Boy Sets New Page In Tragedy.
A boy killed seven persons In a
farmhouse near Nantes, France, on
night recently. The crime, whloh is
one of the most terrible recorded for
years was committed by a boy of fif
teen, Marcel Redureau who murdered
the seven people, and then went home
to bed. 'Redureau was employed by
a farmer named Mablt In the village
of Le Landreau. He and the farmer
were working In the wine vat at ten
o'clock at night, when Mablt made an
observation to the boy which he re
sented. Redureau, who had In his
hand , one of the short sharp curved
knives used to trim the viaes, imme
diately stabbed the farmer in the neck.
This Is .the boy's own description of
what happened, as the police took it
down from his lips when they had
'saved him from being lynched by the
villagers: "I. did ; not deserve what
Mabit said to me. He bad his back
turned to me, and I stabbed him with
the. knifeit. Then I saw red. . I went
straight into the farmhouse and cut
old i Madame Mabit'8.. throat. She
screamed, her daughter-in-law and the
servant came running! . I killed them
both. Then I went Into the children's
room and cut the throats of all three
(the children were eight, seven and
two years). I did not see the other
child, and I do not regret what I have
done."

"Grip Fast.?
Some interest was aroused In the
old country by the announcement
that H. R. H. the Duke of Connaught,
our governor-general, recently paid a
visit to Ireland, no doubt to And out
for King George the axact position
of matters in the Emerald isle.
' During his stay In Ireland the dukff
was the . guest of Colonel John Leslie,
veteran baronet who belongs to the
house of which the Karl of Rothes is
the head. : Colonel LeBlle, who was
formerly in the Grenadier Guards,
served in the Egyptian Expedition
hnd in South Africa. He is a promi
nent man In County Monaghan, which
his father formerly represented in the
house of commons. There is an In
teresting legend not accepted by the
family concerning ; the ' motto which
Sir John Leslie and the Earl of
Rothes have adopted "Grip Fast."
The story runs that as Queen Mar
garet of Scotland was crossing a
swollen river she was thrown from
her horse. A Leslie caught hold of
her girdle, whereupon the Queen cried
out: "Grip fast!" and, to mark her
gratitude, desired those words to be
retained as her rescuer's motto. -
