UNDER UNwRITTEN LAW.
Safeguards of Civilization Destroyed
 by Recent Rulings.

by Recent Rulings.
 American Medicine.
 The recent acquittal of Ludge Low ing Gin virginia) is of tremendous med ico-legal importance. and of vital in- terest not only to the general practi- tioner, but to the psychologist as well. It Is now legal precedent that all a murderer need establish for valid de- fense. is true or perjured testimony that he was told the victim had as- saulted or attempted to assault a mem- Der of the murderer's family. The prosecution is not permitted to prove that the testimony is perjury and that the tale was never told. It cannot even prove that, if 1t is true testimony. the tale as originally told to the mur- derer was false. It Is accepted that intense emotion aroused by the re- citaI of the true or fictitious wrong. unbalances the mind to such an extent that responsibility ceases. and that the emotion is too great to expect man to find out if the story is true. The safeguards of civilization are de- stfoyed, for no one Is now safe. Tn 1 wild communities, a newly made widow sometimes receives an apology from q llynching committee when they have made mistake. but the whole fabric of civilized law Is to make such mis- takes impossible. The very basis of | law and order is the fnvariable ruling that man is responsible for his acts | and if in hot blood he kills without | legal reason. he must suffer the pen aity, of Imprisonment to deter others from giving way to their passions. If | man is of such nervous organiza- tion that he is unable to restrain bis passions. he is unfit to be at large, for Inc is liable to kill many more.

MIR. BRYAN's POPULARITY.

Baltimore News.
 The fundamental reason of the per sistence of Mir. Bryan's popularity for his unique position in the party IS simply a reflection of his popularity lies, of course. in the circumstance that the, masses of the people have set It down as a fixed fact that he was their champion from the beginning, against the forces of plutocracy. In the face of a simple. clear conviction Of this kind. matters of detail count for very little. When his terrible indictments of the money power" and his dire por- trayals of the inevitable horrors of the gold standard were falsified by events, there was little or no falling off in the enthusiasm of his adherents In the course of time. indeed, an i'm pression disastrous to his prestige might have been made by the long pe- riod of prosperity which came to the country after his defeats. had 1t not been for two circumstances--the reve- Iation of the corruption and reckless ness that formed part of that debauch of prosperity, and the adoption by President Roosevelt of so large part of Mir. Bryan's program. Either of these things would have. gone a great way to sustain the reputation of the Nebraskan and give him renewed .hold on his following; the two togeth- CT sufficed to place him year or two ago. not only upon as good a footing as ever with those who had been his admirers, but on a distinctly better footing than ever with the more con servative clements of the community.

somebody took the liberty OF slashing
at my back in a poker-room at Glen

there was a scar on it. About IS

known to be near at the time ne was

dence was dug up, while Slavin and
one other-no, it was not you-gave
some damaging, manufactured te3ti-
mony against me. As a result I was
held guilty of murder in the second
degree, dismissed from the army in
disgrace, and sentenced to ten years
Imprisonment. So, you see, it was not

Murphy,-it was a scar"
Murphy's face was distorted into a
hideous grin.
Il notice you bear exactly that kind
of scar, my man, and you spoke last
night as if you had some recollection
of the case"
The hooking grin expanded; into
lHe nuShy voice Crept Snarl or de-
tiance, for now Murphy's courage had
come back-he was fronting flesh and
blood. "Oh. stop preachin'-an' shoot
an be damned ter ye,"
You do me a grave injustice, Muir
ply. Your slashing at me down in
Glencaid hasn't left so much as a
sting behind. It's completely blotted
out, forgotten. l haven't the slightest
desire to kill you, man; but do want
to clear my name of the stain of that
crime. | want you to tell the whole

eyes. En- whar-do We expect-me

representation, much loneliness OF
soul. To run this Murphy to cover
remained his final hope for retrieving
those dead, dark years. Ay, and there
was Nadia! Her future, scarcely less
than his own, hung trembling in the
balance. The sudden flashing of that
name into his brain was like an cleo
trio shock. He cursed his inactivity.
Great God! had he become a child
again, to tremble before imagined evil,
a mere hobgoblin Of the mind? He
had already wasted time enough; now
he must wiring from the lips of that
misshapen savage the last vestige Of
his secret.
He dressed for the road, for hard,
exacting service, buckling his loaded
cartridge belt outside his rough coat
and testing his revolvers with unusual
care. He spoke a few parting words
OF instruction to Mrs. Guffy and went
quietly out. Ten minutes later he was
in the saddle, galloping down the dusty
stage road toward Cheyenne.

You are perfectly right. You are

to the limit, and that limit is just
about reached. You unlimber before

The mocking, sardonic grin deserted
Murphy's features.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Haunting of a Crime

Murphy rested on his back in the
midst of thicket of willows, wide
awake, yet not quite ready to ford the
Fourche and plunge into the dense
shadows shrouding the northern shore
Crouched behind log, he had so far
yielded unto temptation as to light his
pipe.
Murphy had been amid just such
unpleasant environments many times
before, and the experience had grown
somewhat prosaic. Even Indian-scout-
ing degenerates into a commonplace
at last. So Murphy pulled contentedly
at his old pipe.
But suddenly there was the faint
crackle of q branch to his left, and
one hand instantly closed over his pipe
bowl, the other grasping the heavy re-
volver at his hip. There came a plain,
undisguised rustling in the grass
some proving coyote, probably; then
his tense muscles Immediately re-
Taxed, and he cursed himself for being
so startled, yet he continued to grasp
the as" in his right hand, his eyes
alert.

but stern, and the old frontiersman
obeyed mechanically, although his
scanned face was fairly distorted with
rage.
