my memory.

Committee composed of three will have charge of the afternoon’s out ing. Twenty-one Rotarians have volunteered the use of their cars. President Walter Rylander will en tertain the party at his peach pack ing plant. The committee in charge is J. E. Hightower, Herbeit Hawkins and John Prance. By resolution, the Rotary club Wednesday requested the officials of the swimming pool to extend the privileges of the pool to those at tending the summer school. the young men, young women and their teachers are here from many points in Georgia and we want Hicm to know our county, its people and ap preciate the spirit of hospitality that exists here,” J. E. Hightower said to the club. Frank Sheffield requested the club and the Chamber of Commerce co use their influence to have the national government .nclude Sum ter county in the agricultural survey it is now making in a number < f Southwest Georgia counties. The matter was passed to the chamber of commerce for action, after receiv ing the endorsement of the IvJtaiy club. A number of visitors were pres ent at the luncheon yesterday at the Windsor. _________ worry no more about Higgins and the White Eagle, left me. Indeed, I watched eagerly for the arrival o! the supercrook. But he did not come, though I waited until the last moment before the train started. I strolled through the train short ly after we pulled out from the sta tion. The Higgins party occupied two private compartments), as 1 could tell from the half-opened doors. The one-eyed man shared a compartment with three other peo ple, American tourists. The one-eyed man, then, was not part of the Higgins entourage. -He had exchanged no signs of recogni tion with the millionaire as thqy passed through the train gates, ..al though they had been close enough to touch each other. Puzzled, bewildered, almost fran tic because I could not peer through curtains behind which, I was con-’ vinced, a play of vital significance to me was being performed, I rode to Cherbourg. I was no wiser at the end of the railway journey. In deed, I was no wiser six days later when the Altaria was only a night from her dock in New York. * * * Daddy those six days I had ob served, as closely as I could with out drawing attention to myself, Higgins and the one-eyed man. But although nearly every one of the first-class passengers, including myself, exchanged words, at some time or other, with the millionaire, the one-eyed man never, to my knowledge, even exchanged a look with Higgins. The one-eyed man kept to himself; whenever he walk ed the deck, he was alone; he never seemed to utter more than monosyl lables to his table-mates in the sa loon; he neither offered nor accept ed hospitality in the smoke-room, but drank alone. On the night before we landed, I attended the concert in the lounge. I sat with a couple of chance ac quaintances near the door, where we watched the various arrivals, exchanged banter with them, and gossiped, after the fashion of travel ers, about their manners, appear ances, probable income, and flirta tions during the voyage. Then, as Mr. and Mrs. Higgins passed .through the wide doors, we all \hree gasped. i Higgins was worthy of note. His white waistcoat was fastened with emerald buttons; he wore a soli tairf diamond on one hand that must have weighed a dozen carats and been worth a fortune. A solid rope of diamonds hung from his watch pocket, supporting a ruby fob.’ His vulgarities had formed the bass of half the smokt-rocm talk during the trip, but this ostenta tion, in excessively bad taste, out did Anything else. But he was dif fident as compared with his wife. Iti was not alone that her gown i was I cut so low that one blushed Aldo Finzi I 'a **' J7 ' . ..-aHT \ : \ ! \ Aldo Finzi, right-hand man of Mussolini, who has been accused of instigating the disappearance and murder of the Socialist Dep uty Matteotti. As th e result of the scandal and general indigna tion following the alleged mur der, the Fascisti government is imperiled. Finzi has quit, fol lowed by the cabinet. with vicarious shame, wondering that so ill-formed a woman should care to expose her muddy flesn. It was not that her jewels were so ex pensive, even; it was that she wore such an unbelievable number of them. She seemed plastered with precious stones, until one forgot how low her dress was cut. I had read Os her jewels, but has assum ed that the newspaper writers had been guilty of the usual Sunday sup plement exaggeration. Now I knew that they had been restrained. And one jewel, a pearl hanging from a chain until it rested like a round white grape upon hor bosom, held my fascinated eyes. It drew my companions’ attention, too, for one of them, Brokaw by name, men tioned it. “Get the pearl?” he whispered "Got any idea what that thing’s worth?” I shook my head. “I know,” he said. “I was in Maret’s on tiie Rue de la Paix, the day they bought it. Me,” he chuckled, “buying a thou sand-france brooch to-take home to the Missus, and thinking what a hit I’d make with her!

The katydids call in a note that is clear and the whippoorwills whis tle their tune. You shortly discov er that nature is here and you’re, lost in its realms pretty soon. The breezes are blowing a lily that’s growing nearby and it beck ons to you. We glide to the thick et where gently you pick it to take in our tippy canoe. 'Tis all ’magination; a one-day’s vacation, and quiet and silent you’ve sat. The boat and the stream are, in truth, just a dream, but I’ll bet you feel better, at that.

HUNT NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, July 10. —Polliti .;■! bosses are human sert of folks, de spite all the mean things that are said about them. Doubtless it is the human element in their composition that wins them the following which enables them to be bosses. For the successful boss rules thrugh the loyal adulation of his henchmen rather than by fear. Take George Brennan, czar of rampant Democracy of Chicago Brennan, big-bodied, big-fisted, stomping about on his wooden leg, might double for a piratical John Silver. His bushy eyebrows have a way of cocking themselves slant wise that alone is quite terrifying. And his voice, swelling from his barrel-like chest, rumbles like the wrath of Jehovah. » ♦ » All of which fits into a proper picture of a political boss. But there is a benignant, paternal, kind ly side to Brennan that quite belies his title and his looks. One of his young ward workers in an outlying district of Chicago, who had been doing heor;c work for the organization in a subordinate capacity until a few years ago, found this out quite to his surprise. He had his eyes on the position of ward leadership, which he felc he had won by his efforts. So he mus tered up courage to go and tell Brennan about it. j He found Brannan in and pro ceeded to state his case. He told what he had done and what he be lieved he could do in the future. i Brennan listened without a word, his hands clasped across his stom- I ach, his teeth clamped in the butt I of a black' cigar, his eyebrows cock ed at their most disconcerting angle. | When the budding politician nad finished, Brennan grunted and sa; silent, puffing clouds of thick smoke. “So you want to be ward boss, eh? Nothing doing!” The young man started to protest but was stopped by a thundering “Shutup!” No, I 11 not make you a ward boss!” Brennan shouted. “I should say not.” Thgn, dropping his voice to a burbling rumble, he continued. “I’m gojng to send you to Con gress.” And he did. * * « A somewhat different sort of boss is Tom Taggart of Indiana. Tom is more polished in appear ance and method than Brennan. He is more of the diplomat and less of the bull-dozer. Having been, by appointment, in the United States senate for a tina, Tom acquired the dignified title of “senator,” which he still wears. Senator ' Taggart, you will notice, sounds much more genteel than ”Bpss” Brennan. In addition to being the political boss of Hoosier Democrats, Tom is a hotel keeper. In fact, being a hotel keeper probably enabled him to become boss.
