Even a thing, SO lightly regarded

The child who fails, the child

To save money, to permit our
school system to fulfill it's high

may not parents demand that great

Sure? Of course I'm sure. One window was open, yes. The one to the left hand side of the room, but the other one, the one through which I had heard the talk, was closed. I'm dead sure of it-dead sure."
 Miss Hale, you say you were one of the first to enter the room Will you describe exactly what you saw?" Langdon moved nearer to her. and himself listened attentively.
 T saw the body of Dave Pollock ly- ing face down on the floor with a drib- ble of blood coming from under him, and little ways off Mary Page lying in a dead faint, with her face all twisted up, like a person with stroke MT. Langdon was lifting her up in Lis arms. Daniels was there, and the pret- ty boy that played the lead in the Page company. There was one of the hotel officials too."
 The memory of the ghastly scene did not disturb her at all. She was as calm as though she had been enter taining visitors at home.
 But you did NOT see, did you, the short man whom Pollock had beer haranguing few moments before? ? The question was sharp and direct.
 NO. Unless it was either you, MT Langdon, or MT. Daniels. There wal no other man there whom it could have been."

Eiuhtino Iocusta.

Modern methods to defeat an ancient enemy were employed with extraordi- nary success in Costa Rica. The coun- try was invaded by an army of To- custs. Ordinary methods were employ ed to combat the pest without avail. Then a state of actual war was de clared against the insects. Cannon loaded with sand were wheeled into advantageous positions and the invad- ing army literally bombarded. Rockets, asphyxiating gases and gunpowder were also used, but the greatest sue cess was obtained with the sand. At the time of the first invasion of the country by the locusts they were ap- parently in comparatively small num- bers, so that they were speedily driven across the boundaries into Nicaragua Active defense preparations were then made. and when the original invading army. heavily re-enforced. made its second appearance two months later the Costa Ricans were ready and lit erally blew the insects from the face of the earth.

Nature Study.

Animals that hunt are not only "front eyed" but also have front nostrils, with noses especially fitted by their hat tips and the openings squarely in front, where they can be brought to bear upon the same spot of ground in concentrated attention in order to pick up delicate trace which human nos trils could not perceive. A dog trotD along, his nose close to the ground, and bends his course to the right or left as though tracing over some invisible chart by means of his power of scent. The dog is natural meat eater and if not supported by man must be a hunter, so his nose is the most impor- tant part of his outfit. as 1t is of the other front nostrils"-the wolf, tiger, lion, mink, weasel, etc.
 But the hunted are the ''side nos trils," eaters of vegetation, such as deer, rabbits, etc. These are keen scented, too, but their interest is less in knowing what animals passed be- fore them than in detecting those that may be approaching, so their nostrils run around to the sides, where they can read the message of each passing breeze and be warned of coming daoh ger.-Farm Journal

This Alpine Gap Is Famous Pathway
 For Great Armies.
 The mighty Brenner pass is the Ther- mopylae of Tyrol. From times imme- morial the northern tribes have sought the refnements and culture of the south over this wonderful Alpine sad dle, first in fame among all the gaps in the rugged Alpine defenses against the north, and a way which has echoed to the dying cries of warriors and clash ing accouterments of myriad Roman legions and to the noisy disorder of the passage of many armies through more than 2,O0O years of restless his tory.
 Innsbruck, the Tyrolean capital, is at the northern terminus of this way. while Botzen, the largely Latinized me tropolis of the south, lies $500 feet be- low. Innsbruck is exclusively of the northland, surrounded by plums, ap. ples and fir trees, and Botzen, like Italy beyond the mountains. is in the midst of a region of vines, figs and olives.
 Historic points crowd one another along the Brenner. Guidestones of the time of Caracalla and Septimius Seve- rus have been found buried here. Some of the worlds greatest generals have travelled this path, north and south. and here the Tyrolese peasant, An dreas Hofer, the simple, untaught Aus trian hero. proved himself greater than one of the best officers of Napoleon National Geographic Bulletin.

Kelly the Dandy.

Eccentrics have fiourished in every age, but possibly they were at their height in the days of George III. and the regency, when to be odd was con sidered fashionable. Take the case of Lieutenant Colonel Kelly of the (tss en) First Foot guards, who was very vain, emaciated looking dandy, but at the same time a gentleman. He was naughty in the extreme and very fond of dress. His boots were so well var nished that the polish now in use could not surpass Kelly's backing in brilliancy. His pantaloons were made of the finest leather, and his coats were inimitable. In short, his dress was considered perfect"
 Kelly was burned to death while trying to save his favorite boots, and the story goes that the dandies com peted among themselves to secure the services of his valet who knew the se-

SYNOPSIS.

Mary Page, actress, is accused of the
 1urder of David Pollock and is defended
 y her lover. Philip Langdon. Pollock
 7as intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad-
 nits she had the revolver. Her maid
 estifes that Mary threatened Pollock with it previously, and Mary's leading nan duplicates Langdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime is mystery Brandon tells of strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro- 1uces temporary insanity in Mary. The 3efense is "repressed psychosis." Wit nesses describe Mary's flight from her in toxicated father and her fathers suicide. Nurse Walton describes the Kidnapping of Mary by Pollock and Amy Barton tells ofTMary's struggles to become an actress and Pollocks pursuit of her. There is evidence that Daniels. Marys manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes insane when po- iceman offers her whisky. Daniels testi- fes that Pollock threatened to kill Mary and Langdon and actually attempted to kill the latter Two witnesses describe Mary's flight to the street from the hotel and her abduction by men from gam bling place near by. Further evidence seems to incriminate Daniels

Did you see the defendant Mary Page, pass?"
 Yes"
 Was she alone?"
 No; Daniels, the theatrical feller, was with her.''
 There was slight pause.
 Now, Miss Hale," Langdon's voice was serious, but deep with an emotion that stirred the bewildered spectators with the sense of something big and important even though they could not grasp it, did MT. Daniels show any emotion when he passed the door of the gray suite?" T don't know as you would call it emotion exactly. He acted like a man that hears a familiar voice. To come down to facts, he stopped short and listened, and it wasn't till he noticed that Miss Page had stopped too that he laughed loudly as if to cover up something and hurried her along to the banquet room" Did you see MT. Daniels again?" "Yes; a little later. I went across to the window to get an eyeful of what was going on out there, but couldn't see a thing, and after waiting a bit l went back to the door," 'Was anyone in the corridor?'' "Yes.
