In the romance of high finance" in this
country there are few careers more inter
esting than that Of Joseph G. Robin presi-
dent Of the collapsed trust company. The
family name is Robinovitch, which is still
borne by sister OF Joseph's, a regular
graduate doctor, who is now out on bail
on the charge OF perjury in denying that
her parents are in this country. Joseph
and his sister came to this country about
twenty years ago. The medical training OF
the latter readily commanded employment,
but the young man had no other equip
ment than knowledge OF the Russian and
German languages and a smattering of
English. What he lacked in the Language
of the tribe" was overcome by quick per-
ception, energy and nerve. His first en-
terprise was bootblack stand, from which
he engineered a neighborhood combine of
sinners and sold out at the top of the mar
ket From this he drifted into the New
York newspapers as translator of for
eign languages, and in his off hours be-
came a regular shadow of police reporters
of the east side, seeking opportunities to
sell news stories. About this time Robin
ovitch became Robinson. His sister, en-
ployed In a city asylum, piped off a story
of abuses. which Robinson sold to a rival
paper for $780, losing his job as a conse-
quence. Discredited in the newspaper Of
fices, Robinson wrestled with poverty for
some time and soon disappeared from his
haunts. The next heard of him was at
Niagara Falls as a full-fledged promoter
of water power electrical schemes He
had abbreviated his name to Robin and
was cheek-by-j owl with the moneyed men
in search of franchises. He succeeded in
interesting capital in the Niagara, Lock
port and Ontario Power company. and in
few years cleaned up 81 200 900, with
which he returned to New York, plunged
into high finance and went broke

 Elwood's brevity was little dis. concerting.
 Mary came to the rescue, and they talked on. Later Guy refused heI

 As he went Elwood stood at the end of the stoep and watched him
 ride away. He stood long after the
 horseman had passed out of sight. as though the receding figure had some fascination for him. But at last he returned to the sitting-room where Mary was awaiting him. Nor did he appear to notice the girls covert glance at his face as he came in. Her husband was always something of g

he was sitting just within the door
 way of his store at Sitlagoli watching
 the ribbon of roadway winding out
 in the direction of the Kunwana Hills A group of Kaffirs. for the most
 part mean-loooking Bushmen from the Kalahari Desert, were crouching
 about the stoep outside. But the
 group did not consist solely of these
 undersized creatures. There were
 other Kaffirs of better caste ming ling with the Bushmen in a way they
 would never have done in their own
 villages. for the Bushman is the le-
 gitimate slave of the Baralog. It
 might have been that they did not
 wish to attract the white mans at-
 tention to themselves; it might have been that for the moment, like SO
 many other folk, they found it con. venient to show an unusual friendli-
 ness towards their interiors
 Three horsemen came into view along the Kunwana road. Jerry, whose eyelids had been dropping,
 suddenly became wide awake. He watched them as they came. and his face expressed approval. The Kaf- frs were interested spectators, too; at least, the Baralongs were. The diminutive Bushmen, after a cursory
 glance at the newcomers, fell back into their attitudes of utter indolence The horsemen clattered up, Httle party of bronzed, hardylooking
 men, vigorous alike in spirit and mus cle.' Guy Chalmer came first, / and flung out of his saddle with an activ- ity that was almost cat-like. The other two were more leisurely. Mike
 Donovan, a sandy-haired giant of six feet three, moved cumbrously. He
 was active enough, but it was his habit to be otherwise unless emer- gency demanded. Sam Goodall showed something of his real charac- ter in the manner in which he dis mounted. He was precise, carefully taking his right foot from the stir | rup before even preparing to get out l was like that. He was exact, delib- | cate, even cautious, and when he
 moved one knew that all must be ready for him to do so. He was cer- l tainly the shrewdest-headed man of | the trio. He possessed rone of | Chalmers impetuosity, nor had he i the passion which could urge the san- | dy-haired giant to rapid movement. | His dark face and black eyes re- ! sembled those of Jerry Boyle. bu, l only in caste, for Jerry possessed a 1 naturally benign expression. while l this man had a sharp, commanding
 look that had something almost
 fierce about it.
 | Chalmer was greeting the store keeper while the others were still ! dismounting.
 l "HelIo. Jerry!' he exclaimed, in
 his cordial fashion, his ready smile
 falling in with his tone. Tn anoth- CT age Guy Chalmers would have
 made. a perfect swashbuckler of the l better class. He would have smil- | ed cutting an adversary's throat, and he would have done it with a perfect air of good fellowship; one might | easily have imagined him smiling on his way to his own execution. | We've managed it, you see, Ye gods, Pm stiff! One hundred and sixty | miles in two days and a bit" He 1 stretched his booted legs luxuriously. | (To Be Continued.)

CHAPTER V.
The Conspiracy of Four.

: CHAPTER V. The Conspiracy of Four. Two men were sharing the shelter of a wattle hut.
 Stretched out full length upon a bed of dried grass, Ferman Elwood other, close to the doorway, a goat herd. the owner of the shelter, was squatting upon his launches devour- ing his midday dinner of mealies and pap. He was an intelligent-looking Kaffir youth. naked as the day he was born except for the stert-hreim about 1 his loins. Every now and then, | while he ate, he turned pair of keen
 black eyes in the direction of his 1 white companion. His look was rath- CT more contemplative than curious,
 the large man seeming to have deep 1 interest for him.
 But Elwood appeared quite indif- | ferent both to the lads scrutiny and 1 his presence, The roof occupied his
 gaze if it did not occupy his thoughts.
 His steady grey eyes were fixed upon
 one spot in the wattle thatch, nor
 did they wander from it. l Suddenly the Kaffir cooked an ear
 in the manner of watchful terrier
 A. half-devoured mealie remained poised in the air, while his compan-
 ions voice broke the silence. Elwood
 had made no movement.
 What is it?" he asked. l And a moment later the boy re- | piled, "Kaffir, baas. OF man. Tink him Um-la-la."
 | Elwood changed his position al | once, and faced the doorway just as
 a grey head appeared through it. I,
 was the head of a very old. watery- | eyed Kaffir. The newcomer rolled his
 eyes. peering round the hut eagerly
 "Du-mella, baas." The old man greeted him at last in thin, cracked
 voice.
 I Elwood nodded.
 | Good, Um-la-la. Well?"
 Um-la-la crawled into the hut and squatted upon his launches in the fashion of the goatherd. He stretch. ed out skinny hand and took . mealie from the iron pot in front ol the boy. Then, in a quaint, spas. modic fashion, he began to talk croaking and clacking out what h. had to say adims a confusion ot grunts Elwood listened, his eyes in

Mary listened attentively. But her principal attention was given to the man himself. She watched the play of his handsome features, the light in his keen black eyes. She realized the earnestness he intended to con- vey, and, had she been clever enough. she might have detected that his manner was studied, and not truly the result of alarm. But if she faii- ed 10 realize these things she was quick to put a natural inquiry.

 Guy was ready. He had courted the question. He laughed: and his laugh irritated the girl.

 Guy was equal to the occasion. He was used to tight corners in both peace and war.

plaintiff claims to hold an unsatisfied
seed lien; the trial court, at the con
clusi0n of the testimony denied de-
PENDANTS motor for ia directed verdict
and subsequently g1anted a like mo-
ton in plaintiffs favor. HELD, not
error as there is no substantial con
flict in the testimony and the evidence
sufficiently established each of the
essential facts emitting plaintiff to re.
cover.
2. There is no direct evidence that
the grain in controversy was grown
from the identical seed sold by plain
tiff, but in the absence of proof to the
contrary, and none appears In the
record, such fact will be presumed
in view of the provision of Section
9443 Penal Code which makes It a
misdemeanor for the vendee Of seed
grain to use the same for any purpose
other than the purpose agreed upon
at the time he purchased it..
3. The presumption that a person
is innocent of crime or wrong is ex-
rressly recognized by our code of civil
procedure, Section 1917 r. c., and by
Section 1914 it is provided that un-
less controverted the jury are bound
to find according to the presumption.
4. Trial courts are vested with a
broad discretion in permitting or re-
fusng to permit parties to reopen
their case for the purpose of intro
ducing further proof, and their rulings
on such motions will not be disturbed
where there is not clear abuse in
the exercise of such discretion.
5. Plaintiffs testimony as to the
making of a demand on the defendant
for the grain in controversy and as
to the market value thereof at the
date of such demand, examined and
held competent and sufficient in the
absence of any showing to The con-
trary.

Several of the defendants charged

Kansas having confessed, it is now
proper to say that being men of ma
ture years, they should be given small
mercy, the outrage having, appar-
emily, been provoked by nothing but
small spite and jealousy animating
some of the women of the neighbor-
hood. The offense was so heinous as
to call for the making of an example,
and the sentence of one year in the
is none too small.
