means of the cold water that runs to

There was little conversation be-
tween husband and wife that morn
ing. Breakfast was ready on time
and was perfectly to A1nos's liking.
AS soon as he finished eating, he
started off on his errand.
ItNwas late when he reached home.
All day he had thought of Jane. Had
his appeal of the night before made
any difference?

he murmured, "I,ll be little differ

He had unhitched his team and en-
tered the barn with them. Although
it was fast growing dark, he saw that
there was q strange horse in the
stable.
"Afust be company" Amos went on
to himself, as he proceeded to light
the lantern which hung near. CT

He stood looking straight before
him, vainly trying to solve the prob

her eyes with her hand, gazed out to
where two men were standing in the
shade of a great butternut tree.
81 rang the bell fifteen minutes
ago, and the potatoes will be spoiled.
Wonder what Tom Haslins wants.
Oh dear, how hot it is here! There,
Tom is going"
Z Mrs. Todd busted herself taking up
the long-delayed supper, while her
husband sauntered towards the house
in the leisurely way in which he usu-
ally did things. Amos Todd was a
heayily-built but erect man Of sixty.
He was bald, and the struggling
fringe of hair in his neck, his broad
face, and stubby beard were all the
same shade of faded red.
''What does Tom Haskins want ??''
Mrs. Todd asked when they were
seated at the table. !
z Her husband waited even a little
longer than usual before replying.
At last he said. his voice somewhat
husky because of the pork and po-
tatoes with which his mouth was
filled. "
ME and Tom was talkin' bout that
air black horse of hisen, Eagle.'
Mrs. Todd laid down her three
tined steel fork, her hand trembling
violently. "Now, father, you surely
are not going to buy that horse"
Course hain't. But it's jest be-

Todd said, little tartly.
"Humph! Some folks think they

a beauty, and if I had the money I'd
buy him tomorrow. His skin shines
as if it was black satin, and he car

so there's no use talkin' bout it. 1

Mrs. Todd leaned back in her chair,
too warm and tired for the food be-
fore her. She knew her husbands love
for horses only too well. To it could
be traced many economies and priva-

ASKS $4,000 FOR THREE KISSES
Wisconsin Woman Alleges She Was
Huuned Against Her Will

Baraboo, Wis, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. Sarah
Staten, of Sank county, wants $4,000
for three kisses. She appeared before
Judge Kelsey here yesterday and gave
her deposition, alleging that David d.
James, of Richland Center, Rugged and
kissed her three times against her will.
The trial will take place in Richland
County Circuit Court in April.
James is well to do and is known all
over Wisconsin, having served last
year as department commander of the
IG a. r. He owns a farm in Sank
county, upon which Mr.. and Mrs. Sta
ten live and work. James frequently
visited the farm, and it was on one of
these visits that Mrs. Staten alleges

1t case of blackmail. He was pres
ent with his lawyer Frank Durham,
during the taking of Mrs. Staten's
deposition. Mrs. Staten is AZ and
James 5s years of age.

To Claim Rice Was Not Killed.

New York. Feb. 2s-Robert NJ.
Moore one of the lawyers defending
Albert Patrick, on trial for the murder
of William Nj. Rice, finished his cross
examination of Charles +. Jones, the
principal witness for the prosecution.
The one thing clearly indicated today
was that the defense Will be in part
that Rice was not murdered at all
Notwithstanding Jones confession that
he killed him with chlorotorm at thu
instigation of Patrick.
In his direct examination Jones said:
Mr.. Rice was asleep when l went tn
dinner. He was still sleeping when
came back and put the chloroform over
his face"
WAS he still lying in the same posi-
ton when you got back from dinner"
asked Mr.. Moore. Yes" said Jones.
Was he alive or dead when you got
back?' He was apparently asleep.
Are you sure that he was alivo
when you put the chloroform on his
face"
NO. 1 am not sure" was the an.
swer.
The defense will try to snow later on
by the testimony of medical experts
that Mr.. Rice died natural death.

Malcolm Smith, of Cedar Rapids, an
expert bookkeeper who has been em-
ployed in this city for about month
Treasurer David Hoplxirk and ex-
Sherifl g. +. Black, has completed his
work and made his report to the board
of supervisors. 1t appears elsewhere
in today's Ledger. MIR. Hopkirk held
the treasurer's Office for four years.
In that time he handled funds amount
ing to $595,2S412. The expert checked
every item receipts with registers,
cash books with ledgers, and found
only thirteen errors. He says he never
found so few mistakes IN a like num-
be- of entries. He finds the county
indebted TO Mr.. HoplSirk to the am
cunt of S54.27, and settlement has been
made with him on that basis. Up to
the closing day of MIR. Hopldrl's adj
ministratfon the difference between
his books and the figures of the expert
was only sixty cents, against the
county, but an error was made on the
last day of the transfer of the Office TO
the new treasurer, which increased
the amount to the figures noted above.
w nile the result VI lhl. soiilli . iilNSss-
tigation is not much different from
what was expected, it would not have
been at all surprising if a greater num-
Der of mistakes, involving larger
amount of money, might have been
discovered in the receipt and disburse-
ment of nearly 100000. The report
must be most gratifying TO Mr.. Hop
kirk and his friends.
The investigation of the sheriffs Of
flee covered period of six years. Mr..
Smith made the same thoro eSamina-
ton here that he did in the treasurei's
office, and he declares that the report
heretofore made by Sheriff Black is
correct. The amount involved in this
account is nearly $4,000.
