SUICIDE OF LORD DARKINUTON. Eric jumped. He read rapidly, and a second time more slowly, digesting the amazing news that his lordship had died the previous night at his Irish shootinglodge from an over-dose of morphia, selfadministered, to avoid arrest on a criminal charge which would now, doubtless, be hushed up. The details were meagre. As we know, nothing had been further from Horace's thoughts than suicide when he raised the fatal draught to his lips, and hustled his unwilling soul out of its abused body; but even in the final act of his life he was doomed to blunder.  Eric might be pardoned if the feeling uppermost in his mind were one of relief that the whole wretched business was done with, and there would be no rewashing of soiled linen in public. So few who take part in the process emerge unbespattered. "And another title goes a-begging," he said mournfully, thinkin,.g of Andy and the general ill-luck of the Darkingtons. "I'd better see the lawyers before they begin advertising for him." Then he noticed an envelope pushed half under the bread-plate, picked it up, and slit it.  "What is the Reverend Samuel writing about?" he muttered, and idly skimmed its contents.  Phew! Samuel was stern. He hit hard, and had scathing words for people who enticed other people's innocent daughters into clandestine engagements. As if the suggestion hadn't been Cathy's ' "Let him publish it," grunted Eric. "The remedy's simple."  He turned the page and whistled beneath his breath. Since his child's suitor had not deigned to consult him in the matter of the betrothal, Samuel had not consulted Eric Cheveral ere doing what he considered best for that poor dazzled child's happiness and welfare. What had he done? Why didn't the man come to the point? Impatiently he read on to the bottom of the last page, and there there was no speech left in him except a very forcible and astonished "BY JOVE!"

TOWARDS MOB LAW.  An appeal has been made to the Pankhurst militants to stop their wicked and executive crusade of burning churches, and wrecking property, which has set back for a generation, if it has not destroyed, the cause of woman's suffrage, but it has been rejected with scorn and contumely, and still the campaign of violence and incendiarism goes on. Had starving unemployed men indulged in such a p'ropaganda, they would have been put down with a stern hand. All the forces of law and order would have been galvanised into activity, and no amount of hunger-striking would have availed the delinquents. National dignity and prudence alike would have demanded the vindication of the law, and no sympathy would have been wasted on those who had attempted to set the law at defiance. But the case of mad and misguided women is different. Because something to which they are logically entitled is not given to them, they forthwith proceed to wreak vengeance on inno cent and unoffending persons, and thus demonstrate their unfitness for the powers which they desire. The time however, has come when fanatical women who commit unreasoning outrage must be allowed to bear the consequences of their acts, whatever those consequences may be. Unless stern measures are adopted, worse evils than suffragette outrages may befall the country. Already there are signs that public exasperation has reached a point when the mob may take 1, the law in its own hands. Two or three magistrates who have refused to punish offenders for attacks on the militants, have pointed out this danger, but to most people it would seem that it is hardly for the Bench to condone illegal violence by whomsoever it is committed. 1 It is inconsistent to condemn women for breaking the law, and at the same time to allow the impression to get abroad that suffragettes may be maltreated with impunity. What is necessary is a firm, just, and unswerving assertion of the law and the punishment of those who infringe it, be they men or women, suffragettes, or anti-suffragettes, duchess, or charwoman.  , At the same time it is impossible to shut ones eyes to the fact that the behaviour of the militants has created a widespread and deepseated feeling of anger, which may in the case of the vicious, or the foolish, lead to violent reprisals. That is a peril suffragettes now have to face, and if the dicta of London magistrates are followed they will have no redress. That is a prospect no law•abiding citizen can view without uneasiness. In that direction anarchy lies. It is a tacit invitation to political hooligans to run amok with results that may be appalling. Far better that a militant should commit suicide by refusing food than that a number of unoffending as well as offending suffragettes should be killed or maimed by an angry mob.

AMUSING STORY FROM PARIS.  COMEDY OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.  An amusing story of attempted suicide is sent by the Paris correspondent of the Standard. M. Laplume, of Bicetre, recently lost his wife. 'fired of life, he thought of throwing himself from the top of a column of the. Bastille, when he met a girl named Lucienne Neranty at the base. Struck with a sudden I idea, he addressed the lady, saying that he was resolved to die, but required As,istance. If Lucienne could spare an hour he would pay her £l2 for her help. Lucienne accompanied Laplume to his lodgings, where he produoed a razor, and, after laving himself on a sofa and closing his eyes, he instructed her how to open the veins of his wrists, as he had heard that this was quite a painless way of death. The girl, thoroughly frightened, and believing that she had to do with a madman, and had better kill him than be killed, attempted to do as she was bid, but, trenibling with terror, she only slightly gashed the flesh and herself fainted away. Laplume was annoyed, after waiting a few minutes, that he did not feel much worse, and opened his eves, when he realised the Elltuation. When he had brought the would-be executioner to her senses with a plentiful douche of water, he declared that the whole business had been bungled, and that she must begin it over again. He then adjusted a slip-knot round his neck and invited the girl_ to pull, which she agreed to do, and did, so with such effect that Laplume rolled senseless on the floor. --The residuary legatee then collected all the money, silver, and other valuables in a table-cloth and carried off her legacy, which she proceeded to enjoy in the company of several friends. Laplume, however, had not been any better strangled than bled, and when he came to he began to regret the testamentary dispositions which had left him penniless. Accordingly he went and told his tale to the police. In a very short time the detectives discovered Mlle. Lucienne and her friends -Making merry, and, much to their aeroniehment, took them to the station, where LueiI mane was still more surprised to find Laplume.

AMAZING MOTOR EXPLOIT.  THIRTY HOURS' RACE THROUGII  FOUR COUNTIES.  ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN CELL.  H. Lee Bond, the motorist who terrorised two counties with a loaded revolver and was arrested at Lyndhurst on Sunday, LI now lying 'in a serious condition in Southampton Hospital as a result of attempting to commit suicide. Bond was detained at Lyndhurst , pending the arrival of constables who were to take him to Dorchester, where the clixrges against him were to be heard. He was allowed to send for his dinner on Sunday to a 'hotel before he started for Dorchester. When the tray was brought to the police stati or Bond seized the knife and drew it across his throat. ConAable Puling flung himself him, and in his efforts to secure the knife hi hands were cut severely. The noise of the struggle brought other constables, and even. Wally the mad motorist was overpowered. A doctor who was summoned found that Ecni's injuries were so severe that he had to be taketi in a, motor-car to the hospital at Southampton. Bond started his weird career near Shaftesbury on Saturday evening, where a farmer re- : ported that a young man in a blue ear ['Joie 1 up to his house and demanded petrol. Wlic7' the farmer said that he did not keep it the man,. drew a pistol on the farmer, who rushed inin his house, and then the motorist went off. He was next seen in the town of Shaftesbury. where he bought two 14-gal. tins of petrCl. While the bill was being made out tln, ' motorist stowed the petrel in his car and made off at a high speed. The police were warned, and the car was chased.. At Wilton, near Salisbury, Inspector Wells endeavoured to stop the car, but the driver put on speed, and his companion pointed two revolvers at the  ihspector. The car was followed through Stapleford to Maiden Bra.dley, where all traces of it were lost. But early on Sunday morning a well-dressed man with a chauffeur arrived in a blue motor-car at a garage in Dorchester. where he obtained a supply of petrol and drove away without paying the bill. The oddity of the man's clothes, which ilf.• eluded an old and weather-beaten khaki helmet, and his unkempt appearance. with 'nearly a week's growth of beard, had been noticed at the places which lie had visited, and such details as were obtainable v ere circulated by telephone and otherwise amon2 the police over the whole of the surrounding counties. The Lyndhurst police knew a man answering the description given to them, and a watch was was kept on the house where he bad been living. Towards evening the snsnected man arrived in the car and entered the house. Owing to the firearms which he carried the police felt it unwise to attempt to rush the house, and it was not until shortly before midnight that the man was canture'd. The arrest took place at a secluded residence known as Mill House, on the borders of the New Forest. Bond has been living at Lyndhurst for ' about a year.
