was arrested and duly committed for
trial. + s e n ~ fs$s
Some said the rifle was still hot,

the case seemed SO clear that this

There might have been time for the

What was obvious was that Howard,

AS said, gentlemen, 1t was Lorna
Bright who insisted that I undertake
I her cousins defense. She had been
in the house at the time Of the muir

i her cousin was guiltless. 81 ssss
Towards story was that he had
come home on Thanksgiving eve, to
seek q reconciliation that he had
brought an old rifle he had taken
away, with a view Of joining his father
duck shooting on the Potomac, a sport
ito which the old man was very partial,
and in which he always used a rifle.
AS you know, duck shooting with,
rifles is the supreme test Of marks

yards OF the house. however, he heard

mans innocence by my first interview

his client is guilty, and Towards
quiet protestations, joined to Lorna's
pleas, set me to racking my brains
to discover the real murderer. OF
course assumed that Jones was the
guilty man. Jones was at this time
living in cabin about fifteen hundred
yards from the sight of. old Brights
house He was known as a good shot;
at was barely possible that he had Ia
ken advantage Of Towards arrival to
pay OF old scores and throw the onus
of guilt upon an innocent man. 1T
r Yet there seemed no way in which
Jones could be trapped. He had no
rifle. SO far as anyone was aware, and,
lif he had had, it would have been Inn
possible to discover the calibre Of
the bullet, which had torn a jagged
hole through. the skull and passed out
near, the nape Of the neck.
All at once I had an idea. The
body had not yet been buried, though
the inquest was over. It occurred to

After the colt has been weaned he
should be supplied with all the good

of the ration, and it may be made more
palatable and digestible by pouring
boiling water over them and allowing
them to stand in a closed vessel a few

Apples Nipped by Frost.

Apples nipped on the trees by early
frosts may be saved by spraying with
cold water to draw out the frost. This
is the conclusion Of Dr.. S. ]. Hunter,
professor of entomology Of the Univer-
ity Of Kansas and state entomologist
for that state, who conducted several
experiments this fall in the experiment
tai orchards of the university. If the
water is applied before the apples be-
gin to thaw, he says, the bloom Of the
apple is brought back and it is left
in perfect condition. g
