 The report calls G. A. Ritch. an efh- cient Sheriff. It says that his books were neatly and correctly kept. It was found that the Sheriff had made two cler- ical errors amounting to $1.2O in his feed bills. The small amount was paid as soon as Sheriff Ritch's attention was call ed to it.
 Tax Collector N. H. Fraser. the re- port says, was charged with the collec- which was collected and paid into the report that MT. Fraser is a very capable and efficient officer.
 The reports state that some errors were found in the books of Tax Collector w A. Owen, although the books were fairly well kept. The errors were in his addi- ton and were discovered before the Judge of Probate made his annual abstracts. The Examiner said that Tax Collector Owen has substantially compiled with all the statutes.

Musolino. the Italian brlgand, ;he
story of whose long defiance of the
entire forces of the government and
the police authorities has been fol
lowed in the dispatches, is still rivetinS
the attention of all his countrymen
His trial, which began at Lucca
recently, is assuming character
which at one time is sensational and
at another ridiculous. 1t is always
| theatrical. Every newspaper in Italy
prints long reports of the trial and the
papers have enormous sale. The eX-
| element extends from the royal court
| to the lowest cottage.
There is an almost universal belief
that Musolino will not have to wait to
| be condemned, but will escape through
| the connivance of sympathizers. The
| fact that it is known that he made
| thirteen attempts to commit murd ar,
most of which were successful, does
not excite any horror among the peo-
| pie. He declares in impassioned
rhetoric that he has exercised the
sacred right of avenging himself on
his enemies. The public shows a SEN
timental sympathy with this view
and rather pities the possible fate CT
the Jury which will have to condemn
him
Musolino's vanity, which is his chief
characteristic, has been fully satisfied
by ali the happenings at Lucca Dis
tinguished men in large numbers have
come there to visit him. The poet
dramatist D'AnnunZiO, the poet
Pascoli and the famous psychologist
LOmbroso all seem to have been fas-
cinated by this picturesque ruff1an
D'AnnunziO is writing a novel and
preparing a play of which Musolino is
to be the hero. and Pascoli is publish
ing verses by the ream singing his
praises, and has written an open letter
in which he declare that the brigand
is the victim of injustice and fate, and
pays homage to his sovereign inteIli-
2ence"
LOmbrOso was consulted in regard
t. the mental condition of the brigand,
and declared that he was perfectly
sane. He added:
He is a most exceptional man. If
properly brought up. he would, l am
certain. have become a glory to Italy.
His intelligence, perspicacity ana
eloquence are indeed extraordinary.
He possesses in the highest degree all
the qualities Ct a great orator and a
great man, and yet he is merely
hrigand. it is a truly fascinating
case"
In the trial III the court at Lucca,
MusolinO bears himself as the master
of the occasion. The judge, the jury,
the carabineers. the lawyers and
journalists bow down to him and &C.
cept his caprices with the greatest
readiness. At first he refused to
speak; now he constantly interrupts
and is Immediately listened to IN
death-like silence, and his remarks are
followed with thunderOus applause
and sometimes my historical weeping.

CHAPTER VII,
Father and Child.

The brave girl struggled furiously
to loosen the terrible grip on her
throat. Then everything grew black,
and she sank limp to the ground.
Dead" gasped Loucks, leaning
over the motionless body.
For a moment he stood irresOlute.
Then he heard the distant sound of
footsteps approaching on the run.

Snatching up a short coil of rope,
he made it fast about Ora's body and
secured the other end to a heavy, If
regular stone.
The running feet were nearer now.
Putting forth his whole strength,
Loucks gathered up girl, rope and
stone and staggered with them up the
perilous track leading to the summit
of the aqueduct.
The ascent taxed all his herculean
muscle, but he toiled on unflinchingly.
AS he neared the summit the girl
stirred uneasily and opened her eyes.
The same instant Bob Blessing,
spent with running, appeared at the
powder house clearing.
He had hurried across from the toll
gate after Ora. had missed his path.
and now arrived to find the spot de-
serted.
why, where can the men be-" he
wondered, land where is Ora?'
a. distant cheer told him the men
were returning. with Bard, to get their
pay.
A piercing scream answered his
second question.
Looking up he saw something that
turned him deathly pale with horror.
There, on the summit of the aque
duct, over the rushing river, stood Bill
Loucks, holding the struggling CIR
aloft.
In that brief instant Bob took in
every detail-the deadly peril, the
rope and stone, Loucks' demoniat
laugh.
Then with one bound Bob was
swarming up the aqueduct path.
Seeing him coming, Loucks whirlet
the girl on high and hurled her int
the river below.
Scarce had he done so when Boil
