"Lissen, yo'," he continued, fish- ing out a notebook from his pocket and turning over the leaves with his thumb, and addressing the trembling butler with studied contempt. "One nigger from de Black Republic, dat's what yo' air. Yo' came from dat island ob niggers ten years ago, Yo' may be baptised in de Christian ch'uch, but yo' air one ob de small papaloys ob de debble worship.

Got anyt'ing to say agen what Ah tell yo' now?" The negro butler had to hold on to the back of the chair or his legs would have given way. Twice he licked his lips before he could make ig answer, and then his words came Imost a whisper. o, suh, Ah ain't got nuttin' to prin "5 and ober dere and bahave - nigger." One-eye laid his n.tebook on the table and nodded to the coroner that he was finished with his examination His jaws began to chew as if he had merely been talking on the weather, and Dr. Foster, sitting at the end of the room could not suppress a smile at the complete way this mulatto handled his facts. The cther servants were taken in torn. but they had little to add to what was 'already known. Onec-eye did not question any others, but when the old doctor was called and started to reply to the Coroner's questions the mulatto raised his face and razed fixedly at the medical man. "You were called early this morn- ing to this house?" asked the Coron- er in a droning tone. "I was," replied. the old doctor, mc -ring his bald head with his hand- kevchlef. "Yeu found Mr. James Barron in a s'ate of collapse, did you not?" "I found Mr. James Barron dead." "Deana?" "Dead." .The Coroner was writing this in- formation when _the door of the room ovened and a young man slipped in- side. He was a dark haired man, gtoutly built, with a slender black moustache, his hair very glossy and parted in the middle, He was dress- ed in a dull grey tweed suit and wore a Gladstone collar with a black bow iie. He bowed to the Coroner quietly. and the latter returned his - salut- ation, whereupon the young man sat . down on a chair beside Dr. Foster. The Coroner continued his quest- joning. : "Did you come to any conclusion as to the cause of death?" "I did. "What was it?" "Mr. Barron had died effect of a revolver shot." "Dead from the effects of a re- volver shot," droned the Coroner as he wrote rapidly. "How in your opinion was the fatal wound inflicted? Have you formed an epinio m Rt have.

"That will be all, doctor," he said. "I take it that what = evidence you have given is pretty conclusive--" "Ah wanna ask the doc a word, suh." ; "What did you want to ask the doctor?" queried the Coroner, "Ah wanna ask him what right he has to come to the conclusion dat Mistah Barron killed hisself 7" "I came jo the conclusion because everything pointed to it," snapped the doctor, polishing his head rapid- ly. "The man was dead, killed by a bullet; the revolver was at his feet 'Scuse me, doc. What yo' gotta say at dis heah inquest is how dis man died, dat is where de bullet killed him, not who fired de shot." The doctor frowned, ° and the Coroner made an effort to pour oil on troubled waters. . "Of course, we realise that it is the privilege of the police to add the circumstantial details--" '"'Scuse me, suh, it ain't de privi- lege ob de police at all. It is de duty ob de police." "Quite so, quite so. Well, if you care, I shall call you for the matter of detail--" "Not for no detail. I am heah to show yo' all dat Mistah Barron did not" kill hisself." As he spoke, One-eye rose to his feet and moved round to the chair in which every witness had sat." He glanced round the room as he. mov. ed, his eye taking in every person, and resting for a moment on the young man with the dark hair whe had seated himself beside Yoster. He hesitated and make a motwn towards the young man. "Guess, Coroner, yo' expected some oder evidence to de effect dat Mistah Barron killed 'hisself ?" (To Be Continued.) British Dairying . (Brockville Recorder and Times) The full extent of the campaign towards agricultural self sufiiciency which has been undertaken in Great Britain under governmental encour- agement is not realized until we read that, under the stimulus of the Milk Marketing Board some 34,000,000 gal- lons of milk will be condensed and canned for home use this year, al- ong with another 6,000,000 gallons which will be exported. The British market for condensed milk used to be almost entirely sup- plicl by outside manufacturers, many of them situated in the Dom- inions. It is now rapidly passing into. the hands of plants that have been established in Britain itself, and that are receiving thelr milk from the British producers.' As the latter's output continues to expand in response to government encour agement, the imports' of processed milk 'will probably show increasing decline, : A Canadian dairy - manufacturers recently predicted that eventually Britain would be well able to supply itself with all dairy products except butter and cheese aid would not need to import any condensed milk, milk powder or the like. The steady: growth of British milk production and the rapid expansion of the dairying industry * in that country makes this more than an idle dream.

Thus-in the Australian hinterland, as it fades toward the dry bush country of the Never-Never, the coming of wireless has been a blessing that makes our fireside sets at home as commonplace as watertaps. It has just emerged in the report of the Rev. J. A, Barber, of the Australian Inland Mission, to the Presbyterian" Assembly at Mel- bourne, that settlers' wives in the back blocks now make as habit of relieving the tedium of their lonely lives by a little gossip over the air. Many homesteads are provided with transmitters with a rddius of about 300 miles as well as the ordinary re- ception arrangements permitted to the up-to-date world. In emergency this is a great boon. At a hint of serious illness a doctor may be summoned, and in no time at all he arrives by air. And when there is no emergency it is also a boon -- for the women can gossip, their traditional whispers being taken up by the microphone and sent to and fro. It is not very clear from the cables whether or not Mr, Barber is happy about the development. Gos- GOSSIP VIA WIRELESS IS CALLED NEW FACTOR IN EMPIRE BUILDING w-- -- sip, which actualy passes for con- versation with most of us, has not a very good name. There may be the suspicion that the new facility may be bad for Australian womanhood, It nay be felt that instead of busying themselves with good works and looking after the master's socks, the women of the lonely stations are using the fine air of Australian mornings in sending idle twitterings across the wide open spaces just as their sisters 'in the cities whisper one to the other on the stairhead. However that: may be, we are not prepared to be.! despondent about it. Indeed, we are' inclined to see in the news fresh hope for the White Australia policy, with gossip in the role of Empire builder, It has been said that among white peoples suc- cessful colonization is impossible unless women have a hand in it. The colonist must have a home, and it. requires a woman to make one, and to support it with her art once it is made. : The problem in undeveloped Australia, then, is to persuade wo- their men. Hitherto that has meant giving up gossip, and the sacrifice has on the whole proved too great. Now the gossip is, as it were, laid on, the situation has taken a new and hopeful turn. We would not, perhaps, be prepared to die for the theory, but it is plausible, Find Golden Voice For Talking Clock (Manchester Guardian) After a seaf¢h"that has been go- ing on for months through the tele- phone exchanges of this country to discover a golden voice beautiful in quality, free from accent, with full- ness of tone and nothing niggardly about it, the perfect golden voice has been found among the nine candi- dates selected for the final test. It was selected by a committee of such high authority that it includ- ed Mr. Masefield and Miss Sybil General Post Office and began at eleven o'clock to listen to the un- seen. candidates speaking from a lit: tle distance. Two hours later they awarded the first prize to Miss Ethel Cain, a West Croydon girl who works at the - Victoria Exchange. The second pr.ze went to Miss I. H. Dunn, who .is at the Trunk 'E%- change. All the other finalists re- ceived a 'prize in addition to the honor an glory of having come successfully through the three pre- liminary tests. The 'golden voice will be worked pretty hard- before it has completed its task of making records on sound films to be used on the "talking clocks" that are to be installed in centres outside London, and when she has finished Miss Cain will be glad .to. know that she herself will not have to tell anxious subscribers the exact time, but that they will be satisfied with a tinned voice. The price of Miss Cain's victory was the ordeal of being confronted by a room full of journalists, press photographers, and men making talking films in the presence of the judges, who included Mrs. Atkinson, of Burley-in-Wharfedale, henceforth to be known, because of her unfail- ing courtesy at the telephone, as the perfect telephone subscriber. It was curious to see all the blaze and dazzle directed on a girl 'who spends her working hours in the obscurity of a telephone exchange, and who is only known to her busi- ness world by her voice. In her free times she often takes part in private theatricals, a leading part one imagines, but in spite of that her voice fulfilled the requirement of being "without any trace of the theatrical." The test passage she read from "L'Allegro" gave every opportunity to show the fullness of her vowels, and Mr. Masefield said afterwards that she was right in reading as she did without emphasis, knowing that the words themselves were enough..He said that Miss Cain had a sense of beauty, rhythm, and justice, i Miss Thorndike expressed her ad- miration, but admitted that, unlike the telephone authorities she liked to hear a voice with the rich ac- cents of the North, and: said she would love to hear a Scottish voice tell her the time.
