Iryin0 the WRONG Man,

An unusual verdict was rendered by
che jury in case tried In California
town good many years ago. The
question was as to the ownership Of
several head of cattle which the de.
PENDANT was accused of having stolen
from the plaintiff. AS the case pro-
ceeded and different witnesses gave
their evidence, 1t became apparent to
all listeners that the defendant was an
innocent man. When 1t came time
for the jury to retire to consider their
verdict, they did so, but returned to
the courtroom in few moments.
The foreman looked the judge straight
in the eye and said with drawl and
twang which betrayed his New Eng
land origin:
"Jcdge, we find the plaintiff guilty."
"The court is not trying the plain
tiff, but the defendant" said his honor
hastily. and the matter being explain.
ed, the foreman was at length induced
to express the jury's opinion that the
defendant was not guilty.
"Howsomever." added the foreman
solemnly, "'pears to me we're con
sidering the wrong man. your honorr

CHAPTER X
Illumination.

me life of the Reverend Titus E.
Laurie contained two active prin-
ciples. The first of these was a
tireless enthusiasm for the propa.
cation of the principles Of Chris
tionity; the second was solicitude
for ms daughter Margaret.
But his religious work took al
ways first place in his mind. He
had preached when he was IS; at
Is he was a local preacher" and
at 20 he was in full charge of a
church of his own in South Rock,
n. Y.
At the opening of the war he
went to the front as an army nurse.
In three months he came back, va
guely in disgrace. 1t appeared that
he had been unable to resist the
entreaties of his patients, and had
supplied them, surreptitiOusly, with
tabooed chewing tobacco and
liquor. But this was an error of
kindness and ineXperience; it was
easily condoned by his supporters.
In 1866 he was much in demand as
a revivalist. Mr.. Laurie had charge
of the funds of his church as well
as of it's souls. 1t was hard for a
non-producer to live in the period
of high prices succeeding the war.
Just what he did with the money
in his custody was never definitely
