Both hills were coated with ice, and it is believed that the ac- eident was due to the fact that the icy covering of the hills made it impossible for the steerers to guide the sleds.
 Down these inclines, at speeds which increased with the descent, the big sleds dashed towards each other, Poole at the steering gear of one and White guiding the other. Both men lost con trol of their sleds and the two smashed together with an impact which shatter- .ed the foreparts of the sleds and scat tered the riders about eighteen in num- Der, all over the street, Those only slightly bruised at once picked them selves up and turned their attention to their less fortunate companions.

case.
1t was agreed that this perhaps was wise
but II was pointed out that he might at
least have tried to free his friend. There
were some steps that might have been
taken that he entirely ignored
The first day of the trial was devoted to
review of the case by the prosecution
1t was shown that there had been a mis-
understanding between the two men. and
that Mr.. Crostic had declared that he would
never give his consent TO Melden's mar
rlage with his daughter. There was evil
dence that Melden's whereabouts on the
night OF the murder were not known. and
the proprietor of the resort where New
had said he had been robbed and assaulted
brought half a dozen employees and habit
tues to show that Ned had not been there
The case looked very black when Shell
don rose to address the court. He admit
ted.that there was no evidence with which

rogate DIR. Lane on other Matters
Lane had figured so prominently as one
of the expert witnesses that il had been
supposed that of course Sheldon had called
him to the stand to controyert his own tes-
timony. The first question fell upon the
ears OF the spectators as a shock.

Hannah came In and motiOned him out.
With the promise that he would be in lat

room. At the gate he paused for a moment
undecided then he turned up the street and
presently sat in consultation with the
lawyer who had handled the case.

that only a jury OF HIS friends would have

strong against Ned that they had to bring

Was it It only the finger prints?' asked
Sheldon.
Twining shook his head
That's the worst part of it, he went
on. 1T seems that the old man had OBJ
jected to something he had heard about
Ned having frequented some place in town
that had a bad reputation. Ned went off
declaring he would prove by the people
who kept that place that he was not known
there.
He did not return. and explained that
he had been assaulted and robbed and that
he knew nothing until he found himself
along the docks the next morning. He
cannot remember where he was. and there
was no chance of establishing alibi.

Nature VS.. Art.


FROM lit Bits.
Gentlemen Numbered the energetic lee
turer, we live IN pessimistic times. Our
leading politicians, our pulpit orators, our
great philosophers. our poets and, worst
of all, our novelists, delight to picture life
as a hideous nightmare a crooked dream. a
thing not worth the misery expended in en-
during, low scramble for human suprem-
acy, or as an ignoble failure at best. And
gentlemen, are they right? Is 1t, indeed
so? Are we really sinking In the scale of
civilization? Nature is nature and we are
her children; nature is good and wise and
beautiful and true; nature ennohIes us and
makes us free from guile and deceitr'

Comment
Trick Leader opens his long suit, fourth
best.
Trick 2-Dealer having two suits of equal
length and strength, plays for the one
shown on the table Both suits require a
double fnesse to establish them.
Trick 3-Pone knows by the eleven rule
that his partner holds queen and jack of
spades and one round will clear the suit.
Always return the higher of the two. Deal
er holds up in order TO exhaust Pone of his
partners suit.
Trick Dummy leads hearts, wanting
diamonds to come the other way in order to
flnesse. Dealer takes no finesse, which
might put the hand with the established
suit in the lead.
Trick Dummy illnesses, hoping to find
the king at his right If Pone holds 1t he
will be obliged to lead either hearts or
clubs as he holds no more of his partners
suit.
Trick T-Pone sees he will have three dis
cards. If he discards two clubs he will then
have to discard from his heart suit 1t is
better to discard all of one suit and trust
his partner to guard the hearts.
TREK S-Dealer will be obliged to discard
one club either now or later; he discards
1t now to conceal his strength and make
his adversaries think he will play for
hearts.
Trick 9-East must keep a guard on his
queen of hearts and. as dealer may finesse
the jack of clubs. he must keep his queen.
Trick 11-Pone reads his partner with the
queen of spades and either the qusen of
hearts or two clubs so 1t Is useless for him
to cover dummy's Jack. Dealer must take
no finesse. as East has two good cards.

who reached Los Angeles among the
refugees. 'No heap of smoking ruins

dwelt in thousands. The place is pit

dark passageways, from whose depths
comes smoke.
"While men never knew the depth
of the underground city," says Mr..
Overton, they often talked of the
subterranean runways. And many of
them had gone beneath the street lev
els two and three stories. But now
that Chinatown has been unmaskcd,
for the destroyed buildings were only
a mask, men from the hillside have
looked on where its inner sections lay.
In places they can see passages 100
feet deep.

touched their sides.
