possible. The products of Beaufort
Lodge are now sent to Verbeke street
market where they occupy a couple of
stalls.
Mr.. Mitchell states that he not only
intends to make a study Of soils and
crops and fruits and vegetables, but
also study of markets, sending his
products wherever there is demand
for it, In other words he will keep
posted on the localities that are short

duce in market over-glutted, he will
ship it to points where it is needed and
where it will yield fair return for his
labor and time. He will also make a
study of Harrisburg demands and try
to meet shortages in supply here,
making a specially of this latter fea-
ture.

Jury, however Elmer WhitcOmb,
from a distant town, who from the
first had settled in his own mind that
Winston was a victim of circumstan-
tiai evidence. Perhaps his sympathy
for the pure-faced, gentle-souled wife
influenced him. Perhaps a constant
sight of the distressed sister of Win
sten, always in tears, always by the
side of her imperiled brother, moved
the pity of Elmer Whitcomb more
than he knew. Her lovely eyes,
moUrnful, beseeching, stirred his
soul. It seemed as if her presence
brought new and hitherto unknown
element into his life, which had been
a lonely, loYeless one, working the
home farm of his aged parents out
of debt.
And then there was another vast
influence that moved this man to the
depths when that name, Arthur
VaiIle, was mentioned. A queer, con-
fusing thought haunted his brain. He
had heard it before where? When?
Finally, though dimly, it. seemed to
him that during a visit to the city
several weeks ago, some IT1end nad
spoken that name, had mentioned
that he had received a letter from
him. Which one of perhaps half a
dozen city acquaintance it was,
Whitcomb could not decide. Perhaps
it was Vagary of his mind. Had not
the defense advertised far and wide
for this missing witness? Still, GER
tain sense of deep responsibility in the
premises oppressed Whitcomb.
'"The jury is dismissed until morn
ing, when 1 will deliver instructions,
spoke the somber judge as the prose-
cutting attorney concluded his argu
ment.
The courtroom was dim and shad- |
owy, for dusk had come on. AS they |
filed out of the doorway Whitcomb |
felt his hand caught in a warm, quiV- |
ering clasp.

arose more compelling than ever be-
fore him.
The jury were taken to their hotel.
After supper, in charge Of a court
deputy, they began the usual evening
walk for exercise. 1t had grown
dusk. AS they passed down an un-
lighted street Elmer Whitcomb car
ried out plan he had formed in his
mind. He struggled behind, slipped
down a dark alley and, UnObserYed,
disappeared.
There was a great commotion in
Fairfield the next day. Such thing
as a deserving juryman had never
been heard of before.

law!'' pronounced the indignant
prosecuting attorney.
when Whitcomb comes up for
contempt of court it won't seem so
funny to him, maybe" added the
sheriff.
They searched for Whitcomb, but
did not find him. Verona Winton re-
ceived a note, brief, unsigned, but she
guessed who had sent it and kissed
the single word it contained: 'Hope"
Of course a verdict could not be
legal with only eleven jurymen. 1t
would take a month before the slow
machinery of the law could bring up
the case anew. 1t was a grateful re-
spite for the prisoner.
Five weeks later, just as the new
Jury had convened, Elmer Whitcomb
walked quietly into the courtroom
and approached. the bar of justice.
