Now supposing, for the sake of argument, that I'd got up and been allowed to say all this, what would have happened?

I should have had to admit straight off that I couldn't produce ja scrap of evidence to support any of it, at last not the kind of ovl dence that would wash with a jury. There certainly was James's re- mark: "I shall hear about it if I don't take my aspirin.' That satis. fled me who he expected to hear about it from, but there was only my reword for it-that ho'd put it that way, and you know what law- yers are. They mightn't have be- lieved me.

Amid impressive surroundings, and in the presence of a distinguished and full congregation, the Right Rev. Ronald Owen Hall, was enthroned Bishop of Victoria in St.

His Lordship later. John's Cathedral on December 30, preached an inspiring sermon, which was interpreted in Chinese, and pronounced the Blessing. Sented in the front row of the Cathedral was His Excellency the Governor, Sir William Peel, K.C.M.G., K.B.E., and Lady Peel, accompanied by Capt. R. F. Walter, A.D.C., and Mr. J. G. Pilcher, Private Secretary.

The enthronement is fully reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

After nearly four years of residence at Flugstaff House, in, the office of General Oficer Commanding the British Troops in China, Major-General James Walter Sandilands, C.B., CM.G., D.S.O., a popular officer, left the Colony for Home on board the P. & O. s.s, Kaiser-I-Hind on December 31. The official farewell took place at Queen's Statue Pier, where His Excellency the G.0.C. met many friends. Cap. tain R. F. Walter, A.D.C. to H.E. the Governor, was present, as was the new G.O.C., Major-General O. C. Borrett,

The departure le reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.

An appeal for the health of the young was made by Sir Shon-son Chow, who presided at the annual meeting of the Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Chlidren, on Decem- ber 28. Sir Shou-son spoke of the extension of the work of the Society and dealt highly on the Welfare Centre, which was started only seven months ago.

On the motion of Sir William Shenton, the office of Direc tor of the Society was created for Mr. T. M. Hazlerigg,

walked into a chemist's and asked him to bleach some of them white and make them look like aspirin ho might, easily think, it fishy, and I; doubt whether you would set his mind at rest by saving that you only wanted them for a joke.

All of this I knew quite well, having taken the trouble to inquire, but there was another fact which I didn't get to know till afterwards which might have made a differ- ence. It was rather strange. For a certain time during the war the French Army medical people had put up their perchloride of mercury in white tablets, not blus, and these did in fact closely resemble the

aspirin. present-day

Moreover, each tablet contained seventeen grains. Now three seventeens are fifty-one, or almost exactly what James was reckoned to have taken. But all this would have gone for precisely nothing (even if I'd known it and said it) unloes any of these convenient tableta could he traced to Mrs. James, and they, most definitely couldn't.

The police had searched the house as a matter of routine and analysed avery bottle, wheather empty or full One might also safely conclude that they bad made Inquiries from all the chemists where the lady might have denit. I know they went to mine.

Then there was another thing which made it difficult to accuse Mrs. James, and that was the ab sence of motive, because the ob vious one, money, was practically ruled out. It transpired that she had twelve hundred a year of ber own, and the average woman with as much as that isn't likely to mar ry and then murder some wretched man for the sake of another: five. thousand. She wouldn't take the trouble. In fact, what with one thing and another, my theory didn't stand a hope, so I thought I'd let it atow a little longer.

The lady left the court without a stain on her character and later on went to live in the Isle of Wight. For all I know she is still there, en joying her twelve hundred plus five thousand a year, but whether she will go on doing it is quite another thing, because:

A short time ago I was just fin- ishing a pipe before going to bed when suddenly, apropos nothing, there came into my head the name I had seen under her picture at tha instant, it had looked like a photo- graph. It was a somewhat peculiar name, and not the one under which she had married James, NI All the same, one doesn't imagine a name for no reason at all so I worked it out that at some time or
