THERE had been five Leigh-AIervyn

Tom had as many idiosyncrases as Cap

the doctors, more primeval, had landed
him at Little Oxford, a village in Canada.
Out of the discarded past he had reserved
one thing,-his old Indian servant,

CHAPTER XXVI.
THE NEXT WITNESS, PLEASE.

The air grew more and more heavy
as the morning dragged On. 1t was
now close on ~ o'clock.
Frederick Power, hall porter of the
Veterans club, had finished his evil
dence. With the precision of a soldier
he had replied CURLY and to the point
to every question put to him and had
retold all that had occurred on that
foggy night, in the smoking room and
the lobby Of the Veterans club in
Shaftesbury avenue.
It was but a repetition of he
had told Sir Thomas Ryder in Colonel
Harris's presence the day before.
Louisa had had it all at full length
from her father; she had drawn the
whole story out of him, point by point,
Just as the man had told 1t originally.
Colonel Harris, reluctant to tell her,
was gradually driven to ~concealing
nothing from her. Moreover. since she
had made up her mind to attend the
inquest she might as well hear it all
from him first, the better to be pre-
pared for the public ordeal.
Though she knew it all, she listened
attentively to every word which Fred
erick Power uttered, lest her father had
in telling her-omitted some import
ant detail. She heard again at full
length the account of Luke's visit to
the Veterans club, his desire to see
Philip dc Mountford, the interview in
the smoking room behind closed doors,
the angry words of obvious, violent
quarrelling.
Then Looke's return to the lobby, his
departure. the final taunt spoken by
Philip and the look of murder in his
eye, sworn to by the hall porter. She
listened to it all. and heard without
fniching the last question which the
coroner put to the witness:
did Mr.. de Mountford's visitor carry
a stick when he left the club?"
Il 'ad a stick, sir, when e came's
it to i'm myself when e left"
Louisa had been sitting all this while
at the extreme n of the row of chairs
right up against the wall. She sat
with her back to the wall, her head
leaning against it, her hands hidden
within the folds of a monumental sable
muff lying idly in her lap. She had

FOR SAFETY 70 THE DRIVER
Mirrors Installed on streetsHof English.
Towns Have Proved Of Material
Benefit.

Mirrors at street orner to provide
for the drivers OF vehicles a view OF
the cross streets have been installed
IN at least two towns In England. In
~Folkestone there is an acute angle
street crossing where one corner Is
built up close to the curb. On this
corner is placed a 24x24 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such an angle that drivers Of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either of the two opposite streets
can see up the streets at right an
giles to their path.
The engineer in charge states that
owing to the impossibility Of motor
lists seeing any o%ne-coming traffic sew
eral accidents and narrow escapes
have occurred at that point. Since
the mirror has been fixed he has not
