To recognize any such rule as contended for would be contrary to the whole theory of the extradition laws." In Rogers v. Rogers (1912) 138 Ga. 803, 76 S. E. 48, it was held that a nonresident coming voluntarily into the state to defend a misdemeanor charge was not exempt from the service of civil process or arrest thereunder in a suit for divorce and alimony, the court saying that the exemption from service of process extended only to witnesses, and therefore not to a defendant in a criminal case, inasmuch as he could not be a witness in his own case under the existing laws. In two cases apparently proceeding on the assumption that a nonresident defendant in a criminal case is immune from process it has been held that, the presumption being against the right to immunity, a nonresident defendant must show that he came into the state for the purpose of attending the trial, and a mere statement that he is a nonresident and was served while under arrest for an offense, without showing that he came into the state for the purpose of the trial, is insufficient. Day v. Harris (1891) 20 N. Y. Civ. Proc. Rep. 255, 14 N. Y. Supp. 3; Sander v. Harris (1891) 20 N. Y. Civ. Proc. Rep. 258, 14 N. Y. Supp. 37. II. Person released on bail. A similar conflict is found in the cases where the attendance of the nonresident sought to be served with civil process is in pursuance to the terms of a bail bond. In some jurisdictions it is held that a nonresident of the state is exempt from the service of civil process while his presence in the state is in compliance with the conditions of a bail bond.

The author is pleased to be able to present a sequel to "Aunt Jane's Nieces," the book which was received with so much favor last year. Yet it is not necessary one should have read the first book to fully understand the present volume, the characters being taken to entirely new scenes.The various foreign localities are accurately described, so that those who have visited them will recognize them at once, while those who have not been so fortunate may acquire a clear conception of them. It was my good fortune to be an eye witness of the recent great eruption of Vesuvius.Lest I be accused of undue sensationalism in relating the somewhat dramatic Sicilian incident, I will assure my reader that the story does not exaggerate present conditions in various parts of the island. In fact, Il Duca and Tato are drawn from life, although they did not have their mountain lair so near to Taormina as I have ventured to locate it. Except that I have adapted their clever system of brigandage to the exigencies of this story, their history is truly related. Many who have travelled somewhat outside the beaten tracks in Sicily will frankly vouch for this statement.Italy is doing its best to suppress the Mafia and to eliminate brigandage from the beautiful islands it controls, but so few of the inhabitants are Italians or in sympathy with the government that the work of reformation is necessarily slow. Americans, especially, must exercise caution in travelling in any part of Sicily; yet with proper care not to tempt the irresponsible natives, they are as safe in Sicily as they are at home.Aunt Jane's nieces are shown to be as frankly adventurous as the average clear headed American girl, but their experiences amid the environments of an ancient and still primitive civilization are in no wise extraordinary.Edith Van Dyne.

Aunt Jane's Nieces Abroad CHAPTER I THE DOYLES ARE ASTONISHED It was Sunday afternoon in Miss Patricia Doyle's pretty flat at 3708 Willing Square. In the small drawing room Patricia--or Patsy, as she preferred to be called--was seated at the piano softly playing the one "piece" the music teacher had succeeded in drilling into her flighty head by virtue of much patience and perseverance. In a thick cushioned morris-chair reclined the motionless form of Uncle John, a chubby little man in a gray suit, whose features were temporarily eclipsed by the newspaper that was spread carefully over them. Occasionally a gasp or a snore from beneath the paper suggested that the little man was "snoozing" as he sometimes gravely called it, instead of listening to the music. Major Doyle sat opposite, stiffly erect, with his admiring eyes full upon Patsy. At times he drummed upon the arms of his chair in unison with the music, nodding his grizzled head to mark the time as well as to emphasize his evident approbation. Patsy had played this same piece from start to finish seven times since dinner, because it was the only one she knew; but the Major could have listened to it seven hundred times without the flicker of an eyelash. It was not that he admired so much the "piece" the girl was playing as the girl who was playing the "piece." His pride in Patsy was unbounded. That she should have succeeded at all in mastering that imposing looking instrument--making it actually "play chunes"--was surely a thing to wonder at. But then, Patsy could do anything, if she but tried.
