WATERBURY PROOF.

Mrs Robert Fisher of 66 North Rlv. erside street. Waterbury. Conn, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills rid my husband of pain in his back from which he had suffered for a long while. It was a kind of a dull grinding pain and caused him a great deal of misery. After trying a number of remedies without much benefit he got a box of Deans Kidney Pills at the H. W. Lake Drug company. and began using them. Deans Kidney Pills cured him and there has been no more complaint about backache since he tried them"

 'Monseigneur, did you see RastatzT' she asked.
 ''No; didn't see him, but knew he was here. Lukovitch told me yester- day"
 "And not in uniform"
 'He has leave, no doubt, and his uni form wouldn't make his stay in Vol semi any more pleasant"
 What's he there for?" she asked fretfully.
 ''Ah, baroness, you must inquire of those who sent him, think" His tone was light and merry

 "Oh, we'll, away with himw cried So- phy. 'The snow's not frozen-shall we canter home, monseigneur?"
 Merrily they cantered through the fast falling evening side by side. Ras- tatz was out of mind now. All was out of mind save the fascination of the crisp air, the silent suggestion of gath ering night, her prince who rode beside her. The dark mass of the tower of Praslok rose too soon before her unwill- ing eyes. She drew reign, signing.
 If life were just all that and nothing else!" she said, as he helped her to dis mount and the grooms took the horses. She stopped halfway up the steep wood en causeway and turned to look back toward Volseni The prince stood close by her.
 That's good. but life has better things" he said softly. ''To ride to- gether is good and to play together. but to work together is better still, baron ess."
 For a moment Sophy was silent. Then she laughed in joy.
 Well, I'm to wear your uniform henceforth. monseigneurr'
 He drew her hand and kissed 1t. Very slowly and gradually she drew It away. her eyes meeting his as he rais- ed his head. The heavy door at the top of the cauSeway opened. Marie Zerkovitch stood there. holding a lamp high in her hand. The sudden light flooded their faces. For a moment more he looked at her, then went down again on his way to the stables. So- phy ran up to where Marie Zerkovitch stood.
 You heard our horsesT' she asked gayly.
 But there was no responsive smile on Marie's lips. For her. too, the light had shone on those two faces, and she was sorely troubled.
 The next day again they rode togeth- CT. and the next. On the third day So- phy rode into volseni in the sheepskin cap and tunic, a short habit of blue hiding Der leather brooches and coming halfway over her long boots. The prince gave her his hand as they rode into the market place.
 Marie Zerkovitch trembled. Max von Hollbrandt shrugged his shoulders with q laugh. and little Rastatz drove back to Slavna through the night. He thought that he had seen enough for his purposes. His report might be use ful in the city on the Krath

LITERARY MECCA OF ENGLAND.

LITERARY MECCA Ot ENULAND.
 The place to which the lover of Eng fish literature will sooner or later turn his steps Is Twickenham. No other small town can boast of having been the residence and beloved abode of so many famous literary lights. With 1t are associated the immortal names of Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Gay, Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibbon. Bos- we'll, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens. Surely this is enough to make any place doubly immortal! Twickenham was we'll nicknamed by Horace Wal pole the Baiae, or Tivoli, of England; for it has truly been to London what Baiae was to ancient Rome--indeed, in a far higher degree. The big red brick house in Montpelier road where Alfred Tennyson lived for so many years of his earlier married life was the one in whi | one of his earlier poems were written. There his son Lionel, the second Lord Tennyson, was born, and there the author of the "Idyls" entertained many of his lit- erary friends and acquaintances. That house should surely be sacred to all lovers of English literature which saw the dawn of Tn Memoriam" which witnessed those delightful gath erings graced by Tennyson, Halmm and kindred spirits within Its walls.

LAM ERlNAN DENIES
GRAND JURY CHARGES
FILES MOTIONS TO SET ASIDE
INDICTMENTS
Former Coroner Says Members of the
Jury Held Prejudice Which Pre-
vented impartial and Un-
biased Action

Motions to set aside the two indict-i
nents recently returned by the grand
Jury against DR.. r. S. Lanterman
were filed In Judge Conrey's depart
rnent OF the superior court yesterday
by the attorneys for the former coro-
'ler, and the allegations contained in
these motions are of such a character
that the court has ordered subpoenas
to be issued for the appearance of
each of the jurors in court at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning, when they
will be examined.
Other than the charge that the in
dictments are not in conformity to
the provisions of the penal code, the
motion to set aside claims that per-
sons were permitted to be present at
the sessions of the grand jury who
were not entitled to be witnesses of
che proc ceilings; that the indictments
we're not found by grand jurors quail
fed by law to take this action, and
that the requisite number of ballots
were not drawn from the grand jury
kox.
1t is also stated that notice of the
drawing of the grand jury was not
given and the drawing was not held in
the presence OF officers of the law.
Perhaps the most serious charge, as
affecting the jurors individually, is
that which states that there existed in
their minds in reference to the case a
state of prejudice which prevented
them from acting impartially and
without bias u the substantial rights
Of Lanterman.
1t is also claimed that the jurors
were not quailfed by law to be mem
bers of the jury, as their names were
not on the last assessment roll of the
county for property assessed to each
Of them in his own name.
Lanterman. through his counsel,
also declares that no copy of the in
dictmen.s were given him at the time
of their return and that the names of
certain witnesses before the grand
jury are not shown on the indictments
1t is expected the motion to set aside
will prove tho opening wedge for
lengthy legal battle between counsel
for Lantermar and the district at
torneys office.
Clyde M. Sage. former deputy coro-
ner, will appear in court this morning
TO answer to two indictments charging
felony.

MEN TO START E0AD
WORK THIS MORNING
Forty Will Be Sent to Laurel Canyon
Today by Supervisors, While
Others Will Go to County
Hospital

The first consignment of men to be
sent by the board of supervisors to
work on the county roads Will leave
Los Angeles for Laurel canyon at 6 45
o'clock this morning from the Los An
gelas- Pacific depot on Fourth street
Forty men will be included in this
company and they will be furnished
transportation to the several places
where repairs to the county road are
needed.
The next consignment of men 10 be
placed at work will be sent to the
county hospital. where repairs t. build
ings and putting the grounds IA good
condition will continue for some time
1t is expected at least 200 men will be
employed in this work ia the near
future.
Deputy Clerk J. w. Powell, Who has
charge of the distributing of the men.
said yesterday they would probably re-
ceive their wages each week. These
wages however, will be in the form
of demands on the county, as it will be
impossible to pay in cash, the county
paying money but once a month. In
this way 1t is believed the immediate
necessities of the workers and their
families will be relieved.
The delay in sending the men into
the country was caused by the heavy
rains of Sunday and Monday.
