He identified everyone in the room twice, three times, but not once was there any one left who might be the old man's secretary. There was no question but that Claude Wayne was missing. If Jardin had been there Dale would have whispered the information to him. Sands had already started to speak so Dale did not care to interrupt The absence would be discovered soon enough. "It will no doubt interest you to know," the district attorney was saying, "what, in all probability, Silas Wayne was about to tell you this evening. He got far enough to intimate that he intended to inform each of you what was to be his or her legacy. The will he had prepared has been found. Fortun ately or unfortunately as the ease may turn out. it ia tnsigned." Sands paused to take the will from his pocket, unfold it and glance through it for a starting point. Finally he found it. "To Sarah Boulter he intended to leave $100,000 to be paid on the day she bore her first child." Sands paused and looked toward Sarah. There was a puzzled, dis mayed expression on her face, The effect was heightened by the sharp, rising inflection of her voice as her startled words burst forth "But Uncle Silas knew I could never bear a child!" "Of course, the dirty old lubber knew it." The sonorous voice of Stephen Boulter almost rumbled in the small room. "He might just as well a left you a million. He was so mean he didn't deserve to die with his boots on. He should've stretched out in a bunk an' suf fered for seven years afore he passed on." tragedy. 'drenT" "One," she answered finally in a hushed tone. "But why do you ask that? My child has nothing to do with this, nothing, I promise you!" "And your husband, Miss Sheen?" It was Robin Dale's voice. Everyone turned sharply, even Wilfred Sands. Dale was watching Miss Sheen. She looked bewUderingly from him to the district attorney. Sands nodded signifying that she was to answer. "He is not living." After her answer there was a long moment's silence.

Wendell Will kie gets the credt for Uncle Sam's abandonment of America's extra territorial rights in China. Pre sumably he's entitled to it. While he was in Chungking recently, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is said to have mentioned to him that the Chinese would consider it a friendly act. Wendell passed the hint on to Washintgon and the state department (for extraterri toriality, where it exists, is a dip lomatic, treaty-arranged institu tion) promptly acquiesced. It unquestionably pleased those of the Chinese who are sufficiently informed to know anything about the matter, and was a very com mendable policy to be adopted. However, most Occidentally-pub-lished accounts of the transaction go on an altogether wrong assump tion.';. The popular theory evidently is that the strong and more or less modern western nations forced the extraterritorial arrangement upon the - back numbered eastern ones because the former refused to per mit their visiting citizens to be subjected to the east's barbarous systems of so-called law and jus The fact is that in many, if not all instances, it was the native government which declined to be pestered by a lot of resident for eigners' squabblings and miscel laneous litigations. China's olden time Peking im perial regime took just this posi tion. Shanghai A Toehold Back in the days when Yankees, among other Occidentals, were try ing to establish themselves as trad- and out from the 'concession'. But, mind you, we won't be both ered with policing that patch or adjudicating any quarrels you may, between yourselves, get into. All that stuff will be YOUR worry." So that's how extraterritoriality got started in China. Ditto Tur key and some more places. But to' return to China. Shanghai was the system's focal ooint, being its vital Chinese cen ter. An Independent City The U. S. and most of the Euro pean bunch presently semi-federated their concessions for the "for eign city." It was as independent of China as a hog on ice. France, indeed, remained segregated main taining what was known (and walled in) as the "French city." The rest of 'em, though, com bined on a kind Of a muncipal basis. Yet that was an issue of policing mailey. If an American, you went on a Yankee rampage, the interna tional police pinched you, but your own Yankee court tried you. Furthermore, there was a regu lar U. S. court (as big as any sub- supreme tribunal) to submit your larger scale appeals to.

Finally the Peking folk agreed to let 'em have Shanghai as a toe hold. The foreigners subsequently transformed it into a big city, but it was an insignificant little burg then, illustrative of the low rating placed by Peking upon "foreign devils."
