Historic Tree Cut Down.

The old Court" tree on Kingsbor-
ough hill, in the center of the Isle OF
Sheppey, has been cut down. For
hundreds Of years courts were held
under the tree verey Whit Monday,
only being discontinued in 1856, when
the Kings ferry was replaced by a
bridge. From time immemorial the
annual general court and law day in
the kings name" was held before the
steward of Kingsborough, and the
homage was there sworn. for the
choice of the constable, who held jul
risdiction over the Island of Sheppey.
The election of ferry warden and fer.
ryman took place under the old tree,
and matters relating to the ferry be-
tween Sheppey and the mainland were
here discussed. 1t is believed that
courts were held at the very spot on
Kingsborough hill from the earliest
Saxon times.--London Mail.

1t is useless, dangerous and unnec-

promptly and surely relieve all such

Croxone masters these troubles be.

stopped-up, inactive kidneys, through
the membranes and Innings; cleans
out the little filtering glands; neutral
ICES and dissOlves the poisonous uric
acid and makes the kidneys filter and
sift from the blood the waste and poi
sonous matter that clog the system
and cause such troubles.
1t does not matter whether you have
but slight symptoms or chronic, ag.
gravated case, it is practically impos-
sible to take Croxone without results.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trifle, and all druggists are
authorized to return the purchase

Taking of the finger print system
for the Identification Of criminals, a
Scotland Yard detective remarked the
other day that, although no system is
infallfble. the police, given a finger
print of a man who has been through
their hands, will tell you who he is in
nine hundred and ninety-nine cases
out of a thousand. Furthermore, it
Is a matter of Indifference to the Eng
Iish police by which finger or thumb
the print Is made; 1t can be easily
traced. It was pointed out that in
France the police depend TO a great
extent on physical measurement for
Identification, but while measure
ments are always taken by Scotland
Yard. they are only regarded as of
secondary Importance.

CHAPTER XII.
DESTROYING a Fleet.

1t was we'll past dawn when Holton
awoke. He was in panic of fear that
he had permitted valuable time to
elapse. He rose to his feet stif1y and
broke through the bushes until the
blue sea lay beneath him. His eyes
were strained to the left, where the
stern Of the flagship was swinging to-
ward him. He noticed black smoke
belching from the tunnels. Evidently
the New York was leaving her station
when the ships of the enemy were pre-
pairing to come out Of the harbor
where they had been bottled up for
so long.
Cold sweat stood out upon Holton's
forehead, and, hastily throwing aside
his coat and tearing off his shirt, he
took from beneath it a white signal
flag, which he had carried around his
body for days against just this emer-
gency.

dead dog on his knees and had one
hand on the animals head, while hold
ing in the other hand some bread with
which he had been feeding it. A third
was sitting with his eyes open and
his head turned toward the storm
