If he could only get word to lawyer.
Just as the coroner was disappearing
through the door, he darted forward

Mr. Coroner, won't you listen to

The coroner startled, drew back.

The coroner looked at him sternly
and made no reply No one could
ever reproach him with sympathizing
with criminals. Waving his hand at
Capt Clinton, he said:
Goodnight, captain"
Good night, Mr. Coroner"
The door slammed and Capt Gin
ton, with a twist of his powerful arm,
yanked his prisoner back into his
seat Howard protested.
You've got no right to treat me
like this. You exceed your powers.
I demand to be taken before a magis-

The captain grinned, and pointed to
the clock

The sergeant came over, and the
captain whispered something in his

Howard was about to blurt out a re-

To the coroner, the captain ex-

He's the scapegrace son of How

his guilt, Look at his hands. We

The coroner rose. He believed in

The two men now faced each other,
the small table alone separating

Maloney turned of every electric

The rest Of the room was in shadow.
One saw only these two figures
standing wildly out in the strong

his stalwart inquisitor In the dark
background stood Policeman Delaney.
Close at hand was Maloney taking
notes.

eyes on his trembling victim.

slowly and firmly, returning the police

calmly.

tactics.

It is popular notion that the name

the British soldier, is peculiarly the
idea Of Rudyard Kipling, than which
nothing could be farther from the
truth, although it is not to be denied
that Mr.. Kipling, more than anybody
else, has made the nickname famous.

employment of a fictitious name, and
instead of the legal John Doe or
Richard Roe, :" the combination

this circumstance the name came to

The journalism Of Paris Is personal

ism of London is impersonal-that Is
to say, the one illustrates the self.
exploiting, individualized star-system,
the other the more sedate and orderly
yet not less responsible commercial
system; and it must be allowed that,
in both dignity and usefulness, the
English is to be preferred to the
French Journalism. It is true that
English publishers are sometimes ele-
waited to the peerage. But this is no
wise worse than French and Ameri-
can editors becoming candidates for
Office. In either case, the public and
the press are losers in the matter OF
the service rendered, because journal
ism and office are so antipathetic that
their union must be destructive to
both.
