even in the islands where the towns
are far apart the smallest village

not have some kind of school, says
writer in the Buffalo Times.

And think your eyes, your blue eyes,

In your happy, happy youth;
To have looked deep in your blue eyes

Judge Had Directed the Twelve 10 Find
That She Was Not Guilty OF Misconduct
with Rickard and II Did and Then
Threw In an opinion to the Contrary.
A conflict OF opinion, resulting In the
prompt setting aside OF a verdict, occurred
yesterday between Supreme Court Justice
Scott and the jury which, with him, had
listened to the trial OF Grace Townsend
Mowbrsy for separation from Samuel H .
Mowbray. Mrs. Mowbray Is daughter Of
William Townsend.
Mowbray replied to his wife's allegations
OF cruelty and desertion with counter suit
for divorce on the ground that she had COM
mitted adultery with Arthur Richard at
her home on Jan. 8, 1904, while Mowbray
was hiding under bed. But no evidence
was adduced at the trial to corroborate
such a charge, 30 Justice Scott, after the
summing up, directed the jury to answer
"No" to this question::
"Did Grace Townsend Mowbray commit
adultery with Arthur Richard on Jan. o.
1904, at her home, or at any other time or
placer"
Some other questions Of like nature
were similarly answered by direction OF
the Court. Justice Scott also directed the
jury to answer Yes to this question
did the defendant on or about Jan q,
1904, abandon the plaintiff and expel her
from his home. and has he since failed to
return to herr"
There remained one question to be an
swered by the jury, which had obeyed the
Courts direction so far, and Justice Scott
ordered them to return and bring in an
answer on their own hook to the query:
Was the plaintiff Mrs. Mowbrayl guilty
OF misconduct which justified the defend
ant in abandoning her and refusing and
to pnsSids n for ths seI rv room
known to none save the twelve But it
was remembered afterward that Mowbray
had testified that he had seen Mrs Now
bray sitting on Arthur Richards lap kiss
ing him, whereupon Mowbray crawled out
from under the bed and chased Richard
out of the house, hatless and coatless.
The majority Of the jury. it was also re-
men, who seemed shocked at such testi-
mony though both Mrs. Mowbray and
Richard denied its truth.
At any rate when the jury filed back into
court the foreman had written Yes" under
the last question, and the twelve good men

Justice Scott looked astonshed, and had
the answer handed to him 10 that he might
see it for himself. Then, on the motion of
Mrs. Mowbray's lawyer, he set the answer
aside and ordered a new trial Of the whole
action on Oct. "a.

speech artificial. There are no

as racy and idiomatic as the talk

just tang Of the Old English

The Lady of the story is loyal to

is as witty as she is plucky, and
the story, which is stirring ro-
nance of love and action, sparkles
