tity.)
My dramatic appearance before the
military tribunal had been none ton
soon. In accordance with the usual
procedure the court had convened ut
six o'clock in the morning. In fact. at
the moment Of my appearance with
the proof OF Charles innocence the
judges were already preparing to ~
tire for the consideration of their vsr-
dict; and that verdict could have been
Of one nature alone.
My proofs threw an entirely new
complexion upon the affair. While in
sufficient to secure Charles immediate
acquittal, they we're of a nature SO
startling as they did.
three powers Of Europe and unwilling
an International conspiracy-that an
adjournment was Immediately OBJ
tanned. A week later, when the tri-
bunal reconvened. Charles was acquit-
ted with the merest formalities, his
sword restored to him. and, a little
subsequently, he received the coveted
legion Of honor from the presidents
hand.
He told me afterward that he had
never doubted the ultimate verdict of
the court; what had driven him almost
to frenzy was his inability to learn
anything concerning me. OF my wild
flight to Corsica he had been kept In
complete ignorance.
OF this. and the ensuing death of the
chief conspirators, they say told the
presiding judge in detail. But of all
that have not the least remembrance.
A violent attack of meningitis, the re-
suit Of the physical and mental dis
tress which had undergone, confined
me to my bed for weeks, during most
of which period was raving In de-
lirium. l lived over again and again
those awful scenes in Corsica and
aboard the yacht; and ever seemed
hurrying to catch a special train which
just eluded me at every station on
each railroad line of France.
When / opened my eyes at last to
consciousness they fell first upon
Charles mother. I was back in my
room In Clichy. and she was seated be-
side me, watching me with that anx.
ious and yet serene gaze which l had
learned to know during those arduous
days after my first arrival there. When
she saw recognition in my eyes she
began to weep quietly. She bent down
and pressed her lips to my forehead.
"Charles?" was my first word.
"Hush!" she said, smiling, and tip
toed softly out Of the room. A moment
later she reappeared. Charles at her
side. He knelt beside my bed and
raised my fingers to his lips. He was
attired in his complete uniform; un.
derstood the meaning Of that. There
was no need to ask the judges verdict

all cattle be dipped in order to
free the stock of the tick which
cost annually thousands Of dol
lars. It will be remembered the
Grand Jury indicted more than
one. hundred of our citizens who
had failed to comply with the
Law. On Monday some twenty
were arraigned before the Court
and plead guilty and Judge Simon
sentenced them accordingly:
"Under ordinance of the Police
jury passed during ril-October
1915, to pay a fine of $1,000 and
costs or in default of payment to
be imprisoned in the Parish Jail
for period Of thirty days. By
authority vested in the Court the
above fines are hereby suspended
during the balance of the dipping
season, providing the parties ac-
cused shall zip their stock regr-
larlv by Law during the. balance
of the dipping season and pro-
vided should the parties or either
of them failstQ dip as re4nired by
Lay, .tkn Peesee 81 q Sarned, !.
lately report him to the Sheriff
who shall Immediately collect the
fines and all cOsts.''
This it will be noted makes it
imperative that no further viola
tions take place as the Court in
tends to see that the Law is strict
ly enforced in the future. Al
great many of our cattle owners
are under the impression that the
ordinance as drawn up by the
Police Jury is one that will not
hold, in this they might be right.
but now that there is .1egisla-
tive Act passed by the recent
Legislature making the dipping

way of getting around the question

SECOND VERDICT

Sioux Falls. Jan. 1.-THE federal
court jury in the damage suit of Mrs.
Clara T. Armour. of Cherokee. IA.
against Mrs. Mabel T.. MCGOWAN, a
widow of Milbank, S. D., returned a
verdict awarding Mrs. Armour dam
ages TO $4,000 for the alienation of
her husbands affections. Mrs. Ar
mour sued for $4,000.
The attorneys for the defendant
made exceptions 10 the entry of judg-
ment and asked for a stay OF ninety
days for the purpose OF bringing a
motion for a new trial.
This was the second trial of the
case. At the first trial Mrs. Armour
vas given damages OF S25. 1000. but
Judge Elliott, Of the United States
court, granted a new trial on the
ground that the amount awarded was
excessive. A second verdict for the
same amour may play an important
part in determining whether or not a
third trial OF the case shall be
granted.
