but it was not so easy to escape
as my cool friend assured me. The
whole inside work had been shattered
and there was nothing by which we
could climb to the windows, which
were high above US, as our car was
overturned. lying On its roof
We made so many efforts to jump

In an instant E!sa's little white hand
sought the saddle girth, and a pistol
cleaned before the astOniShed eyes OF
Gray Eagle.
His hand fell from the bride as he
recoiled from the dangerous weapon.
The little whip fell with singing
force along Rowdy's flank. The pony
bounded forward. and an uplifted hooi
struck the Indian full in the breast.
He fell like log, and Elsa rode toward
the big elm tree.
"Harry!" her trembling lips breath
ed family. ''Harry-dear harry
where are you?'
THAT is Elsa's voiceW exclaimed
her brother, somewhere in the g gloom.
I'VE are here, little sister. For God
sake, lend us knife. Gray Eagle has
bound Us hand and foot the drunken
villain"
In another moment Elsa had found
the captives. \ few deft cuts with 4
pocket knife, and the tough grape vines
with which their hands and feet We're
secured, parted, and Mordaunt Steele
sprang forward just in time to catch the
)faintlng form of the girl as she swayed
in the saddle.
"Poor little thing.' murmured Nor
daunt. raining kisses on the white face.
sWhat terrible ordeal she has passed
through. II could find that rascally
Indian, I'd pummel the life out OF
him"
"Here'S his pony" cried Harry,
who had been investigating matters as
well as he was able for the darkueSs.
This is rare luck! I'll take Rowdy,
and YOU can carry Elsa on Black jim.
Aha tere's Gray Eagle, sleeping OF
his debauch IN the middle of the road.
The storm will soon rouse him.
Not stopping to investigate the lndl-
ans condition, the young men mount
ed the ponies and rode off through the
rain to the mission, reaching there
about ten o'clock.
Elsa came to ner senses on the way
sufficiently to relate her experience,
which threw some light on kashwa's
mysterious conduct.
Shame faced and repentant, the lat
ter sought an interview with the super
intendent the next day. 1t was the bad
fre-water, he pleaded, made him seek
the Snowdrop's hand and attempt to
revenge himself on her lover.
He would never touch it again, if
Mr.. Morris would only excuse him this
time. As he had been badly bruised
by Rowdv's hoof, and thoroughly
frightened into the bargain, the super
intendent forgaTe him after q severe
lecture.
Mr.. Hobbs keeps the lemon extract
at the post under lock and key now
and it is seldom the Winnebagoes get a
taste of fire water in any form.

Devices Of Lawyers.

DCtiCSS VI Lei CLSs
Lawyers, even eminent ones, have
not always dsdained the use Of
tricks in tie courtroom, or device:
by which they produced an effe'l
upon tie Jury more telling than
| words could have done.
A suit was brought few years age
by the people Of certain quarter Of
Montreal again.t manufacturing
company. The vile odors CT the
chemicals used in the works, they
alleged, had made the neighborhood
untenable, and seriously lesSened the
value Of their property.
Judge and Jury were inclined to
turn a deaf ear to the com plant,
The company was rich and powerful,
and an "alleged smell" as their
counsel declared, twas too intangi-
bic a grievance to grasp"
One Of the opposing counsel was
seen TO 20 out and not long after re-
turned with two glass retorts
"He:e," he said in tue course OF
his plea for his clients, ARE the Of
Tending subjects Of our contention" "
He passed them to the judge and
then to the jury who smelled them
and smiIingly declared them pure
and odorless.
But" sad the counsel, the com,
pany mixes them" He suddenly
poured the contents OF one Of the
retorts into the3other, and the nau-
seous fumes Of hydro sulphuric acid
or sulphuretted hydrogen TILED the
air. Judge, jury and spectators
choked for breath. 1t was necessary
to adjourn court until the next day,
when heavy damages were at once
awarded to the plaintiffs.
In a murder trial before Western
court, the prisoner was able to ac-
count for the whole Of his time ex-
cept five minutes on the evening
when the crime was committed His
counsel argued that it was impoSSi-
Bile for him to have killed the man
under the circumstances in as brief a
per Cd, and on that plea largely
based his defence, the other testimo-
ny being strongly against his client.
When the prosecuting attorney re-
piled, he said, "HoW long a time
really is five minutes? Let US seeI
Will his honor command absolute ST.
lence, in the courtroom, for that
space?"
The Judge gracious!y complied.
There was clock on the wall. Every
eye In the court oom was fxeo upon
it as the pendulum licked OF the sec
ends There was a breathless 81
lence.
We all know how time which is
waited for creeps and halts and at
last does not seem to move at all
The kcen-witted counsel waited
until the tired audience gave a sigh
of relief at the close OF the period,
and then a aked Guietly:
"Cou,d he not have struck one
fatal blow in all OF that time?"
The prisoner was found guilty, and
as 1t Was proved afterWard, justly.
Dramatic effects, however, are
hazardous agencies to Use, as 1T is
not Impossible to spoil them by an
anti climax as a member OF the
English Parliament found when at
the close OF fiery ad ,uraticn to the
government to declare war, he CT. ed
out, "Insheath the sword" and
drawing dagger threw it on the
floor.
"Ah" coolly laid an opponent.
