IN hoard man-of-war to San
Francisco from China, was young
midshipman named Walters. He was
a fayorite with the officers, and had
in him the talent for making a fine
officer. The midshipmen on board
stood their watches forward, ana
every hour it was their duty to come
aft and write up the weather columns
of the ships log, showing the read
ings of the barometer and thermome
ter, and to heave the ships log to
ascertain her speed.
The captain, in company with the
officer of the deck, was walking the
weather side of the deck conversing
when Midshipman Walters came aft
to write up the log. The barometer,
a mercurial one, was hung in the
captains cabin, and Walters, after
having read it, helped himself liber-
ally to the captains sherry on the
cabin sideboard. In walking the
deck the captain happened to glance
down the cabin skylight and saw the

PUSHING KID"
STARK TO JUSTICE
iOriginal.1

iOriginal.l
"Kid' Stark was twenty-five, his
wife forty, when they bought the Peach
Orchard farm. The wife had money.
Mrs. Stark seemed to have something
of rowing disposition, while her hus-
band was as fond of quiet as an old
man. She would go away, remaining
absent sometimes for a few weeks,
sometimes few n,hs. She had a
head for business and the faculty of
keeping her affairs to herself When
she returned it was noticed at the
bank where she kept an account that
she usually had money to deposit.
One evening af:er dark Stark drove
his wife to the station. and when he
returned several men who had called
at the farm to win his vote for Il COM
ing election reported that he was very
much depressed. Indeed they found
it impossible to get his attention to the
matter about which they had called.
When four months passed and Mrs
Stark did not return the wagging
tongues started in for clatter, which
grew louder and louder, then subsidized
into mysterious whisperings. A year
passed and no return of the Wanderer.
Two years after Mrs. Stark's depar
turc Stark, who had not touched any
money deposited in his wife's name,
presented a check bearing her sigma
ture for 81 1000. But the bank Off
cials, who had long been suspicious
that he had murdered his wife and be-
lieved that lie would not be satisfied
till he had appropriated all her funds,
scrutiniZcd the check and pronounced
it forgery. Stark was arrested for
the crime. Since there was no evidence
of murder. that charge could not be
added
When it came to trial an expert pro
nounced Mrs. Stark's signature a for
gerry. The body of the check was in
Stark's handwriting. The expert Oh
cross examination explained to tie
court that there were certain letters in
the signature which were made very
differently by Stark and his wife. the
expert stating that Stark in trying to
change the mode of making these let
ters had made lamentable failure.
Stark was convicted and, since every
body believed that he had killed his
Wife, the judge gave him sentence of
twenty years imprisonment.
There We're many people in Brown
ville-those of the wagging tongues
who were very much chagrined that
Stark was not prosecuted for murder.
These persons could not understand
why when all the correlative circllm-
stances pointed to murder still there
was not tangible evidence necessary
for conviction. They bounded the
prosecuting attorney till he went to
work with will, secured the deposi-
tions Of the men who had seen Stark on
the evening Of his wife's departure,
found some garments belonging to Mrs.

Stark buried on the place and on this
framed thcofy for prosecution, and
had Stark taken from jail TO be tricd
for murder.
BY this time it was plain to every
one not only that Stark had murdered
his wife, but that there was very good
evidence at hand to prove it, There
were people who had been as obstinate
with regard to Stark $ innocence as the
wagging tongues had been in maintall-
ing his guilt. These people now gave
up in the face of the evidence and long
before the trial public opinion had pro
nounced him guilty. Everything con
spired to bring him to justice. He had
been convicted of forging his wifes
name to get her money. the circum stan
