/ wasn't a tramp, but had to be-
come next thing to one in a sense.
With my having been i'll and out Of
work for months, with my being penni-
less and seedy and discouraged, with
my asking for meal here and bed
there as tramped the highways be-
tween London and Liverpool, no one
could be blamed for sizing me up as a
professional" and treating me accord
ingly. / made no complaint Of that.
What I complain Of is the vindictive-
ness Of the English law, it's readiness
to do up a man simply because he may
be poor and unknown. Once let the
law lay hands on you, and it is almost
crime to declare your innocence Of
the offense charged. A thousand men
will declare your guilt where one will
dare to doubt it.
One night, in the county of Warwick,
came upon a farmer who had neither
wife nor children, but was living alone
on his small holding. His name was
Holborne, and, though gruf at first, he
finally gave me hearty supper and
the privilege of passing the night in his
barn. When supper was finished and
he had heard my story, he offered me
pipe, and we sat at his door and smok-
ed and chatted for an hour. 1t was
agreed that should turn to next morn

identity l do not know to thissday and
who must have been moved by spirit
OF fairness sent me lawyer and gave
that lawyer money to work with. Pres
to change! Why, i born fool could
have picked up the threads Of the case
and cleared me. Within six hours aft
er had told the lawyer Of the quarrel
and the man with the catch in his voice
they had the murderer spotted His
name was Jamison, and the quarrel
was over the lease of the farm, and the
club with which he had delivered the
blow, having lost his temper, but not
meaning to kill, was found in his
house. More than that, he broke down
and made a full confession, and when
the assfZeS came on he stood in the
dock in my place. Nevertheless In set
ting me at liberty the Judge did it
grudgingly and with a warning that
my crimes must sooner or later find me
out, and | was scarcely clear of the
courtroom when the Inundated and
chagrined police overhauled me and
said: ~
1T is just possible that you.did not
commit this crime, but only because
somebody else got ahead Of you. We
know you had planned to do it and are
a dangerous man to be roaming about,
and if you are not outside the county
by shutdown you shall be run In on sus-
picion."
Jamison was hung for the killing,
and a long confession was left in writ
ing over his ewn hand, but there were
scores Of people who still believed that
"the tramp" had something to do in
some way with that murder.

sleepy, was soon in dreamland. How

their very first move was to arrest me
as the murderer. A tramp had pass

the tramp had murdered the farmer.
If you agree that the police were
asses, you will agree that the others
were fools. No sooner was I charged
with the murder than all turned
against me. Saunders suddenly re-
membered that our conversation was
heated as he came up. The two who
passed by thought they heard me use
threatening language. A farmer whom

The Flight of q Great Nebul..

One of the most striking spectacles
revealed by telescopes Is that of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the COM
plexity of it's glowing streams, spirals
and strangely shaped masses, inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged in
suggestive groups and lines. it has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
of establishment made by the sight of
this nebula is heightened by knowledge
of it's enormous size. The entire solar
system would appear as a tiny speck
beside 1t. Yet this tremendous aggre-
cation Of nebulous clouds and starry
swarms has been proved by the re-
searches of the late Professor Keller
OF the Lick observatory to be flying
away from the earth and the sun at the
rate of II miles in every second! But
so vast is it's distance that 100 years
reveal no visual effects of the great
nebula's swift retreat. II it were near
by, it would seem to become rapidly
smaller.-Youth's Companion.

VICTIMS OF ROBBERY
PROTECT THE THIEF.
The Tramp Was Allowed to Join the
Party and Come to This Side With
the Purse in His Pocket

Several men and girls who have IL
midway for the Carnival were over in
Juarez Saturday afternoon and were
taken in by the pickpockets. One
of the girls gave her pocketbook to one
or the men and he put it in his coat
pocket. While standing around one of
the games an American tramp slipped
the pocket book out but was caught in
the act-
The man thought at first that he
would have him arrested and called a
policeman. The girls interfered, how
ever, and took up for the thief. They
had a hurried consultation and decid-
ed to protect the poor" fellow and
then explained to the policeman that
ne was with them and took the book
for fun.
The tramp expressed his gratitude
and Joined the party and came over to
Ell Paso with them. He kept the purse
until they reached this side but was
told that if he attempted to run they
would shoot him.
