For Our Boy and Girl Readers

Oliver Twist was poor orphan boy
whom Charles Dickens, the great nov
elist, immortalized.
Surely, children, you know Of this
boy and how he was abused in the
workhouse in which he was born and
where he passed his childhood and
about the life Of crime into which he
was forced by the Artful Dodser and
Fagin in the training school for
thieves?
But how relieved we are when, not
withstanding the villainy Of Fagin and
the ruf1anism of Bill Skies and the
wretchedness of his surroundings, the
little fellows way to deliverance IL
opened by the good soul Nancy, who.
as shining light. befriended and
rescued him from his evil environ
ment.
The girl representing Oliver in the
picture is an Englishwoman who
appeared at production in London
during the Dickens centenary celebra-
ton.

Well up on the face of the opposite
mountain was Sells Pessner's cabin.
Here he and Steve Finter had worked
together in seeming harmony until one
day Steve had slipped down to the
mining town below and accused his
partner of having robbed and attempt
ed to murder him and Of being n horse
thief and contemplating other bold rob-
berries in the neighborhood. He had so
ingrntiated himself with the sheriff as
to be sworn in as a deputy to aid in
the capture.
The first intimation Sells had had Of
the accusation was seeing the sheriff's
posse approach the cabin, and almost
at the same time he received q bullet
in his shoulder. Other bullets had fol-
lowed, but in some way he had es-
capped. He had eluded his pursuers and
hurried to the mining town. slipping in
at night and comforting with some Of
his friends. The next day these men
had done little quiet investigating for
him while lie remained In one Of their
homes That night, in spite Of their
warnings and expostulations, he had
started back, his face stern and his
eyes full Of angry determination. But
when lie saw the posse and threw up
his hands in token of surrender, with a
paper held conspicuously in one hand,
a bullet from Steve's rifle found lodg-
ment in his ankle, almost bringing him
to the ground.
After that he skulked and lodged
and climbed for hours, using a piece Of
broken limb in place of the ankle that
was almost useless. suffering agony at
every step and with only the hope Of
reaching his cabin and making the last
stand as retaliatory as possible.
Now as he crossed into the small val
ley he tried to keep within the screen
of foliage as much as lie could. Luisita

Lawyer as Victim of a

New York, Oct. 23.--The fate OF
Police Lieut.. Charles Becker
charged with the murder of Gamble
Herman Rosenthal will rest with the
jury tomorrow. Counsel for both
sides today completed 1aeir sum-
mings up and all that remains to
close the case is Justice Coff's charge
to the jury tomorrow morning.
Becker heard himself characterize
ed by John f. Mcintyre, his chief
counsel, as the victim OF a conspir-
acy, plotted by Jack Rose, the "hcll
of the assassins" and by Assistant
District Attorney Moss as the
"brains behind the gun men with a
tremendous motive for murder"
What emotions he may have felt
were masked by perfect control OF
his features
The defense centered its attack on
the states case almost wholly on
Roses testimony which Mcintyre de-
nOunCed as unworthy of belief be-
cause Jack Rose testified to save
himself from the electric chair" lie
characterized the corroborating wit
nesses as Crooks and murderers.
The states case he summed up with
a declaration that District Attorney
Whitman "actuated by ambition
had "fathered a prosecution framed
by crooks"
The lawyers spent four hours each
in summing up the evidence.
"lf Pecker did not have motive
for the murder why did he want to
get an affidavit from Rose two days
after Rosenthal was dead?" asked
Moss. "The truth is Becker did not
know how things would 60 He saw
the possibility that Rose might be a
witness against him and he got an
affidavit from Rose to silence him
He got him to swear his own life
away so that he could not testify
against him in this case"
