"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.

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."

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.

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.

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 Speed. .

North Dakota, leading Spring wheat producing state, observers saw iu prevailing conditions a repetition of tlie 1934 drought. Last year the rust ruined many acres of wheat. Three other states in the Spring wheat belt were "optimistic. Nebraska termed its crop in "fine shape," Min- nesota and Iowa prospects were list- ed as .fair to good.

Canal Traffic Shows • Big Increase for May 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 total traffic for the season up to end of May was 8,746,578 tons, or 1,878,- 529 greater than for same period last year. This increase developed in spite of late start of season and in spite of fact only one vessel passed through canals up to end of April in contrast to 20 in April 1936.
