CHAPTER XIV.
MIR. BARNES ON HIS METTLE.

MIR. Barnes and Virginia returned to
Riverside farm, reaching there just as
the people were assembling for the fu-
neral services. The squire greeted Vir-
ginia cordially and looked interrogative-
ly at Mr.. Barnes, evidently little con-
fused at seeing them together. Virginia
hastened to explain.
Squire, hope you will be glad to
hear that Mr.. Barnes is now working i'll
my interests? He does not believe that
Walter is guilty"
"Is that true?" said the squire, quick
ly interested. "Iam glad to hear it, for,
though Burrows seems to have made
out a complete chain of evidence, If
you, Mr. Barnes, with your experience,
are unconvinced, there must be a weak
spot in it. Tell me, how is it?"
"Mr. Burrows is mistaken." said
Mr.. Barnes. His evidence is all good
and most important His deductions
however, are incorrect. AS you say,
there is flaw. pointed it out to him,
but he is obstinate and refuses to see it,
He cannot convict Marvel without prov

complice after the fact if not before"
"God forbid that he should do that. y
II was afraid that he would have
brought out this point before the grand
Jury, and that Miss Lewis as a conse-
quence would have been still in prison.
That he has not done so shows that he
secretly fears that he could not sustain

"Your last query is hard one to

that. Now, I wish to SEQ the body
again. Will you come with me?"
The squire and the detective moved
toward the parlor, where was the casket
containing the remains. Virginia went
to her own room. The two men stood
beside the coffin moment in silence.

AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

II there Is one thing above all others
with their good right arm, 1t is the pro-
tcction OF American citizens In foreign
lands and the principle OF UNFOLDING tho
dignity OF the flag under any and all cir
cumHtances. 1t Is true that this policy, uu-
der several administrations, has not bee n
as vigorously upheld and asserted as It
ought to have been. but there was gem
orally some underlying cause for nom
action and always some excuse for seeming
indifference.
To be an American citizen should be
passport and safeguard wherever the
light Of civilization penetrates, 30 long as
he who claima the honor recognizes his
| responsibilities as well as his rights: and
the spirit that slorifes this doctrine should
be lnstilled into the minds of the young
and tho old so deuply and 10 universally
as to become a part OF the air we breathe
and the hope to which we may safely
anchor.

THE LOCAL SITUATION.


Those outside OF Houston are much
more disturbed over the results of DR.. Gull
teras' visit here than are the people OF
Houston themselves, and, were 1t not for
the Inconvenience and hardship OF quar-
antine. there would be nothing to mar to
any considerable extent the even tenor Of
things.
The truth is. q great majority Of tho
people here do not believe, We have any
yellow fever In tho city. and this opinion
ia fully shared by nearly all Of the local
phyBiclans.
Tho situation is this; Two o: the cases
pronounced yellow fever byopr. Guiteras
are we'll. the other two nearly no; no ad-
dltional suspicious case reported; the
board of health has not specifically pro-
nouneed mo yellow fever in Houston
for the reason that tho National and State
experts having said there Is, II Is con-
sidered best to be conservative and eau
tious and for fcw days at least give the

This Is the situation In a nutshell and all
there Is to It. People here do not believe
we have yellow fever because the prevail
ing disease is no. killing anybody; they are
not afraid of it because II It really b.
yellow fever 1t Is OF such a mild type
that 1t ia practically harmless.
In this connection It may be wei, te

which sanctions abuse Of Drs. swearinger
