To tin' Anglo -Savon, who regards the Jury system with more than usual pride us a thing of his own fashioning the new Is singularly gratifying, for, taken on the whole, the Anglo-Saxon Jury prob nbly deals out as much Justice as any other form of trial, remarks the North ddnn Herald.- There have been mis takes ; quite as mtiuy as the trial bj Judge alone has committed, possibly inore. Hut when a number of men ?fct In Judgment, aided by the direc tions of a Judge, their verdict is not ho often wrong as lo comb-inn the. sys tem. Trliil by Jury, as we understand It, entails the onus of proof resting opon the prosecution, the Innocence of the defendant assumed until the of fense Is proved, and the duty for t he Jury of "passing between our sover eign lord the king and the prisoner at the bar." If frequently Imparts that quality of humanity Into the proceed lugs which enables the rendition of truer Justice than the law often per mits, and on that ??eoro alone has Jus 1ty)ed Its retention in the courts of Great Hritaln and America.

You will appreciate a cup of tea?" Lord tlerald suggested, ami led the way Into the great hall, with Its line coiled Ion of rare old painting*: "Men Perkins 'will show you your rooms." "Lord I (oil Iris," she said, with char acteristic frankness, "If 1 could find H leu dim: man like you for my hero 1 would pay him a thousand dollars a week. You are the living Image of the lover In my story? at least the very type 1 want." He scarcely recognized his own voice nor his own sudden leitp Into a woild hitherto unknown. "Topping salary!

"Lord Rollins cried Myra swiftly, "If you would consent to act with me In a series of five pictures, and per haps more, 1 will make the salary three thousand a week.

"The die is cast." laughed Lord Holllus boyishly, and put out a too. white hand? the war had left him a bit delicate ... The tea call arrived, well laden with thin bread, and butter, Devonshire cream and strawberries. The sltua tjon straightway became normal, for every one drifted In from various door ways, famished for tea. Lord Rollins never forgot that first ten party when, under his ancestral roof, the entire MyVa Dawson film company partook of his hospitality. Myra was constantly on the alert for scenes, anil the conversation jump ed at random from English springtime to American skyscrapers, but ever and anon Lord Hollins found that his eyes were meeting the pair of brilliant ones belonging to Myra.

His move ments when under the scrutiny of Myra were a bit stilted, hut she was most encouraging and spleudidly help ful. Working with her was a pleasure far beyond any Lord Rollins had ex- ; perienced. The novelty, the excite ment and the occasional delightful loYe scenes through which he acted with Myra all helped to lead him back to the oldtime health and strength. Ij was during the third reel of their second plav, when, as per direction, he was pressing a .smothering ki^s on the i fuir heroine's left cheek, that Lord Rollins spoke not reel but real love words.

Power and speed in abundance are needed today to guarantee adequate performance. Sudden emergencies of daily service require a motor that responds instantly to every demand. Ride in the Glenbrook and observe how it accelerates from a speed of five to twentyfive miles an' hour in nine seconds flat. Test its speed; try it out over had roads and up steep grades. That's the sort ot demonstration that will reveal the full advan' tages of this distinctly new engineering development.
