And Mrs. Bunny had about forgotten the mat- ter of powder, when Belinda came home one evening with a very good look on her face, Her mother no- ticed it at once.

The money was left in the care of an~ other Russlan, Michael Paviovick Soshiagin who, it is now alleged, re- fuses to return it to Semenoff or his i representative, Junta Suzuki. The i latter, who has brought the action, claims that Semenoff deposited 1,400,- 000 yen with Soshiagin in September, 1920.
