but the panther had vanished in the
deep shadows Of the swamp.
On investigating the pulpit and room
discovered signs which showed the
panther had made a den of the old
church for long time, and the swal-
low-nest pulpit up on the wall, where
once the Huguenot minister had stood,
now served her for bed.
The belated cotton-boat picked me
up that morning, and as the captain
bound up my clawed arm, he told me
that more than once he had heard the

CHAPTER XXI.
Thus Redcuss was vegetarian, likc
Bernard Shaw, but not yet, like Shaw,
a socialist. Potentially he was So
cialist, like all men who are down
trod or whose lungs have inhaled the
stockyards smell. He believed in gov
| eminent ownership of breweries, mis-
sion furniture works, and other things.
He believed that all the money in the
world should be divided equally. But
he lacked expression. He felt, blu.
could not speak, and If you have no
Technology, no jargon, you are no
kind of a socialist A dumb socialist
is contradiction in terms.
CHAPTER XIII.
Came one day the awakening. A fe.-
low-workman lent Redcuss Jack Lon
don's War of the Classes" He read
and his brain took fire. They gave
him the complete works of Upton Sin
clair and English Walling's Musings
of Revolutionist" He subscribed foc
socialist weekly, and one eventful
night he attended a monster mass
meeting of socialists at the Coliseum.
1t was mobilization of the Army OF
the Revolution. The great hall was
red and riotous with the glorious BAN
ners of our faith. Redcuss was drunk
with excitement. They pointed out %
him the leaders sitting on the stage
Jack London, Gen. Upton Sinclair,
Gen. Phelps Stokes, Gen. Robert Hun
ter, and 40 other generals.
But hush! bark! General Sinclair
speaks!
CHAPTER LAST.
And now" cried General Sinclair,
now begins the rush that will neve-
be checked, the tide that will never
turn till 1t has reached its f1ood-the
rallying of the outraged workingme1
of Chicago to our standard! We shall
organize them! We shall drill them!
We shall marshall them for the vic
tory! We shall bear down the oppos-
ton, we shall sweep it before us! Chi
cago will be ours! Chicago will be
ours! CHICAGO Will BE OURS!!w
A wild roar arose as the army took
up the slogan. Screaming 1t, Redcuss
rushed out into Wabash avenue and
hurled himself, with flank movement.

Then from beneath the huge paws the
moon glinted on the dark steel barrel.
But my fingers closed about the
handle of my hurting knife. and as she
twitched and swayed f6f the spring. /
felt that my chances were worth the
trial. Every muscle In the sinewy
body suddenly grew tense. Her head
dropped till 1t just cleared the floor.
There was O CULVER through the long.
lean frame, a scream-and then an
answering scream; such yell as that
cat never heard before. I uttered 1t so
Unexpectedly, SO frightfully, that the
beast was startled in her leap, and
went of an instant sooner than she
intended, with such a twist that She
rose high in the air and swerved In
her aim, landing across the back OF the
bench instead OF upon me. She made
a vicious grab at me tn passing, but 1t
fell short, and as she struck the back
of the bench her weight and the vs-
locity Of her spring overturned it with
a crash, and I came down on the floor.

and the seat, as though under an up
turned trough.
Her lightning swiftness had saved
me. As the bench turned she sprang
away, else she might have caught me
as 1t turned and dragged me with her
to the floor. Before l knew exactly
what had happened she bounded back
upon the bench. growing and clawing
on my wooden shell as she might have
clawed a huge turtle. The solid ends
Of the bench prevented her getting at
my feet or head but at the same in
slant, 1t seemed, we discovered large
crack between the edge of the seat
and the floor. The panther pushed her
bare yellow teeth under, close to my
face. greeted her with another yell
that set her back upon her launches.
Again she threw herself upon the
bench, and like a flash thrust a paw
beneath and buried the claws In my
arm. In a moment would have been
dragged from my shell; but I was
watching for that paw, and met 1t with
my knife. l must have driven the
blade nearly through It, for with
yelp Of pain and fright she leaped
away.
Again and again she made at me,
and struck at the crack, but could not
bring herself to risk another paw be-
meath. In trying to get my wounded
arm from under me l moved the bench.

every move she backed further on,
splitting and snarling, until heard her
leap past the end, run along the wall

turf outside, then all was still.

Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure
(Cyc) vol. 6, page 1879; and authori-
ties there mentioned.
While this Indictment, in the respects
mentioned is in truth inartistically
drawn, yet under the statutes and the
authorities above stated. we cannot
say that it is fatally defective. The
sections of the statute above quoted
show that the legislative intent was
that the courts OF the State should
give interpretations liberal to sustain
rather than rigid to overthrow indie
ments when, as in this case substan-
tial rights Of defendants are not there
by prejudiccd: and as we have from
the authority mentioned seen that
even under the common law 10 over
throw this Indictment would seem too
rigid an Interpretation.
Under the second head the error
claimed is stated in the brief Of COun-
sci for defendant as follows:
On the trial of appellant the de
position of one Ross, taken at the pre-
hmnaTy examination was read III
evidence, because he broke Jail and
escaped before the trial and his pres
ence could not be procured.
He testified that he and appellant
entered the store of Alexander Burreil
on the day named in the Indictment
stole LOT Of amalgam Of the value
OF about $4,000. and buried it a short
distance from the scene of the crime
Appellant claims there was no tasti-
mOny cOrrOOoratiye Of that OF Ross.
and that a conviction could not be
had"
In this contention Counsel is. We
think, clearly mistaken. Besides
minor points of corOboratiOn. not nee
essary to be mentioned here. the tes-
timony Of the witness W. J. Davidson
cOrrObCrates the testimony of the &C
compIice Ross. Davidson testifes that
the defendant requested him David
SOM to help him rob the store at
! Edgemont'. that is the store that was
| robbed Davidson further testifi IS
| that the defendant told him he would
| have got the amalgam if something
( had not happened amalgam was
! the article stolen in the robbery.
| Davidson further testifes that the de
| PENDANT was trying to dispose Of the
/ amalgam. the thing stolen: and ask
ed Davidson this question: What
am | going to do about that damned
| stuff"
If this testimony was true, and it
| truth was a question entirely tor the
jury, there was confederation of the
! testimony of the accomplice Ross.
| Defendant fails in sustaining either
| of his two points urged in argument
| for the reversal of the judgment.
The judgment is therefore affirmed
