It was the year 1003. Mr, : Dougal, the wealthy owner of --- Moat * Farm, had acquired a "reputation as a ladies' man, and there was tap.room gossip about Lis lights -0'-1o0ve," but he was hearty and generous and much # Loretta reigned as the "Vegetable Princess" of the annual event, held this year at Pomona. other documents bearing her signature had been presented 'and cashed regularly by Dou ugal By now nephews of Miss ol- land, already uneasy at the four years, absence of news of their aunt, had been sho®n 'speci- mens of cheques bearing her geries. Superintendent Pryke visited Although the Superintendent appeared satisfied, Dougal lost his nerve. The next day he withdrew all. his balance at banks in Saffron Walden, some $3,000, and left. Moat Farm. Ap- parently he intended to move very far from Essex, for he de-- osited his luggage at Liverpool treet /Station and_went to the Bank of England to change some ten pound notes. These had been obtained on : a cheque which the police be- "leved was a: forgery of Miss Holland's signature, and their numbers had been circulated. Dougal was arrested at the bank ° and charged with forgery. The next day he appeared be- fore the magistrates at Saffron Walden and was remanded in I best work, the skeleton's iden- tity would probably never have been proved. As it was, Mold was able to establish beyond all doubt that he had made the boats six years before for Miss Camille Holland. And, largely as a result of his ford on July 14th, '1808. A sharp increase in the price paid for rhinoceros horn has spotlighted a strange Eastern superstition and mystified Lon- don exporters. The horn is sent to China, round and blended with other gredients, and sold as a magic potion. It is supposed to give phenomenal courage to anyone who takes it. In 1919 rhino horn was worth between half.a crown and five 'shillings a pound. Then, at the time of the Abyssinian" war in they had had a drink of the elixir, 3 The Korean war raised the price of the horn to nearly £3 a pound in 1952. At this' year's sales the price "shot up to £4. London exporters are still puz- zled, Mr. Charles King, a director of - one of the export firms in ques: tion, says "We have had a stand: ing order for rhino horn for 80 years which must be the longest on record. "We. know it is used by the Chinese to make a potion sup- * posed to give gourage, strength, and virility. Once"it was main- ly taken by both mandarins and their wives who wanted sons. in Korea took it. They believed it would give them fanatical bravery." For 200 years native and Euro- pean hunters have sent rhinoc- eros horns to London from East and West Africa, Each African rhino has two horns of about six pounds each. The horn is auctioned by a City firm. About 170 rhinos die every year to supply the market. 30 years ivory examiner to the. Port of London, and one of the greatest experts on the subject, poses. Of course, we have heard strange stories about its uses and effects, and as far as I know they are true." Mr. Yates keeps a little snuff: box of powdered rhino horn in his office. "But I've never had the courage to taken any!" he confesses smilingly. Churchill Didn't Shine At School -- off aon passed "into Harrow lowest boy in the Jowant to fille past according to' their scholastic record. The masters struggled with ~ Churchill in bewilderment and indignation, He was self . dent and assertive; he could t the hind leg off a donkey; why could he not learn the rudiments of Latin and Mathematios? Churchill insists that where "my reason, imagination or interest was not engaged, I could not or would not learn." There is ne doubt that stubbornness played a considerable part for when his twelve years of school came to an end he declared with some pride that no one had ever sue- ceeded in making him write a Latin verse or learn any Greek except the alphabet. + #1 got into. my horoy ounded Te vl 100 to could at learn Jatin b e was oyer and over again in p and syntax.

When, one evening in May; 1899, Mr. Samuel Herbert Dougal drove home: in the pony. and trap: without the mistress, Florence was terrified. She bar- was prepared to jump out of the window "should Dougal break down the door. . The mistress never came back' nor did Dougal attempt to molest Florence that night. He had something else to do; and Florence left next morning, Scotland Yard. Quite .a lot was discovered about Miss Holland and Mr. Dougal. He was an ex-soldier who had forfeited his pension 'after a conviction for forgery; the: lady was a wealthy spinster who, most surprisingly, had lot with a vulgar and un- scrupulous adventurer. Moat Farm stood in her name, At this time the police be- lieved Miss Holland was a prisoner in her own house, their belief being strengthened by the fact that cheques and, clothes round it. The remains were those of a woman, the medical experts de- clared. .She had been shot through the head, and the posi- tion of the bullet holes ruled out suicide. it was, but at first it seemed as , though proof might be impos- sible. Dougal stood his. trial - at Chelmsford in June, 1903, on' a . charge, not of forgery, but mur- der. - There was *one amusing incident to relieve the grim story. Miss Florence Pollock of Bayswater, at whose house Miss Holland stayed in 1893 while Dougal was "courting" her, was called to identify thes accused. She gazed round the court and her 'eye fell on a figure sitting .
