A reader sends us the clipping, wondering what we think about It. Here It Is : "In a courtroom crowded to capacity with creditors and stockholders of the Ambassador Hotel corporation, Federal Judge J. M. Woolsey said recently: It seems to me that the men sitting over there should stand up and let the ladles sit down.' "When the men did not budge, he added: 'Go over there, marshals, and rout them out.' The marshals obeyed and the women sat down while the men grumbled quietly to themselves, unsaying they thought the order fair." What do we think about It? Well, It all depends on what we women want. If what we want most Is thp seat a man occupies, then we should not Inquire too closely Into the method of taking It away from him. In this ense they were, we must admit, questionable. Some of those men may have been more In need of a seat than any of the women to accommodate whom they were ousted. And some were probably thore In the line of duty, while the women seated by the gallant Judge were merely spectators, presumably on pleasure bent. We repeat, If it's the seat only that Interests you, you will applaud the Judge whose motto Is apparently under all circumstances, I.adies First." If It Is chivalry on the part of men In this day and age that you care more about than the seat In court or subway or street car which they may have to give up to yon, thon you will not favor forcing thorn out of their seats. There Is no romantic satisfaction In taking a mans seat If he has to be thrown out of It. And the compulsion Is hardly conducive to developing In him a greater gallantry.

What added to the mystery was the fact that OConnor was very well known along the London docks. He was an expert In his line and never without a Job. That such a man could drop out of sight without leaving a single trace behind him seemed to be Incredible. Yet the records of the police department show that thousands of men and women disappear every year and are never heard of afterward.

Inspector Fox was designated by Scotland Yard to follow up the Investigation, and he plunged Into It with a great deal of enthusiasm. His colleagues taunted him with the hopelessness of the quest, saying that nothing would ever come of It, but Fox was not discouraged in the least. He determined to use his brains as well as his feet. So, after reviewing the whole affair in his mind, he put to himself this query : "Who was the woman In the case?" Then he proceeded to answer it by personal investigations along this line. He learned that in his younger days was looked upon as a good "catch among the ladies. In the course of his inquiries, the detective found that O'Connor had been smitten with a pretty Swiss girl named Itaux. She had once been In the service of the Duchess of Sutherland and OConnor thought well of herself.

The rivalry continued for quite a while, and between the two men pretty Marie managed to have a pleasant time. Eventually, however, the girl married Manning.

She said he had called at their house on the evening In question, had dined with them and left early.
