You can star: the sstory righnt hers. Syncepsis of Previous Chapters The story is asout Christabel Milsom a young lady of twentyâ€"five whose husâ€" band, Keith Millsom had persuaded her to assist in the sale of a house and then under a plausible story had taken her on a sea voyage. the money secured from the fraudulent sale of the house being carried in Christabel‘s luggage. Christâ€" abel, Keith and a man named Thomas Craigie are arrested on charges of conâ€" spiring to defraud a wealthy man. Keith shoots himself and Christabel is lefi to stand his trial alone with Craigie. Sir Ross Barnes is engaged to daefend Christabel, while the proseâ€" cution is in charge of a brilliant young KC., Grant Hewitson. Now Read On Henry Goring decided that the house was cheap at a thousand pounds, even though ‘"Mr. West" wanted cash for it. Henry, in the meanwhile, was kept happy with a letier from ‘‘Mr. West" acknowledgeing the receipt of the cheque, promising to send the keys on the following day. But the whole thing fell through because the police already had their eye on Craigie as a suspected character, and early on the morning of August the 24th a detoctive called on Henry Goring to make inquiries. Craigâ€" ie was arrested in Birmingham, and Keith and Christabe} were traced to the "River Plate"; and by piece of fast work on the part of the police they were arrested off Dungeness later in the day. On the 22nd of August Keith went to Henry with documents which poor Henry .understood to be the title deeds of the house; he handed over a cheque madeo out to Keith. Keith immediately put it through his own bank account, got it cleared up by the following afterâ€" nmoon, gave four hundred to Craigie. and kept six hundred himself. A bad point against Mrs. Milsom, beâ€" cause if she were not a witting party to the conspiracy, why was not the money divided fiftyâ€"fifty between Milsom and Craigie?" Craigie went to Burmingzham and to30ok a room there under a false name; Keith bought a passage to Rio de Janeiro for himself and Christabel, on a passport on which he had alteéred their name to "Lorraine"; and exchanged the rest of Henry‘s money for foreign currency at several different travel agencies. By the time the proseculion was halfâ€" way through its case, it was obvious that there was going to be no difficulty in proving the fraud; what was not so easy to prove was the actual fact of conspiracy between the two accused. In evidence Thomas Craigie admitted that Keith Milsom had told him that Mrs. Milsom could "twist Goring round her little finger," and that she would be the best person o put the proposition to the plaintiff. But that was as much as Hewitson could get out of him. Craigie was not going to talk. He did not know by what technical legality he might be pinned down on the actiual point of conspiracy. He was going to be sentenced on whaty they could colâ€" lect in the way of facts, and nct on anything they could get out of Thomas Craigie, Opportunity to have conspired was proved. Sir Ross Barnes‘s defence of Mary Christabel Milsom was thai the conspiracy had been between Keith Milsom â€"and Craigie alone; Craigile‘s council hoped to get his client off on the same technical point with Christâ€" abel as the conspiring party. The case resolved itsolf, finally into a dispute over Mary Christabel Milsom‘s character; whether she was a witting .

But sheâ€"was up against a relentless prosecution. wWHEN COUNSEL COMBAT It was a gradual but devastating reâ€" velation to Christabel, as the case dragâ€" ged on. to realize exactly how relentâ€" less the prosecution was. . This man, this Hewitson. K.C., didn‘t egard her as human being at all; in spite of the fact that his face and his manner had appealed to her at first, he was her implacable enemy; implacâ€" able, because he was so utterly indiffâ€" erent. Afterwards they told her that he had some into court with the intention that Sir Ross Barnes should not get out of it without a smashing defeat; which acâ€" sounted for the fact that, as a person, she herself hardly eniered into the conâ€" test. But at the time she was bewildered by a fancy that there must be someâ€" thing personal in it; as through hour ifter hour in the witness box, under his crossâ€"examination, he pursued her with abominable questions and a nightâ€" mare disbelief of her answers. The prosecution not only had her letâ€" ter to Henry Goring asking for the loan f twentyâ€"one pounds as Kenth did not know that she had overâ€"spent her alâ€" ‘owance; but a bombshell to Sir Ross Barnes, was the fact that Hewitson had ilso got hold of a letter from Keith Milsom written three days before to another man in his office, asking for a toan of the same amount, proving conâ€" »ulsively that he did know. Hewitson examined her energetically on the point. "You admit that the letter was a lie?" "Yes, it wasn‘t true, butâ€"" "Never mind. You admit it to have been a lie?" "YeS._‘ "You thought it more likely that the plaintiff would be more willing to pay your dressmaker‘s bill for you if ks thought that he was sharing this decepâ€" tion of your husband with you?" "No!" It was torn from Christabel in desperate indignation. "No?" "T‘ve already told you that my husâ€" band said I mustn‘t let Mr. Goring know we were hard up." "Quite." The K.C., standing before her in his flowing gown, his face alive with intelliâ€" zence, looking almost sympathetic as her breathless voice fell into silence. Her heart sscemed to swell with the momentary fancy that she was believed. "That would coincide, would it not, with your decision to pay back the olairtiff‘s money when he did?" "I wanted to pay it back as soon as possible." "Let m put it anoth@r way. Was it before or after the plaintiff had said that he wanted to buy a house that you returned his money to him?" "I don‘t remember." "Think again, please." "It was after." "Exactly; it was a woek afterwards. And I suggost that you returned the plaintiff‘s loan because as soon as the hcuse was discussed you wanted to have his confidence in order to use it to greater profit than you had already done!" He did not give her time to protest. but began at once on something else: "On the twelth of Auzust you had a conversation with the plaintiff in the sitting room of your flat. You told him I believe." Hewitson‘s voice dropped to a more kindly note, "about the loss of your child in the previous year." She turned a shade paler, and could not speak at all. Facos stared at her in painful reflection. A K.C. in one of the seats reserved for his kind, ‘+ered to his neighbciur: "There‘s no chance of a conviclion. 1 Hewitson hasn‘t a hope!" His tone still respectful, Hewitson reâ€" z peated : | "Do you, or do you not remember the | occasion?" | "Ido." l He allowed a second‘s pause in which the sympathy of the court for her could go far enough before he said with sudâ€" l den force: "Is it, or is it not trug, that within five minutes of discussing your loss with the plaintiff , you told him that if he wanted to buy a house, the male accusâ€" ed. Craigieâ€"whom you referred to as Mr. Westâ€"had a house for sale in Ealâ€" ~~In the »xposure of her most intima‘e grief, and the vile interpretation he put upon having dicussed it, Christabel felt as though the last privacy of her innermost soul had been torn away. She could only stare at the handsoms KC. as though he were something not quite to be believed. "Is it. or is it not true?" "Yes; but I tell you I know nothing about Craigie!" Her voice ran up the scale of agony as she protested it. But there was only her own word. There was only her own word to explain the fact that she had started for South America with Ksith under an assumed name, and had had Henry Goring‘s money in her possession when she was arrested. When she told the court the story he had told her about the job he had got in the Argentine, she felt a sickly wonder at herself. It was difâ€" ficult to make it sound credible. How could she under all those eyes. feeling so exhausted that her palms dere damp with nervous strain, feeling so near to indifffrence to what anyone believed, do her best to convince the court . . . ? PENAL SERVITUDE Sir Ross Barnes became heated; he objected not once but half a dozen times to Hewitson‘s questijfpns in crossâ€" examination. He addressed the jury movingly at the end, thougn he was really thoroughly ruffled by Hewitson ind the way the case had gone. When he sat down a glimmer of reâ€" turning strength made Christabel look round the court to see what impression he had produced. She saw the jury solemmnly impressed, the old judge watchinz with his hooded eyes, expresâ€" sionless as an old owl. She saw her solicitor nodding his head, satisfaction, triumph even, in his faceâ€" sick relief came over her as she realizsd that the sourt was on her side. The case for the defence was conâ€" cluded. Hewitson rose to have his finâ€" al say. In matter of fact tones which had the effect of bringing his hearers quietly to earth, he took every point that Sir Ross had made, and put is the other way rbout. His eyes searched the court like the eye of conscience, chilling all the warm sentiments Sir Ross had made H# took every reply that Christabel had madse from a box, and gave it what seemed to her a diabolically plausible explanation. And yet he did it withcut vsiving any impression Oof being +oo clever. He at first a sort of restless tension in court, which gradually gave way o a hush of utter silence; every eye was fixed on him as he carried his hearers irresistibly along with him n his own chain of logic. @hiristabel, sitting there in an >xciteâ€" ment of voiceless protest, did not beâ€" lieve that anyone of his obvious intelâ€" ligence could really be convinced that she was a mean and Coliberate crimiral. Stunned and distrauzgsht. she could ncot believe it. But like most of a laity she did not understand that an advocate must not consider whether what he says is true, but only whether it is relâ€" event. 8 At last, and it seomed to her that he had left her no shreds of decency to cover her pilloried character, he r~at down. Mr. Justice Tolmer had a lengthy style which made his summing up rather difficult to understand; he was apt to be severe, and it was said that a . higher premiumâ€"for litligants can insure themselves against losing a case â€"was demanded in cases tried before him than in those tried before all but one other judge. However that may have been, it was noticeable that the jury could not keep its attention on him, and while he was speaking Hewitson‘s clear and forceful exposition of the case held the court. The jury was absent for two hours and returned with a verdict of gulity on both prisoners; adding a recommendaâ€" tion for mercy in the case of Mary Christarel Milsom. Mr. Justice Tolmer said that it was impossible for him to take a light view of the case, and passed a sentence of five years) penal servitude on Thomas Craigie and three years on Mary Christâ€" abel Milsom. The judge had finished speaking.

The maâ€" terial of which the outside walls will be constructed will be decided upon shortly, but will be fireproof in comâ€" position, and both walls and ceiling will be insulated. The building will be an upâ€"toâ€"date model, the inspector inâ€" dicated. Dealing with other school matters, inspecior Lovell spoke of what he termâ€" ed the inadequacy of artificial lighting systems as one of the worst features of educational affairs in his district. The standard for schools is "20 foot canâ€" dles," which means that lighting equal to 20 candles at a distance from the pupils‘ desks of one foot is the ideal, but in many cases it falls below the power of one candle on dull days, the inspector said. He declared he had been trying to impress on school boards the necessity of better artificial lightâ€" ing for short winter days and said there are times even in the summer when it is one of the big problems. Inspector Lovell added that improveâ€" ments in his district are graduarlly goâ€" ing into effect, as trustees are coâ€"coperâ€" ating as their financial resources perâ€" mit in this phase of school work. He pointed out that Matachewan school was one of the best in the matter of artificial lishting, with a new school at New Liskeard one of the worst, Coâ€" balt public school far below standard and Haileybury showing some improveâ€" ment through larger light globes, but still short of the goal.

He was allowed his freedom in the meanâ€" time on $500 bail. Newton was taken into custody during the week at Larder Lake, on a complaint issued by W. S. Rowe, manager of the Kerrâ€"Addison Mine, from which property it is alleged the ore had been taken. The ore alâ€" leged to have been found in Newton‘s possession is said to be valued at $63.68. than a mental one to Christabel. It spread througzh her body in paralaysing waves, numbing her.

She saw her solicitor in a little room where she was waiting to be taken away. Her hand shook as she sipped a slass of water which the wardress had given to her.
