In a dark corner of the cell, something metallic glinted. He walked over to it. It was a file, tossed there with slight attempt at concealment after the escape had been made ready. Vilnk picked it up. It was shining with the bits of metal it had cut from the bars. He glance-l at the name of ths maker cut into the trianuglar shaft, then at a small mark hammered into the metal i a quarter of an inch from the name. j "Humph," he run mured to himself. ; "This comes frr>m Elise's fn/cn.ia.' 1 ., The file had been manufacture .1 by tlie I American factory from which she j bought all tools of this description nnd at the side of the maker's name bore hammered into the metal the ! swastika which was cut or painted 'upon all material immediately OM its arrival at th'! fcuenda. Slipping it uiiol trusively into his pocket, he walk- ed cutside again, wished the gendarme the least of punishments, and hurried back to his shop.

Then in the fash ionably cut dress of the inimnculat' Attorney Davis, he rode up to the fnzenda. There he met Elise and the old man, who at her urgent request had given up his room at the hotel and established himself in the com- fortable chamber he had occupied on his first night in her house. In the afternoon it began to rain, but notwithstanding, Hie iwo night. The three were at bre ikfast when the kinky-haired little negress who was swing them came out from the kitchen and approached Elise timidly. "What is it, aria?" Elise asked.

LITERATURE AND LIFE One of the greatest mistakes the moralists many of whom are literary critics make is to imagine that liter- ature is primarily a representation of life. Of course, It Is nothing of the sort. Life consists for the most part ot innumerable ordinary moments of which the lives of ordinary peoplo are made up. Literature scrupulously pushes aside the ordinary person, or takes him Into account only In some moment in which ha becomes extra- ordinarily Interesting or beautiful.
