For an hour he waited the pleasure
of the doge, then was admitted TO his
sovereign's presence.
He found the sovereign surrounded
by courtiers who were f1attering and
fawning upon him, for that was time
when the Venetian sovereign possessed
almost unlimited power. Even after
entering the presence chamber Anto-
neln was kept waiting for some time
before being given an audience, and
every moments delay was one OF tor
ture to him. At last, after the doge
had listened to a long and very duh
story from a buffoon, he received Anto-

that your aunt owns dog OF the
rarest breed in Venice. have sent for
you to offer her through you any price

that my aunt, when apprised of your
royal wish, will present the dog to

the steps he leaped upon them and
hurried into the house. In the dining
room he found his aunt and sweet

the dog that was coveted by the doge.
Antonelli heaved sigh of relief.
He was told that the dog had eat

Signora Caracola, If she suspected poi

it. but who was not permitted TO take
her place there. At any rate, they
called on the bride and invited her to
tea. Then she fell Ill, and they car
ried dainty things to her. They even
insisted on taking her and her hus-
band to their home. where they could
make them more comfortable.
The little bride gladly accepted the
invitation, and her husband was
pleased to have her do so, especially
since he dreaded to have her remain
in such dilapidated quarters. As for
himself, he remained where he was
except when in attendance upon his
wife OF course everything the couple
did was known and discussed. When
1t was learned that the groom had de-

One day a letter came for the bride

A Story Of
Old Venice
By F. A. Mitchell

"signor Antonelli. you are summoned
TO attend the doge."
The order was given by one Andrea
Carpenti, courder at the palace. An
tonelll had left the dining room of his
dwelling on the grand canal and has
tened to his drawing room to receive
the doges messenger.
II will go with you in a moment"
he said to Carpenti, and, returning to
the dining room, he finished what he
had been doing when interrupted. A
light luncheon, consisting of few bis
cults and a small glass pitcher of white
wine. was on the table, evidently plac-
ed there for some one who was ex-
pected to partake Of 1t. Antonelli drop
ned powder on the biscuit, and since
both powder and biscuit were white
the former was not noticeable. Then
he retoined Carpenti, and the two
passed out on to the porch, washed by
the waters of the canal, entered a
eondola and set out for the palace OF
st. Mark.
On the way they met gondoh In
which sat young lady who hailed
Antonelli and asked:
.Is your aunt at home this morning,
signor7"
"She Is" replied Antonelli.
I'm going to lunch with her"
By this time the gondolas passed
without the range Of hearing.
II must go back" said Antonelh.
"Why SOP asked Andrea.
II have forgotten something"
1.-THE doge directed me to bring you
to him without delay"
"Hodw cried Antonelli to the Condo
her
Proceed" said Andrea. Since you
must make choice between your be-
trothed and the doge you must give
preference to your sovereign"
Turn aboutw cried Antonelli, now
white as a cloth, to the gondolier. Start
Ing up, he was about to seize the pole
from the man when Andrea threw his
arms about him and held him. Andrea
was much the stronger, and In his
clutch Antoneli was powerless.
Come, signor," said the former;
don't forget that If 1t were reported 10
the doge that after starting to obey his
summons you turned back TO be with
your sweetheart 1t might cost you your
head. l am befriending you in pre-
venting your bringing misfortune upon
yourself and through yourself upon the
fair Signorina Marcia Copelli."
Through fear of offending his sover-
eign, who was enc of the most auto
cratic and terrible doges who ever rul-
ed Venice. Antonelli suffered himself
TO be mastered and continued the jour
ney. though it was evident that be was
racked by some dreadful emotion.
When the two arrived at the steps
that led up &c st. Marks place they
landed and after traversing an interval
assembled those steps that led and still
lead into the palace. Then. entering
an anteroOm. they waited till the SOW
ereign was ready TO receive them.

SOAKED OYSTERS.
Government Intends to Prevent Practice
of Increasing Bulk.

Washington. D. c., sept. 26.-With the
opening of the oyster season the food
and drug officials of the United States
department OF agriculture have given no.
tice to those who ship oysters in inter
state commerce that they Will continue
their active inspection to prevent snip
ment OF polluted oysters or shipment OF
shucked oysters that have been soaked to
increase their bulk This notice applies
also to dealers of oysters in the District
of Columbia and the territories, which
are directly under federal supervision.
Those in charge of this work report
that the oyster trade in general have
expressed desire to cooperate with the
department in securing grade OF oys-
tiers which are free from adulteratlon OF
any kind. Many have asked the depart
ment to suggest method of washing
oysters without swelling them to an ex-
tent that constitutes adulteration under
the regulations. The department be-
lieves that moderate washing Is PROB
ably necessary and desirable, but objects
to any kind of excessive washing when
increases the volume of the oysters to
an appreciate extent, either by permit
ting the oysters to remain IN the hqmd
and absorb the water by the so-called
pumping" method, or by the introduc-
ton OF an excess of free liquid in the
containers in which the oysters are
shipped. The departments answer to
such inquiries is that oyster dealers are
entirely able to determine for themselves
whether or not any particular method
of washing results in an appreciable in
crease in the volume of the oysters or
in the amount of juice that normally
should be present. Any method which
produces appreciate increases should be
discarded or modified. Any methods that
calls for soaking or washing for an ex-
cessive period excessive agitation IN
water for a short period, or incomplete
draining of the washed oysters should

Prosecutor Mcdaniel Held
for Crime He Laid
to Foes
ATTORNEY JOKES
WHEN ARRESTED
Wife of st. Joseph, Mo-, Dis
trict Attorney, Was
Shot in Bed

st. Joseph, Mo-, Sept 26.--Sensational
developments in the mystery that has
surrounded the finding of Mrs. Harriet
Moss Mcdaniel, wife of the prosecuting
attorney, dying in her home on July 10,
came Sunday night when her husband,
Oscar d. Mcdaniel was arrested on a
state warrant charging him with the
murder.
Mcdaniel took the arrest as a Joke
On the way to police headquarters he
asked for and obtained permission TO
buy cigars.
Special Prosecutor Bart Lockwood has
called for a special grand jury to hear
the charge at the fall term of criminal
court, which opened Yesterday. Lock
wood will ask for an indictment, alleg-
ing that Mrs. Mcdaniel had threatened
to sue for divorce and that her husband
killed her during quarrel.
Lockwood. who is now carrying on the
work which Mcdaniel himself handled,
alleged that the defendant had told his
wife he was going TO a. lodge meeting
on the night OF July IA. He was not
there, however. and upon returning home
about 10 o'clock was reproached by his
wife. She threatened proceedings and
quarrel followed, in which Mcdaniel
beat his wife to death, Lockwood
charges.
Mrs. Mcdaniel was found in bed dy-
ing as result of number of wounds
on her head, apparently inflicted by some
blunt instrument Her children slept
lundisturbed in an adjoining room. At
the coroner's inquest Mcdaniel, who
made the discovery, told story OF an
attack on his own life made the same
night and charged that law volators,
against whom he had been active. were
responsible. Mrs Mcdaniel never re-
ga med consciousness.
Accoring to McDaniel's story he was
called from his home late at night by
decoy telephone message When he got
down town he could find no one who
had sent for him and on his return TO
his garage was fired upon by some one
in hiding He said he returned the tre
and then ran into the house, where he
found his wife had been attacked.
Several persons have been detained in
connection with the case. but all were re-
leased for lack OF evidence Several
ANONYMOUS letters were received pur.
porting to acknowledge the crime and
giving rs a motive desire tor revenge
against the prosecutor. The authorship
OF these letters is now to be investigated.
Mcdaniel. on more than one occasion
before the death OF his wife, had public
Nv stated that threats had been made
against his life. He gave that as the
reason for carrying pistol. Until his
arrest Sunday he took an active part IN
the investigation Of the murder.

THE TOWN OF
HENRIETTA
By F. A. Mitchell

If one desires to see how fast the
world is moving on let him spend
few weeks in town that has stood
still. In Henrietta-named for the
Queen Of Charles |. of England-the
same social forms are In vogue that
were current In 1860. And even then
there was semblance Of the Formally

Patterson married a brother of the
great Napoleon. In introducing

Stackpoles, who were tabooed because
the founder of the family In America
had been a fugitive regicide,
One morning a young couple arrived
In Henrietta, evidently a bride and
groom, and within an hour after their
arrival had rented one of the houses
that had been long vacant owing 10

GOOD FORM IN TENNIS.
Don't Copy a Bad Style Because Some
Star Player Uses 1t.
+. II. Lovela nd.
County Agent,

Don't Copy a Bad Style Because Some
Star Player Uses It.
Good form ID tennis is hard TO de-
scribe. 1t is not necessarily the ability
to win matches, nor is 1t always the
most graceful way of hitting the ball.
II Is rather the method OF playing
those strokes that have been shown by
long experience to produce the best re
suits with the majority Of players.
One too often hears an ambitious
young player declare that any stroke
that wins is good enough for him. Be
cause Mclaughlin won internattona!
matches in spite of using a cramped
backhand swing they are willing to
COPY his style in the hope of equalins
his skill.
But success does not Justify bad
form. What Mclaughlin or Brookes
might do with a bad style of play Is
not always the best for others to at
tempt. Ten would fail with such meth
DDS where one would succeed, while
with good form ten would succeed
while one would fail.
A young player with generous fu-
ture before him might much better
select as a model of good form strokes
such as Johnston uses or those shown
by Larned. With such a model any
healthy, active boy should be able to
play tennis well after steady practice.
The game does not require height or
weight or any unusual physical qualifi-
cation.-J. Parmly Paret In st. Mich
