To the Memoirs of the Town Coun-

We the undersigned patrons, citi-
zens and taxpayers do hereby re-
spectfully appeal to your honorable
body, in behalf of our public school,
We are reliably Informed that there
are not sufficient funds for the con-
tinuance of the school for the full
term of nine months. We believe
that a full term of nine months is
imperatively needed. The children
of the town should not be deprived
of single opportunity to prepare
themselves properly for life. We
therefore petition your honorable
body to make provision out OF funds
al your disposal as you may be able
to provide for as shall be necessary
for the completion of the entire nine
months school term.

CHAPTER XXI.

81 SUMMON CARMEL CUMBERLAND"
T%HE district attorney shrugged
this answer away before he
went on to say: You have lis
tened to Zadok Browns testi-
mony, When he returned at 3 he found
the stable door locked and the key
hanging up on its usual nail in the
kitchen. How do you account for
this?"
There are two ways"
Mention them, if you please"
"Zadok had been to dance and may
not have been quite clear as to what
he saw. or, finding the stable door
open. may have blamed himself for the
fact and sought to cover up his fault
with a lie"
Have you ever caught him in lie?"
NO. But there's always a first
time"
You would impeach his testimony
them"
No You have asked me how this
discrepancy could be explained, and |
have tried to show you"
MIR. Cumberland. the gray mare was
out that night. This has been amply
proved"
IF you believe Zadok, yes"
you have heard other testimony
eorroborative of this fact. She was
seen on the clubhouse road that night
by a person amply qualified to identify
her"
so I've been told"
THE person driving this horse wore
a hat, identified as an old one of yours,
which hat was afterward found at
your house on a remote peg in a sell
dom used closet If you were not this
person. how can you explain the use
of your horse, the use of your clothes,

her cheek,

have had serious Illness quite apart
from that injury. But you are better

go home If you will"
II cannot go home-not Just yet.
| I'm-Im not strong enough. But we
shouldn't be here alone without some
man to look after us. Miss Huckins,
where is my brother"
At this question, uttered with EN-
| phasis, with anxiety-with Indignation
even-Miss Unwin felt the emotion she
had so successfully subdued up to this
moment betray itself in her voice as
she answered with quiet motion to-
ward the elevator: Let us go up to
our room There / will answer all
your questions"
But Carmel, with the waywardness
of her years, or perhaps with deeper
reasoning powers than the other would
be apt to attribute to her, broke softly
away from Miss Unwin's OBTAINING
office, looked about for the newspaper
stand She reached it just as a boy
stepped into view with the evening
bulletin, on which had been written
these words:
The last juror obtained in the trial of
Arthur Cumberland for the murder of his
sister, Adelaide.
Carmel saw and stood, a breathless
image of horror A couple of gentle
men came running, but the nurse wav-
ed them back and herself caught Car
mel and upheld her, in mOmentary
dread of another mental If not phys

But Carmel had come back into the
world of consciousness to stay. Ac-
cepting her nurses support, but Civ

her eyes fixed upon Miss Unwin.

With the sudden ronding of the
clouds which had ~obscured her intel
lect strange powers had awakened in
this young girl.

stopped
Carmel was not listening. Another
change Of thought had come. How
