CHAPTER XII.

Twenty minutes later they were in the sheriff's buggy, on the. way to Danube. Ratclif had put cheap cigar ing to light it till they were entering the town. .t
 ''Thar's one disagreeab ble feature," he, remarked. At first, my idea was to hurry up an git it over, so you wouldn't have to go to jail at all; but it has just struck me that this is Saturday, an it is sometimes awkward work to have trial the last day O the week. You see the prosecution will want to summon Thad Williams, an that will take time. Then, as tomorrow is Sun day, you may have obleeged to wait overtin Monday.
 Ronald told him that it would make little difference to him whether he spent the time in jail or out.
 "You feel that away now," comment ed the sheriff, "but you will feel diff ferent when you git in thar, at least that's my experience with prisoners. A jail house is like a woman's bonnet; it has a better look from the outside than the inside"
 Just before driving into the public square Ratcliff struck match and ap- piled the flame to his cigar, then he drew himself up more eSectly and drove on to the office of>Judge Richard son, the magistrate. A man coming cut told Ratclif that the judge had gone out to his farm to spend Sunday.
 "You see," said Ratciff, as he puffed, and seemed to view himself from the standpoint of group of citizens who had gathered on the sidewalk and whose eyes were asking what had hap pened. One of the crowd stepped out to the buggy and asked if Ronald was under arrest, but he received only . non-committal grin and . shrug as Ratcliff turned his horse towards tbe jail, modern red brick structure ad- joining the courthouse in the center of the town. When they arrived the jailer, short, thickset man, with 2 bald spot on his head, was playing checkers in the yard with the ordinary of the county. The jailer answered. to his name reluctantly, without looking up from the board. S. S

HYPNOTISM.

Prof and Mrs Farnsworth will open at Polfs this evening in their series of prdcucal hypnotic tests, although. in q sense, sthe engagement may be said TO nave opened this noon when the professor, as related in another col amn, put young man in q hypnotic sleep in the window of Moriarty's Waterbury Furniture Cos store. At 1ne eXn1Dlc1on tomorrow evening this young man win be awakened after his sleep of thhty-two hours and will re- late some of his feelings to the audi ence. A number of local persons have volunteered to go upon the stage at PolIs this evening and submit them selves as subjects. and Prof Earns worth feels sure that from among them he will be able to chose several susceptible ones. With these he will illustrate the various phases of hyp- nOtJSm, and the exhibition will no doubt be as amusing as it will be in- teresting. Indeed, it is in the line of comedy that the Farnsworths direct most of their tests, in order that the audience may be amused at the same time that it is interested. The couple enjoy a very high reputation for eff ciency in the working of these hyp- nOtic tests, and wherever they have played the press has accorded them very high praise. Persons, therefore, who are interested in the wierd work tngs of hypnotism-and this means about every Une-will find these exhi- bitions at Poli's of absorbing interest. and there will undoubtedly be very large audiences present at every one of the four exhibitions to be given. At thie evenings exhibition ladies who are escorted by gentlemen will be ad- aQitted free of charge.

Seven young ladies stood the examina-
t'on and we arc instructed by the Su-

able.
Miss Epting has already attended
Winthrop two sessions and will this fall

without applying for the scholarship.
Her examination papers we're most
