This certainly shows that our gradu-
ates have come to the mark. Last year
we only had Stewart and Adams to aid
us. This year have complete charge, and
my appeals to the graduates, which have
been constant, have, as you see, met
with responses.
The material we have in hand Is, on
the whole, as good as we have ever had.
For center H. H. Lewis, colored stu
dent, is doing fairly we'll. He was in the
Amherst team last year. He Is rather
light in his work. w. Fl. Shea is getting
his weight down from 225 to 210, and is
rather slow yet
II. Russell is one Of the new men. He
was q member of last years famous Hop
kinson School team. aud is . promising
player.
Trying for guards we have Bob Acton,
who was a member of the crew, and il a
new man in football
w. S. Mackay played right guard last
year. This year l am trying him as
left guard, and he is doing finely. j. A.
Highlands, the we'll known Harvard
pitcher, is playing for guard. c. A.
Pierce Of ST. Paul School team, q Fresh
man this year, is q strong man. He met
with an accident early in the season, but
will be all right soon. r. Blake of last
years team is light, but is playing well.

Annette. The courtroom was crowde-
with angry creditors, and the usual
rabble of lookers-on. Seated near her
father was Annette, her pale face full
of LOVING solicitude for him. l found a
seat where could watch her without
attracting attention. and there I sat
torturing my soul first with pity for
Annette and her father. and then. with
pity for myself 1t occurred to me for
an instant that if NJ. Dauchy was sent
to prison, might play the part of the
noble protector. Ny heart almost
leaped with hope. But no. there were
relatives rich and kind. that would not
see her suffer, and felt, too, that A n
nette's proud spirit would never allow
her to marry while her name was
under q cloud.
The case proceeded slowly, and the
weight of the evidence seemed to be
against NJ. Dauchy. All apparently
hung on the delivery of certain pack
ct of valuable papers to NJ. De Puy,
the banker, whom had seen across the
court. II. Isauchy swore that he de-
livered thess papers to NJ. De Puy on
the 18th of July, that gentleman hav-
ing called fo- the purpose of obtaining
them on the morning of that day. Hav-
ing perfect confidence in ID. De Puy, he
had demanded no receipt. NJ. De Puy
denied point blank having received the
papers from NJ. Dauchy on the day
named. or any other day. He even
went so far as to swear that he was not
IN Paris on that day, and produced two
witnesses to corroborate his testimony.
at seemed to me that everything was
going wrong. / could see no Hope for
NJ. Dauchy. Almost breathless with
excitement and anxiety l strained
every nerve TO catch the full meaning
of all that was said. I almost forgot
to look at Annette. Just at this point
NJ. Dauchy picked up packet of pa
pers and handed them across the table
to his attorney. Some thing in the
movement struck me- as familiar. What
could 1t be? | felt that must solve the
problem at once. 1t was my chance to
act, but my brain was in a whirl What
was the connection? Why could not
get something tangible out of my con.

My pictures! There was one; yes, I
remembered it perfectly now, in which
M. Dauchy was handing packet of pa
pers to M. De Puy. There was some
thing remarkable about the clearness
of this picture that had struck me at the
time. / remcm Der that even the hands

the chances were that if ono OF them

very likely hit him. So he rested in .
corner for moment and pondered. A
gas pipe ran up that corner to the top
OF the window, and then across it to
the side where the snakes were grouped
in defensive front. Tho result of tho
rats pondering was that he scurried up
the pipe and ran along it until he was
directly over the snakes and six feet
above them. The rattlers were not
long-headed enough to see what this
move OF the rat meant, and they didn't
change their position. Tho rat eyed
them for q few seconds, and then
jumped right down upon them, land
ing on them behind their bristling
heads. He nipped ono through the

Pantall intimated that he would like to

of that hotel is very accommodating

The man came back in q few minutes.
He had five rattlesnalxes, all nice, big,
bright, sassy fellows, fresh from the
freedom of tho adjacent hills. The
guest who had said he was anxious to
see rattlesnake turned out to bo a
liar. He didn't want to SEQ RATHER
at all, for when the man came in with
his choice specimens the guest jumped
out of his chair five feet, and grabbed

the guests discourtesy all in good part

lying at one end of the WINDOW in q
listless sort of way, but the instant the
rat dropped in every snake was up in
arms. Each one coiled quicker than a
flash. Every RATHER sounded a loud
alarm; five big and ugly heads were
raised from the coils, and five black
tongues darted out and quivered with
the excitement of their owners. The
rat crouohed down in one corner and
seemed paralyzed with terror. Ten
glittering eyes glared at it, and moth
