1t was deep cleaning now. and few

like all his class of open-air men, was
alive to the joys of a fine evening, but
this was not a time for sentiment. He
had his duty to do. He would take his
time, however, and his man in the flag

Dimly outlined against the faint sheen
OF the water, the figure stole out upon
the cruive and remained motionless.
Crouched behind a bush the bailiff bided
his time. His lieutenant lurked not far
away. The sky grew darker, the stars
winked more brightly. the light sough OF

case had just been called; summary
complaint in matter of salmon-poach-

very long. The Sheriff gave it all the
attention that strict sense of duty de-

pleasant thoughts Of golf. If the accused
pleaded guilty, SO much the better; the
Court would be on the links all the
sooner.
But there was no one there to plead.
No matter, it simplfied things consider
ably. The accused not represented.
The water bailiff and his lieutenant gave
conclusive evidence of the crime; service
of the summons was also proved The
Court was satisfied. Guilty.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

The law has always dlscrimi-
mated against women. 1t has
given them less personal liberty,
fewer property rights and I'M
equal power of guardianship
over their children. And even
today In many continental coun-
tries women do not receive fair
treatment from the law. think
that II women voted some things
would be accomplished. but no
changes would be so violent as
one side hopes and the other
side fears. The logical way to
judge the suffrage question Is to
study how 1t works In countries
where II Is already being tried,
New Zealand and Australia are
two of these countries. believe
that the women who take the
time and trouble to go to the
polls and vote are good women.
If they were the other sort they
wouldn't bother. And up till
now woman suffrage In the coun-
tries have mentioned has been
productive OF no harm, SO fur as
l can learn. and has certainly ac-
complished some good. - Sir
Frederick Pollock.

ton, but at once added, with an APP

LONDON. Aug. 2Q.--Lloyd George while
laying the cornerstone for a chapel a,
Heath to-day appealed to the Christian
churches to right the wrongs from which
the masses are suffering He said that IL
was the first responsibility of the churche.
There are multitudes in the country
who. notwithstanding grinding toll, do
not earn enough to keep body and soul
together, said Mr. George On the other
hand, some who neither toll nor spin have
a .surerabundance. As long as these con.
dtions exist there will be social outbursts
Again Mr.. Lloyd George said: There
are members of Christian churches who
never have missed delicacy, yet they
become angry when another class OF N.
population makes an effort to ameliorate
its condition. Let them honestly sea rcn
out causes and cease reviing. Let them
consider the conditions under which
millions Of poor workers live"
The people, he said. had Just emerged
from what might have been a most dlss..
trous catastrophe and now they had
time TO think. IF they did so they would
realize their responsibility and remove
the causes for unrest. else the ner'
struggle might prove infinitely worse.
