of more than average attractiveness.

LONDON, Aug. 31.-The strike of
London police spread steadily through
out the night and early today a ma
jority of the $4,000 constables had
joined the movement. The city Of
London police joined the Metropoli-
tan forces last night and only few
members of the night shifts, which
come on duty at o'clock, appeared on
the streets. London is customarily
the most thoroughly and efficiently
policed Of all the great cities of the
world, but one might walk for miles
today without the sight Of the familiar
helmet and blue uniform. Compare
lively few special constables, respond
ed to the call to take the policemen's
places and as a consequence the city is
practically unguarded. That London
is one of the most orderly cities is
proven by the absence of the police
men from their beats.

One day, however, in struggling
with the wretch who owns her, she
summons up enough courage to shoot
and wound him, and instantly, her re-
pressed courage drives forth the fear
that has oDsessed her since childhood,

She has been befriended by dissipat-
