Another who earned a similar amount was an officer of his class, was elected to three clubs, sang on the Glee Club, and was first mar shal of Phi Beta Kappa.

 "D'you know, we've got clue to the poor chaps identity? ?" remarked Mir Anstruther, "a feeble one, but still, something may come of it.

 "One of her patients up in London has woman 1riend-a kind, moth erly person called St. Aubyns. Miss Donovan once had tea with her, and vaguely remembers some remark about son--an only son. Miss Don ovan is up in town today, and is go- ing to phone this lady, and see if she can find out anything"

 Her husband was sitting beside her

 Then the situation dawned upon me Alices husband had been having it out with her over last nights awk- ward happenings. The astute little lady had had resort to tears before her explanations were entirely satis- factory. And now all had been for given. The time-worn woman's wea- pon had etfectually 'worked." Alice's nus bands once more adored her.
 I switched the light off, advancing toward the fre-lit couple. Mr. An struther got up hastily.
 ''How goes the invalid, Helene ? He smiled at me in his kindly fash. ion.

 War on Chinese

Picking, Feb. 25.-Danger that the Bolshevik government of Russia may make war on China is pointed out in the Peking Leader by B. Lenox- Simpson, writing under the pen name of Putnam Weale. He is the author of several works on Chi na and recently was retained by the Chinese governmen tas "statistician' reporting directly to the president MT. Lenox-Simpson says that in theory Bolshevism could not really declare war upon a non-capitallstic country where the millions toll as much as do the Russian millions; but, nevertheless, China finds heI border provinces greatly affected be- cause agreements made in years gone i by with the government of the late Emperor Nicholas have not been
 definitely cancelled and also "be- cause Japan is leaving no stone un'
 turned to inherit those agreements i and arrangements.'
 The author sees a possible cause
 for declaration of war on China by
 the Bolsheviki in the fact that thu
 old Russian diplomatic and consular
 establishment in China has beer supported by Chinese funds from thu
 Boxer indemnity account. "lt t
 quite likely" he asserts, "that thu
