She appeared in Court dressed in an attractive foreign coat and skirt, but pkntifully bedecked with

orna- Chinese ments. The case was heard by Mr. Blackburn and Magistrate Yui.

In concluding his cross examination of the plaintiff, Mr.Linebarger secured an answer that the defendant threa- tened to take both her own and the plaintiff's life.

Mr. Linebarger: Now, regarding these documents. Was she more anxious to get you as a husband, or your money?The money loan deed came last of all.

CASE FOR THE DEFENCE,

Mr. Linebarger said that, on the strength of it having been admitted that the documents were genuine, he would apply for immediate judgment on the counterclain. "The plaintiff," he said, "is a graduate of American universitics. He had this girl seques- trated in various respectable colleges where he was traching. It is the first time that I have known of a returned student setting out to ruin a woman's reputation in this wicked fashion."

The Assessor pointed out that judgment could not be given on a counterclaim for various monetary items which had neither been ad- mitted nor proved..

Mr. Linebarger then called the defendant. She said that she was a native of Szechuan, in which prov ince her grandfather, father and brothers had all held official positions. Her father was a professor and pre- sident of a Szechuan college and also a magistrate. She gradyated from the Szechuan Normal School and then joined a law school in Shanghai.

Mr. Linebarger-The plaintiff says that you hung about the Oriental Hotel and went into his room and introduced yourself. Where did you meet him--I met him twice when I was in Shanghai at that time, at the Szechuan Guild.

Defendant continued that, the same year, she went to England and stayed there three years. She also went to Scotland and various parts of Europe, returning to Szechuan in 1916. Then the Szechuan Government made a selection of students for further study abroad, 40 boys and herself being obosen. She came to Shanghai to wait for the money, but funds were tight in the province at that time and the money was never sent. Whilst she was waiting, the plaintiff again met her and proposed marriage.

She was then arranging to go to the Nanyang College as a teacher, at $150 a month, but be forced ber to give up the idea, saying she could go with him to Hunan and find a position, as teacher there. They went, but the military soon afterwards closed their school and the plaintiff only was able to secure a position, which did not bring in enough for the two of them to live on.

ON LOVE AND MARRIAGE. Next she went to Canton to or ganize the Women's Self-Government Society and whilst she was there the plaintiff wrote to her almost every day, aaking her to come back to him, na a house and furniture were all prepared for them. "He asked me plainly to marry him and said: "You and I are so good to each other that we can only be man and wife?!

She produced a letter and Mr. Linebarger remarked: "Yes, it looks like love lettor, with beautiful flowers and apple blossoms and all those sorts of things," The letter, p very long one, read in part as follows:

You say that matrimony is the wning reward of mutual love. Tuls larue indeedi o To solve the econo" | uno problem two things are needed

its develop the income and to curtail the expenses by frugal habits. TEO latter course is oven more important. You have already given ma console ation in the thought that as bõik of ás have seen the luxurits of the world

OTHER LETTERS TOO.

The case was adjourned and Mr. Linebarger promised to supply the other side with copies of the letters.

These Tablets, being gently laxative, relieve the little one almost at once. Then it quickly falls into a peaceful natural sleep, awaking rested and re- freshed ready for its meal.

Meanwhile, his client was examining them and a minute or two later he said he would withdraw the admission, as the plaintiff said that characters had been altered.
