He Extended a Folded Document.

Then, with his glance riveted, fas-
cinated, Judge Eaton simply bowed
as the woman made a request to
speak in behalf of her husband.
Let me plead for him, let me tell
my story!" she cried. Guilty or in
nocent, give me the opportunity to
show that he Is more sinned against
than SHINING"
"Object!" cried the attorney for the
state.
"Overruled," came mandatorily from
the lips of the Judge, and the
abashed attorney stood petritied at
this distinct violation of precedent
| and usage.
Then, as one in a dream, the Judge
sat with bent head, his hand gripped
to hold steady the nerves that had
hitherto been as iron, disrupted at the
sight Of a face he had not seen for
eighteen long and bitter years.
1t was a pitiful story the woman
told, Of reckless man with loyal,
patient wife. He had been deceived
by bad companions. LII the midst Of
poverty temptation had come. Look
at him-a consumptive, a physical
wreck. The doctors, she said, had
given him up to die, his span Of life
was limited. The vivid eloquence of
this faithful helpmeet brought tears
to the eyes of nearly every person in
the courtroom.
AS in daze the judge listened to
the arguments that followed. AS in
a dream he went back in his life
twenty years. The only woman in
whom he had ever been interested
was this woman. He had known her
as Lucille Danvers. He worshiped her
at distance. She had married Rem
stone-he had never forgotten.
And now, in her forlorn plight she
had revealed herself as the wife OF
the man whose name the judge had
almost forgotten.
1t seemed that practical, loveless
years crumble like putty at that sin
gle appealing glance from the eyes OF
the worn, weary woman, SO changed
from the lovely, artless girl who had
never known that he loved her. He
had never attached any blame to her,
for he had never spoken the word that
might have won her. And now her
life's happiness was at stake. And
now-the great judge arraigned the
hollow, lonely life he led, and-de-
cided.
Conviction was in the faces of the
turymen, triumph in that of the attor
ney for the state. The prisoner sat
white and shrunken, despair in his un-
happy eyes. The eloquence of his
wifes appeal had dissipated under its
keen dissection by the prosecutor.
Then came the charge of the Judge to |
the jury.
In CONSERVATION friends of the
judge listened to his charge; the pros
ecuting attorney heard, appalled,. The |

to the man who had sent him on the

gratitude in the wife's eyes. It was
the last flicker of hope in q broken,

A few minutes after Judge Eaton
had entered his chambers the next
morning, two associate judges came
to him. They looked serious and
troubled.

"MAN'S BEST FRIEND"
SERVES WAR PURPOSE
Dogs Replace Greek Sentries and in
Paris Render Valuable Aid
to the Police
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
After several attempts had been made
to damage the railways used for the
transportation of Greek troops into Tur-
kish territory, dogs were employed to
guard the lines, the Greek government
being unable to spare soldiers to the
purpose. The results were excellent. At
Larissa in particular the entire railroad
line was efficaciously protected by dogs.
So much interest has been aroused in
Europe over this new use for dogs and
the success of the experiment, that re-
ports have been officially asked for by
the various European military author
tiles concerning the special training of
the dogs.
For several years perfectly trained
police dogs have been found invaluable
in Paris, and they have been assigned
to important duties. All along the banks
If a careless passenger or an unwary
boatman falls off one of the many boats
and barges plying constantly up and
down the Seine, one of the big, beautiful
Newfoundland river guard bounds into
the water to the rescue, barking to give
the alarm, and often swimming with the
limp body to the shore. Even the bridges
the Seine bridges many despairing men
and women leap into the river hoping
thus to end their misery.
1t is now believed that countless rail-
road wrecks due to deliberate design
during labor troubles could be precented
IL railroad sections were policed by dogs.
Their efficacy in this duty has been un-
questionably proved in the Balkan war.
Dogs are now used to escort prison.
ers to and from jail in Paris. They will
courageously attack their energy even
when fired upon, as a notorious bandit
found to his cost during a recent strug-
gle to escape while being conveyed to
trial. This is a result obtained by care
full training.
How to defend his master is another
Important lesson taught the police dog.
The dog must snarl and bite as soon
as an attempt to hold up his master is
made. In this the police dog Is develop
