"There's no depression i'll the

On the contrary. business is good
and everybody is talking i'll an op-

who said they had experienced a
slight reaction in business. but
even they declared that it was
picking up again now.
Il was amazed at the enterprise
shown in Florida. and it is simply
wonderful what is going on in
parts of Georgia. One of the
places | visited was ValdOsta. Ga.
and it would be hard to find a
more enterprising town anywhere
in the country. Naldosta has H.
600 inhabitants. but there are
more new buildings going up
there. in proportion to the size OF
the place, and of a more expensive
character than in Baltimore.

couraging.

Names impending revolt
against prohibition is believed to
be the real reason Tor the reSigna-
ton Of Charles +. Littleheld from
the House of Representatives
where for nine months he has
served as congressman from the
Second Maine district.
Representative Littleheld for a
long time has been the head and
front OF the rcactiOnary sentiment
on the prohibition question. He
has openly supported the Sturgis
law from political platforms in
two campaigns. and this action
alone resulted in 1906 in his re-
election to Congress by barely a
thousand plurality in district
where the normal Republican plu-
rality has been for years in excess
of 5000.
Throughout the state of Maine
the agitation for a resubmission at
the polls this fall of that section Of
the constitution which prohibits
the sale of liquor is exceedingly
strong. and it had become appar-
ent to Mr.. Littleheld and his
! friends that disaster would block
his path if he sought to continue
in the House of Representatives
or in any other branch Of Maine S
political life without completely
upsetting his publicly declared
political principles.
OF the two leading candidates
for the 9ovcrnorshiD this fall one
Sheriff William NJ Pennel of
! Portland ifs an avowed anti-pro-
libitionist. The other, William
T. HaineS. is making his CAM

"Mrs. Williams is excused for the
present. You will be sworn, Mr.. -"
Carlton Clarke" answered my COM
panion, taking the oath.
"Now," said Clarke, this boy is in
no condition OF mind to be examined,
but when he sees that he has not COM
mitted a crime, and that no harm will
come to him, he will corroborate what
| have to say. / found him in the far
thest corner of DR.. Smiths hay
loft praying for dear life. He is
the boy that DR.. Smith sent after the
package of imitation powder which he
had left at Mrs. Williams house when
he called there the afternoon previous
to the tragedy to deliver another pack
age at the request of the drug clerk,
Paget This boy intended going rab-
bit hunting the next day, and on his
way to Mrs Williams he stopped at
Toby's gun store and bought nickels
worth of gunpowder This he slipped
into his left pocket When Mrs.
Williams gave him the package DR..
Smith had left he put 1t in his right
pocket. Being an absent-minded
youth, he had forgotten all about his
errand when he returned to DR..
Smiths house The doctor asked
him suddenly for the package, and
being left-handed, as may be proved,
he reached for his left pocket. The
next morning when he heard of DIR.
Williams death and found what he
had done, he hid the other package
in the hay, where / found it. He has
been in a condition of absolute terror
and in hiding in the hay ever since.
Isn't that so, Timothy Dolan?"
"Y-y-yes, thir," sobbed the boy.
Then the court room broke into
cheers, and whatever formalities the
court took to free DR.. Smith were lost
in the excitement.
AS Clarke and | watched the spires
of Aurovia fading in the distance that
evening, could not help wondering II
DR.. Smith greatly regretted the mis-
take of his freckled stable boy.
More than a year after the events
recorded in the foregoing narrative

one morning when the mail brought
a square envelope addressed to Clarke.

card over to me. "This will recall
to your mind the mystery of the Ia

rage of Mrs. Lucille Williams to DR..

Glow do you know it?" snapped
Clarke, with his eyes riveted upon the
frail bit of femininity before him.

changed the powders"
Mrs. Williams, why do you, who
are not of caste given to falsehood,
deliberately tell me what know to be
untrue? DR.. Smith would not ask this
sacrifice at your hands. He is inno-
cent, and his innocence alone will save
him."
She cried, appealingly:
80. I will save him! You shall not
prevent me! Even though he be guilty
I will save him. Mine was the first
guilt. Prove that he is innocent, and
I will thank you with my whole life.
If you cannot, do not stand in my
way, for am the guilty one and on
my head alone should the punishment
fall. You have dragged out my
i secret and made me lay my heart open
before you who are strangers. Do not

lem out in my own way, beg of you,

Just then the telephone bell rang
violently

weak to rise.
I went to the telephone.

counsel, let Mrs. Williams take her

I asked.

both innocent. She told the truth.

"She is innocent, but | have my

that if he were innocent.

proceedings already had commenced
The first evidence of real impor-
lance was that of the drug clerk, who
swore to the facts he had told Clarke

Finally Mrs. Williams was called to
the stand. There was buzz of excite
ment and then a hush as the little
woman took the oath. The coroner, in
questioning her, showed an absolute
lack of sympathy, although in no point
did he exceed his legal rights.
NOW, Mrs. Williams continued
the coroner, after a few formal ques-
tons, Il want you to tell the jury
what passed between you and DR..
