\ MIDNIGHT ADVENTURE.

After Sims had scanned his morning
paper closely as if looking for some
thing Of great personal interest, he
threw it aside with a sigh of relief and
turned to his partner. Great excite

night. Wanson, who lives next door
to me, went away early in the summer
and left the key of the house with me

and was so tired when l got back that
l dropped off to sleep early. After
midnight few punches in the side

clothing.

and people passing along the street

stayed out not wisely but too long,
wanted to break through a window
and round up the robbers. I had a
private patrol service called, but it ex-
pressed a delicacy about entering, be-
cause Wanson was not one of it's sub
scribers. While | was creeping along
the side of the house to see if any of
the cellar gratinss were removed, the
pugnaciouS rOunder was coming the
other way in search of invaders. When
we collided he let go at me with a
scantling he had picked up, but it was
a glancing blow. You can see where

for help, the women screamed and the
officer rushed to seize my assailant.

pleats, between which the placket hole
is formed down center back. The
bodice has lining front shaped by two
darts, the pattern for which use for

ing upper with material upper, and
stitch to under sleeve by the inner
and outer seams, while elbow fullness

WOMAN'S MAGNETISM

The law of compensation finds con-
vincing testimony when one stumbles
upon a woman of the plainest possible
appearance who yet has the indefnable
attraction which we call magnetism
writes Hester Hoffman in the Illus
trated American. The woman who can
fGscinate both men and women, and
whose admirers are not confined 20
any age or condition, is the one who
can penetrate cynicism and find the
heart beneath it, who can allure with
faint suggestions of her real self yelled
IL elusive caprice, who can excite Curl
Csity, show herself capable, or surren-
der with the sweetness of weakness. be
hooking ard tender all in one breath
Her eternal interest in things outside
of herself invites confidence, her sym.
pathy encourages and her appreciation
fatters. She is never tired of her kind.
Each life which presents itself before
her is more interesting than the latest
popular work in fiction, and her inter.
est is real and not assumed.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-The monotony OF
the scientific and technical proceedings
in the Luetgert murder trial FRIDAY
was relieved by hearty laughter at the
expense of DR.. Airport, chief osteolo-
gistal expert of the defense, during the
afternoon session. DR.. Airport had
identified piece of bone as the tenn
poral bone of human being He OBJ
served that the bone would indicate
that the person had been large and
strong.
Yes, l suppose he was,'' observed
Assistant States Attorney McEwen.
He was a gorilla"
This announcement rather staggered
DR.. Airport, but he joined in the gen.
eral laugh among the lawyers, experts
and spectators. There was a warm
tilt between the witness and the as
sistant states attorney during the
afternoon. After answering a question
Dr.. Airport proceeded to give a little
explanatory lecture, depressing some
what from the subject under consider
alton. When he paused, the assistant
states attorney gazed at the witness
a moment and remarked:
you are little too fresh
Ex-Judge Vincent was on his feet in
a moment appealing for protection for
the witness.
"A little rebuke like that is good for
some people," remarked the assistant
states attorney. "One small head does
not contain all there is to know about
bones"
EX-Judge Vincent continued to de-
mand that his chief anatomist be pro-
tected by the court. Judge Tuthill put
a stop to the dispute by leaning over
his desk and remarking: Gentlemen
proceed with the trial of this case.
Airport never worked harder while
delivering a lecture on descriptive
and comparative anatomy before a
class in Northwestern university than
he did in his descriptive talk before
the jury yesterday. He drew diagrams
and pictures of bones, including hui
man sesamoids, temporals, phalanges
and others, and described them. Then
he drew more pictures of the same
bones in lower animals and COM
pared them, pointing out the differ,
ence. Few in the crowded court room
appreciated his remarks and demon
STATIONS. 1t was Greek to nearly all
except the attorneys and experts.
The jurors followed the descriptive
talk quite closely.
A severe cross examination took
considerable degree of positiveness out
Of the witness. Questions put to him
| by the assistant states attorney, but
framed by Prof. Dorsey, tested his
knowledge of bones severely. After
falling into several cleverly laid tech
meal pitfalls, DR.. Airport became wary.
His answers were not so prompt de-
cisiVe and terse as at first. He hest
tated and explained and when the
ordeal was over the witness was much
Pleased.
The battle of bones will continue
today. Prof. Eckley is to be called
to tell the jury what he knows about
bones, both of human and lower an
imals. The experts are not expected
to finish before the middle of next
week. When they get through Luet-
CERT is expected to go on the stand.

ceiving requests for passes on "Luet
