CHAPTER XVIII.
BARRELS DOUBLE.

"A bomb, suddenly exploded in the
midst of those in the Office, could not
have caused greater CONSERVATION than
the furious words of Murgatroyd. The
Ease had been proved against Murga-
troyd, then shifted to McCloud, and
now McCloud was said to be Darrell
and Darrell was known to be inno-
cent.
Merrick, as soon as he had recovered
himself a little, gave vent to hollow
groan. Lenyard stared at Darrell like
one in a trance.
Gentlemen" said Darrell, who was
the first to speak, ''if Mr.. Merrick will
put the irons on Murgatroyd, we will
make him prove what he says"
Merrick would not leave barrels
side, but tossed the handouts to Glenn

he, iii stay right here until we can

Mebby Stursis wasn't killed at all; and
if he was, here's Doc and me left yet
I'm expecting some one to blow in and
prove that we did it."
In some trepidation, Jim Glenn
snapped the bracelets about his en-
ployer's wrists. Murgatroyd was then
seated near the light and N1errick
handed one of his revolvers to Len
yard.
Get close 10 him." said the mar
shall, land if he makes n move to bolt,

Like one in a dream Lenyard took
the revolver and placed himself at Muir
gatroyd's side. Murgatroyd was deep
ly rerpleXed. Darrell himself seemed
to be the only one in the Office who
had Kept his head.
You say I am Nate Darrell, Murga-
troyd." said he. "How can you prove
it?"
Hold up your left hand" said Muir
gatroyd. there, in the lights
Darrell did so.
Anyone who knows Darrell" went
on Murgatroyd.- will know that ring.
There isn't another like it il the
United States"
''It's-it's Darrel's ring" gasped Len
yard. Il saw it that night in Hawk
bills when Darrell played that game
for me-"
He took half-step towards Darrell,
his face bloodless and his eyes bright.
Watch your man. Leayard," said
the marshal grufiy.
Keep back, Roy" said DR.. Payton-
This man may be McCloud, after all.
The testimony of the ring is not suffi-
Gent 1t may have been stolen"
Then" said Darrell calmly, "Iet me

tent of SAYING the ring was not stolen.
1t is, perhaps, the only ring of its kind
in the United States, and it has not
been out Of my possession during the
last six years.
Then you are Nate DARRELL" asked
Lenyard huskny-
Yes"

another tack.

This from the doctor, with hard

his clerk
Glenn raised a trembling hand to his
forehead and began to whimper out an
excuse.

you know it's false. Sturgis was a
friend of mine-why, he dealt faro for

Lenyard caught Glenn's eye and
nodded towards the hall. The gesture
was understood and the clerk left the
room with alacrity.

Darrell did not shoot Sturgis.''
"And if you can prove this mans
story" put in the doctor. nodding at
Darrell, you make it plain that he is

Lenyard briefly.

The marshal, too far gone for words

Darrel's amazement equaled the mar
shals and the Doctors. So firm was
ms belief in Murgatroyd's guilt that
he had heretofore left McCioud entirely
out Of his calculations.
Before Lenyard could follow up his
startling announcement with an ex-
PLANTATION, the sallow-faced clerk
pushed into the room, paused, and
looked around him, aghast at the dis
order
'Where's-where's Murgatroyd?" he
asked.

clerk and whispered to him.

Darrell was just asking himself how he

ST. MARTINv1LLE, La, NOVEMBER 10, 1906.
Judge Claw Elliot of Amite CITY,

Judge Clay Elliot of Amite City,
is another Judge who wants to
cure the violators of the law, last
Saturday he imposed upon Sim
Anderson of fine of $500, casts and
thirty days Jail and in default of
payment of the $500 fine, ten
months more in Jail, for retailing
liquor without a license. Such
sentences alone will break up these
repeated violations of the law.
We believe if Judge Simon
would charge his grand jury con-
cerning the Sunday law violations
and give the necessary instructions
to the Sheriff and his deputies and
impose a little heavier sentence
and few months of Jail attached
to said sentence, these repeated
violations would surely cease.
1t is continually rumored that
while some of the liquor dealers
respect the law and close their
establishments others never close
the back doors, and this we under
stand exist all over this parish.
We are of opinion that the Judge
can easily stop these violations,
let him impose Jail sentence in
only one case, and we are certain
that we will hear no more Sunday
law violations.

one always does when there Is a new
invention Or discovery, of the automo'

burden of Nineveh. In the account

Nineveh, the mistress of witchcrafts,
when the people in the midst of her

remarkable verse: THE chariots shall
rage in the streets, they shall jostle
one against another in the broad ways
they shall run like lightnings." A vari
ant of the word "jostle," which the
original Hebrew will, it is said, equally
we'll or better bear, is pass swiftly
without particular purpose, to and
fro" a rendering which brings the cars
of the Hebrew prophet into. perhaps,
still closer connection with the motor
cars Of the present day.
