Nothing personal, 1 assure you,"
answered Kent with mock courtesy.
I've already explained that he will
not arrest you. But you're the sus-
pect, and if you were put out of the
way every one would believe you the
murderer. There would be a perfume

would be hushed up, and the body in

tone was soft as a woman's; but Sedg-

half-breed, too, felt the peril of that
determination; for he hung his head.
I've brought you here to show you

Sound as was his condition, Sedg-

at that distance, an excellent simulac-

ing in a chair. Bidding the artist
stay outside the copse, Kent entered

How Pictures Are Made.
First, the home plate is pictured with
a catcher clad in breast protector, bird
cage mask and shin guards; behind the
bat taking the preliminary benders
from the pitchers. Then a batter
walked to the plate, hit it once with
his Eastwood bat planted his feet
firmly within the rectangle Of white
wash and slammed at the ball. If he
hit, the picture shifted to first base,
where the runner was shown beating
out the hit or being retired. If there
was man On first, he was seen to run
frantically to second before the hitter
reached the white circle of light repre-
senting the camera focus around first

One of the interesting things brought
out by the camera is the hook slide,
which the runners invariably use in
