line o'clock in the evening, one hour
before the fire was discovered, had
,ormed the basis of the accusation in
court.
Mr.. Dayton had been able to prove
hat he had been confined to the
house all that fatal day with slight
hdisposition. He had gone up to his
room at eight o'clock. The jury had
only his unsupported word for this,
Tor no member of the household was
lble to say that he had been seen
again until the ensuing morning.
The base implication of the prose-
,ution was that Mr.. Dayton had
slipped out Of the house between the
hours of eight and ten in the evening.
They limited that he had fired the
plant and returned to his room before
the flames were discovered.
1t was at the darkest moment in the
trial for the anxious father and daugh-
Ter, when their lawyer called Dr. Paul
Merwin. A serious faced young man
the Daytons had never seen before
look the witness stand. He was care
iully but not extensively dressed 1t
was notable that he never even
glanced at the accused man nor his
laughter.
His evidence was plain, simple and
convincing. He was a comparative
stranger in the city working up a
small practice. The evening of the
ire he had been resting ir the garden
Of the vacant house adjoining the
Dayton mansion. Gect0Y Merwin
swore positively that he Tad sat
there, the Dayton house in clear view,
from eight O'Clock in the evening un-
til nearly eleven p. m. During all
that time, he testified, he had been in
full sight of the music room where
Miss Dayton was entertaining some
guests, and the up stairs apartment
in wing of the house where her fa-
Their had been studiously engaged in
going over some account books.
The prosecution was confornded.
The lawyers asked few formal ques-
lions. There was no refutation Of the
evidence. Robert Dayton was a free
man, honorably acquitted
The young physician was close at
the, side of Mr.. Dayton's attorney as
the latter approached his client.
Just then the acquitted man was
surrounded by crowd of friends.
Evelyn faced the young physician. In
an impulse of deep joy she put out
both her hands. ~
1--WE can never tell what we owe
you," she said fervently, almost bro
kenly.
1T has been my great fortune to be
of service to you," replied Doctor
Merwin modestly.
For a moment her hands rested in
his close earnest grasp. Almost quick
ly she withdrew them

ca,umst Guarantees Bakino Economy

Have you ever stopped to think just
what economy in baking really means?
Some folks seem to have the idea that
saving a little on the cost OF the mate
rials-the -four. eggs, etc.-is economy
Others are of the opinion that they have
been economical when they buy the low
priced baking powder, and save 1oc to 25c
But both are wrong. For the real econ
pmy--the economy that counts-consists in
doing away with the failures that so
often waste far more than is saved in
buying low-priced materials.
And that beyond a doubt is the reason
that Calumet Baking Powder. is the favor
tie of millions Of cooks. Tt absolutely
prevents failures-and guarantees sue

The flashlights of the camera men

following the solemn announcement
Of the foreman of the jury:
Not guilty"
CamerAs and eyes sought one espe-
cial corner, of the place. It was where
q dignified, fine faced old man had sat
all through the trial-where he sat
now. He was the accused, Robert
Dayton. A faint expression of graft
fication crossed his face. Then 1t
softened down to extreme tenderness.
Evelyn, his daughter, his constant
companion during the trying ordeal OF
the past few days, had thrown her
arms about his neck and was sobbing
out her joy upon his bosom.

bring that dreadful charge? And

Evelyn did not exaggerate in her
filial statement. 1t had been a nine
days wonder to the little city when,
one week after the destruction by fire
bf the unused plant of the Dayton
Manufacturing company, two former
partners of Mr.. Dayton had accused
him of burning down the property.
There had been friction and litiga-
lion between the three partners, so
severe that Mr.. Dayton had closed
down the works. He had offered his
partners a fair settlement, which they
had bitterly refused. The fire had set

through the insurance was Mr.. Day

Chief Event.


A schoolmaster is telling a rather
funny story against himself. He be-
gins the story with the significant re-
mark that one Saturday he paid the
last of series of visits to his dentist.
On the following Monday morning one
or two of his pupils looked at him GU
riously, but, of course, nothing was
said. He makes a point of trying to
interest his pupils in the current af-
fairs of the world, SO when his class
assembled he opened his newspaper
and, as usual, asked the question:
"Well. children, what is the chief
event that has happened since Fri
day."
Quick as lightning came the reply
from little girl in the front row:
please, sir, you've had a set OF
false teeth"
