LONDON, March 17.-Another "mys-
terry" case, involving persons of high
rank, came UP before a British court
today. when the suit of Mrs. Muriel
Waterhouse against Sir David Will
son Barker Lady Wilson Barker and
r. p. Sheldon went TO trial after
counsel, at the judges request, had
vainly tried to effect out of court a
settlement of the affair, the mere
mention of which Justice Sir Mon
tague Sherman said was a scandal
One OF the features of the case,
which was merely docketed as one
involving fraudulent misrepresenta-
tion." was the declaration of Mrs
Warehouses; counsel that Lady Will
son Barker was the principal de-
fendant and that Sir David who is a
noted naval expert and geographer,
was made a defendant because he is
legally liable for her wrong doing"
Outlining the case counsel said the
victim OF the alleged conspiracy was
the late Alfred Francis Waterhouse,
son of a wealthy family, who first
met Lady Wilson Barker at Harro-
gate, the fashionable watering place.
in 1895. His widow was now seeking,
counsel declared, ito recover money
extorted from him" She alleges that
Lady Wilson Barker secured large
sums of money from Waterhouse
through fraudulent presentations
with Sheldon.
Discussing the character of the
case, which was barely outlined,
counsel said it was one of a kind
which of late had been too common"

with exposure after exposure. that
Strengthening the law is the only
remedy. But I am sure IL does not

tional case"

AS the lawyers detailing Of the case
progressed II seemed quite apparent
that the judge in'his reference to the af-
fair. according to the plaintiffs version
OF it, as a scandal" had claSsed 1t with
the famous Mr.. A" case the Dennis
toun trial and others which have been
given wide publicity in England recently.
Lady Wilson Barker, who then was
Mrs. Wilson-Barker, had gained the af-
fection of Warehouses; aged mother
many years ago, Counsel T z. Hayden
said, meantime had intrigued with the
son and later told him a man had dis
covered the liaison and had threatened
to tell her husband unless given large
sums OF money In this way, counsel al
legged, she had extorted over a period
OF years total amount OF f1O,075 from
her wealthy lover 1t Is this sum which
Mrs. Waterhouse is seeking to recover.
counsel said, adding that the plaintiffs s
principal evidence would be that of a
nan-servant taken by a commission
when he was dying.
Waterhouse Died Poor.
Mr.. Sheldon, who, IL is declared, re-
cefved an allowance of 1900 annually
from the mother OF Mr. waterhouse, is
alleged to have been the partner of Lady
Wilson-BaIker in the plot.
Counsel Hayden declared that Mr..
Waterhouse, although he had Inherited
fortune and had a good income, died

She had not drawn the blinds in

Of the windows open to let in the

The consciousness came to her
suddenly that someone was out there
in the garden, watching her, that
she was not alone.
Panic seized her-supposing it
were Seton. She started to her feet
and went over to the window.
She flung it back to its farthest
extent and leaned out into the sleep

asked, urgently.
And the answer came back in
Peter LISTERS voice:
at is /, Nan-Peter-let me come
in.
For some moments she could not
find voice with which to answer him
the blood was hammering in her
temples; a throbbing pulse seemed
to be choking her.
Peter came closer to the window
she could hear his quick breathing,
and suddenly he put up his hand
and caught hers in hard grip.
LET me come in," he said again,
and there was a sort of anguish in
his voice. ooh, for Gods sake,
Nan. :"
He bent his head and kissed her
hand before she could stop him; she
could feel how hot his lips were; it
was as if some magic wand had
waved them both back-he and she
to the days which she thought had
gone for ever.
The room seemed close and suffo-
eating, she longed to get out of it
into the night air where she could
breathe; she answered him in an agi-
tated whisper,
I'll come out wait moment,
I'll come out. :"
But he did not release her hand.

then again: You promise me that
you will?"

she was saying.
She stood for moment in the hall
listening.
There was no sound from upstairs,
but from the kitchen Mary was dron-
ing the chorus of a popular song to

herself as she banged away on the
wooden table ironing her aprons.
Nan found herself listening uncon-
sciously to the sentimental words:
There's long, long night of wait
ng-till my dreams all come
true
Till the day when I'll be going down
the long, long trail to you"
Mary's voice was shrill and I'M
lovely and she sang in too high a
key. but there was a sort of pathos
in the sound, as if in some corner
of the little maids heart there lurk-
ed romance with a capital letter.
Nan gave half-laugh that seemed
to break and die in her throat. She
was so nervous she hardly knew
what she was doing, but the little
bit about the dreams al coming true
seemed to strike home to her.
'"This is a dream" she thought as
she crossed the hall and opened the
front door "This is a dream, but
one which will never come true"
And she went out and down the
dark pathway to meet Peter.
Man.
She felt rather than saw that his
arms went out to her, and she shiv-
cred away with a little movement of
fear
"Oh, no no." she said in
whisper
She turned away from him to-
wards the gate.
LET us go out can't breathe, -
she said with a sort of wildness. He
walked beside her silently till they
were out in the road.
Everything was very still here
there was a family iridescent light
as if somewhere behind the clouds a
moon was shining, and when Nan
looked at him Peters face looked
gray in the eerie light of it.

began incoherently. Il don't know

said hoarsely. Il swear if l never

He was shaking all over; his voice
was wrung with agitation.
Nan could not speak-uncon-
sciously she put out her hand and
caught at Peter to steady herself,
and the next moment she was in his
arms.
He held her to his heart as if he
could never let her go. He spoke
foolish, incoherent words of love, to
which she listened like one in a
dream. And all the time she kept
telling herself that that was all it
was-a dream-a dream; that she
must keep her head, or she would die
when the bitter awakening came.
Presently, with an effort. she
wrenched herself free.
ooh, don't, please-please."
They were close to the stile that
led into the wood now. Nan leaned
her arms on the top bar and laid
her head down on them with dread
full feeling of faintness, and for a
long moment neither of them spoke.
''If I raise my head or look up, l
shall find that he isn't there at all,
she was telling herself despairingly.

breathlessly. She hated that note of
pain in his voice, but but as yet she
could do but little to help him.
