''Er, ah-h-h!" yawned the Judge, sud
denly sitting up. "Journ court, Mr..
Clerk! We will set tomorrow morn
in at the same place. at nine o'clock.
Who is in charge of this prisoner? :?

"All right. Judge" said Curly quiet

1t was three O'Clock of the after

had adjourned the district court

the night. The real court, as he ad-

session that night at the Cottage bar
and perhaps 1t might not adjourn until

CHAPTER xxI.-continued.

There must be some motive shown
for the supposition of such an act as
murder. What motive can be shown
here? Certainly not that of robbery.
The horse of the missing man came
back alone. its lariat dragging, as we
snail prove. 1t had not been ridden
since the lariat was broken. You all
Know, as we shall prove, that this man
Juan was never known to ride horse.
we shall prove that he walked sixty
miles, to the very spot where the
horse had been tied, and that he
scorned to touch horse on his whole
Journey He wanted no horse. He
stole no horse. That was no motive.
TO be subject to the law, as you
very well know, a man must be NOR
ally responsible. He must know right
and wrong. | shall show to you that
when this man was a child he was
struck severe blow upon the head
and that since that time he has never
been of sound mind, his brain never
recovering from that shock, a blow
which actually broke in a portion of
his skull. Since that time he has
had recurrent times of violent insan-
ity, with alternating spells of what
seems semi-idiocy. This mans
mind never grew. In some ways his
animal senses are keen to a remark
able degree, but of reason he has
little or none. He can not tell you
why he does thus or so. This shall
prove to you.
IL ask you. gentlemen of the Jury.
you who hold this mans life in your
hands, are you going to hang a man
for murder when 1t is not shown a
murder has been done? And would
you hang man who is more ignorant
than child of right or wrong? Is
that fair play? Gentlemen. we are all
here together, and one of us is as good
as another. Our ambitions are the
same. We stand here together for
the best interests of this growing
country-this country whose first
word has always has been fair play

Answer the question, Mr. Has

We'll, all right, Judge; I'll do it to

like a right smart fire. They was

Did you see anything in the
ashes?"
What business is 1t a. yourn?"
Now, now" said the court. you
must answer the questions, Mr.. Has
kins."
"All right, judge" said Curly. well,
I dunno hardly what we did see any
morn what l tole all the boys when
we first brought Juan in. l tole you
ALL"
Very we'll" said the prosecutor:
what did you see? Anything like q
mans figure?"
I'VE object!" said Franklin. but
Curly answered: We'll, yes. it did
look like feller a-layin' there. But
when we touched it"
Never mind. Did the prisoner see
this figure?"
Shore"
What did he do?"
well, he acted plumb loco. He get
down an hollers. 'Madre de Dios!' he
hollers. low he wuz plenty scared"
did he look scared?"
well, when we roped him he didn't
make no kick"
Never mind. He saw the figure in
the ashes?"
What do you know about it?-you
wasn't there"
mo, but l am going to make you
tell what was there"
You are, huh? Well. you crack yer
whip. I like to see any feller make
me tell anything l don't want to tell"

Mechanical Aids to Rapid Reading.

At the meeting of the French Acad-
emy of Sciences, held recently, M.
Andre Broca and NJ. Sulzer commu-
nicated paper on the subject Of rapid
reading. They showed that the diff
ferent letters of the alphabet are not
all apprehended with the same quick
ness. For instance. the time taken
to recognize an E is nearly one-third
longer than that taken to recognize a
T. They consider that the alphabet
is badly designed from physiological
point of view. 1t should be composed
of very simply designed letters as T
or l.. Rapidity of reading would thus
be increased and brain fag" would be
notably diminished. 1t would also be
better to have the letters printed in
white on black ground than the sys-
TEN which obtains at present The
time taken to recognize letter print
ed in black on a white ground was
nearly ten times longer than white on
a black ground.

IhA Verdict.

There came over the town OF Ellis
Vile that night an ominous quiet. But
few men appeared on the streets. No
was one subject to which no refer
ence was made.
Franklin finished his dinner. went
to his room and buckled on his revol-
ver smiling grimly as he did so at the
thought Of how intimately all law is
related to violence. and how relative
to its environment is all law. He went
to Battersleigh's room and knocked
entering at the loud invitation of that
friend.
"shure, Ned, me boy" said Batter
sleigh. we've yer side arms on this
evenin'. Ye give up the profession Of
arms with reluctance. Tell me. Ned.
what's the campaign fer the evenin'?"
"Well,' said Franklin, 81 thought I'd
step over and sit awhile with Curly
this evening. He may be feeling lit
tie lonesome"
Quite right ye are, me boy" said
Battersleigh cheerfully. Quite right.
An if ye don't mind I'll Just jine ye
It's lonesome l am meself the night"
Battersleigh busted himself about
his room, and soon appeared arrayed.
as was Franklin himself. with re-
volver at his belt.
"Shure, Ned, me boy" he said, "an
officer an a gintleman should nivver
appear abroad without his side arms.
At laste, methinks, not on night like

hand of the fearless old soldier with
out word. The two strolled out to-
gether down the street in the direc-
tion of the shanty where Curly was
keeping his prisoner"

CLEVER TRICK THAT WON.
Ambitious Youth Sold His Verses by a
Ruse.

Many years ago, writes Mr.. Thomas
Bailey Aldrich in "Ponkapog Papers,"
a noted Boston publisher used to keep
large memorandum book on table
in his private office. The volume al
ways lay open, and was in no manner
private affair, being the receptacle
of nothing more important than has
tily scrawled reminders to attend to
this thing or the other.
1t chanced one day that a very
young, unfledged author, passing
through the city. looked in upon the
publisher, who was also the editor OF a
copy of verses secreted about his
person. The publisher was absent and
young Milton sat down and waited.
Presently his eye fell upon the men,
orandum book. lying there spread out
like morning newspaper, and almost
in spite of himself he read. Don't for
get to see the binder" Don't forget
to mail E. his contract" Don't forget
HIS proofs" and so forth.
An inspiration seized upon the
youth. He took a pencil and at the
tail of this long list of don't forgets"
he wrote, Don't forget to accept AS
poem."
He left his manuscript on the table
and disappeared That afternoon when
the publisher glanced over his memor-
anda he was not a little astonished
at the last item; but his sense of hui
NOR was so strong that he did accept
the poem-it required strong sense
of humor to do that-and sent the lad
a check for it. although the verses re-
main to this day nprinted.-YoutL's

Very well. Now, what, II anything,

AS Franklin ceased and seated him
self the silence was again broken by
rising buzz of conversation. This
was proving really very interesting
