Local agents of the liner said to- day that the vessel had not intended to stop at Kirkwall and that they in- ferred that she had been held there for examination as to her cargo. The message received here came from Captain Hempel and consisted of four words: “Arrived at Kirkwall Sun day.” Second Time Stopped. This is the second time that the Oscar II. has been diverted from her course inta a British port. On the previous occasion she was detained for a few days and then released. Despatches from Copenhagen stated that anxiety was expressed there and that the vessel was two days overdue. This was denied by local agents, who said that the ship was not expected to Teach Copenhagen till tomorrow. 400 Passengers Aboard.

Boston, Feb. 17.—Arguments in the now famous Ryan-Mansfield $50,000 breach of promise trial were scheduled today, after which Judge ¥Fessenden was expected to give the charge to and a verdict is looked for probably tomorrow. The arguments will probably take all day today. Ior seven weks testimony has been going in for both sides, until there xre now more than a dozen thick vol- umes of evidence, all typewritten, making quite a library. Few breach of promise trials, or in fact any trials, have_ever attracted more public at- tention in Suffolk count Miss Elizabeth M. Ry tiff, was on the witne vesterday, and further 'illustrated to the jury how roulette was played with the little “bouncer’” and also how the marked cards were utilized at Ferncroft while she was there. Play Game of Roulette. She was cross-examined at length by M. L. Sullivan, attorney for the de- fendamt, Harry K. Mansfield, proprie- eor of Ferncroft. In doing so Mr. Sul- livan had Miss Ryan play a game of roulette with an imaginary wheel. While he tried his luck at the wheel, placing his chips (he used silver quar- ters instead) on the red, black or green numbers, she spun the wheel and showed how she put in the little piece of wire caleld the “bouncer” to prevent. the player winning anything. Attorney Sullivan in his cross-es the plain- nd again amination requested Miss Ryan to im- agine that there was a roulette wheel | on the stenographers’ table just in | front of the witness box. He told her she was to be the “operator” who did the “spinning” ‘while he was to be the ‘“player.” Simple When You Know How. When asked where sh put the tiny “bouncer,” or piece of wire, Which caused the roulette marble to bounce out of a hole when the operator want- ed it to, Miss Ryan said: It is very simple when you know how Two silver quarters were p on the table by Mr. Sulliv: Ryan, in reply to questions “palmed” the ‘“bouncer” and . that tife operator had to be very fast to slip it in without being caught in the act. Miss Ryan testified that the outside piazza at Ferncroft was at times used for gambling. The wheel was used in the balcony, living room and two pri- vate dining rooms in the rear. “Before you, M Ryan, you have an imaginary wheel,” said Attorney Sullivan, “And here is what?” point- ing to a place beyon@ the wheel and away from Miss Ryan. “A cloth,” she replied. “And where do the players stand?" “About the table.” “You are spinning the wheel 2" “No, it is always spinning. give it one spin and it spins along. It is oiled.” “Now we'll assume there is an imaginary wheel here and T am going to bet my money. In fact I am betting my money. You wouldn't put that thing, the bouncer, here, would you?” “Oh, no.” “Where is the wire?” “Arc you going to play?” aced up- n. Miss said she You right In Goes the Bouncer. “Yes, I am going to pla I'm putting my money on a number.” “Are you going to pla persisted Miss Ryan. “I am putting it on a now,” declared Mr. Sullivan. “If he‘s got a bundle of chips and if he's playing on five why, I slip the bouncer in, of course.” “Does every man number?” “We know what you play.” remember, T am a inger. I am going to play the game and I am betting my money. I put down my | chips on the number. Now how do you slip in that little thingumabob?” “Oh, it is very simple when you know how,” replied Miss Ryan em- phaticall ) “You you can put a bouncer in | the wheel to prevent tlfe ball going | into the pocket on which T have bet?” bsolutely, yes.” “And can you do it while the wheel is going?” “If it is not going too f: ly T can— but of course I quick about it.” “Where did You have the bouncer?"” Alw *One in Her Hand. “T always had one in my hand.” ‘You palmed it?” number play the same slows= must be D Miss Ryan, you've got the bouncer, and T am playing the red,” and Mr. Sullivan placed a quarter and another coin on the table where the wheel was supposed to be. “Now how are you going to put the | bouncer on the red?” | “Oh, T have plenty of time when | the ball is spinning.” “As the wheel goes around while I am playing on the black and when | the wheel revolves ter, going around, vou get the bouncer in. Do | you mean to say you ¢ould put in onc of those wires when it was going?” “If it was not going very fast.” “Do mean to that a man watching the game, with his money at stake, couldn’t see you putting in a | rou I,nave done it. The players were usually looking intently at their | chips, they were not watching me.” “But now I am looking at the num- bers, or the colors?" “Then you are the only one that ever did.” “But { couldn’t if T was looking at you, put in the houncer?" we got caught once at Fern- | We wouldn’t put it in, of | -se, if a man was looking at yus, Attorney Sullivan then took up the marked cards. He asked Attorney | Coakley for the pack of playing cards vou STUDY AND EXERCISE Btudy does not hurt a child unless the study time is taken from time that should be spent in out-of-door exercise. Overstudy and lack of exercise make thin, bloodless children. It is a com- bination that provokes St. Vitus’ dance. If your chil(‘flis thin and pale, listless, inattentive, has a fickle appetite and is unable to stand still or sit still, you must remember that health is even more im- portant than education. See to it at once that the patient does not overstudy, gets at least two hours out-of-door exercise every day, sleeps ten hours out of every twenty-four and takes a non-alcoholic tonic like Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills until the color returns to cheeks and lips and the appetite be- comes normal. For growing children who become pale and thin Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are not only safe but in the great majority of cases they are the very best tonic_ that can be taken. They build up the blood and strengthen the nerves and assist nature in keeg)ing pace with rapid growth. The Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectadf’, N. Y., will send you two books on the blood and nerves if you mention this paper.

Now {for & Game of Pitch. Shuffling the card Mr. Sullivan walked to the witness stand where Miss Ryan was sitting and gave her the pack “Miss Ryan, now shuffle the cards, please,” said Mr. Sullivan, and while she was doing so the attorney said: “We'll use the stenographer’'s table here and have a litle game. At Mr. Sullivan’s request a court of- ficer pushed the witness stand out of the way after M yan had stepped down. “Now we'll sit down here and have a litle game,” said Mr. Sullivan. Miss Ryan sat down on one side of the table and Mr, Sullivan sat opposite to her with his back to the bench and Judge Fessenden, who leaned over and looked on, Mr. Coakley stepped up to the table, too, “Now what kind of a game did you play?” asked Mr. Sullivan. “Pitch,” said Miss Ryan. “How many were in the party 2 “Four, five or 2% “How many cards do you deal out?" “Let us have a three-handed game, and you des “I haven't Mr. Sullivan,” played for a long time, said Miss Ryvan, who shuffled the cs and slowly passed one to each player. Therce were sup- posed to he three, Mr. Sullivan, Miss Ryan, and the court stenographer, Clark H. Burt, who continued to take notes, he being a sort of® dummy player.

As she ssed the cards out she looked at the ack of each card “Is that the way yon did when you were playing cards? Would you look at them all?” inquired Mr. Sullivan. “T would look at them, yes. T am netso fast as I ured to be at playing cards."” “You dealing them look at them and get the money & not to get the money “Remember there arc two strangers playing.
