Last week Editor Blossom pronounced the experiment a success. In the first month the black seal of an accepted story was broken to admit Borden Chase, a hydraulic engineer.

Bright and early next morning, Turkish officers courteously conducted Professor and Mrs. Borden to the scenes of their molestation. When they identified the sentry and the six other soldiers these were promptly clapped under military arrest with promise of a rigorous court martial.
