Look to me-" said Kirby. che would
have worn that new suit to Reno.
Silence back there! Mr.. Rowley, why
didn't you specify that suit OF clothes?
You specified everything else"
Because didn't take the time
that's why"
But you said. sir. you did take the
time. You said you yourself entered
every item, down to plug of to-
bacco."
''Mr. Kuhby" Dan couldn't hold in
any longer. "Mr. Kuhby, ain
bought a suit of clothes for seven
year dis comm March. Dat seventy
five dollar for intrust. He 'splain dat.
Folks hear him do it. I ain't never
'spute 1t. All l claim is I pay it.
What de matter, mis-? I amt tellin'
nuff1n' but de trufe!"
Kirby said: I've learned all I
want to know. come here this
mornin' expectin' to spend about ten
or fifteen minutes on this case. But
right in the beginnin' several things
come out that caused me to think this
case might bear lookin' deep down
into. One was your impatience, Mr..
Rowley. l didn't like that impatience,
Mr.. Rowley. You're a busy man, you
say. So am I. But both of us can
anord to spen' one mornin' of our
lives lookin' into the case of an OF
niger who's been faithful to his
white folks for over fifty years, but
who, II he's guilty. as alleged, will
spen' the rest of his days in the peni-
tentiary. l don't know no better way
to spen a mornin' than that
Dan Abel took a bale of cotton out
of yo' shed. All right. He ought not
to have done it. But there's q mighty
big difference between takin' a thing
an stealin' 1t. Did Dan Abel steal
that bale of cotton? If he did, he
committed a heinous crime. But a
man can't steal his own property. If
Dan Abel had paid you what he owed
you, then that bale of cotton was al
ready his. an he was only recoverin'
his own property that had been forci-
bly, removed from his premises
Now, Mr.. Rowley, had he paid
his bill? You say he hadn't He

istrate. $50 far as records go, the
case is balanced in my mind, what
ever higher cot might decide. But
| now comes in the circumstances of
them. receipts which he asked for an
which you refused. an of them mis-
leadin' an absurd statements you
made. An these facts, sir, weigh
against you in this cot, an would
weight against you in the Circuit
Cot, an in the State Supreme Cot,
an in the Supreme Cot of the United
States, an befo' The Hague tribunal
II 1t got that far, which It won't. An
now for that seventy-f1ve dollars.
You charged that OF nigger seven

well that l ain't even goin' to argue
| it. You charged him seventy-five
| dollars interest on a bill of three
hundred an twenty-five dollars for a
| period of less than one year.
Now, Mr.. Rowley. you know what
the legal rate of. interest IS in the
State. It's Z per cent. You know
| that to exceed that rate is extortion

preferably both. An you have

He rose, trembling slightly.
! MY f1ndin' is" he said. that the
defendant, Dan Abel, is not guilty OF
stealin' a bale of cotton, as alleged
| that he only recovered what was his
already and which the plaintiff had
unlawfully seized; that he is the vic
tim of extortion, an if he so chooses
can bring Indictment. for the same.

hot fryin' pan he had picked up un-

says he had. Here's your book to
bear out your statement. Here's his
stick to bear out his. Ones evidence,
the others evidence. An to my mind
there amt much choice between 'em.
An Furthermore, I believe the courts
would sustain me in that opinion.
The notched stick goes far back in
law. Long befo' men had ledger
books the notched stick was the
means by which they kept accounts.
In England, where our common laws
all arose, the kings sheriff used to
keep account of money collected by
notchfn' the same on a stick. If
there's ever been any decision throw
ing out the stick as evidence, l never
heard tell OF IL. To my mind-an'
believe in the eyes of the law itself
this OF nigger's notched stick is just
as good evidence as your book.
80 the evidence, as far as records
go, is the same. Now, what about
the circumstances that will tend to
throw this case one way or t'other?
First. Mr.. Rowley, this oil nigger
asked you for receipts. You say, I
don't give EN- Whether I do or not's
got no bearin' on this case. I'll say
this, thought don't give receipts be-
cause my hands don't ask for 'em, but
no man, sir, black or white, ever
dSheu me IOT a receipt ne was en-
titled to without gettin' it.
I'm the second place, Mr.. Rowley
Dan Abel says-an' you don't deny
it-that you told him you would let
him see the payments entered in a
book, claimin', in his presence an in
the presence of. others, that this was
the same as givin' a receipt, an that
f1ggers can't lie. In the first place,
sub, you knew he couldn't read an
was ashamed to own 1t. You knew
that If you put down sixty dollars or
sixty cents or six cents, for that mat
ter, 1t would be all the same to him.
In the second place, you knew that
your statement that figures can't lie
Is, so far as bein' assurance of fair
dealin' goes, ridiculous an absurd
Figures can't lie, Mr.. Rowley, that's
true-but liars can figure"
'Da's itt' chuckled old Dan to him
self. "Da's what I been try to say
an couldn't"

That viceroy had also elaborate
schemes for establishing a system of
Fairgrounds and gymnasium for the
physical education of the youth of
the city, and had inaugurated a
series of athletic meets. He put
boys and girls to study together in
the same classrooms, which was at
that time startling innovation in
China. Among the higher educational
institutions established here were
the government military and naval
academies.
Besides the institutions under the
direction of the Chinese, Marking has
a number of schools and colleges es-
tablished here by American mis-
sionaries. This city is. in fact. one
of the most important centers of mis-
sionary activity, which has been a
great factor in the development of
schools throughout the whole of
Kiangsu province.
THE largest and most interesting
of the foreign educational insti-
tutions is the University of Nanking,
maintained Jointly by four Protestant
denominations in the United States.
Including all departments. 1t had last
year more than 1.500 students in at
tendance upon its courses, and 1t is
recognized all over China as one of
the vital forces that are helping to
create the new China.
The university is. situated in
Nanking proper, not far. from the
ancient Drum Tower. Its campus
comprises about so acres of land,
about which are scattered numerous
buildings of modern construction, in
cluding dormitories. laboratories, lee
ture halls and homes for members
of the faculty. 1t has also forest
nurseries and experimental farms. I
visited it today, looked over its
buildings and grounds. and had talks
with several Of its officers and in

felt some one tugging at my sleeve.

years or thereabouts who was ad-
dressing me in perfect English. He
was eager for me to come with him

missionary, and proudly displaying
his knowledge of the English Ian

Entering the examination halls ]
inspected the many stalls in which
the candidates had to remain during
the entire period of their examina-
ton. In another visit to Nanking
some years ago, there were 10000
boys at work in them, taking exam

three nights Once the students had
entered small compartment where
they prepared their papers on the
classics, they were compelled to re-
main until all were completed.
These stalls are not much larger
| than one of our telephone booths.
yet in them the students often lived
for days. Guards were stationed out
side and food was passed in through
little cubby hole. Sometimes, after
the examination periods were over,
it was found that some luckless can
didate for academic honors had died
In his cell. Today this great struc-
ture was deserted, save for two Chi
nese youths who were painting a
work of modern art. and a few
private schools in the city are all
that survive of. the educational, sys-
