Colonel Mallory swears In his afnoaFi' for his arrest"
 "why, father exclaimed Irene surely you have forgotten that he saved my life"
 Colonel Mallory replied: Daughter, I do seriously regret this young man arrest. The affidavit was made neIors :, he had done us such signal service, and I promise you to do what l can to se- cure his release"
 Well" responded the high-spirited girl, "even his triumphant acquittal would be but poor recompense Tor such a cruel blow coming from people under deep obligations to him.. And crossing over to where July was stand ing. she lifted her head and said prVud- lv and clearly: T wish to assert be- fore you all my belief of his innocence, and to say that am proud to call him my friend, and my deliverer.
 For many days after this the image of the girl as she uttered this senti- ment was never absent from July's mind, and he mentally decided that he'd like to be arrested every day in the week, If he could obtain dupli- cate of the look she gave him when the words were spoken.
 Guinea Nigger Sam attended the trial. The fact is he was the principal witness examined. He swore that nc had carried the chain when the orig inal survey was made. He knew every land line along the river; knew where July Landing had cut trees, and all those trees stood in section seventeen Besides this. Sam asserted, with many quaint gestures, that Colonel Mallory's mill, dwelling and the hamlet contigu- ous thereto was located on section sev- enteen. The lawyer for the defense then introduced the patent for section seventeen, made out to July Landing and showed by cumulative testimony that all the trees GU: were on the lands described in the patent. This proof fell like a thunderbolt on Colonel Nal lory He almost staggered from the room. as the jury acquitted the de- fendant the Colonel remarking in a choking tone: If that proof Is true then am worse than q beggar, for all my property is on that young mans land, and I owe him forty thousand dollars for cutting his trees
 July quietly returned to his home and soon dropped into his old routine of listlessly wandering about and dreaming of Irene.
 More and more each day he despaired of the fruition of the hope within his breast, but as the time of the full moon drew near, he resolved as a last re- sort to try the SupernaturaI powers of Guinea Nigger Sam, in preparing some potent charm. philtre, or talisman that would bring his loved one. all un- resisting, to his manly arms.
 Landonia was interviewed, and that cheerful chocolate-colored damsel agreed to procure some article of per sonal adornment of her mistress, as Sam had pronounced this essential tc the success of the spell. Which prom ise she compiled with by furtively handing over to July yard of pink ribbon. rather the worse for year. as serting that the identical pink ribbor
