af proximately 6 per cent and state nppropiations. Although the Social Security program covers most civilians and military units and municipal police am fire departments are protected hv pension plans, heretofore no such service had been available to state policemen. Retirement benefits, equal to about half the average monthly sa’ary, are payable at 55 or after 20 years of service. If an officer is disabled in the line of duty, his benefit begins at the time o,f disability, if an officer is dsabled not in the lino of duty, the benefit is limited to the time he has been employed by the lepartment. The XJexible program permits retirement early or later than the normal retirement age on an adjusted basis. By taking a reduced retirement income, the member of th • State Police Department may revive benefits during the lifetime of himself or his wife. If a member leaves the department he will receive a refund of h's contributions plus 3 per cent interest After five years service, he will receive ;n addition an increasng bonus representing part of the money appropriated by the state. Pension payments will be made the dependent widow, children or parents of a state policeman who d>s in the line of duty in addition to the proceeds of his group insurance, which arc payable in event of death from any cause. The mortality hazard is reinsured through a group insurance contract with an old line legal reserve life nsurance company Disability and deoendent benefits are paid from the Police Benefit Fund which maintains i contingency reserve and an adequate margin of surplus by appr - oriations.

Synopsis — Captain Willie 0'Sh*<t has compelled his esstranged wife, Katie, to invite the great Irish Nutiontilist leader, Charles Stewart Painell, to her Eltham home for dinner, to forward his political ambitions. Her letters of invitation unanswered, Katie manages to meet Parnell at the House of Com ynons and learns that he laid seen her and been struck by her at the opera a week before, lie accepts her invitation, but an urgent message recalls him to London just as dinner star's. Learning she and O'Shea are living apart, he declares his lovefor her and asks her to belin'e in him, not in the story the ne rt day’s paper will carry charging him with responsibility for the 'Phoenix Park murders in Dub-
Chapter Five DECISION
From a seat In the ladies’ gallery of the House of Commons. Katie O'Shea watched with tense emotion the scer.e taking place on the floor. She had not been able to stay away, knowing that the news paper charge of Parnell's com- ; jilicity in the Phoenix Park mu: dors would have a savage repercus-
sion in the Houee.
A Conservative member whom she did not know, was addressing the House. "W'hf.t do these letters reveal"" he shouted. "They reveal the fact that the murders, which have shocked the whole civilized world were not the work of callous assassins, but were the result of a cold-blooded, diabolical conspiracy j and plot, conceived, hatched and directed by the man whom Ireland calls her leader the man who, on
i taken." said the leader with hypocritical suavity. "This is no trial but the offer of a commission of I inquiry. The honorable member U at liberty to reject the offer." "I will accept it," r«.-ponded Pan- ' I noil, mousing a new uproar of ong er and resentment from his followcrs. As the Irish members j u:"l out of the Chamber, a telegram was delivered to Parnell advising I him that the 11tl'i WOfl again against their oppressors H ■ looked up from reading the m - sage just as Katie O'Shi a c nu: down the stairs from th ■ la os’ gallery, furtively as though trying to escape unseen. He went quickly
to her.
"What made you come'here?" "I had to know what happened."
She started to go. then turn d back in anxiety. "What does it mean'.’ I didn't understand ' Why wouldn'' they give you an investigation by
Parliament, as you asked.' ' He led her into his private ofllc'. "We can talk here. The C
fives prefer to bring us before judges who have power to sentence
us if we should be found guilty "Branding you os a criminal al-

As Katie O’Shee, leaned forward, horror-stricken at Parnell's words | she saw Mr. Smith, the leader of the House turn to Parnell from a whispered consultation with Sir Richard Webster, the Attorney-
General.
"Mr. Speaker, sir,” he said, “the government Is not prepared to grant the honorable member's request for the appointment of a committee of members of this House." He could not make himself heard further for the tumult raised by Irish and Liberal members of the House. When quiet was partially restored he continued: "What the government will do, however, if the honorable member wishes. Is to appoint a special commission of inquiry. with three judges, to invest! gate the charges made by the newspaper, and also the political activities of the member from Cork. “and his fellow-i.»embers whoee names are mentioned in the let-
ters.”
Bitter words were flung at the House Leader by outraged Irish
members. Parnell, however, asked ; ness, but he's quietly: “The government's answer him!"
