Signor Faxen of =an, fanibus cern-
poser. collapses and dies While he• ' is
conducting his own symphony at the
'queen's Hall, London. At the inquest it
its disclosed that a rare poison, curare.
Icausad the death.
Inspector Haynes receives a call from
Oxford stating that a supply of curare
has been stolen.
In an up -country bungalow In West
Africa District Commissioner Westcott
reelivas a Package of strings for his
o—he opens the, package and a few
minutes later collapses—dead.
. s The theft of the curare is confessed
by an Oxford student, Branksome. who
'rhand e it over to a Dr. Rawkes. who
lbelleves in deadening paln of animals
used for vivisection.
Lettioe Manton, her mother. grand-
mother and Hephen Garton, of the
Foreign Office, are all keenly interested
in the solving of the crime.
"All I can say is that there should
lave been sabre women witnesses."
Something of this sort was all Miss
Sophia Grant ever could manage to
say on any subject at all. But it didn't
seem to have much more bearing
in the present circumstances than, it
usually had.
• "I can't say that 1 quite follow
you," it was Mrs. Bracklby-Hargreavee'
who broke in. "IVIts. Crowther was
called, and gave practically the same
' evidence as her husband, I -don't see
what other woman witness there was
to call or what she'd have been able
to say it she had. I don't think that
...politics are going to help us in a case
'of this sort."
! "What 1 say, ladies and gentlemen,
in a case like this is that it's better
to let it go before a Judge who -under-
stands such matters better than what
, we do ourselves. After all, when all's
said and done, we're only amateurs."
• .But before the worthy Mr. park-
,- stone had time to elaborate his point,
another supporter of the claims °of
S,unhurried justice made his appear-
' ance,• and Major Crawford warmly
supported the business -like ex -brew.
er.
A. babel of chatter broke out
amongst the magnates of the county
:just as it might have done in a crowd
!of those lesser creatures who help
to people the earth.
Colonel Frost, who was listening
mainly to see when there was likely
to be a pause in his noisy eloquence,
!was not quite able to see the consiec-
tion between the Shallow murder case
iand some of the arguments that were
!being put forward. Before he could
!intervene a knock sounded on the
'door, which opened into the Court.
Silence fell once more on the heated
assembly.
"Come in," said the Chairman, in
his blandest and inost pompous man-
ner, and in came Harry Chesterfield,
the Clerk, as cool as it cucumber.
"I was wonderiag, your Worship,"
said he, "whether there was any little
point on which I might perhaps be
able to assist you?"
The members of the 13ench sat
quietly, trying to look as detached
and dignified as they attempted to
do in Court.
Tho Chairman nervously
seees. ase-e-e-e-esese-e-4,-•-e-ase•-•-eles-sesee-
round, No one attempted to eay any-
thing. He would throw out a lead.
"I think,ladies and gentlenteu --
this is au •important .matter there.
can be now harm in our asking Mrs
Che"sterfield's opinion? Whatever
judgments we may have forified our-
solves—we shouldsnot be 'willing to
hear how the facts of -the case strike
one who is ' a trained' lawyer?"
There was a murmur of approval.
"You ask my opinien, Your Wor-
ships? I have never heard a thinner,
more •preposterous, worse -prepared
case. in all my life. Not only is the
evidence weak to a degree—most of
it the merest demeanour, that he nev-
er did swhat is now charged against
him. You are entitled—you must --
pat your own feelings on one side,
But in my opinion the nature of . the
evidence ..alone justifies you — even
compels you—to dismiss this case."
The Bench looked very impressive,
dignified, unanimous on its return to
court. Mill Dean will not forget for
many years the cheers of the spectat-
'ors when Colonel Frost, in tones of
beaming pomposity, declared:
"My fellow Magistrates and I have
come unanimously to the decision
that we must dismiss the charge of
murder brought against Tom SaxlsY."

"Tapping Ceased"
Writes the, Woodstock Sentinel -Re-
view: "Remarking upon the factor of
publicity in relation to the wide-
spread interest and sympathy arous-
ed by the plight of the men. entomb-
ed in the Moose River mine some
weeks ago, the Sentinel -Review re-
called that in France, during.the war,
trench cave-ins or shellfire buried men
every day for years, Some were res-
cued, many not, it the incidents
were not, of course; 'broadcast. Dr.
Robertson, of the Meese River party,
had been with theist 'Canadian Bat-
talion in the *at, and doubtiese in
jeopardy for mualislonger periods than
he spent in the mine, but in those
days the, holocaust was upon so gi-
gantic a scale as to baffle the imagina-
tion.
On this point, one finds in the May
number of the Legionary an article
by Will R. Bird, in which the blow-
ing of Montreal Crater is described.
He writes: "The blowing of this crat-
er entombed many of the enemy who
taken refuge in the bombardment
dugouts, and for houre the next day
workers from thb spot The •tapping
noises coming from under the tons 01
mud and debris that the explesion
had hurled over the entrances. t The
Canadians traced the sounds to a
small area and started to dig, But
the rescue could not be effected, as
the enemy shelled and bombedthe
workers from th spot. The tapping
grew fainter and finally ceaseti,VO the
entombed men perished ofor lack of
air." .. •
From. the same issue of the Legion-
ary we quote a related but more
cheerful paragraph, appearing upon
the editorial page:
"The courage, devotion and energy
of the brave men who rescued Dr.
Robertson. and Mr. Sdadding were be-
yond all praise. It is with pleasure,
therefore, that we remit to members
of the Canadian Legion that three of
those heroes, George Morrell, now. a
national figure, George Fraser and
Joseph Dakens draegermen who
broke through the debris to reach the
entombed men—are members ot the
Stellarton branch of the Legion. Ex -
soldiers who ,served their coantry,well
20 years ago, they demonstrated that
the bravery which characterized 'them
1 France continues with them; The
Canadian Legion is proud to- •have
such men within its ranks."'
CHAPTER. XIV
A TRAGIC ENDING
Harvey Cranworth was a pretty
hardened reporter' by now. If flare
strenuous years with the "Evening
Globe,' hadn't made him so, it was
unlikely that he'd ever become "hard-
boiled." He'd done almost anything
an evening paper rains could do; re-
ported police court proceedings, des-
cribed the crowd at a Cup Final, in-
terviewed Deans and Bishops on their
views on. Divorce, supplied the Gos-
sip column writer with little bits of
tittle-tattle which happened to come
his way at the Club, and even pto,---
&need high-sounding leading articles
on leading questions of the day when
the regular writer was away. He had
done temporary jobs as a dramatic
critic. But he felt that the task of
criticising full-dress Grand Opera was
a task which was beyond even his
versatile gifts.
"Oh, rats, Cranworth. You've done
plays before now. Why not an opera?
It's the same thing — more or less?"
The News Editor, who had been
insistent and persuasive by turns,
now ran his fingers through his scan-
ty hair; it was his usual mannerism,
when he wasnt feeling too hopeful;
and if he didn't have at least a
couple of spasms of despair a week,
Cranworth and the rest o1 the staff
began -to think that there Must be
something really wrong. „
"Miles could have clone it alt right.
But he's bowled over with 'flu, and
can't possibly be back far a des or
two."
Again he ran his fingers through
his hair, Then he thumped the table
with his fist with renewed energy. "I
tell you .what." He threw away the
end of his cigarette, and sat up abrupt-
ly, as if struck by a sudden idea.
"Instead of the usual notice of the
opera— why not combine it with an
interview with the lady in the case?"
He reached forward, and from a pile
ob papers in a wire basket on the
desk drew out a large unmounted
Press,. photograph, "I got Allis from an
agency this morning. It's exclusive.
1 paid three times the usual fee on
the understanding that none of the
others should have it for a couple of
days in case I wanted to use it."

Special medals commemorating the maiden voyage of Britain's greatest marine masterpiece, the
R.M.S. 'Queen Mary," and 96 years of progress in ocean travel, were recently presented to two aged
Nova Scotian women.
The presentation was made in the Council Chamber, Government House, Halifax, by the Hon. A. S.
MacMillan, Minister of Highways, and this photograph shows Premier Angus MacDonald of Nova Scotia.
congratulating Mrs. Fanny Lenoir, 103, the only living person to have set foot on the first Cunarder,
"Britannia" on her maiden arrival at Halifax in 18 40.
Beside Mrs. Lenoir sits Mrs. Loring W. Bailey, 94, the oldest living client of the Cunard Line, who
was a passenger in the "Cambria" in 1849. Both these charming old ladies have long been residents of
Halifax, birthplace of Sir Samuel Cunard, founder of the Cunard Steamship CoMpany.

LONDON — The Albatross is the
name selected for the new four -en -
gilled monoplane, two of which have
been ordered by the air ministry for
experimental flights across the At-
lantic ocean.
From the operational point of view
these flights will be among the most
important that have ever been made
for they will enable information to
be collected upon the relative values
of flying boat and fast laud -plane for
long distance, oversea commercial
services.
'The first test flights are expected
lo. be made towards the end of the
year and when the airplanes have
completed their performance trials
they will be tried experimentally over
the Atlantic.
The airplanes will have a maximum
speed of nearly 250 miles per hour,
and will be able to cruise at more
than 200 m.p.h. Yet they are large
machines with a gross weight of 25,-
000 pounds each and each powered
with four Gipsy 12 cylinder engines.
They are monoplanes of exceptional-
ly clean lines and embody the latest
devices for reducing drag and obtain-
ing .the highest possible efficiency
from the power available.
Careful comparisons will be made
between the results achieved by these
fast landplanes and the new flying
boats. At the present moment opinion
is almost equally divided as to which
type Is the better for long distance
ocean journey; but there is also a
body of opinion which holds that
there is room for both types. The
original argument that the flying boat
was a necessity in order to eliminate
the risk of accidents if the machine
is forced to alight on the water, has
lost its force because modern multi -
engined airplanes are able to ily with
any engine stopped and to maintain
height without very marked loss of

SAULT STE. MARIE Ont. — Traf-
fic through Canadian and American
canals here in May was 2,725,281 tons
greater than in May 1935, and was
the largest for May since 1930. The
