CHAPTER Xxx.
Hope Goes to Sheridan.

The discovery OF the locket which had
fallen from about Keith's neck made II
impossible for Hope to remain quietly
for long In the hotel at Fort Larned.
The more carefully she thought over
the story o. that murder at the Cim-
maron Crossing. and Keith's tale OF
how he had discovered and buried the
mutilated bodies, the more assured
she became that that was where this
locket came from. and that the slain
freighter must have been her own IA

truth OF Keith's report; there was that

simply failed to mention what he re-
moved from the bodies. supposing tnis
would be of no special interest.
Mrs. Murphy. hoping thus to quiet
the apprehensions Of her charge set
herself diligently at work to discover
the facts. AS her house was nlleo
with transients. including occasional
visitors from Carson city. and was
also lounging headquarters for many
of the officers from the nearby tort

BAR WOMAN AS LAWYER
Atlanta Student, While Graduating
From College, Is Excluded by
Court Interpretation.

Atlanta, Ga.-When the curtain in
rolled up, disclosing the graduating
class of the Atlanta Law school, there
was a general craning of necks and ex-
cited whispers. For here was a wom-
an candidate for the coveted degree OF
Bachelor of Laws-a Porto in staid
old Georgia-and the audience rose en-
masse to shout its approval of this in
vasion of the sacred rights of man.
The climax came when her name
Mrs. Georgia Mcintyre Weaver-in
the course of the distribution of the
diplomas was called. The little wom-
an, who had sat through the evening
among that dominant group OF men
as unconcerned as though the weight
of her sex was not hanging around
her neck, stepped demurely forward
to receive her degree-"with all the
advantages, privileges and emolu-
ments incident thereto"
But the following morning, while
| the balance of the class was being
admitted to the bar, Mrs. Weaver, she
"of the privileged SEX sat in her
room gazing at her diploma and think
ing of the useless degree that entitled
/ her TO all the advantages, privileges
and emoluments thereto"
For, under an Interpretation Of the
law, as laid down by the Georgia
courts, only male citizens are eligible
TO the practice of law. Mrs. Weaver
therefore, just because she is wo-
man, ard in spite of the high standing
she attained in her class, must sit su
pinely aside.

CONSERVATIVE LEADER
 SAVED BY THE CAVALRY.
Pertusssss Democrats Make Rush
 With View of Capturing Him.

Lisbon, via The Frontier. Dec. 25.- The political situation arising from the deadlock of the conservatives and dem ocrats is rapidly developing. The con servative element predominates fin the cabinet, while nearly half the members of the Portuguese parliament are dem ocrats. Both parties are endeavoring 10 organize coup d'etat.
 The conservative chief, Dr. Almedia, was hastily summoned back from Switzerland, and his arrival here was made the occasion of a monster dem onstration on the part of the conserva- tivee. The democrats replied with an equally imposing counter demonstra- tion.
 The government, alarmed at the pos sibility of trouble. turned out all avail able police and troops. As soon as the steamer aboard which Almedida was a passenger was docked, there was a tremendous uproar of cheers and groans. and the democrats made a de- termined rush with the object of cap turing the leader of the rival party.
 A riot ensued. Dr. Almeida was ex- tricated from his perilous position by cavalry, which charged the mob, and he was sent to his home in an auto mobile under military escort. The baffed democrats paraded the streets for many hours. The troops are kept constantly under arms, as important happenings are likely at any moment

Will CO to the
 Jury this Week
TRIAL OF "DYNAMITERS" IS
 NEARING THE END,
WILL TAKE WHOLE DAY
With Forty Defendants and 26 Counts Against Eachr Jury Will Have a Serious Task-The Penalties,

Indianapolis. Ind. Dec 25.--The cases of the forty labor union officials aC- cused of promoting the McNamara dy- namiting plots in the iron workers strike against employers of non- union labor, will go to the jury within 36 hours, or possibly sooner.
 At the close of the arguments to- morrow night or on Friday morning Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson will instruct the jury. It is understood the courts outline of the law as to what testimony shall be applied to certain defendants will require about an hour. Separate Verdict for Each Defendant.
 The jurors then will retire to delib- crate as to the men who, headed by Frank M. Ryan, president of the In ternational Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, were brought here three months ago from cities scat tered from Boston to Los Angeles to figure as defendants in what is said to be the most important trial of it's kind ever held in federal court.
 The jury. to be asked to return 6 separate verdict for each defendant, is composed entirely of farmers or mer- chants from rural districts of Indiana.
 Jury Will Be Out at Least Day.
 The fact that the jury must vote on each defendant after considering the testimony the court holds applicable to him, is the basis for a belief that yerdicts will net be returned in less than day. There are 26 counts against each defendant, 25 of which provide a maximum penalty of B months imprisonment and one which provides a maximum imprisonment of two years. The government contends that the penalties for the offenses charged are cumulative in the discre- tion of the court-or total possible penalty of 39 1-2 years.
