hopes is freedom from his pursuers.
But, alas, no! Yet another fresh hound
is after him. What can he do? He is
too pumped with his already hard
burst to face the hill before him.
He turns around and tears down
through the bracken with a hound on
each side of him, ready to pull him
down if they get but half chance.
1t is a dingdong race, under trees,
through bogs and bracken, up and
down dells and breaks, smashing head
long through everything, anything, to
reach the shelter of the friendly
water once again. With mighty
spring he is in again. For moment
there is breathing space for now the
keepers and hounds, yet some way off,
are making for the poor beast, which
is in the middle Of the lake. Away he
swims with graceful movement of his
noble head, glancing all around at his
pursuers, but with his mind fixed on
his line of retreat He reaches the
shore, and with dripping sides, he is
out upon the bank.
Again he makes an effort to battle
and leave behind those clinging hounds
that would bear him down. And now
two great hounds are stretching them
selves out TO their utmost pace Side
by side they race after their firing
quarry; in another minute they will
have him. The stag, however, man

now stiffening rapidly, and Just
reaches some park palings surrounding
the big lake.
In an instant he has turned on his
pursuers, and with head down and up
raised fore leg he is prepared to fight
to the death. 4 hound rushes in, but
in a twinllling he is on his back,
hurled away like piece Of wood.
This checks the other hound, which
dodges and bays around the stag.
Seeing that things are now getting
bit too warm for him, the stag sudden
ly turns round and, smashing the pal
ings like match wood finds himself
again in the icy water of the big lake.
Away and away he swims, up this
long stretch, the water seeming to re-
vive him, for he swims the eastern
length, three-quarters of mile, and
then lands at the far end while we
follow ON the shore. He swims till his
feet touch the ground and stands fac
ing us.
All we can do now is to end the stu
alton as speedily as possible. A keeper
deftly throws a rope with loose
knot over the stags antlers. In
moment four burly keepers are haul
ing him out by the ropes. 1t is now
slow march to his feeding ground in
the home park. Slowly the procession
moves, never slackening of the rope
or the hold on the antlers. Through
the gate dividing the parks he is
brought, an unwilling prisoner, though
undaunted. This ends the deer taking.

Beethoven and Schubert The only

4. BERNARD|N
 GOES FREE Immigration Officials Sur-
 prised by Verdict
 IN THE WHITE SLAVE CASE Defendant Immediately Ar rested on Another Charge Stiff Sentence Given Lorenzo-"White Slave" Keeper Who Had Plead ed Guilty
IN THE WHITE SLAVE CASE

The jury, after a brief deliberation in the case of Alfredo Bernardin, charged with influencing or control ing the immoral conduct of an alien woman, less than three years resi- dent of the United States, yesterday afternoon returned verdict of not guilty. The verdict was a surprise to the immigration officials, and the office of the United States attorney as well as to most of the bystanders
 But a precaution against some such an outcome of the case had been taken. A warrant was awaiting Ber- hardin on the charge of bringing the woman into the country for immoral purposes. The warrant itself was at Tucson, but officers had a copy of it.
 Attorney Marks. for the defendant protested against the arrest on the ground of the absence of the warrant, but Judge Kent ruled informally, for this protest was made in the corri- dor after the adjournment of the court, that Bernardin might be taken into custody. but held here until to- night, in order to give the defense time to take steps for his release by habeas corpus If no action is taken. Bernardin will be removed to- night to Tombstone, where the trial will take place.
 The result was the more surpris- ing to the immigration officials, since they believed that they had the strongest chain of evidence that had ever been welded in a white slave" case tried in this Jurisdiction. Every step Bernardin had taken since he ar rived across the border at Fl Paso with the woman last February, up to- the time of his arrest last June, had been covered. The officials had come into possession of the letters, tele- grams and telephone message which he had sent to dive keepers and oth- CTS. and to the woman, Luz Flores or Adele BeniteZ, herself.
 Among the witnesses yesterday Peccoletti. an Italian dive-keeper at Douglas. to whom Bernardin had telephoned from Bisbee. inquiring if he had a room for the woman, and Peccoletti described his arrival with the woman the next day. Another witness was a French woman of the underworld, Agnes Du Prez. who de- scribed the arrival of Bernardin at Tucson, when he fled there from the officers of Douglas. and she told of the inquiries he had made of the state of business at Tucson.

Value Of Muscle.
IN the New York Times


Nothing could be more elusive than the
idea that by a period of athletic training
man can lay in a stock Of health and
strength upon which he can draw later
while engaged in a sedentary occupation.
The truth is that the big muscles and
hypertrophied heart of the athlete are
perilous possessions for the man who no
longer has the time or the inclination for
using them. When he stops the exer-
cises by which he gained them. instead
of simply returning to their original size,
they suffer one or another Of the many
forms of degeneration and become In
capable of performing their original serv-
ices.
1t is not quite true that all exercise for
it's own sake is harmless, for it is well to
be prepared for the meeting of LIES lit
tie emergencies as well as its ordinary
and daily demands, but II probably is
true that, the emergencies apart. every
man does enough in going about his GUS
tomary business and pleasure to keep
himself i'm the condition which that busi-
ness and pleasure demand. and that any
thing besides is superfiuous or injurious.
That athletics take one into the open air
is less a communication of athletics than
an indictment of our houses, offices and
If all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along we'll enough without
any open air at ALL ANY man who has
the muscle he needs for doing the things
he wants to do and should do has all the
muscle he ought to have. To acquire
more is silly waste of time. and perilous
besides.

fact that Cupid turks in the corners of

chance.

best billiard player in the club. Caruso.

challenged him to billiard duel, with
the privilege, If he won. of asking in
marriage the hand of a certain lissom
beauty, Filomena Cirino, the then cham
pion's sister. All was arranged the
match came off. Caruso won. and Cirino

Every week the biiiard matches would
be the talk of the club when ii became
known what were the stakes. And every
week Caruso beat his opponent, fortified
by the thought of the smiles that awaited
him after the battle.

was a worthy man in every respect. Girl

FIGHT FOR A CASTLE.
Duke of Argyll's Action in the
Scottish Courts.

From the London Express.
A remarkable action in which the Duke
of Argyll seeks to prove that the Castle
of Dunstaffnage. Argyllshire belongs to
him, was sent for trial by Lord Johnston
in the court of session. Edinburgh, yes
terday. The castle is at present In pos
session of Mr.. Angus John Campbell.
The Duke Of Argyll. who is proprietor of
the lands of Lorne. states that from a
very early date the castle was a royal
residence and fortress, but was conveyed
to him when his family acquired the
barony OF Iorne from the Stuarts in 147O.
the castle being then mentioned as the
principal messuage or mansion house of
the barony.
In 1902 Archibald, second Earl of Argyll,
granted in feu to his kinsman Alexander
Campbell Kere and his male heirs the
lands of Pennycastle in Lorne, and the
terms of the charter included the safe
keeping and maintenance of the granter's
CaStel of Dunstaffnage.
I'D to the middle of the seventeenth cen
fury the proprietor of these lands was
frequently designated as captain of the
castle. The duke cites a charter of 1861.
and AYERS that Mr.. Campbell and his pre-
decessors have failed to maintain and
upkeep the castle, with the result that it
has fallen into ruinous condition.
Mr.. Campbell claims that he and his an
cestors have been hereditary captains of
Dunstaffnage since 1920.
He claims that Dunstannage Castle has
been occupied for centuries by his ances-
tors as the manor house Of the estate.
Stones built into the castle bear his arms
and initials, and his castle was treated
as the manor house of DunStaffnage when
the estate was entailed In 1870.
Mr.. Campbells statement Of facts he
quotes a letter from Maj. Gen. John
Campbell to Neil Campbell. the twelfth
captain Of Dunstaffnage, and dated
August l. 1746 In ii John Campbell de-
sres to know how many men were in
