"It was to, be expected, monsieur, that the English court under- these circumstances would try me for the murder of Lord Winton. T„had both the motive and the opportunity to accomlpish it, and the circumstances. were,, to say the; least, indicative. To any surprise, this manservant, Staley, came forward to establish the fact that the wine -cellar was little less than a straw -rick, and this Me- tropolitan police officer appeared to say • that he had seen the hansom leaving Lord Winton's door shortly before the fire was discovered; These facts indicated the truth of my state- ment.' "A further fact brought' out by my legal advisers established with mathe- matical accuracy the fact that I had not dealt Lord Winton the blow that ejected him out of life. The. wound which had caused his death had been made with the small blade of a knife. "The police found in my pocket a knife with a small blade, a blade of about ` the width of the wousvl. No evidence of blood was found on this knife, but the police professed to•be- lievo that it had been carefully wash- ed. They thought traces of moisture remained on it.

Lord Valleys suddenly extended his hand, like one who puts down something that is finished. "And I was therefore acquitted .

He went over to a table, got, a tortoise -shell box delicately inlaid with slver; opened it and presented it to 8 onsieur Jonquelle. • "Yoia will have a cigarette, mon- sieur?"':he said. Monsieur Jonquelle took the cigar- ette, and Lord Valleys went back to the char° Then uddenly, as out of some in- citing senory, the man's voice changed. "A moment ago, monsieur, when I mentioned the arrival' of the Visitor at Lord Winton's '`house, and the doubt of the English court of that fret, you said it was true;' How do you krrow that it was true, if I may be permitted to inquire?" smile 'which seemed not to disturb the features of his face.

"She could not," replied Monsieur Jonquelle. ."Lord Winton was killed by some powe"rful assassin who seiz- ed hini, compressed his body and drove in the knife." 11e''turned now toward Lord Val- leys, his face firm. "Monsieur," he said, "will you carry out the obligation of Lord Win- ton and leave the matter of his asses- tin a mystery, or will you refuse it and have that mystery solved?" The man at the table looked strangely at Monsieur. Jonquelle. He had the aspect of a creature of great strength, concerned always with con- cealing It. He was puzzled and -dis- turbed, but his voice did not change. "You know, then, the assassin of Lord Winton?" "I do," replied the Prefect.. "Shall I name him to you?". The man made again thet vague gesture with his white, steel fingers. "You may keep the secret of the name, monsieur, " Ire said, "if you will be kind enough to tell me the thing -that indicated to you the name." "With pleasure," replied Monsieur Jonquelle. "You have said that the English criminal' courts are stupid, and I have concurred in that opinion. Observe, monsieur, the -evidence of that stupidity. This criminal court could not understand how a knife- blade four inches long could inflict a direct wound seven inches deep. They measured the knife -blade and the wound, these English, and wrote it down impossible.... But you, mon- sieur, who are Slav, and I who am Latin, would hardly arrive at this conclusion. For we would reflect that a knife -blade foyr inches long, driven into the soft tissues of the body compressed together by the im- pact of a powerful blow might easily leave a wound measuring seven inches in length behind it—when that com- pression was released and the tissues relaxed. It is a fact, monsieur, that the Service de la Surete has frequent- ly demonstrated." The man at the table.was motion- less, as in some indecision.' He did not change.

JUTLAND DISASTER I3EATTY'S FAULT Rear Admiral Harper Does Not Hesitate to Score Popular Idol. London—"The Truth ' About Jut- land," Rear -Admiral Jolin•Ernest:Har- per's book, just published, of course is not Rear -Admiral Hasper's famous official report of 1919 on the Battle of Jutland, which the eye's of the public has not yet seen, but which W.

It is an unpalatable—extremely unpalata-, ble—but neverthetess indisputable fact i that the British squadron, which was greatly imperlor in numbers and gun power, not only failed to defeat the weaker, enemy, who made no effort to avoid action, but in the space of 60 minutes suffered what can -only be described aspartialdefeat" Read -Admiral Harper, describing the German battle fleet's arrival on the some after preliminary operations, discusses Earl Jellicoe'e deployment. "Hampered by -inaccurate information and poor yisibility," Rear -Admiral Harper finds the deployment to have been admirably conceived and execut- ed, and he quotes Garman official his- tory in support thereof. • The indecisiveness of the resulting engagement is attributed to poor vial- bility, the whole area being shrouded by sea mist and funnel and cordite smoke. "Nevertheless; from the mo- ment the Grand Fleet intervened," the Rear -Admiral states, "the situation turned in our^favor, only a series of hazardous manoeuvres saving the Ger- man's encirclement and destruction." There is also some blame for the Ad- miralty for the German' fleet's escape. Attention is drawn to an important wireless message from the German ad- miral, which was. Intercepted and de- coded by the Admiralty, but was not conveyed to Bari Jellicoe until it was too late for him to,alter,his'plans dur- ing the night, which otherwise he cer- tainly would have done.

It, therefore, recom- mends that Die Gover'riinent should send lecturers to the universities and public schools to bring the advantages of such careers before students and establish a number of scholarships for this. Trinidad last year (stated its Gov- eruor, Sir Horace Byatt, in opening its Legislative Council) had had a good year, the revenue being $1,787,288, with a surplus over. expenditure of £167,000. The.rises in the prices of cocoa and sugar had benefited them and he believed these would continuo to be maintained at present. The Gov- ernor said that the Board of Agricul- ture, •which he had revived, would be able to' work in close touch in the future with the planters, and he. re - eluded with great sympathy the tat- ter's movement to establish a new fruit •export industry.
