Your friendly which l s'pose
you mean the Madgwick slavey
who let you on to the roof from
her room-will be told that you're
having a fine time" Bertha assured
him, glancing again at her wrist
watch. There are ways of max
ing you hang out of this window
and say what's convenient to me;
just as there are ways of making
you write letters that are con-
venient to mech, Block"
Block grinned and under move
ment of his hands Lenpile screamed
suddenly and writhed, perSpiration
starting to his forehead. Then he
began to weep.
That's the stuff to give EN-"
Bertha approved. Take him along,
Block"
The sobs merged into brides.
mo wait look here, Mrs.
Yielding. P'raps | was bit above
myself to come in here but l swear
| didn't mean any harm. If I'd
been able to get proof about these
diamonds, | wouldn't have used it
against you. As it is, don't know
about anything don't even know
who you really are, l swear | don't!
There's no call for you to do-to
do anything to me. I'm not dam
gerous to you, now am l? I've
been a fool, that's all-never
dreamt you had everything 500
organized" He lunged away from
Block, who was beginning to pro-
pei him downwards.
Look here, if you want I'll
work for you," he painted out. 81
can be useful. I've been useful
already. You won't deny that,
surely? Why-why, even now"
his spectacles cleaned wildly -
'1've got something in my bag now
that'll interest you Mrs. Yielding.
It's a copy l made for you of the
deed of gift"
"All right! There'll be another
twist of your arm if you've wasted
my time. Let him get at his case,
Block"
Block stood back and Lenpile
cringed past him to the writing
table. His hands were shaking so
that he could barely open his case,
and when at last he had manipu-
lated the catch, he tilted the case
open at so clumsy an angle that
its contents were shot out in a
heap. In trying to save them he
clutched at the sacking thrown
over the writing table; the sacking
went taut and Bertha's bag and
books Joined the litter on the
floor.
In a second she had kicked
aside temples fumbling hands and
swooped down to recover her prop
erty. :. book in solid, sober COW
ers, with Diary lettered in red,
sprawled across her foot, and she
snatched it up. hen, just too late,
a warning flashed into her mind
and she glanced inside it.
Block she shrieked. Stop
him, Hold"
Just too late. While the reali-
cation came flashing that amongst
temples falling books and papers
there had been a diary exactly
similar to hers, Lenpile had thrust
something into his case, snapped it
shut and flung it with all his
strength out of the window. Before
Block could jerk him TO his feet,
there came the sound Of thud in
the street below.
Hold him. gaspod Bertha
again. over her shoulder.
She was leaning far out, look
ing down into the street. The
house on this frontage had no area
and the case had fallen on to the
pavement. The fastenings, ap-
parently, had held. for the untidy
little servant girl who was pick

CHAPTER XVII.

~ ERTHA drew in her head and
r faced the most unexpected
defeat of her life. Lenpile
was laughing and sobbing in a hys-
terical abandonment that drove
white fury to her BRAIN between
the ludicrous sounds that issued
from him there came a babble of
words.
Under your very eyes-check-
mate-laughed at me, you did"
He took off his spectacles and,
calming hims elf somewhat,
breathed upon them before replac-
ing them. Then he produced a
doubtful-looking handkerchief and
restored some order to his counte-
nance. "All depends who laughs
last" he concluded and Uttered
again, but not now with hysteria.
He retrieved his scattered belong
ings from the floor and slowed
them away in various pockets.
Bertha displayed the automatic
again.
You'll send a messenger to get
that case back" she threatened;
but Lenpile still Uttered.
Thought | was a fool because
don't carry a gun, didn't you?
Never occurred to you that those
that have brains don't need any
other weapon That little friend
of mine hadn't only got instruc-
TOMS to 20 to the police if | didn't
call to her that was all right,
she'd been told to pick up any
thing that was thrown into the
street and take it straight to
place of safety"
Not so safe that she won't hand
it over on your written word"
Lenpile glanced at Blocks huge
hands and had a visible tremor,
but he shook his head vigorously
enough.
81 told her only to give up the
ticket to me in person."
"What ticket"
"She's put the case straight into
the cloakroom at Hammersmith
Underground, and | don't mind
your knowing it. It'll show you
there's no chance of your taking
the ticket from her by force in a
crowded place like that. She'll
stand by the book-stall-the boy
at the stall is a pal of hers-and
she'll wait there until | turn up"
"And who's to say that she won't
have a good look into my private
affairs before she puts the case
into the cloak ROOM"
Il say 50. | told her not to
waste a minute anywhere and she'll
do what | tell her. She won't risk
my breaking off our-friendship."
Been walking out with her."
sneered Bertha.
Since | saw you coming out of
here two days ago" retorted Len
pile.
Bertha abandoned her sheer and
considered the situation. No sense
in Understanding him. On the
other hand. she was not panic
stricken. From Ms previous reve-
lations she had gathered that he
knew next to nothing Of the real
significance Of her interest in
Monks Yielding. It followed. then,
that in Selling her diary he had
merely assumed that he was seiZ-
ing something worth holding to
ransom. h had no actual knowl-
edge Of the importance Of his coup;
neither had he schemcd to bring it
about. He had happened to have
with him a diary Identical with
hers, and when, for a second, she
had mistaken it for her own, she
had given him his cue. On the
other hand, his "mOvie"-fed mag
nation. picturing himself in the
role Of inv.nciblc supcr-crOok, had

WAYS OF CURBING CRIME SUGGESTED
Commission Advises CuTtaiIing
 Prosecutors Powers

New York, July 15 R)-The finger of the national crime commission was pointed at the weak spots in criminal law yesterday.
 From a six months study to de- termine why 90 per cent of major criminals are not apprehended and why 75 per cent of those caught es- cape punishment, the committee on criminal procedure and judicial ad- ministration emerged with 20 rec concentrations for putting the crim- inal in jail and keeping him there.
 The provisions, contained in a re- port made to the commission, rec ommend, among other changes in criminal law, that judges be allow ed to comment on evidence, that at torneys be permitted to draw infer ence from the failure of defend- ant to testify in his own behalf, that the power of district attorneys to quash proceedings be modified and that activities of professional bonds men be curtailed.
 Under these provisions, Her bert s. Hadley. chancellor Of Wash ington university. St. Louis, chair man of the committee said, the trial of the criminal will become less a game of skill, cunning and en- durance between opposing lawyers
New Britain herald., 1926-07-15

land more a judicial investigation under the trained and impartial di- |rection of a judge to ascertain the truth"
 Every provision offered as a rem edy for weakness in criminal pro- .cedure is law in one or more states, Chancellor Hadley said. The report lis offered as an outline of a code of criminal procedure. Adoption of this code by state legislatures will pro- bably be urged.
 The third degree" was the first subject considered by the sub-com- mittee. It was recommended that every person charged with a fel- ony be taken before a magistrate or other judicial officer and after be- ing informed of his rights. be per mitted to make public statements and answer questions regarding the charge. This, Hadley said, would leave police, mo excuse for conduct ing unregulated and oppressive ex- aminations."

Charges Irresponsible Men Stir
 Up Trouble

New York, July 15 P,-The h. terborough Rapid Transit company will make another Danbury matters case" if necessary, out of it's present suit for s239,000 damages against strikers whose walkout has cur tailed service for the past several days. James L. Quakenbush. counsel for the company, has announced.
 Many of the 62 men named in the suit are prosperous, owning homes and small business places, he said, and would be made to pay. Asked if the company would attempt to take the small farm owned by one man, MT. Quackenbush replied:
 Certainly it will"
 He denied that the suit, and the determination with which the com pany expects to press it, was an ef- fort to intimidate the strikers.
 Damages in this case are in- cidental" he said. i've propose to put an end to irresponsible men stirring up trouble and discommod- ing 60O,00O to 7oo,O0O persons.
 The suit was brought. he said, for the purpose of impressing upon the strikers names and others "the fact that a contract is sacred. xxx we will collect where we can."

NEW BRITAIN KIWANIANS
 WIN OVER SPRINGFIELD
Ability of Locals To Come Through In a Pinch Scores Victory For
 Ashley's Crew.

Exhibiting an ability to crash
 through tellingly in a pinch, the
 baseball team of the New Britain kiwanis club won over the Spring. ! field Kiwanis club team yesterday
 afternoon by the narrow margin Of
 one run, the score being 13-12. The affair was staged at Walnut Hill park. Succeeding in overpowering the New Britain boys by slow ball which they could not get under, the Springfield pitcher held the locals scoreless until the fifth inning, while Springfield succeeded in piling up almost a dozen runs in that time. Stan Ashley, captain and manager of the New Britain team, and Don
 Leavitt made up the battery for the locals and, although Stan pitched a wide variety of plate scorchers the visiting delegation succeeded in con- meeting consistently throughout the carly part of the game. This, coup led with loose fielding and infeld misfires, nearly cost New Britain the game in the early stages.
 In the fifth inning things looked brighter for New Britain, when sev- eral connections were made with the pill and two runs were scored. As the game progressed the New Brit 'ainites learned the secret of the slow ball and they piled the horse hide all over the lot, tying the score in the eighth inning. In the last in ming the winning run was brought in and the locals were declared victors.
 The Springfield pitcher was taken out of the box shortly after the fifth and New Britain took advan- tage of this state of affairs. Two auxiliary swirlers proved easy meat for the heavy hitting locals and the outlook changed from that time on. Springfield played itself out in the first five innings, having no reserve to fall back on, while New Britain took almost that time to warm into playing form.
