The buzz in the room ceased, and all
eyes looked at the tawny old nobleman,
his features working with wrath. Hen
ry's fingers were tight closed, and
Anne's white teeth bit her under lip till
a spot of blood came upon 1T.
All in that room knew the old man.
Many loved him. Not few held lease
upon his land. He was one OF the last
brave barons who bore, his name, for
the most part, whether crusaders or
poets, men gentle, reckless and mindful
Of God-men who lived cleanly lives
and died commencing their souls to
Jesus and bequeathing torches and
sheep for their funerals. He was n
man every inch of him! He blamed the
kings ministers, but he loved the king.

rose angrily, but others, of the lower
sort scenting what was coming, slyly
winked and smiled behind their palms.

A Communication.

Mr.. EDITOR: The newspapers
are constantly deploying the law
lessness in this country. They
seem to dwell only OH the taking
of human life, losing sight of the
fact that appetite grows by what
it feeds upon" and that the
greater crimes are only the result
of the early spirit Of lawlessness
being allowed full swing.
Now, Mr.. Editor, public senti-
ment is what makes laws effect
i've, and public sentiment should
frown on every kind of legal
transgression. We have laws OH
Our statute books today which are
entirely disregarded, our people
are unwilling that they be re-
pealed, yet no one seems to think
any the less of the transgressor.
One of the especial matters
that has been brought to my at
tention is that of trespass. The
law provides that the landowner
may advertise his premises and
forbid any person going on same
when such is done then the
person who goes upon same with
out permission is law breaker;
because they do SO openly and de-
family does not make them less
so. The land owner may not re-
sort to the law, because they and
their friends are probably his
friends, but does that warrant a
person i'll taking advantage of
such relationship and breaking
the law? Do they for one mo-
ment suppose that person is go
ing to pay your paper for all adj:
vertisement just to see his name
in the paper? Do they think they
are so much cit" that you can't
mean them?
Now, Mr.. Editor. very few peo-
pie are entirely blameless, but
young boys especially are very
presuining in such matters, and
persons who hunt are not always
exempt.

NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN'S

Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of

was G; amberlain's Cough Remedy,

Hardin had been shot, apparently

some spectacle was disclosed. Lying
on the bed in the sleeping-room was

The two men occupied the house
alone and 1t is not known what led to
the killing.
