him Of confidence. But he gave no
proof of this In voice or manner, as

way as to throw his face very much
into the shadow.
This was a welcome circumstance
to the lawyer. His task promised to
be hard enough at the best. Black
night had not offered too dark a screen
between him and the man thus sudden
ly called upon to face suspicious the
very shadow OF which is enough to de-
stroy life. The hardy lawyer shrunk
from uttering the words which would
make the gulf imaginatively opening
between them real, If not impossible

appealed to him-something apart
from his relationship to the Judge
something inherent in himself. Per

Life In London.

On the day after the visit of the
German Zeppelins there occurred in
Southwark-so a wireless message
from Berlin asserts-the following con-
versation:
Betsy" whispered Mr.. James, lead
ing his wife into the darkest corner of
the cellar, here is wallet. You will
find in 1t all our valuable papers, the

ance policies, and the lock OF baby's

But no movement took place In the
shadow cast by divers figure on the
wall before which Mr.. Black had
paused, and presently a voice WAS
heard from where he sat, saying:
You are too merciful. do not
want generalities but the naked truth.

Mr.. Black was not walking now; he
was standing stock-still and In the
shadow also. And with this space and
the double shadow between them. Alan
son Black told Oliver Ostrander why
the people had shouted: I'VE will have
him yet"
When he had quite finished. he came
into the light.
When he had quite finished he came
into the light. He did not look in the
direction he had avoided from the
first. but his voice had a different
note as he remarked:

But she found this quite impossible.
oliver would neither eat nor sleep.
When the early morning light came.
he was sitting there still.
Ten o'clock! and one of the FIVE
listed to be present had arrived-the
rector of the church which the Os-
tranders had formerly attended.
He was ushered into the parlor by
Deborah, where he found himself re-
ceived not by the Judge in whose name
he had been invited, but by Mr.. Black,
the lawyer, who rendered him a simple
good morning and pointed out chair.
There was another person in the
room-a young man who stood in one
Of the windows, gazing abstractedly
out at the line of gloomy fence rising
between him and the street. He had
not turned at the rector's approach,
and the latter had failed to recognize
him.

JOINS IN
PROTEST TO CHINA
Ratifies Request That Change in Gov
ernment Be Delayed Until End Of
European Wa-china Appreciative
Of American Attitude.

Peking, Nov. 3.-France has given
her support to the representations
made to China by Japan. Great Britain
and Russia, concerning the advisability
of postponing her decision to establish
a monarchy. France was not officially
represented in the conference. but to-
day the French minister, A. r. Comfy,
called at the foreign Office. He gave
verbal ratification of the request Of
the other three powers. Notwithstand-
ing the declination Of the Chinese gov
erhment to postpone the decision on
the ground that the matter now rests
in the hands Of the people. it is pos
sible the actual change in the form of
government, II decided on, may not
be- made for some time. There Is an
unverified rumor that If the election
results favorably to monarchy, the
coronation Of the emperor will be de-
layed until the end of the European
war.
Discussing the refusal Of the United
States to join Japan, the Peking News,
says editorially:
Had America acquiesced to the
pressure upon China at this critical
moment, the country bent on predatory
adventure, under the never failing
guise Of maintaining peace in the far
east would have been encouraged,
America Is evidently watching events
attentively, which may be disquieting
to others, but Is source Of comfort

ing, in 1910. presented to the court to-
day an affidavit bearing on charges
that the state has made improper use
of the county grand jury. Judge
Frank Willis took the affidavit with
out comment.
Counsel for the defense stated that
the document was signed by Miss Lat
ter, close friend of Schmidt. Miss
Latter said she was subpoenaed to ap-
pear before the grand jury and later
was questioned In the district attor-
ney's office.
Miss Latter set at rest today some
speculation concerning her presence at
the trial. She said she used her maiden
name. which she adopted in her liter
ary work. but said she is the wife Of
William Upton. Until five years ago
she lived in Chicago and San Fran
cisco and was associated with Schmidt
in labor activity.
