She watched his expression closely.
Doubts began TO enter her mind No

md lie deliberately.
Nothing" he laconically replied.
There was n short pause before he
asked her in low tone, what do you

'If you don't know can't tell you."
she answered. with tinge of regret In
her voice.
"But you must--you must tell me-"
he insisted. "The mennest criminal In

that would in any way justify the po-
sition you have taken"
Mrs. harrington was not yet fully
convinced. The thought of what he
had said about his word ranked in her
mind. His answer stirred again her
antagonism. "You give me your word,'
she repeated with contempt.
II give you my word" he protested.

ANCIENT PHRASE A MISNOMER
Money In Chanosry" Not What the
Name Implies. English Say.


Most people have heard the phrase
money In chancery," but 1t Is more
than doubtful whether many people
know what the money is or how It
came into chancery or how II gets out
in most cases after the lapse of many
years, says the London Answers.
AS matter OF fact, the phrase mon
ey in chancery" Is a misnomer. for
there is not now a court Of chancery
rs a separate organization. 1t was
killed by act of parliament, the Iudica-
ture net doing the deed. There is .
chancery division Of the high court Of
justice, and the money commonly call
ed money in chancery is simply stand
ing in the books Of the supreme court
pay Office.
How did the money get theref
Imagine a typical case. A man dies
in 1850. He leaves property to trus-
tees In trust for his four children.
One OF these children goes abroad and
settles out there. Some dispute arises
between the other children and the
trustees. The matter comes before the
court, and the trustees are ordered to,
pay the shares into court. They do
this, and in time the three children
are able to draw out their shares. but
the one abroad never claims his. and
unless he or his descendants claim the
money It will lie there still.
There is nothing more Improbable
than the pursuit Of money In chancery.
Dozens Of people have wasted their
means and their lives Mt the game Of
hunting unclaimed funds. One In a
hundred may get something in the end.
The other ninety-nine find themselves
baked and disappointed.
Some people run away with the idea
that because they happen to bear the
same name as one of the people men-
toned In the list Of unclaimed funds
In the books OF the supreme court
therefore they stand n good chance Of
getting something. That Is not so,
and even people with uncommon
names, although they see a similar
name in the list, often do not stand a
ghos. Of a chance. The court will re-
quire very strict proof and very strong
evidence indeed before 1t will order
money to be paid out to "a claimant,
and hearsay evidence Is not acceptable.
