Another hesitation. Did the fore
man feel the threat lurking In the air

A growl from the crowd, almost like
that Of a beast stirring in its lair.
then a quick cessation Of all hubbub
as every one turned to the Judge to
whose one-sided charge they attrib-
uted this release.
Deborah experienced in her quiet
| corner no alienation Of the fear which
had brought her into this forbidding
spot and held her breathless through
these formalities.
For the end was not yet. Through
all the turmoil of noisy departure and
the drifting out into the square Of q
vast, dissatisfied throng. she had
caught the flash Of a bit Of paper chow
introduced into this moving mass OF
people no one rel knew passing
, from hand to hand, toward the soil
tary figure OF the Judge. It's delay a.
it reached the open space between the
last row of seats and the judges
bench and its final delivery by some
| officious hand, who thrust It upon his
notice Just as he was rising to leave.
Deborah saw his finger tear its way
through the envelope and his eyes fall
frowningly on the paper he drew out.
Then the peoples counsel and the
counsel for the defense and such
| clerks and hangerson as still fingered
in the upper room experienced a de-
cided sensation.
The Judge, who a moment before
had lowered above them all In mel
ancholy but impressive dignity, shrunk
with one gasp into feebleness n
sank back stricken. II not uncon-
scious. into his chair.
1t happened suddenly and showed
her the same figure she had seen once
before-a man with faculties sus-
pended, but not impaired, facing them
all with open gaze but absolutely dead
for the moment to his own condition
and to the world about.
But, horrible as this was, what she
saw going on behind him wal infinite
ly worse. A man had caught up the
bit Of paper Judge Ostrander had let
fall from his hand and was opening
his lips to read 1t to the curious people
surrounding him.
She tried to stop him. She forced
a cry to her lips which should have
rung through the room, but which
died away on the air unheard. The
terror which had paralyzed her limbs
had choked her voice.
But her ears remained true, Low as
he spoke, no trumpet-call could have
made its meaning clearer to Deborah

FOUGHT TO DEATH OVER PIG
Possession Of Porker the Cause Of
Sharp skirmlsh Between Ger.
mans and French.

Even pigs figure sometimes in the
news from the front and. as might be
expected. in somewhat Of a comlcal
light. But, says a Paris dispatch. they
have caused q tragedy also. One pig
was the cause Of a battle in which 80
Germans were killed and another was
made to pose as a corpse to save him
from the enemy.
In Ban-dc-Sapt, north of Saint Die.
both French and Germans from their
trenches soi,d out q fine fat porker in
a pen. Just between the two lines. Both
formed parties to 80 out and capture
the porcine delicacy. but the French
reached there first. They fastened a
rope about the animals hind legs and
dragged him back to their trenches
with the Germans close behind.
So heated did the controversy over
the pig become that 1t finally de-
veloped into a night battle in which
sides the 80 dead. a number OF
wounded.
The other pig had just been killed
by a farmer in Flanders when it was
reported that the Germans, always
eager for such titbits as fresh pork,
we're near at hand. Determined to
save his property, the quick-witted Bel
gian took the carcass to his room
tucked 1t in his bed. placed candles
over the sheeted form and was pray
ing fervently when a German soldier
entered the room. The soldier tip
toed out when he discovered that hi
had come upon a chamber Of death.
