years A survey by Standard Statistics cates that while trade outlook for the immediate future is irregular a bcr of major lines are strengthening It is interesting to note that food products are making a much better showing than industry in general The belief is widely expressed that clear-cut legislative program at Washington would probably do more to initiate trade activity than any other single development at the moment The present congress has created the impression in business that almost anything may happen thus forcing industry to be extremely cautious The Boston News Bureau All of the factors now at work may make for further shrinkage in chasing power but it brings into closer readjustment the various tors that will ultimately make for And the more rapidly in- vestment

the possibility that within the next year domestic consumption of may balance production thus eliminating the need for foreign to absorb our surplus It is held that the farm mortgage situation while bad gives no cause for the hysteria that has been ing over the country in recent weeks Foreclosures for the present year if they increase in the same proportion as in 1932 will total about This is

she hurries to him finds him blind and promises to marry him But Mat a Hart is arrested as she leaves the hospital At the martial her lawyer moves for tal pointing out that no one has seen her in rooms the morning of the slaying NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY CONFESSION Dubols spoke The man had a voice as hard as granite but there was emotion behind it nevertheless He too he said loved his country just as deeply as Caron and he considered Madame Mata Hari a ace to France He had made immense efforts to secure proof that would be The dancer toothed him at it he were child a little She understood quite well that the her choice not to much to spare spare To have him divine how she bad tricked him In the put to see bear on the witness stand the agony of realization that It was he who might be the means of killing her that would be too great a shame too great a pain for her In France in trials of sort It is not the custom for the Court announce the verdict ThU It left to an attendant The clerk stepped forward crying the words of the usual Judgment in the name of the French The guard was called out and Mata Hari set before them Present The clerk then informed the oner that she had been found guilty and The Court sentences you to be executed in such manner as the military authorities may provide Mata Hari heard him through In utter calm and silence As she turned away her lips twitched slightly They permitted her to rest for a moment Maitre Caron who was weeping offered her the smelling salts am guilty necessary to convict her Always hitherto she had eluded him But this time he had made sure he had stopped up every loophole There was no lack of evidence to show that the had been in Colonel house On the contrary there was the best evidence possible the testimony of an The testimony Of a man who had seen her come out of tbe room In which Shubin lay That man I can produce He is in a hospital at present He Is blind His name is Alexander Rosanoff Mata Hari appeared to have grown taller more gaunt to tower above the accusing Frenchman Her taut hands were pressed against her sides At the sound of name she ashen white She started to and could no- Che put a handkerchief to her hob They were all waiting for her to recover In Dubols would resume his discourse and ark the court to sum ion She had to speak Her voi e ha grown dull as ff for the first time she realized her fate and yielded to it and would make no more effort is not necessary to produce him There was a long pause which seemed filled to all people in the courtroom by at deep inaudible sigh I plead guilty to the charges made by the court I shot Colonel Chubin I am guilty oat down The procedure was quickly but with little help from Carom KM MM mrl would him Hot until of at MM It M Did taM in tlw would kut BM that IMT no and the pathetic chocolates which he had provided emergency She pushed them away I do not need these I am not a baby I shall be brave They led her out of the courtroom That one is a good an old guard muttered to his neighbor in line She will know how to die It was her accolade But later in the bare cell she sat with her cape huddled around her as she had sat on the long dreary drive to the hospital when death had never been out of her thoughts The nuns could not console her She was not resigned to death She would accept it but only because she must when she she must She could not yet quite grasp the thought that it was so close to her and Maitre Caron encouraged her to repel the idea The old man had determined on a fresh attack from a different angle He would his influence He would go to the President of the Republic himself if necessary and he could surely get a stay of sentence and have the execution put off and put off till perhaps the end of the war when passions would have cooled and there would no longer seem any reason to shoot an entrancing and innocent woman For I know you are innocent in- the attorney Morally if not legally You say you killed Shubin to protect your lover who would have branded as a traitor by Shubin out of sheer jealousy When the war M my dear child this will be Look upon thin only as an he urged her Do not You been

thought of him all the time and waited only for day when they could see each other again It a long letter but followed with absorption each and every syllable of it Be would have liked the nurse to read the and commas and when she was done he begged the nurse -in some shame for he was aware that she had a thousand tasks to perform to repeat it to once He liked especially the part where she said that was not in pain I am not in pain I think of you all the time And wait for the day when we can be reunited Not long afterwards he received the expected visit from Maitre Caron who kissed him on both cheeks and called my son Mata was The doctors thought that she might need an operation oh a very minor operation but was not at all certain They wer ing that it could be avoided If no then Maitre Caron had been instructed to do everything possible to arrange for Rosanoff to come to her beforehand Not that there is anything to fear the attorney hastened to assure him But it will be such a good excuse to get the hospital authorities to let other Maitre Caron somehow avoided the word see rather to amusement understand Mata thinks of you and longs you with the time Truly in her prison moui t was nothing the dancer so longed or had so much in her mind as the blind soldier Not even the expected reprieve although Maitre Caron be- came more and more confident that he could obtain it He had already been able to get the date of execution set weeks ahead As often as possible the old lawyer would appear at the orison bearing gifts of fruits flowers and books to report further progress Everyone was very kind to het moved by her beauty and her two nuns and the who had charge of her cell the prison doctor the Driest She read a goou deal Sometimes she was quite gav and declared that she could net understand whv they insisted or shooting people at dawn Why not pt noon after a good luncheon will friends and when the sun was shin It would be so much mort cheerful But as the weeks passed and it be- came only a question of days and still Maitre Caron could bring her no definite news the nuns noticed thai more and more quietly on her cot no longer reading but with her hands folded waiting perhaps If this grim compartment of stone recalled to her other sac times of waiting before she had come tc Paris to dance no one elss knew once she told the nuns that she hai always believed that it was better to lead on earth a brief and intense ex- istence than to drag oneself through a senescence barren of beauty On the day before the one set for the execution the lawyer had an pointment with the President of the Republic It was a last resort The warder and the nuns knew of this were as tense with sympathy and pense as if the reprieve were to be brought to them Mata Hari ever busied herself with sorting her possessions At length she looked up from a suitcase with a gesture of ness and said to the nuns What can I give you? You don't want jewelry You can't use clothes younger nun murmured There's nothing We have thing we need Everything you repeated the dancer that possible We serve Gcd the other nun sii 1 and are content Mata Hari looked from one to other The younger nun was rather pretty and very there were tears in her eyes for the dancer Could she have been like that?
