Eustace was arrested on his re- lease from Brixton Prisod, whers he had been committed for con-heart troubles were of rheumatic tempt in connection with a High Court case.

Mr. Bingley asked if this case was connected with a civil action he had read about in the papers."

Mr. V. Evans, for the Public Prosecutor, said it was. He said that the alleged forged telegram read;

I have drawn three cheques amounting to about £7,000. Please arrange to honour them. I will send, cheques in a day or two to cover them. M. B. Sterling.

Mrs. Margaret Berkeley Stirling, a widow now staying at the. Great Central Hotel, Marylebone, said she met Eustace when staying at the Alexandra Hotel, Hyde Park, last February.

Eustace, she said, told her that he had been a man of wealth and had lost his mnaey by paying his bro- ther's debta On March 6th she met Eustace in the drawing-room of the hotel, and he asked her as a favour to let him have four, open cheques for one of his open cheques. She agreed, and the exchange was made.

Two days later she received" a letter from her bank informing ber of the cheques for £8,844 drawn on her account, and pointing out that the £955 in the account would be insufficient to meet them. She denied that she had given Eustace authority to send the telegram to her bank.

Cross-examined by Mr. Levy, de- fending, Mrs. Stirling said that sho had known Eustace about a month when the exchange of cheques took place.

Friendly Sympathy.

Mr. Levy: You had become pretty friendly 1-Friendly in the ordinary way as visitors are in an hotel.

Friendly enough to discuss your private affairs with him and he with you?-Naturally, when he told me all about his brother, I had sympathy with him.

You told him you wanted to buy an hotel 1-To open an hotel.

And you confided in him to such na extent that on one occasion he went with you to inquire about one 1-He went to inquire about one and I went with him.

Were you going to open an hotel between you 1-That was the idea: He wanted to open one.

You know he bad to find a con-

I suggest that this large cheque was drawn partly to find the money and partly for money you would require to purchase an hotel?-He had no permission from me to draw a cheque for £8,000.

Mrs. Stirling said that according

Mr. Levy said he did not suggest anything that was not perfectly proper, but he put it to Mrs. Stirling that she liked Eustace and spent a great deal of time with him and was anxious to please him.

Mrs. Stirling: We were not on friendly terms more than anybody else.

origin, so that it could be stated that approximately 25,000 died an- nually in Great Britain as the re- suls of rheumatic heart disease.

He said:

My own experience has been that rheumatic heart disease is somewhat more common in the fair-haired Nordie races than in the dark-haired Iberian stock, er. paraphrasc Anita Loos, to "Rheumatiam prefers blondee."

Indeed, I have often remarked on the frequency of rheumatic hearts in children with red hair, when I see in my wards a child with red hair," "freckles, and a definite pallor of the face, I'make

ebrewd guess that "he or she will be found to have been ad- mitted for heart disease, and I find I am right in almost every

DAJO,

It has also been my expericace in the East End of London that rheumatic heart disease is less common among the alien popula. tion, notably Jewe and dark- akinned races.

The big Public Schools, without to be almost exception, seem immune from it, and at Eton, in spite of its low-lying situation, where there are over 1,000 boys between the ages of 13 and 18, a case of rheumatic heart disease is of the rarest occurrence.

THAT INTERESTED

H. M. THE KING.

WHY?

Because, not only was it British, but it was proved to be better and cheaper than Foreign-made typewriters.

HOW?

Not only the Home, Dominions and Colonial Governments, but also the Swedish Government have decided to replace Foreign-made typewriters by the "Imperial."

BECAUSE

As the result of open competition they were proved better and cheaper. Leading Firms in Britain, Australia, 8. Africa and Canada are doing the same."

This evening at the first of these services many travel-stained motor fets mingled with the usual attend- ance of farmers, agricultural labour-P. & O. Bank ers, and others. Outside was a line of cars ranging from the luxurious saloon to the little runabout.

Mr. Lloyd said in his sermon that he mentioned in his appeal the fact that the church was only half mile from the Angel Inn because be prided himself on understand ing human nature. Continuing, he said:

If you were to ask any London man where St. Xavier's Church was he would not be able to tell you If, however, you were to ask him where the Elephant and Castle was he would tell you at once what omnibus or tube to take.

The religious man is supposed to regard public-house as a place of abomination, and it is that spirit I want to contradict. Christianity had nothing to do with what a man eate or drinka. I always find that whatever else I find in a public-house I find some of the best "elements human nature.
