Adversely Conquered
Continued

soft and tender rays upon the Iofin
of the writer. Her hair had fallen
in sweet confusion about her head
as she bent to the task before her,
of any presence but her
own. The man took few noiseless
steps forward until he stood directly
behind her chair. He had intendeda
surprise for his niece who did not
expect to see him home SO soon, but as
he paused his eyes encountered the
letter before him. Without mean
ing to, he read the name, James Lee.
What is this?'
As he spoke he held the letter be-
fore the startled gaze of the girl.
There was something new in his
voice; something she had never heard
before. She had partly risen from
the table and as her mind strove
vainly to form reply she stretched
her hand for the letter. She knew
too we'll that nothing she could say
would justify her conduct in the
mind of her uncle. Moreover, the
honor of her friend as well as her
own depended on her answer, SO with
a woman's resignation she decided
upon silence.
Give me the letter. 1t does not
concern you"
Her voice was calm, and did not
betray her emotions by SO much as a
culver. For moment her uncle re-
garded her with something of ad-
miration in his eyes, but this soon gave
place to anger and without SO much
as an answer, he struck her violent
ly in the face and left the room.
Although staggered by the force
of the blow, she recovered herself
quickly and for moment stood in
silence. Her face was flushed with
shame to think her uncle could con-
slider her guilty of wrong act. She
knew from the bottom Of her own
pure heart that her every act was
prompted by the highest and most
worthy motives. In the moments
she stood there she seemed to be
transformed from girl to woman.
She knew full well her uncle would
soon repent of his harshness, but she
doubted if she could find it in her
heart to forgive him.
Picking up cloak she drew it
about her shoulders and left the
| house. A few minutes later found
her seeking admission to her friends
home. where the usual hearty vel
come awaited her. There the letter
was written and the whole story told
She did not blame him; did not ask
his aid, but poured out the anguish
of her breaking heart. She also
addressed a letter to her uncle in
forming him that she would return
home onlv when he saw fit to apOl
, ogize fer his harsh treatment.
The next few days brought llttl'
: ioy to Eva Starr At length ther
came a letter, it bore the nam
of James Lee. Slowly she read it
every word awakening some sleeping
emotion. He told how deeply h'
> regretted the consequence OF he
3 kindness and expressed desire t.
aid her, requesting her to NEE
, him in nearby city few days later
f That same day she returned to he
[ uncle's home to prepare for tn
= Journey. He was at his place o
l business 50 after packing few al
8 ticles necessary for the journey sh
t left the house without word OF ie

assured that they would always give

One hot day he was eating his
noon lunch on pine log when he
saw big rattler coiled few feet in
front of him. He eyed the serpent
and began to lift his legs over the

the bark beneath him.

Defendant WAS DISMISSED
John Stein Was Acquitted on stsbbing
Charge - Complaining Witness
Was Held

John Stein, Of Polish parentage,
New Jersey education and an honest
disposition told Judge Sullivan this
morning that in the future he was
going to leave the booze strictly
alone. This followed his dismissal
Of the change Of stabbing one Clar-
ence Newell in the leg Tuesday.
Stein, when placed on the witness
stand this morning, told a straight
forward story Of how he had been in
tho saloon and had probably had q
few too many drinks Of how the bunch
in the place got too strong" for him
and he decided to leave. He stated
that he took an amount of money out
of his pocket to pay for the drinks
"the bunch had had on him" and
some one had knocked all Of his
money from his hand. He told how
there had been q general scramble
for the money and how In attempting
to pick up some Of It, the complain
ing witness put his foot on his hand
and held It there while he was trying
to pick up q silver dollar.
Stein said that while he was mixed
up in the general "roughhouse" that
followed, someone "weeded" him for
his pocketbook containing about $25.
The Judge, after hearing the testi-
mony. dismissed the prisoner and or
dored the complaining witness, Clar-
ence Newell, arrested.
