Use Dogs to Protect Town.

Glen Ridge, n. j.. March 22-Testf-
mony to the efficiency of police dogs Is
given in the annual report of Milton
Whitley. chairman Of the police com
mittee of the borough council of this
city. There were but three burglaries
here In the last year.
The knowledge that these trained
dogs patrol the streets at night Is
known to the underworld, Mr.. Whitley
says, and it deters burglars from oper-
ating there. In the night the dogs are
freed from leash and prowl through
lawns and gardens.
Recently II of the dogs pursued two
burglars and, running between the legs
of one of the men. upset him. The dog
gave his barking signal and stood over
the man until the arrival Of a police
man. The dog then took up the chase
and ran down the second man.

EGYPT. climat. B. chanaina.

London. March 21.-The climate a,
Egypt has been changing In a remark
able manner In the last few years.
Rain fell In torrents In Alexandria dur

the new sultan.
Such a happening half a century aga
would have been regarded as a pba.
nomenon, but rain now falls in places
where 1t had never been known ~
fall before i'm many centuries, and
more rain is falling where only very
little or merely dew once aided the
farmers.
The English are believed to be re-.
sponsible for the rain, with their new
channels for spreading over the land
the waters of the Nile. Just as the
plantation Of trees In a desert will
bring rain so is Egypt now a moister
place because Of the extension Of cul.
tivated lands.
But II is not likely that western civ.
ilization will destroy the wonderful
dryness Of the Egyptian air.

PROLOGUE &.

The Office OF foreman on the jury in
the People versus Emory case falls to
the lot of Mr.. Lambert. a literary man.
whose qualifications lay in his absolute
ignorance of the case. Ferris Barstow,
n man of tenacious tendencies. Is the
lawyer for the accused girl. Alice En-
Dry. former private secretary of Greg
DRY SLaw, who was found murdered
m~ysteriously in his home. In present
ing 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. The fore
nan, homeward bound, assists Barbara
Frayne. a young horsewoman, and un-
willingly listens to a declaration on the
Emory case. Barbara believes Miss
Emory TO be innocent. The foreman
visits the scene of the murder. View
Ing the home from the outside. he over

Field. another servant, to forget all
about a blue skirt she had seen the
former put in the furnace. At this mo-
ment Barstow's assistant. Mr.. Hunt,
visits the women In an effort to get
them to leave the neighborhood where
their testimony might injure the ac-
cused. The trial opens. Lambert forces
valuable testimony from the architect
who had drawn the plans for the Shaw
house. Gilbert produces evidence that
forged Shaw checks were made out to
the order of Alice Emory. 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 murder and
that Miss Emory was not there. Soon
thereafter Lambert is approached in
a dark lane by a man who Lambert be-
lieves is Barstow's assistant, Hunt, but
who calls himself Gilbert's assistant
and gives the name Corning. This mar
tries to worm from Lambert his reason
for desiring to leave the jury, but fails.

He proves to be Hunt in disguise. The
defendant is led into the court leaning

Bayne, a juror, characterizes 1t as
"sham" to Lambert. Gilbert produces
evidence to show Shaw swore he was
unmarried. Barstow and Gilbert have
many tits, and the latter has the
courtroom locked while he examines
Madeleine Mapes about the blue skirt
which Miss Emory gave her. The
testimony further duplicates Miss EN-
DRY. Barstow next takes the witness
and tries to place suspicion on her. He
questions her so viciously that Miss
Emory protests. This he ignores. and
in her anger his client rises. He at
