"Crispi, since you have admitted
your guilt, there are certain things
you can clear up in this case that the
court deems OF interest to both JUS
tice and science. I might add that
the court will be disposed to deal len
iently with you if your answers are
satisfactory. In the first place, did
you cut the pane Of glass from Bern

"I did," answered the prisoner.

the word Of my witnesses is just as
good as those Of any you can confront
me with
His candor and cool effrontery was
refreshing to say the least. He was
cocksure he had surrounded himself
with an unassailable alibi and the
worst part of it was that knew it
too. 1t would require mighty level
headed jury to digest this finger print
evidence, especially where there was
nothing else to back it up with, but
nevertheless T realized We had to
make a beginning some time so no
time was better than the present. My
reputation was at stake and the repu-
tation Of the new Identification sys-
TEN, as well, so was confronted with
a mighty weighty problem.
My first duty was to ascertain just
how strong an alibi Crispi had built
up and then to see if the character OF
his witnesses was such that it would
carry weight with jury. Crispi said
he had been at a. certain theatre on
the night of the robbery. He men
toned the names of those who were
with him and each and every one
bore. out this contention. Further
more, / learned that severs! Of the
party were known to the theatre at
tendants and they, too, were equally
positive that Crispi had been one of
the party. Crispi's wife swore that
her husband had retired when she
did on the night Of the robbery. She
added that he was sound asleep when
she arose in the morning and that
she allowed him to sleep undisturbed
until she had prepared his breakfast.

appalling. and by all accounts the
heaviest losses were inflicted by the
German machine guns. All along

One French battalion-which
means at least one thousand men
lost all but four OF it's officers and
all but 10S men. One French regi-
ment was annihilated, the command
er himself saying that 1000 men fell
on the field. The rest were taken
prisoners. One day a German Off
Ger came in with the report that in a
space Of 1900 yards broad and 200
yards deep where an attack had been
thrown back LOO lay dead.
The number Of wounded is equally
overwhelming. One afternoon I was
riding through French town where
the streets are steep and irregular
and I passed prefecture or some
other government building which
stood perhaps twenty feet below the
roadway.

the court yard Of the building-a

Black Dancing Frocks.

The dancing frock of taffeta. maruui-
sette. chiffon, tulie, net and lace in
plain black is quite the smartest thing.
Not only are they used separately, but
also in combination. The skirts are
made in rufties, tiers and long over
skirts. as well as in full gathered and
pleated forms. Two or three thickness
es of tulle are sometimes used in the
double skirt having drop of jet, bead
ed net. sequins or lace. These dresses
have no suggestion of color, even in
the trimmings, the simmer of jet and
af sequins being the only relief from the
duh black of the materials. They are
youthful in style. however, and extreme
in design. The skirts are very short
and full. They have pleated tuIle caps
over the shoulders or flowing angel
sleeves of chiffon or net Soft. draped
sa shes of tulle are hung from the
waistline and caught into the folds of

or supper The nreat of all pies should
first be partly cooked. because it needs
long, slow cooking and the pastry does

pieces of convenient size, add salt and
pepper, and moisten with stock. Add
little chopped parsley, cover with a
dish or tin and place in the oven. one
may have a great variety OF these meat
pies
Beefsteak Pie.
Cut the steak into thin strips and
roll each strip round little piece of
fat which has been literally sprinkied
with salt and pepper. and Il little chop
ped parsley and celery salt, or use fat
for half the number of rolls and bacon
for the others. Rub the pie dish with Il
slice of onion. Now pack the rolls
moisten with gravy or stock and partly
cook while YOU make the pastry.
For plain pie use three fourths Of a
pound OF STEAK, four pounds Of kidney.
six ounces OF potatoes sliced. two
ounces of macaroni and one hard boiled
egg. Partly cook the kidney and put il
through the. grinder and spread it on
the beef before rolling. Pack the rolls
tightly to keep them in place. and put
the other ingredients in layers, and
when well baked you will have de-
licious pie.
Veal and Ham Pie.
One may use veal outlet for this and
the pie is vastly improved by the addi-
tion of macaroni, hard boiled eggs and
bacon. Otherwise veal and ham pie
is made the same as any other pie.
Chicken Pie.
Steam chicken lightly for a pie, re-
move the breast and wing slices, and
take the meat off the legs and all the
pickinss. Use 4 little bacon and much
macaroni and egg TO fill up.
To bake any OF these pies IA moder-
ate oven is needed If the crust seems
TO be browning too much, protect with
creased paper. y cup of stock or
gravy is about enough to use. using
