PROLOGUE.

The Office Of foreman OH the jury in
the People versus Emory cast falls to
the lot Of Mr.. Lambert, a literary man,
whose qualifications lay in his absolute
ignorance of the case. Ferris Barstow,
a man Of tenacious Tendencies, is the
lawyer OF the accused girl, Alice Emory,
former private secretary Of Gregory
Shaw, who was found murdered mys-
t%erlously in his home. In presenting
the case to the jury Deake Gilbert. the
prosecutor. explains the facts in detail,
and the evidence all points to the guilt
Of the accused. ln Diminishing the jul
rors for the day Judge Dudley admon-
h them to keep free from all discus
sion of the case. The foreman. home
ward bound, assists Barbara Trayne,
listens to a declaration on the Emory
case. Barbara is full of detestation for
the prosecutor because Of his belliyet-
emit attitude toward the accused, who
she feels Is innocent. The foreman Wis
Its the scene OF the murder. Viewing the
home from the outside, he overhears
Madeleine Mapes, the housekeeper,
~endeavoring to persuade Betty Field,
another servant. to forget all about a
blue skirt she had seer the former put
in the furnace. At this moment Bar.

women in an effort to get them to leave

supposing his forced eavesdropping
disqualities him from acting further as
a juror, seeks out Gilbert at Barbara
Frayne's home, but the prosecutor re-
fuses to listen to anything bearing on
the Emory case. Before court opens
next day he gets a hearing from Judge
Dudley, who despite everything or
ders that he uambert) remain on the
jury. The trial opens. and Gilbert ques-
tons the architect who had drawn the
plans for the Shaw house. Lambert
questions the witness and forces some
valuable testimony from him. Gilbert
suddenly warns up and produces evi-
dence that forged Shaw checks were
made out to the order of Alice Emory.
The prisoner faints, much to the con-
sternation Of the housekeeper, Made
le1ne Mapes, who thinks her dead. When
court adjourns Lambert gets a message
to call up % Pollicet and is told by
Miss Frayne that she occupied Miss
Emory's room on the night of the MUIR
der, and Miss Emory was not there.
Soon thereafter Lambert is approached
in a dark lane by a man who Lambert
believes is Barstow's assistant, Hunt,
but who calls himself Gilbert's assist
ant and gives the name Corning. This
a tries to worm from Lambert his
reason for desiring to leave the Jury,
but fails. He meets the real Corning
later. Barstow requests a delay in the
court proceedings because Of illness.

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T
That's the Way You Use Hy0mei, the
Safe Catarrh Remedy

The most pleasant, easiest, harmless
and the really sensible method for the
cure of catarrh is Hyomei which can
be had from any drug store. Just put
twenty drops of the liquid in the small
inhaler that comes with every complete
outfit-then breathe it. A few minutes
use almost instantly clears the head
and stops that annoying shifting.
When using Hyomei ever particle of
air that enters the breathing organs is
charged with an antiseptic, healing
balsam that destroys the catarrh germs
stops the unclean discharges from the
nose, relieves the irritation and
quickly heals the sore and inf1amed
tissues. The first days use of Hyo-
mel will show a decided improvement
no matter how distressing the trouble
Catarrh, which usually begins with
a neglected cold, often becomes a very
serious ailment, so don't wait but
start using Hyomei today-it is in
expensive and R. Hodgins always sells
it on the 'No-cure-no-pay" plan. 22-8
