Anything else?" she exclaimed.
The judge began to fuss with the
papers on his desk, as he usually did
when embarrassed for words.
"Of course" he stammered, you
will be amply compensated"
"Of course" she cried. Rising
from her chair, she shrugged her
shoulders, and said:
"Oh, well, this is not my lucky day.
They wouldn't let me into the prison

doesn't like me. He has always tried
to prevent my seeing Howard, but
I'll see him tomorrow, captain or no

that"

the lawyer.

He said nothing, and she continued:

that's the worst part of it-home-"
She stopped short, she could go no
further. Her bosom was heaving, the
hot tears were rolling down her
cheeks. The Cd lawyer turned away
his head so that she might not see
the suspicious redness in his eyes.
Moving toward the door, she turned
around.

Judge. I'll go now, but I'll come again

Annie returned his angry look with
the utmost calm. She was playing
her cards we'll, and she knew 1t. She
had hit the old man in a sensitive
place. Quietly, she went on:
You'd say yes in a minute if it
wasn't for Mr.. Jeffries."
"Oh, you think SO, do you?" he
gasped.
I'm sure Of it," she replied, conf
IDENTIFY. Boldly she went on: You're
afraid of him.
Judge Brewster frowned. He did
not like the insinuation that he was
afraid to do the right thing because
1t might interfere with his emolu-
ments. Yet, secretly, he had to ad-
NIT to himself that she had almost
guessed right. Now he came to think
of it, he had taken this stand in the
matter because he knew that any
other course would dsplease his
wealthy client. After all, was he do
ing right? Was he acting in conform
ance with his professional oath? Was
he not letting his material interests
interfere with his duty? He was ST.
lent for several minutes, and then, in
an absent-minded kind of way, he
turned to his visitor.

just love to rush in and fight for him.
His father thinks he is guilty and,
well-you don't like to disobey him.
It's very natural. He's an influential
man, a personal friend of the presi-
dent and all that. You know on which
side your bread is buttered, and-oh,
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-07-08

it's very natural-you're looking out
for your own interests"
Judge Brewster interrupted her i'm
patiently.
Circumstances are against How
ard. His father judges him guilty
from his own confession. It's the con-
clusion I'm compelled to come to my
self. Now, how do you propose to
change that conclusion?"
you don't have to change it," she
said, quietly. You don't believe

You knew Howard when he was boy,
and you know he is as incapable OF

Mrs. Jeffries, how do you know
that your husband did not kill Robert

Il know it," she said, confidently.

do you know it?"
Annie looked steadily at him, and
then she said solemnly:
81 know there's a God, but can't
tell you how l know it, that's ALL.
Howard didn't do it. l know he
didn't"
The lawyer smiled.
That's a very fair sample of fem

"Well, it's all have" she retored,
with toss of her head. And it's a
mighty comfort, too, because when

London. All it wants is value received
for its money, and everybody knows
it has the money.
So what was simpler, when a little
New York for it? All the agent in
New York had to do was to rush
along the best art obtainable, EN-
phasis being laid upon the classical
and antique statuary, and the rest
was easy.
And that was r 1t happened
that one day several cumbersome
packing cases were dumped off a
train at Weatherford, consigned to
the Southwestern Normal. The pack
ing cases were sent out to the school
building, and janitor was instructed
to open them.
A little while later the janitor ap-
peared apologetically in the Office of
one of the faculty members.
Boss" he said. I'm afraid some
body's done busted de arms often
one of dem stachutes!"
The faculty man inspected the cast,
which was copy of famous Venus,
and told the janitor not to worry
about that. A little while afterwards,
the same janitor reappeared with
even a deeper look of trouble.
Boss" he said this time, "dey
amt nobody busted dis one. but some
body's sho' forgot to send along de
pants!"
Il was too true! Apollo didn't hcve
on so much as a Highlander's kills
Hercules and Mercury stood brazenly
forth in the same state of attire.
And this was what New York has
sent to occupy prominent places
around the college grounds a.d build
ing of a perfectly respectable institu-
ton for young ladies anC gentlemen.
There was a hurried call of the fac
ulty. To drape or not to drape-that
was the question. And then some
body brought chisels into use and the
statues were made to conform to the
local ideas of decency.
And that was how Appollo Her
cules and Mercury, not to mention
some lesser heroes and deities, re-
NAMED in obscurity in a cellar under
the normal school building until the
state board of edu ,ation made its re-

"Yes, yes, l know" replied the
Judge, hastily. II got your family his
tory from Mr.. Jeffries after your mar
riage. 1t is filed away among the
family archives"
She smiled sadly.
"It's a wonder you don't burn 'em
up-my folks were not a very bril-
liant lot" Earnestly she went on:
But my father was all right, Judge
Blood was thicker than water with
him. He'd never have gone back on
me in the way Howard's father has
on him"
The lawyer looked at her fixedly
without speaking. Their eyes met
and the silence continued until it be-
came embarrassing. Judge Brewster
shook his head.
Its too bad. I'm sorry for you
really, I"
Annie laughed, and he asked:
why do you laugh?"

said. "Ha! Ha! It's almost a joke

The lawyer said nothing. He still
stared at her in a strange, absent
minded kind Of way, until finally she
lost patience. Boldly she said:

you want to see me about, judge?"

Munyon's Paw Paw Pills arc unlike
all other laxatives or oathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not gripe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions Of the liver
and stomach in q way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There arc 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really q sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned. caus-
ing biliousness, Indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II

now being sold for the reason that they

and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
to the stomach. liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
tho nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels

Weatherford, Okla. - Hereafter
when an ancient god visits an Okla
homa institution of learning, he will
have to wear what is called-in the
vernacular of the southwest-pants.
When it comes to real art, nobody
has anything on the students and
faculty Of the Southwestern Normal
school at this place. But their art is
Of distinctly proper sort, which be-
lieves In pants where pants ought to
be. And that's where Apollo, Her
cules, Mercury ct al got into trouble.
The new normal school building is
really an imposing one, and everybody
hereabouts is proud of it. But some
one who had once been to the state
university discovered that 1t was in
complete. 1t had modern steam radia-
tors and ventilation shaft and every
thing of that kind, but it was shy
something. Then somebody else
awoke to the burning need Of little
statuary, something antique and
classical, that could be scattered
around in convenient places that
weren't already occupied.

was a comic look of despair in his

visitor had her errand not been so
