And the grand jury. as in duty bound,
indicted him once more.
The day of trial approached. Another
Judge had been selected. The first Judge
had declined 10 preside al trial which
in his opinion was little better than 4
farce.
The authorities were prosecuting and

persistence which puzzled the news

It was not until the day before the
trial that the district attorney really
understood the situation.
He had been mysuhed before. al

kept a stiff upper lip. But on the day
before the trial he received a bulky
letter. many pages long, written in a

A BATHING BELLE.

She dons a bathing suit of blue,
And down the beach she goes,
With little giggles of delight,
To wet her dainty toes.
She bubbles in the briny pools,
She wades along the sand,
She races with the merry waves,
And vows it's simply grand.
She lets the ripples of the surf
Around her ankles play,
And splashes in the pearly foam,
And frolics with the spray;
She counts the silver sails that pass
Against the distant sky,
And dances with the pillows bright
But keeps her powder dry.
