Georges Carpentier will- be given one 'week to decide whether he wants to tight Jack Dempsey for the world's heavy weight championship on or before Labor Day and if he does not meet this demand it "must be taken for granted that he does not want to meet the champion," Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, said.

"Tfiis nuttinc the match over until j he returns from Europe does not satisfy jis. "We will give Carpentier one week to say whether he wants to fight Dempsey on or before Labor Day. If he does not want to fight, then Dempsey will start a campaign among the other heavyweights of the world." . Benny Kauff to Be Tried on July 20, for Theft of Auto New York. June 17.

Holding a Jusband Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations of a Wife What Madge Saw in Her Father's Face. The house was dark, save for the light in the front hall, when my father and I came home. And there was no sound to indicate that any one in the house was awake. I was very sure from long experi ence,, where each member of the family was. Mother Graham, tired with her preparations for her jour ney, had, of course, taken Junior in her room, and both were long since sound asleep. Jim and Katie were at "the movies," they are cinema fiends of the most virulent type, while Dicky was sure to be motoring somewhere either in the small car my father had given me, and which he now condescended to use occa sionally, or in the big one. the own ership of which he shared with Al fred Durkce.

'I will be up directly, dear," he said, "after I look around a bit." 1 smiled with amused tenderness as I mounted the stairs. It is his nightly custom to make the rounds of the house and look to the fasten ings of-very door and window be fore he goes to his room. It is the only touch of fussbiess in his charac ter, and one can hardly dub it even tliat. His experiences in South America and elsewhere as a secret rgent of his country's diplomatic service have made him watchful, suspicious, cautious where a person used to ordinary pursuits would be careless. As I listened to his footsteps re ceding toward the rear of the house there flashed into my mind a thought which for a moment made me grip tightly the balustrade of the stairs Was it my fancy or was he being more thorough tonight than usual? His progress was certainly slower. Was perhaps the image of Gr ice Draper obsessing his mind as it had mine? "Will You Help" I pulled myself together with a little contemptuous shake. If f didn't put a bridle rein upon my imagina tion, I told myself firmly, I should be seeing Grace Draper's evil beauty in every shadowy room or on every crowded street. I hastened to throw open my Own room door and turn on the lights. Their brightness and the illumination of my familia? fur niture helped me to throw off the thought of the girt whom I so dreaded, and to make ' my simple preparations for my father's visit. I hung my hat and coat in the closet, cleared my reading table of books and magazines, and drew two easy chairs before it. 1 had just thrown open the lid of the big "keepsake trunk," which had been my mothers, and which Mother Graham had futilely coveted to hold linens and blankets for our south ern trip, when my father's low knock sounded on the door.

His gaze went at once to the open, trunk. 1 heard him catch his breath, sharply, and he went toward it a ' most with the look of a sleep walker upon his face, and stood looking; down into its depth. I followed him across the room and put my hand upon his arm. A Tense Moment. "Will you help me with thet things, father, Itlcar?'' I asked, indi eating numerous tied packages oi my own belongings which filled the top of the big receptacle, I felt that it would be better for him tc occupy his hands than to stand thus, gazing down as if the thing below him were an open grave. "Of course, child," he answered, coming back to himself with-an evi dent start. And for the next few minutes we worked hurriedly, but methodically, transferring the bum dies that filled the top of the bij trunk to a temporary resting placa upon the bed. When the last layer had been re moved I plucked from its place big sheet of brown wrapping paper which had separated my own thing, from the little old haircloth trunk: of my mother, which I always kept for safety in the bottom of the big ger one, and which she had packed for me with her mementoes in the days of her last illness. As I did so 1 shot a furtive, frightened look at my father, for l knew that hp must have many memories of this ancient box, little bigger than a suitcase of today, which Miy mother prized so highly, and in which she always kept her most precious things. For one tense moment he stood silent. Then with a swift movement he stooped, snatched the little InviJi up in his arms as if it had been living thing, and turned away from me toward the table. But I had caught a glimpse of his fare. It was that of one who sees a vision. (Continue TomorrowJ vyvYYVVWVAA)VnnA the Chocolate Shop, Lunches. Drinks. Ices. Ice Cream are served.
