The age-old questions are being

In his quarters in another part of
the Jail the man declined to discuss
the case except to say that he would
stick to the frail young woman and
protect her to the extent of his abil-

The romance that was shattered
when the police broke into the room
commenced when both young people
were students at college. There was

The man began paying attentions
to another girl whom he soon mar

The marriage was an unhappy one,
according to Miss Church, and the
couple soon separated.

 The thick door seemed to please his fancy immensely. An enormous spring was adroit- .y hidden by the hinges, such as would close the door violently and make it difficult to open without physical exertion. The con- eussion was bound to shake everything in the shack. Near the ceiling was small plat form about six ilfehes square. He propped open the door, took an empty bottle from his pocket and placed it upon this platform. When he liberated the door the slam of it toppled the bottle from it's perch and it broke into a thousand pieces on the stone slab below.

comic story, and you may be sure that Smith and Mrs. McWinter laughed heartily over 1t,
 The two men shouldered their guns, whis- tied for the dog, and set off on their hunt ing, trip. And only one of them returned alive Smith came back alone and was rather surprised to find neither McWinter nor the dog. They had separated in the woods near the shack, of which Smith ap- parrntly knew nothing. McWinter was miss ing all the next day. Tuesday morning they found him in the shack, strangely dead
 A very peculiar ease confronted the local authorities. There was one thing quite plain to them, however, and that was, McWinter had been murdered in a most cunning and diabolical manner. Naturally the coroner's inquest drew the net about Smiths feet. He had gone out hunting with McWinter and was the last man to see him alive. Then came the clerk, who swore that the bottle found in the shack was identical to that stolen from the laboratory, where both men worked. Smith, despite all protests, was held for the grand jury on the charge of murder in the first degree
 Other facts began to circulate Some one had heard McWinter accuse his wife of being too friendly with Smith, and out of this cal umny raised its ugly head. Here and there men began to mutter about Judge Lynch. And Mrs. McWinter was stunned by all those who had posed as her friends.
