LOSS OF SUIT
 BY TRACTION Appeal Dismissed in the
 Knabe Case. JUDGMENT $l2,5OO STANDS Court Sitting Out of Term on
 $l0,OOO Judgment. Tor This Reason Supreme Court Deeid~ ed an Appeal Could not Be sup- ported--0ther Opinions Re
 versed.
JUDGMENT slzsoo STANDS

By just few hours the Montgomery Traction company lost their legal foot hold in the Supreme Court yesterday in the case of that corporation against MatilIa A.. F. Knabe. The net result of yesterdays decision, therefore, Is to make a judgment of si2.s00 in favor of the plaintiff stick instead of one for si00O0 which was agreeable to counsel for Mrs. Knabe.
 At midnight July 5, 1907, the October term of the Montgomery City Court ended but there seemed to be no one who irealized it. On July that year. after q verdict for 1s,500 had been re- turned by the jury in the case, counsel for the Traction company made a mo- tion for a new trial. As s concession plaintiffs counsel offered to remit so much of the Judgment as would cut down the amount of damages to SI0,- GOO. The motion for a new trial was insisted on but the judge entered a judgment in accordance with the offer of counsel for nlaintiff, which was for s10.900. It was from this that the ap- peal was taken. i.
 The Supreme Court speaking through Justice N D. Denson held the judgment for $10.000 was void because the court was sitting out of term time. By the construction placed on the situation by Justice Densen and Associates. the term ended at 12 o'clock on the night of July s or on Saturday before the second Monday in July.
 The determination of the appeal hung on the construction of two acts of the Legislature which purported to fix the time for holding court by the City of Montgomery. There was an act of the Legislature approved December 6. 1900, amending certain sections of the Code fixing the terms of the City. Court of Montgomery. This act divided the year into three terms, one to begin the first Monday in Febuary, the second on the first Monday in July and the third on the second Monday in october.
 By the act of February 2s, 1907, how ever, the term arrangement was chang cd and two terms were provided for the City Court. The October term was to begin on the first Monday in oeto- ber and continue until the Saturday be- fore the second Monday in JuIy fol- lowing and the July term was fixed to begin on the second Monday in July and continue until Saturday before the first Monday in October following un- less adjourned sooner by an order of the court.
 An Attack On Act.
 An attack was made on the consti- nationality of the last act of the Legis- lature fixing the terms of the court The Supreme Court disposed of this argument, however, in quick terms. eand held that there was no merit in the contention, On the other hand. the subsequent act of the Legislature vast clearly upheld by the Supreme

Stolen Horse Returns,

The strange recovery of stolen
horse by livery company in Chi
cago is reported by a newspaper of
that city. The horse, attached to a
buggy, was hired out to man who
returned to the stable with the plea
that while he was in house, thieves
had stolen the horse and buggy and
had driven away. There was no clue
to the thieves, and after a fruitless
search the animal and vehicle were
set down as lost. The night watch
man was aroused some nights after
wards by paving at the stable door.
On opening 1t to investigate he was
nearly knocked down by the missing g
horse, who rushed in and up to his
usual hay rack. He had no harness
on and was covered with foam. 1t
is conjectured that, being unhar-
messed to change the rig, he had
escaped and had made his way to his
owners stable. His fidelity is re-
proach to those who voluntarily wan
der from Gods fold, or yield to the
temptations of the enemy of souls

CHAPTER XVII.

And Miss Matty kept her word. The
week for which she had been originally
invited passed on without any alluslon
having been made to her wishes OF OBJ
tanning employment as nursery gov
erness; and Mr.. Mohun came daily, and
for hours at time, to the cottage, ana
(as far as it was possible to judge OF
him by any outward indications of
manner) had not the remotest intention
that Miss Ferguson should go away.
With pain above all common Jeai'
ousy, pain keener than any of the
natural pangs that a woman must feel
in seeing her lover turn to one younger

at the progress of the intimacy that

istence for his sake! For her to be

through her, to have inherited dishonor.
But what if he married Matty Fer
gusson? For what empty dream had
all her happiness been sst aside If he
married this girl, bred up to the knowl-
edge of every evil Of continental life,
and with such parentage. both on her
fathers and mothers side? Warren

herself Jane felt perfect thrill or
shame when she thought what she was
and what all her life had been. and

for her own fond articles of faith which
until now she had held as much above
the sacrilege Of doubt as the prayers
she put up to heaven every night ana
morning of her simple life.
She felt it to be so; and she said to
