court to-day Of the courtship and pTe-nup-
tfaI negotiations by which she was won IN
marriage by the xty-five-year-old member
OF the wealthy Cincinnati family. she
cornhated her husbands story Of yesterday
in several points. but most of her early
testimony was interpretative of occurrences
10 which Proctor had given meanings favor
able TO his contention that he had been the
victim OF q conspiracy between his Wlfe
and Joseph de Vyckoff. solicitor OF Lon
don, England
Proctor was not in court when mis- wife
took the stand. He entered later and re-
turned the smile with which the witness
greeted him.
Mrs Procter's testimony was given IN
German She acknowledged the marriage
contract with its provision that she OBTAIN
a divorce from her first husband, the Baron
Vladimir Won klifuss. She said that she
had started this suit in st. Petersburg, put
that the baron's death removed the neces-
sitv OF it. She asserted that when Proctor
gave her a note for $4,000 in fulniment OF
the marriage contract she tried in VAIN TO
raise money on 1T, then appealed to him
agatn. and that he turned over to her the
stock now in contest. She asserted that
when the note was handed to her Proctor
said she could do as she pleased with it.
Deep attention was paid by all concerned

,e++ers written to Mrs Proctor by De
Wvckotf and his wife They were pre-
sented by Mr.. Proctor.
II believe l can do YOU a whole lot of
good" wrote De Wyckoff in one letter
,.Keen courage. Do not be sad. 1ou Will
receive your share in ten days.
In another letter De Wyckof wrote:
You don't have TO worry about the
money. Please be quiet, and don't forget
that YOUR friends are always with you. 1

axed I'D that you're no longer a Russian
consratuIate-you are an American /

ATTACK AUTHORS VERACiTY
Steamship Men Answer Second
Article of G. T. Delaney.

REPRESENTATIVES of the steamship lines
in this port dealt somewhat charitabiy yes
terday with Charles Terry Delaney. He Is
the man who says he is an ex-officer ot a
steamship and who has written two articles
in monthly ma eazine attacking steamship
officials and steamship captains.
His first article, called The Man on the
Bridge" brought forth much unfavorable
comment from steamship owners and signed
statements from Charles p. Sumner, the
LEGAL agent of thc Cunard Line. and
Mr.. Booth, the chairman OF the company.
The second article which IS in the current
issue OF the magazine. mentions Mr.. Sum
ner. but NIr Sumner preferred to reply this
time with silence. He said he considered
the article unworthy of reply.
Mr.. Delaney in his second attack says:
I'm ten years experience with steamship
agents I have never known an agent TO be
in evidence aboard liner except at the
hours OF arrival or departure
The author says this in refutation OF the
replies OF the agents tc his first article. and
he refers to them "fioupdering in the
deeper water
Mr.. Delaney points out the danger TO
human life In permitting captain of about
sixty years to remain on the bridge for
four days and then refers 10 Captain Dahl

According to excellent authority the
muscles. in common with all organs
Of the human body, have their periods
of development and decline. our phys
ital strength increasing up to a GER
tain 6 and then decreasing. Tests
OF the strength Of several thousand
individuals have been made and the
following figures are given as the
averages derived from such tests:
The lifting power of a youth OF II
Is $50 pounds; in his twentieth year
this increases to 800 pounds and In
the thirtieth and thirty-first years it
reaches it's height, 365 pounds. At the
expiration OF the thirty-irst veal the
strength begins to decline, very grad
ually at first. BY the fortieth year it
has decreased eight pounds and
diminution continues at a slightly in.
creasing rate until the fiftieth year is
reached, when the figure is $50
pounds.
Subsequent to this period strength
fails more and more rapidly until the
weakness of old age Is reached. 1t
is found impossible to obtain trust
worthy statistics OF the decline Of
strength after the fftieth year. as the
rate varies greatly In different indi-
viduals.

One morning she appeared before
her mistress and, with glowing eyes,
announced that she had named the

end of the week.
Are you going back home. then!

"Oh. no., ma'am; it's an American
gentleman" replied the maid.

Major, and | must get back. Shall L
give information to the police?
IF you will be so kind" said the
Major, listlcssly, and he let the doctor
go away without another word.
All through that long night he knelt
beside the bed upon which lay the
corpse of the man whom he had loved
as a son. The Major was DrOken-heart-
ed by the sorrow which had come up
on him, and when he issued from the
chamber of death he looked years old
ed than when he entered it.
Fortunately he was not forced to
sorrow alone; towards midday David
arrived from town, filled with grief
and surprise at the untimcly end of

library, and grasped him by the hand
with genuine sorrow.

voice. Il cannot tell you what l feel.

Heaven forbid, SIR
David spoke so fervidly that Jen
saw plainly he meant what he said.
The massive face of the young man
looked worn and haggard in the
searching light of the morning, and
whatever enmity the love of the same
woman had sown between him and the
dead, it was not to be denied that he
was suffering cruelty from remorse
at their unhappy difference. Jen was
sorry, but even in his own grief he
could not forbear a stab.
You can marry ISABELLA now" he
said, bitterly.
NO" said David, family, turning
his face away. AT least, not yet"
The Major looked at him for a mo-
ment or two, then, with a new idea in
his head, he tool David by the hand
and led him into the chamber of death.
Swear said he, that you will not
marry Isabella Dallas until you have
discovered and punished the murderer
of Maurice."
