' China is now taking a step -which will, eventually lead to abolition of foreign 'courts in Chinese territory for the trial of foreigners and the 'adjudi cation of cases in which foreigners are parties. ' Heretofore Chinese or others accused of crime before Chinese courts have had no lawyers for their defense and no trial by jury. It is now proposed that they shall have both. Lawyers for counsel of parties to civil suits and to argue legal questions will . follow in due course. In short, a com ' plete .system of -rational jurisprudence founded on our western systems will in. time succeed to the crude system which has existed in China from time .Immemorial.

"But the right of way; I don't un-j derstand," she began; then she stopped short and clung to the strong arm.- Ar man in a wide-flapped hat and cow-J boy chapparajoes, with a. revolver on! either hip, was crossing the stream on the Ice. bridge to scramble up the em-j bankment of the new line. . rrhe officerrVshe asked, in an awed whisper. . : ' ' The Rajah, made' a" sign of assent" Then, identifying Winton in the .throng of workers, he forgot Virginia's' pres ence.

But there was no time for reproach es. The leather-breeched person mas querading as the Argentine town mar shal had climbed' the embankment and singling out his man was reading his warrant - - r Contrary to Mr. Darrah's expressed hope, Winton submitted quietly. With, a word to his men-r-a -word that stopped the strenuous labor-battle as suddenly, as it had begun he turned to. pick his way down. the. rough "hill side at the heels of;the marshal. For some reason that she could never have set out in words -Virginia- was distinctly disappointed. -. It was no part of her desire to see the conflict blaze up in violence, -but it nettled her to see Winton give up so easily. Some such.thought.as this Jiad possession of her while the marshal and his prisoner were picking .their way across the Ice, and she was hoping that Winton would give her a chance to requite him. If only with a look. But it was Town Marshal Peter Big gin, affectionately known to his con stituents as ."Bigginjin fete,", who. gave her the coveted opportunity. In stead of dllsappearing . decently with his captive, .the marshal -made: -the mistake of his life.' by marching Win ton up the track to the -'private car, thrusting him forward and. 'saying: Here's .yer meat, .Guv'aor. What-all. ufl ye like fer me to-do with hit?" Now it is safe to assume that the Rajah had no Intention'-' of. appearing .thus openly as the instigator of Win- ton's-. arrest Hence, 'if a fierce, scowl and a. wordless .oath could 'malm, it is" 'to be feared: that the.overzealous'Mr. Biggin would have .'been .physically disqualified on the spot- As., it .was, Mr Darrah's ebullient wrath 'could find no adequate, speech forms,, and in the eloquent little pause Winton- had time to smile" up at 'Miss.
