I-Ondon. Nov 1s, —Ths‘ way 9i the transgressor is hard, n; we u‘ lﬂilht in our infancy.

Which advice is solely for the benefit of, the sinner;

Not long ago, Lord Byng, the Com. missloner of Metropolitan Police, eq- ulimed the squad with cars which can travel on the wings of the wind and fitted them with a wireless out- fit of great efficiency. The other night, he tried his plans on the dog. as it were. From s call-box in the Aladdin's Cave below Piccadilly. which is really an underground railway station in dlslulse- he telephoned to Scotland Yard. Said he - "I want a. Flying Squid w” to meet me outside Piccad- illy Station. Then he hung up. ascen. dcd into the upper air.....ancl stepp- ed into the waiting car. .

"Just picked up yr/ur message from the yard as we were coming up the street, sir," explained the officer in charge.

And that's that.

And that. no doubt. would he nice ~ for him to know. The bodies of our Victorian fore- runners may lie mouldering in the grave but thler souls go marching on. Once upon a time there was a great sculptor whose fame went out into all the world. (N0, not Mr. Epstein, There is, or there was, another), And he was commissioned to execute a. work. And he chose for his subject the Paolo and Francesca of Dante's poem. Unfortunately he did not. give that lady and gentleman any clothes. Nevertheless he was politic enough to name his work ‘Leliaiser! Anyhow. his patron presented this most beautiful creation to a certain Mayor and Corporation. Now, all might yet have been well had it. not. been for. this confounded compulsory lcducation. It. seems that the Mayor and Corporation in the course of their linguistic studies had not been con- tent to know who had seen the boots of their uncle. nor even the where- yabsuio of the pen of the gardener. ‘Perhaps by researches in Gaul they. had discovered that "Le Baiser‘ means ‘ihe kiss.’ Bo they held the counsel together and they tool: that lovely thing, wrapped it in ceremenfs, and buried“ it darkley at dead of night in s dis- tant and dismal place so mat it might l be hidden from the sight of men. The soence changes: the other night the Epstein effigies in Hyde Park and Stnlameb. called "Runs" and "Night," were bedaubed by someone unknown with tar and feathers. which shows at least that, ihere are those who are interested in Art. If ths unknown has any more material to spa-rs he might, call on the offical owners of Paolo and Francesca if ho can persuade Mrs. Grundy to give him the sddxus. - “Oh, that I had the wings of s dnve, that I might fly away and be at "rt-st." That seems to be the text on which many statesmen preach, although mighty few of them practin what they preach. There are variations, of course. in

bulb were discovered beside one ofI the bodies. The bulb, the police as- certained, had contained a. deadly gas. The authorities were at their‘ wits end until a woman came forward 1 with the information that a young‘ Russian doctor who lodged with her had become mysteriously wealthy.

The detective who was detailed lo watch this man soon reported that he was convinced of his guilt, though | there was no proof. A day or so lat- ter he himself fell a victim to the assassin. A raid on the doctors lodg- ings was then decided upon. but the police had no sooner broken down the door than their quarry began to hurl shining glam balls at them. As these struck. they burst. ,and the only policeman to escape re- ported that his comrades had col- lasped as though struck by light- nlng. When reinforcements reached tho house, they found the former raiders and the Russian maniac all dead.

It. was learned Lila‘. the dwtor,» blowing the bulbs himself, had fil- led them with a volatile poison as deadly as cyanic acid. When these were thrown the glass burst and the
