wear FSSNNiiicy I'd
Scranton, Pa, Oct 4.-By an ex-
plosion in the corning mill of the Du-
pont-DeNamours Powder company's
plant, near Peckville, Richard Hasney.
OF Jessup, and Walter Ellsworth, OF
ELEPHANT, met instant death
The explosion was plainly heard in
ELEPHANT and Peckville. The roof and
sides Of the building were blown away.
and what remained of the mill took
fire. The employees of the other mills
nearby were soon on hand with fire
apparatus and had the flames under
control in short time. The bodies of
the unfortunate men were found
among the ruins In horribly mangled
and burned condition.
Undertaken Kinbach took charge of
the bodies. This is the fifth time these
mills have blown up in a period of 90
years, and four times within the last
four years, always with fatal results.

A Just Decision.

"A case decided III the QlSlIlCl
court of this county is of far reach
ing Importance and effect. Char
lie Willard and Jack Dryer, two
old and respected citizens of this
county, had been indicted
for Strengthening neat and
horned cattle for sale without
paying a license therefor. The
defendant demanded d jury trial
of the case. The charge being
a misdemeanor, it was not neces-
sary that the defendant be pres
ent, but Charlie Willard was on
hand and Dwyer was represented
by his attorneys
A jury was empanneled to try
the case. The district attorney
introduced his evidence. Two
witnesses were sworn and testi-
fed that Willard and Dwyer had
killed of their own raising sever
al veal; that the defendants
were not in the butcher business,
but in the dairy business and
that all the neat ana horned
cattle that the defendant slaugh-
tered were Of their own product.
The attorneys for the defend
ants made the point of law that
a raiser Of cattle could sell his
own product without paying a
license. In other words, it seems
from the argument presented and
the decision of the court thereon,
that it IS necessary that the
party, before he would be requir-
ed to pay a license, must be en-
gagged in carrying ON the BUSH
ness of butchering."
Judge Sloan, under the eviden-
&c in the case, instructed the
jury to bring in verdict for the
defendants, which the jury did
from the jury box.

the fires were not much noisier.
Rothgar's face gathered gravity as
he gained the crest of the last hill
that lay between him and the strag-
Cling encampment.

on their cheer as on their fires," he
commented. "They hug the earth like

"And look about as much like war

But the son of Lodbrok was already
leading his men down the hillside to-
ward the point where the silken ban
ner Knocked at wattled walls.
Under the matched roof of the hut
still more striking contrast awaited
the eyes of those who entered. With
a milking-stool for his table and the
shepherds rude bunk for throne, the
young King of the Danes was bending
in scowling meditation over an open
scroll. At the sight Of him the girls
heart started and shook like a harp
string under the touch Of the master;
and Rothgar, the stolid, the stern, who
had come to upbraid, bowed reverently
as he grasped the hand his leader
stretched out.
"King, l would not have, kept away

to believe that you are as glad to re-
turn to me as l am glad to receive

AS she stood there watching him,
Randalin had been undergoing a
strange transformation. For four
months she had almost forgotten his
existence, he had been little more than
an empty name. while she gave every
energy Of mind and heart to the
things about her. But now, behold!
One sight of his life-full face, one
moment of his dominating presence,
and those months were swept into the
land Of dreams. His deeds alone ap-
peared vital; he alone seemed real.
She, the Etheling himself, were but
as shadows depending upon his sun

shire upon them, what dark evil
