Read Now this Great Narrative of Real Life m 'F PETER THE PAINTER Secrets of the Mystery Man Who Baffled the Police of Two Continents REVEALED BY Richard Wayne THE STRANGE HOUSE. "■ A NDKEW, I am going to take you out of this at once" John Court, a lean, brown-faced young Bian of twenty-eight, clapped his elder brother affectionately on the back, while his eye* roved discontentedly about the shabby consulting-room. "Help you to spend your fortune, I stipposo. raid Dr. Andrew Court. No, John. my life work lies here. I am face to face here with a mystery that I must solve 11 Here, in Stepney! exclaimed the younger man incredulously- A mystery that fascinates you! Impossible!" Dr. Court took out his watch. "In a few minutes' time you shall see for youre-elf." he said. Come up to my loom." They passed up the stairs to the doctor's bedroom, r, hich. like his con- sulting room, overlooked the dinginess ci Goldtreet. The sash was raised, but the curtains were drawn and pinned together. Methodically the doctor took from a peg in the wardrobe a pair of field glasses, end, standing by the side of the open window, but shielded from outside obser- vation by the drawn curtains, focuspod them upon soma object further up the Street. Stand here," he directed his brother. Now, you see the second house past the lwBp-post, on the other side. Take the glr««es, and focus them upon the window Of the epcond floor. Take care that you 4Lre lot seen. -Teh,n Court did as he was directed. Well? asked the doctor. There is a man e;ttinp at the open wiadow. He has a painting on an ea:Õf>1 before him, at which he is working: & glaring futurist thing in hideous orange and green cubes." Ql1 itA so. Now look to the window above him." I A sharp exclamation of surprise broke from the younger man's lips, and his attitude bame one of strained attention. It cannot be." hh brother heard him tuutter. Surely it cannot bo she??' < "That is « strange house," the (lodol-1 en id. "1 haven't time now to tell you i what litHe I know of it, for I must start I tjpon my round of visits. Watch for your- aelf. and when I came back we phall corn- Mre notes, and I will tell you what little I I know." WRECKED BODY AND qOT7T,. I I have told you, Andrew, John Court I nid to his brother after dinner that even- 1 ]a", what I was doing before I stumbled on the diamond mine that made mo a rich man. I was railroading in 9oiitlt I Brazil-ix months on construction work I ir. th«r wilds, and then two months vaca- tion in civilisation. "It wos during one of those long holi- days in Buenos Ayree that I met Thelma I Verschenin. who was staying with her aunt at the ?amo hotel as myself. When I returned b my nulronding in Brazil, Aniirrw. Tb-Imai and 1 were engaged. j One of my colleagues, a young Ameri- c-an named Potter, and a great chum of I minI". wont away to Buenos in his turn. ¡ fic. came back a ruined man. wrpckcd body and soul. He existed only to drown Rome terrible memory in drink and drugs. and in that climate the two things soon made an end of him He told all to me clearly enough. When in Buenos Ay res he had fallen tinder the syvll of a notorious actress who was appearing at th. Prada Tinder the xiaino of Mirza, a woman whose reputa- tion mn through the remotest parts of ftouth Amarica. It was her will that ho should join a saeret society of which she Was a leridl'ig ttt?.raSer, a e-'e.ivty which preached an inhuman new brand of orlarehv. and at the head of which was T'eter the Painter, who, I think, lives in that house opposite." "Ttlis woman calls herself Mirza?" •sked the doctor. Yes. What crime those two forced Potter to commit he never told roe: it W.t1.B something so horrible that he shrank I ?"m putting it into any coherent words. Then they sent him away to die, with a man at his elbow all the time to see that I, he did not break the oath of secrecy he | had taken: that man. Fritz Sfvaars. I saw in the strpot when you were ont to-day." Dr Court reached for the morning paper and turned over the pages. "1 was glad when my vacation came round again," continued John, with a I'ttl,P frown. for had not heard from Thelma for some months. ft When I arrived in Buenos I went to my hotel with joyous anticipation of my re-imion with tho woman I loved. Andrew I found she had been gone for five nionths, and had left no messajye or trace behind her I was stunned by the discovery, and in the very moment when the news wns imparted to me my eyes i chanced to filll upon a pi go. of the Pre-nza/' in whieh was reproduced a pLoicgnnph of the notorious Mirwi." John Court took a wallet from his pocket and produ'-ed two photographs, which he silently laid before his brother. Wonder grew on the doctor's face as ho looked from one picture to the otqn. What can I say, John? he asked. They appear to be pictures of the same, woman, yet one is the face of a good woman, and the other is not. And both fvppeoT to he the pictures of the woman who sits at that window opposite, yet each is in some subtle way different." As you say," agreed John Court. But at that moment I had no doubt. I behaved like a madman, rushing off to the great hotel where Mirza stayed and forcing my- self into her presence. He was with her -P,otp,r the Painter—and the pair were vastly amused at my behaviour." She denied all knowledge of you? On the contrary, she introduced me T3 an old sweetheart. In twenty minutes z,ho had b-nn to cast her spell apon me. For weeks I was her slave." And then ? "Ttien Fritz Sraars appeared, and I thought it botEt to disapy-at." A long silence fell upon tiie pair, broken -it Inst by Dr. Court, who passed jobt, the daily paper, pointing out n paragranh with his forefinger. John Court took it and rend: THE PANTHEON. I Snceeesful First Appearance of the New Music-hall Star, Mirza. MITRDEK ? Late that night Dr. Court was sum- I moned to the mysterious house opposite by Fritz Svaars. John Court went with him. Fritz Svaars conducted them up a flight of stairs. At the head of the second flight q door was open, reveling a mean rooui, lit with a timing, uncovered gas-jet. In the corner stood a group of foj^sign men. who were watching with anxious looks a girl who bent over ti,o bed. In the bed lay a man, apparently un- conscious. Doctor Cuurt threw back the bed. cover, and made a rapid .examination of the man, which readily revealed the fr.ct that two bullets had passed through his chest. Swiftly the doctor administered a re- storative murmuring to Jobn, He may apeak before he dies." Hardly had he uttered the words whe* his patient opened hiS eves and stared about hiiu whereupon the girl beni over him crying: It ;8 the doctor, Jacob; now is the time for you to speak." One of the men parted forward, but Fritz promptly inb'rpo-?d himself between the iQ?&ring ?rou? and the bed. Yes L e mtcn'upt?d, w?h a bn:t? hugh.

I want to put ¡ it in writing th:;¡.z my action was due to ¡ jealousy of thi, girl, Vera. Write that, doctor, and write vt quickly. I wish to I sign it before I d'e." Dr. Court wrote out a statement in the 1 -terms dictated by the dying man, and affixed his name as w; tness to the signa- ture, Jacob Sch'emm." A few minutes later Jacob Sehlemm was dead, and John Court and his brother stumbled down thi stairs to return home.

Other schools and colleges have loan funds. The lack of euch a fund has luften been felt iu this echool, and it is thought that there are many of the older "-Id boys of the school who would tike to1 show their appreciation of the LeL-efitf, Ih.,y have received by helping in t,hi!o: way. It is 110,i;ii that a sum of £:!(W or £ •>00 may be raised and placed under the management of the Mayor and two or three f isenfative old boys to be ap- pe:nA che meeting.

AGAINST SERBIA. HUNGARIANS DECLARE WAR It is stated on high authority that the Soviet Government of Hungary has de- clared a Bolshevik war against Serbia ami the surrounding countries, and that it has opened its frontier towards Russia. Skirmishing between French and Hun- garian detachments has taken place at Szegeden, in South Hungry. the Central Workmen's Council in Ber- lin has Pa-eA l'eso luton congratulat- ing the Uuugarmn Soviet Government on its formation and promising full sup- port. EASY TO QUELL? ) Prince Windischgraeti, a Hungarian living in Switzerland, states that 2,000 .British and French troops could restore affairs in Haugary if they were sent now. Meantime tiie Rumanian Army in Tran- sylvania hiw crot-sed to the north of the ltiver MarQ8, on its way to take up a position ou tile, east of the neutral zour in Hungary marked out by the Allies la- week, which was one of the reasons CoUll' Karolyi gave for handing over the Gov- ernment to the Bolsheviks.

I THE SWANSEA i COLLEGE. llt t. I I —————————— j Report of the Visiting: I Centre. I EKïSTHG PBOVlBIONS • • NOT SUFFICIENT. i she Site of the College. The epecial committee appointed to re- port on the proposal for the Swansea technical Cohege to become a constituent college of the University has just re- ported to the Court of the University of j1 YVaies. 'Jji-ey say in effect that the general im- [ pression made on tiiem by their Visit is that Swansea is well iitted to become a centre of such intluc-nco as may be exer- cised by a-constituent college, and that thfe'present moment is particularly oppor- tune for a forward 61.11 in this direction. They are ,ery much imprce?d by the ? serious view which the local authorities  take of the magnitude of the problem which coniroms them, and by their de- I termination to deal with it in a compre- hensive and liberal spirit. THE SITE. I The present buildings and equipment, and the existing provision for higher tstudy and research at the S wansea Tech- nical School, however, are not sufficient to justify the conversion of the school into a constituent college. The plans of the proposed buildingg ior Mathematics, Chemistry, Physios, .Engineering, and Metallurgy provide sufficient space, but adjustments are required. With regard to the site, the committee believe that a satisfactory ecries oi building could be built upon the present Grammar School site with a dignity and unity of their own, adequate for housing both the technical and arts departments for some time to come. Other proposals such as that of taking the college on to the top of the hilt, somewhere near the existing Training College, of placing it in Singleton Park, when that shall be acquired, are the committee understands, regarded as out- side the range of immediate practical politics. We desire, however, to call attention to this matter, and to point out that the present site, even when developed, will provide no facilities for recreation or for I athletics, and may probablv hardly suffice for the normal development of the College iu, say, the next thirty years." PROPOSALS. The plans are discussed on the whole favourably, but the committee think that before being adopted they should be thoroughly reconsidered. Probably the beat way of attaining this would be to appoint the principal and at least some of the professors before any new buildings are begun." Regarding tho proposal to merge the existing Training College into a depart- ment of the proposed University College, the Committee says that from the point of view of the development of the Faculty of Arts, the proposal has un- doubted advantages, and it would be "especially helpful during the time of transition pending the completion of the new building. It was proposed in the Swansea scheme to oiier the ProfeEsor of Education at the outset Cl,ooo a year; the Committee have some doubt of the neces- city for such a salary. NEED OF YOUNG PROFESSORS. They state their opinion that, speaking generally, professors or heads of depart- ments should be comparatively voung oien or young women of distinguished academic records. Youth and enthu- siasm, coupled with the quantitations we have already named, will be more import nt for laying; the foundutions Of. and building up, the. new Faculty of Ar." The Committee do not think the pro- posals for Classics adeciliafe, and they also criticise th propoea! of a e;ngl<? lecturer in history at £ 350. With regard to Celtic, they think it will be unnecessary in the first instance to provide for its advanced study, but the present lectureship for the benefit of stu- dents who are to teach in Welsh-speaking -chools might bo maintained. COURSES FOR THE PUBLIC In a town like hwanjea, the report continues, whore we are satisfied that there is 7;e;il for education and a desire for knowledge, the members of the Arts stnff should regard it as an essential part of their duties to provide courses, itot merely single lecture, for the general 'I' public,' and from this point oi view they think the proposal of a professorship of II Economics is well justiiied. They express the opinion that it would be well to link up the Fine Art School al- ready existing with the College, eo as to co-ordinate so far as possible all the acti- vities of the town in this sphere of higher education. Sir Gregory Foster and Professor P. E. Matheson finally stato thnt with the sug- gested modifications they consider thai the proposed provision tor highi-r educa- tion in the Arts Faculty,i. t^li*factory. ALD. IVOR GWYNNE'S VIEWS. Ald. Ivor Gwynne, the ehairmun of the Swansea Education Ccir.nr.itee, told a Leader representative on Friday morning that he considered the report a I very favourable one. Mr. Gwynne men tioned that Swansea, in his opinion!, was not adequately represented on the Celtic I Committee, and he would raise that matter SIt an early date. He explained that the Swansea authori- ties had practically been assured by the 1 Commission that recognition will be granted before the new buildings are erected, upon the promise of the Swansea Education Authority that they will deal adequately with the departments con- cerned. j

SWANSEA POLICE UNION. I A contributed report says:— At a large meeting of the Swansea Branch of the Nat.ional Union of Po let, and Prison Officers, held at the Elysium Hall, on Thursday night, a letter was read from London to the effect that P.C. Frank Tovey, of the Borough Police, has tho distinction of being elected by the council of delegates as a member of the Executive of the Union. The result of a ballot for officers for the Swansea Branch of the U nion wa announced: Bro. P. Taylor (H.M. Prison), chairman; P.C. n. Price (Borough Police), vice-chairman; P.C Percy Keep (Borough "oli,ce), secretary; and P.C. Frank Tovey (Borough Police), organiser. The welfarl of the looal branch is considered well assured in the bands of these very popu- lar officers. Nominations for committeemen were re- ceived for the ensuing year, and every- thing points to the organisation being well established tocany.

I "THE CURSED POPPY." The enterprising management of the Elysium, Swansea, have exclusively fa- eured a red-hot drama next week in The Cursed Poppy," drn? drama whieth reveals the paóionae. craving and the terrible tentacles of the black smoke The story is woren round a millionaire, whose only pelse;on is money- grabbing, and the retribution that follows wb-enhis son, th.-ough failure of a loving father's guiding hand, falls a victim to temptation The descert into the p;t is ,wift and sure, and the drug-sodden opium Bead is seen drawn into the scum of a great o'-tw's cesspool. It is through- out a drama of absorbing psychological interest.

Messrs. the Commercial Corrwr Co., Ltd., St. ITelen's-road, Swansea, were summoned at Swansea on Friday for a broach of the Factory and Workshops Act—empl oying a young person, one Jack (Jreen, contrary to the Act, on February 22nd, also with employing » young 'Person under 16 years of ólg'e for a period of mure, than seven days without a doctor's certi- ficate—John Jenkins—on February 24th, 1919, and were fined 9.1 in each

READY tEXT WEEK P I The Peace Treaty. PR0BMLE8I8NAMEBY EASTER. PARIS, Friday. The fcur Allied Heads of the. Govern- ment held two nieedrirjs yosterday, the lirst early in the n oruing at President Wilson's bouse, and the second in the late afternoon at Al Clemenceau's room at the Miir&try of War. In the meeting they heard M. Lonohesir, Minister of Industrial Reconstruction, who presumably attended in connection with the econom c situation of Germany and her resources to pay the indemnity which the Allies will demand. The afternoon sitting, lasting an hour and a qua iter, was attended by Marshal Foch, with Generals Pershing, Sir Henry Wilson an.l L>:az. In French diplomatic circles it is pointed out that the presence of Marshal Foch and o"hor Allied Generals is a suffi- cient indication that the discussion was of a military order, and it is concluded that clie Council dealt with measures to be taken in view of the establishment of the Soviet regime in Budapest—measures which it ia thought will be of an inter- Allied /character -eyeing that the chiefs of the difictent Entente Armies were con- i suited. PEACE TREATY NEXT WEEK. Speaking generally, Peace Conference ol'rcles appear satisfied with the results which the new method of working in small committee is understood to have so far produced, and it if ho-poo that the Peace Treaty with Germany will be reached to- wa-Is the end of next week. SlESWIG QUESTIONS. Outside the conferences of the Great Four," the Allied Foreign Ministers are now holding daily meetings at the Quai d'Grsay, when questions of a less urgent nature are (iiscussod. Thus yesterday they are Understood to have dealt witii Slcswig questions, and it is stated that to-morrow the question of raisin g the blockade of Hungary may be considered. It is pointed out in French diplomatic circles that no connection should be drawn between the more rapid progress oi the labours of the Councii of Four and the arrival at Versailles next Sunday of the German Financial Commission. This 'I COlllmission was summoned by he Eco- nomic Council, ??o?c task is solely to di&- cuss the financial arrangements relative to the feeding of Germany, and whose powers do not extend beyond this ques- tion. This shows clearly enough that t.n German Financial delegates are not com- ing to France to learn ,.he yreUcn.nary peace terms. PREPARING FOR VERSAILLES French diplomatic circles eta'a tlnt the Preliminary Peace Treaty will hardly be ready for communication to »)»e Ger- nian6 before the second wfttl in April, and that the meeting be'wt«n the repre- ntutives of the Entente and the German plenipotentiaries will then take place at Versailles, It is pointed out that while Versailles has been definitely selected icr this purpose, it has not been decided where exactly at Versailles the p. ti- liminary peace meeting will be held, as only the final Peace Treaty wili be signed in the Galerie des Glaees at the Palace of Versailles. BEFORE EASTER. Th? general impression is that every I lc-ffo,rt is bpin? made for the preliminary I Treaty to be signed before Eter. I

-v I MUMBLES PARK KEEPER. Mr. Thomas Griliiths, who has been in charge of the Mumbles Park for several years, is about to relinquish that appoint- ment. Mr. Griffiths, who is an expert horticulturist, received many cowgwrfas*- lations for the excellent way he kept the flowers, which, in the summer, was one of the most pleasant attractions of Mumbles." Mr. Griffiths, previous to coming to,. Swansea, was employed as chief gardener with Baron de Rutzen, at Slebech Castle, and with of her equally well-known fami- lies. Mr. Griffiths is one of the mbst genial and obliging of gentlemen, and hia*- presence at the park will be eŒ' missed.
