atinss forthe
coming contest
were
continued with tutabated vigor on boss
sides, Contrary to all expectations,
Ralph Mal5waring, so far from object-
ing to the postponement of the case,
took special pains to express his entire
satisfaction with this turn of affairs,
"Il is an indication of conscious
weakness on their part," he remarked
with great complacency, as he and
Mr, Whitney were dieing at the club
on the following cty.' "They have
evidently discovered some flaw in their I
defence which it will take some time
to repair. 1 can afford to wait, how-
ever;
owever; my attorneys and experts will
soon be here, and while our side could
easily have been in readiness its a
moth shorter time, this, of course,
will give us an opportunity for still
more elaborate preparation, so that
we will gain an immense advantage
over then,"
"1 suppose, Mr. Mainwaring," said
one of his listeners, giving a quick
side -glance at his companions, " 1
Suppose that during this interior a
truce will be declared, and for the
time heing there will be a cessation of
hostilities between the parties ice in-
terest,will there not?"'
"Sir" roared Rlaph Mainwaring,
transfixing the speaker with a stare
calculated to annihilate hint.
"1 beg pardon, sir, 1 intended no
offence," continued the irrepressible
young American, ignoring the warning
signals from his associates; "it only
occurred to me that with such an
immense advantage on your side you
could afford to be magnanimous and
treat your opponent with some con-
sideration."
"I am not accustomed to showing
magnanimity or consideration to any .
but my own equals," the other re-
joined, witih freezing dignity; "and
the fact that my 'opponent,' as you
are pleased to designate him, is for the
present, allowed liberty to go and
come at his pleasure, although under '
strict su'veilance, is in this instance, I
sufficient consideration."
"Harold Scott Mainwaring under sur-
veillance? Incredible!" exclaimed one ,
of the party in a low tone, while the '
first speaker remarked, "I certainly
was unaware that the gentleman in
question was to be regarded in the
light of a suspected criminal!"
"It is to be presumed," said Ralpft
Mainwaring, haughtily, stung by the
tinge of Irony in the other's tone;
"that there are a number of points in
this case of which people in general
are as yet unaware, but upon which i
they are likely to become enlightened'
in the near future, when this person
who has assumed such a variety of
roles will be disclosed in his true light,
—not that of a suspected criminal,
merely, but of a condemmed criminal,
convicted by a chain of evidence every
link of which has been forged by him-
self,"
There was an ominous silence as
Ralph Mainwaring rose from the table,
broken at last by an elderly gentleman
seated at a little distance, who, white
apparently
an Interested listener,
had
taken no part in the conversatio.
"Begging your pardon, Mr. Main-
waring, i would judge the charge
which you would prefer against this
young man to be unusually serious;
may 1 inquire their nature?"
The words were spoken with the
utmost deliberation, but in the calm,

lenge, which was. all that was needed
at that instant to fan Ralph Mainwar-
ing's wrath into a flame. Utterly dis-
regarding a cautionary glance from Mr.
Whitney, he turned his monacle upon
the speaker, glaring at hint in con-
temptuous silence for a monent.
"You have decidedly the advantage
of ate, sir, but allow me to say that
the person under discussion has not
only, with unheard of effrontery, pub-
licly and unblushingly proclaimed him-
self as a blackmailer and knave, capa-
ble of descending to any perfidy or
treachery for the purpose of•favoring
his own base schemes, but he has also,
in his inordinate greed and ambition,
unwittingly proved himself by his own
statements and conduct to be a villain
of the deepest dye; and I will say, fur-
thermore, that if Harold Scott Main-
waring, as he styles himself, ends his
days upon the gallows in expiation of
the foul murder of Hugh Mainwaring,
he will have only himself to thank, for
his own words and deeds will have put
the noose about his neck."

Little Question Done With
Figures.
All Metal Must be Removed—Nitrogen

Much of the metal shells and debris

great that it would be a source of an-

tiller of the soil. A systematic sweep-
ing, so to speak, of all the bombarded
regions will be necessary.

The following apparent fulfilment
of a prophecy . made in France in
1915 regarding the end of the war
and published in the Figaro has been
handed to The Star by Mrs. Bolster,
34 Willcocks street. The prophecy
was based on one made at the time
of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870,
which was that taking the years
1870 and 1871 and adding together
the total was 3,741. Adding the first
two and the last two figures one
ges 10 and 5, which was then point-
ed out meant that the war would
end on May 10, May being the fifth
month. This came true. The same
line was worked out for the present
war by a Parisian in 1915, and has
certainly proved correct. Taking the
years 1914 and 1915, adding, a total
,of 3,829 is secured. Treating this
sum the same as the other, the pro-
phet declared that the war would end
on the eleventh day of the eleventh
month, which as everyone knows,
was the case.

tractors of that description have en-

priced tractors entered for consump-
tion in Canada during the nine
months of the rebate was over three
times the number of all tracto)'s en-

Interest has lately revived in the
scheme for a tunnel beneath the
Straits of Gibraltar, which has, like
that for a railway link between Eng-
land and France, made an appeal to
engineers for a generation or more.
Some of the technical aspects of the
project have been under discussion be-
fore the French Society of Civil En-
gineers, and it does not appear to be,
thought that there' are any abnormal
difficulties on the engineering side.
Owing to the depth of the water and
character of the sea bed and the un-
derlying strata it would be necessary
to construct such a tunnel at a depth,
it is believed, of some 840 nmeters(2,-
775 feet) and the length between 'tar-
ifa, the suggested point of departure in
the Spainsh side of the straits, and
either of the alternative points of em-
ergence on the Moroccan coast would
be about 153/2 miles. It is assumed
by the advocates of the scheme that
the,cost of construction would not ex-
ceed 50 million dollars but necessary
port improvements would call for the
expenditure of an additional 20 m11 -
lion dollars.
There can be no doubt that the link-
ing of the European and African rail-
way systems would give a great
stimulus to French and Spanish trade,
and on the assumption that the tun-
nel beneath the Straits of Dover is
constructed, the tunnel would pro-
vide over the Trans -African Railway
a thorough route between England and
South Africa.

General Pershing's words by Lafay-

"Liifayette, we are here," would have
been more impressive, and asking for
a little inforination regarding Lafay-

(he afterwards resigned the title)
was a French soldier and statesman,
who carne to America in 1777 to of-
fer his services in the War of Inde-
pendence, and was attached to
Washington's staff. After very bril-
liant service, he returned to France
in 1779, smiled financial, naval and
military aid Were for the Americans,
and rejoined them. in 1780. Later
he returned again to France. After
the fall of the Bastille during the
French Revolution he was made
Commandant of the National Guard
of Paris, iie suffered much during
the Reign of Terror, and afterwards
retired to the country. On a visit to
the United States in 1824 fortune
and honors were heaped upon him.
During the revolution of July, 1830
he was appointed Commander of
the Natioanl Guard. of Paris, and
when the National Guard was estab-
lished throughout Franee was made

WHY THE LEAVES FALL
Not Because Of Frost or Windt But
Because They Have Served Their
Purpose
was badly needed, add it has also in-
terfered with the making 61 these im-
plements.
' The Free Press says "the manu-
facturers have so far shown little
disposition to suply the need for
this class of implements," Is this
to be wondered at, more especially
as the concession given them in the
way of a drawback has been nulli-
fied by war conditions imposed by
the United States government. These
conditions, it is understod, are now
removed, and hence the position of
the Canadian manufacturer will be
improved somewhat, but no condi-
tion can be satisfactory which does
not give the home manufacturer the
margin of advantaSe over his for-
eign competitor. Nor trust revenue
requirements and the development
of hone industry be lost sight of in
fixing the rate of duty even on such
an essential line of manufacture 45
that of agricultural implements.
Leaves fall in the autumn, not be-
cause they have been killed by the
frost or because they are forcibly torn
from the trees by heavy wads, but
because they have served their pur-
pose to the tree and have been dis-
carded by it, says the Scientific Am-
erican, Botanists tell us that their
fall is due to the interposition of a
separating layer of vegetation and
which cuts acress the articulation of
the leafstalk.
Exactly how this process takes place
is of less consequence to us than the
knowledge that it is a natural pro-
cess in the life and growth of the tree
and not merely an accidental condi-
tion. • When the leaf falls the vessels
which connected it with the branch
become filled with brown passe of
found mucilage which has come from
neighboring cells into the"cavities of
the vessels, and plugs them up.
Before the leaf falls from the tree
all the elaborated materials which it
contains that cat; be of further use
are mobilized and stored'in their pro-
per places in the body of the tree.
After these valuable materials have
been removed from the leaf, what re-
mains is devoid of • the active greeh
chlorophyll' and the cells are nearly
empty, as may be seen if the leaf is
held up to a bright light or is ex -
mined in section under the micro:
scope. The yellow granular bodies of
disorganized chlorophyll which remain
gives the predominating yellow color
to aptumnal foliage. The reds 'and;
browns are produced by various de-
composition products which comprise
the cell contents and which are found
under .the conditions resulting from
the maturing of the leaf.

• THAT MAINWARING k
« AFFAIR
Many efforts have been made re-
cently to make the airplane invisible
from the earth when it is soaring
through the ether. One idea calls for
the use of transparent material, at
least for all purposes where a canvas
covering is used at present such as
the white wings and the fuselage. One
of the latest ideas of the kind is said
to be an airplane which uses ron-
in flammable celluloid for the wings
and other parts, and when flying at
a few hundred feet elevation the ap-
paratus is quite invisible, according to
reports. A new muffling box on the
motor serves to deaden the sound.
One advantage of the transparence is
that observations can be made in all
directions.

many other events just then quietly
transpiring behind the scenes, little or
nothing was known.
Meanwhile,as
the days slipped
rap-
idly
idly away, thparty at the Waldorf was
not idle. There were confernces, num-
erous and protracted; behind closed
doors, telegrams and cablegrams in
cipher flashed hither and thither in
multitudinous directions, while Mr.
Sutherland seemed fairly ubiquitous.
Much of his time, however, was spent
in the private parlors of the English
party, with frequent journeys to the
court -house to ascertain the status of
the case. From one of these trips he
returned one evening jubilant.
"Well," said he; settling himself
comfortably, with, a sigh of relief, "the
first point in the ease is decided in our
favor."
"That is a good omen," Mr. Barton
replied cheerfully; "but may I require
to what you referl"
"1 have succeeded in getting the
date for the hearing set for the next
term of court, which opens early in
December."
"I ani glad to hear it; a little time
just now is of the utmost importance
to our interests- Did you have any
difficulty in securing a postponement
until the next term?"
"Whitney, of course, opposed it
strongly. He said his client wanted
the natter settled at the earliest pos-
sible moment; but 1 told him that so
long as Ralph Mainwaring persisted
in butting against a stone wall, just
so long a speedy settlement was out
of the question; it was bound to be a
hard fight, and would be carried over
into the next tern in any event. Then
1 had a private interview with Judge
Bingham, and, without giving parti-
culars, told hie that new developments
had arisen, and, with a little time in
which to procure certain evidence
we would have our opponents com-
pletely floored,—they would not even
have an inch of roan, left to stand upon
'while under present conditions, or
appeal to a higher court, —anything
to keep up the fight. So he will
grant us till December, which, 1 aim
inclined to think, will be ample time.,,
"it looks now," said Mr. Barton,
producing a telegram, "as though we
might succeed in securing that evi-
dence touch sooner than we have
anticipated. What do you think of
tluat?"and he handed the despatch to
Mr. Sutherland.
The face of the latter brightened as
he glanced rapidly Over the yellow sheet

Mr. Barton bowed, "Which
means," he said in reply, "that he has
evidently struck the scent; and when
he once starts on the trail, it is only
A question of tine—and usually not
any great lenght of time, either--,
before he runs his game to cover."
"Well," ejaculated Mr. Sutherland,
rubbing his hands together enthusias-
tically, "1, for one, want to be 'in at
