he sliced two strips from the heavy
velour, and forming them into two
revolutionary rosettes, in bitter
mockery, he pinned them to his

clothing, he strobe TO the door,
which was already yielding before
the battering rams of the revolu-

heavy iron bolts in their sockets
and stood before the attackers.

Shouts and imprecations were
hurled at him. For a moment no
body stirred, all appalled, by the

he regained his feet for a moment

Then suddenly an uproarlous
shout went up, and in an instan,
his enemies were abased around

If Count Phelim O'Shaughnessy

assigned him. in which he would have
only ten lines to recite. Hugo prompt

aggerated significance to everything he
did and to every object that was in

For instance. he considered his draw

commonplace enough of sufficient i'm

WONDERFUL RETRIBUTIoN.
An Incident of the Workings of Can.
ada's Government Protection.

In September. 1904. two white men
entered the Lesser Slave lake country,
in the Canadian northwest, ostensibly
prospecting for gold. Subsequently the
Indians reported that one of the men
seemed to be travelling alone. an OBJ
servant Cree boy adding. The white
mans dog won't follow that fellow
any more" The answers given by
Charles King of Mount Pleasant. Utah,
regarding his lost companion. Hay
ward. were not satisfactory. King was
arrested. and there began one of the
most splendid bits of detective work
of which Canada has record.
Sergeant Anderson turned over the
ashes Of campfire and found three
hard Jumps Of flesh and Il small piece
OF skull bone. In front stretched Il
little slough, or lake. which seemed

the chain grew. 1t took eleven months
for Sergeant Anderson to get his com

breed witnesses. The evidence was
placed before the jury. and the Indians
returned to their homes. A legal tech
nicality cropping up. the trial had t.
be repeated in its entirety. and once
more those forty men. women and
children left their traps and fishing
nets and came into Edmonton to tell
their story.
The result was that Charles King
was found guilty of the murder of Ed
ward Hayward and paid the death
penalty. The trial cost the govern
ment of Canada over $30OOO-all to
avenge the death of one of the wan
