A MURDER CASE TRIED IN ONE DAY.

1t may be the English courts have allowed the pendu-
lum to swing too far to the other extreme from delayed
practice 1t would the defendant had little chance
for his life.
But if the English courts are too hasty ours are too
slow.
In our practice there appears too much of lenency
toward the defendant Ia trying to practice fairness
courts allow too much latitude and permit the introduction
of too much unimportant evidence The jury might be
fused to the law and the facts. Even clearheaded
Judge might be tangled in the of testimony and the
multitude of intricate propositions advanced by able
counsel.
Hence the delay.

The Daily Short Story

came more the man and less the
animal. His strength near spent,
he had no hope of eluding his pur-
suer. He crossed cleared place
in the thicksown pine woods. Then
selecting a tree of the biggest size,
he hid his painting body behind it,
Young Johnson did not stop. The
fine high courage which had sus-
tanned his father in the latters
sympathy for the union against the
feeling and oft-times the enmities
of his neighbors in the war be-
, tween the states now sustained the
son. Travers took hurriedl atm,
then fired. Still oJhnson came at
him. tS
Neighbors came upon the twoi in
the little clearing. Travers laid with
wide-open eyes staring into the
moonlight AS the shadows from
the attenuated pine fiecked across
his face, there still remained much
of the horror in the eyesi with
which he had watched Johnson APP
proach him as he saw his bullet
had not killed.
Johnson laid across him, face
down, the fingers of his two hands
still half clinched in the clutch
which left the series of black
bruises upon Travers' throat. The
slight traces of blood which car
mined his lips showed that Travers
bullet had not gone wild.

PURSUED

Long Hank" Travers chuckled
in an amused way as his shot
brought down "Ole Hir'm' John
son. Twenty years is long while
to await vengeance for a tritiing
blow Travers thought with grin
of the day when he, a ragged boy,
had been "catted" out of the rocky
melon patch of the Johnsons. "Ole
Hir'm" Johnson it was who had
chased him out and had slashed
him with a slim branch of a tree
as his ragged rear fluttered be-
tween the rails of the fence in his
hurried flight.
"Ole Hir'm'' Johnson he was as
he toppled over like struck beef

but the 20 years before he had been

mountaineer: 'uppish. as the low
land Tennesseeans called him, with
his 2 young sons and his few
''niggers.'
Travers allowed his thoughts to

son boys-Abe. he was called, who
was killed a week before by flank
Brefford One of the Breffords had
been killed 2 days later by the
elder Johnson boy.
They'll think the Brefordses
done it," Travers said as he gaZed
gleefully upon the stopped hulk
before him. But his self satisfac-
ton was short lived. From over
the top of the hill "Ole Hir'm" son
came running Travers thought
the boy was not at home. Else he
never would have gone to the John
son place to kill the old man. He
turned to fee, the craven fear
which had held back for 30 years,
his oft-thought vengeance on old
Johnson knocking at his ribs with
every heavy pulsation of his fast
feating heart.
With the long. easy stride of a
deer, the sinews of his legs taking
little account of the race, young
Johnson pursued the slayer of his
father.
Travers made for bushy under
growth that flecked the tortOus
course of Mullet river, as the ma
tiyes had dignified the unimportant
stream. He hoped to find refuge in
some deep growth until the fast
falling sun hid its face over the

his pursuer gained upon him.
With his heart pounding like a
| triphammer, his breath coming in
| gasps between a sob and groan
at times whistling from his parch-
! ed throat in manner that awed
him in a subconscious way, Travers
added to his speed. Soon all
thought of physical anguish left
him. There remained with him the
dull, heavy pain of weariness-the
utter phsical lassitude of exhaus

secretary of the admiralty, Mr. Robert
son, said the admiralty was of the
opinion that the two-power standard

proposed programme for construction.
During tie past 10 years Great Britain
had added l,l92, 2O5 tone to her navy,
while Russia, France and Germany to-
gelher had added l,1OS. 2S0 tons.
The British navy Is tho cheapest In

of France cost $500, Russia f4e6 and
Germany S4S5. Two years hence Great
Britain will have completed six new
bat leships, Including three OF the Dread

of The lnvincible class, while neither
France nor Germany would have single
ship of those types completed. The

When the Duke and Duchess OF Mari

fore. Mrs. 0. Ii. z. Belmont. the

how long she will remain in New York
is matter of conjecture. 1t Is not stat
cd whether her two boys will accompany

Under ihe terms OF the Marlborough

boys, the Marquis OF Blsndford, now in
his tenth year, snd Lord Ivor speu-
Ger Churchill, who will be nine In OctO-
Der, could be with their mother in New

ment is understood 10 have been that

parents, but that the duke would have

not to bring them to America for "any
