ly. He gathered that some similar
must have robbed him of that
hrst memory. 1t was a case of alter
mating memory. For twelve years he
had been another man, except for the
name only. He found that he adored
Lucy, a simple, mountain girl, who
trusted him implicitly. He had been
perfectly rational when he went out
to the valley. Nobody had suspected
that the Roger Latham of those days
was not the Roger Latham who had
always been.
With the sweetness of this new life
about him, Latham asked nothing bet,
ter than to live out the remainder of
his years in those surroundings. The
misery of the life in the East was
fresh and painful. Nevertheless-what
of Marian? How had she Jared? How
had he come to leave her? Where
did his duty lie?
Lucy" he said one day, when he
had recovered, 81 am going East upon
business. l shall be gone a month.
Do not be lonely, dear"
mo, Roger" she answered simply.
1t did not occur to her to question
him. And he left her sadly, conscious
that he might eve set eyes upon her
again.
In New York he put up at a small
hotel. First he went to the offices of
the great corporation of which he
had once been manager. He had
owned a controlling interest in this,
and would have been president, but
for his youth. He sent his card in to
the manager, and a dapper little Sec
rotary came out.
Il want to see Mr.. Latham" he
said.
The secretary looked blankly at
him. Il thought you wished to see
the manager" he answered.
Mr. Latham is not the manager?'
Il heard of him"
But he owns a controlling interest
In the business"
You must excuse me-" said the
secretary. and withdrew.
Nobody knew anything of Latham.
At his bank he found that the off,
Gals had all died or retired, or trans
ferred their activities. At the house
which had been his he found a strang-
err. who curtly refused him informa-
ton.
Then he thought of his lawyer, old
Harry Flynn, his best friend in his
college days, when he had stood be-
tween him and an irate father. He |
hardly expected that the old man
would be alive. but the office boy in
formed him that Mr.. Flynn would see
him. He had sent in no card. When
he entered the old mans office recog-
milton was mutual.
Flynn shook hands with him. "Sit

Educators, Responsibility.

When W. elected to be directors of
secondary education rather than teach
ers of special subjects We accepted as
our main task tho guidance of youth
to life and the development of true
ideals of conduct in that life. We
must not shirk u responsibility.
Much as we may love science or our
language, and necessary as study Is
to their successful presentation, our
great problem is to familiarize our
selves with the vacations of today, that
we become fit guides not only to finan.
cial success but to character success
in these fields.-W. H. Eddy, President

New Idea in concrete WORK.

A concrete pile has recently been
invented which possesses important
advantages over the kind formerly
used. 1t is driven by boring its own
hole with a stream of water elected
with considerable force at it's point
Water at a pressure of $50 pounds is
forced through the iron pipe forming
the core of the pile, cutting a hole as
the pile descends, The water dis.

TEcHNIcALlrIEs OF THE INDICTMENT.

The average man will eve realize what a extremely technical paper
the indictment is, and how the rules in it must be observed against all com
mon sense. 1t is one of these rules that the venue-the place where the
crime is said to have been commtted-must be stated in the Indictment and
must be proven at the trial. In Campbell county, Virginia, a prisoner named
Anderson al put o IN trial for murder. The evidence showed that the murder
took place at Andersons store, about onequater of a mile from Lynches
Station. The indictment did not Ia the murder va committed at Lmches
Station and that Lynches Station as in Campbell county. 1t was So we'll
known to everybody that Lynches Station was in Campbell county that it
never occurred to anyone formally to introduce evidence in proof Of that
fact Nevertheless this a a violation Of the rules, and the supreme court
reversed the verdict holding that 1t would o. take judicial notice that

reason why he should be regarded as an
incompetent person to run an elevator
This is the decision that has just been

fetal leg. Because of this physical in
trinity it was alleged that Mr. Bradstreet
was not fit to run the elevator
Mr. Wing was injured in Auburn on
Dec. s. 1913 At that time the defendants
and Mr.. Wing was one Of their employees.
In the work an elevator was used for
carrying material and workmen up and
down the building. Usually an engineer
operated this elevator and he received
signals by means Of bell.
On the day in question Mr.. Wing and
several other men. four in all, got aboard
the elevator on the third floor and one of
the other men pushed the bell button
twice. the signal for the elevator to come
down empty. Mr. Bradstreet was at the
time relieving the regular operator and
when he received the two bells he allowed
the elevator the usual freedom. He no.
ticed that it came down faster than it
should and attempted to slow it up but
without success. The elevator hit the
ground hard and Mr.. Wing was injured

was held at the January. 1915, term of the
