Questionable Rolnt Of Law.

There appears to have been con-
fiict of opinion among the early Eng
lish judges as to whether breaking out
was burglary at common law. The
same doubt as to whether breaking
out constituted burglary at common
law, which existed among the early
English judges, has arisen among the
American judges. The recent case of
Lawson vs.. Com. L. r. A. 1915D, 972,
holds that burglary may be estab-
lished by proof of breaking out as well
as breaking in, under statutes provid-
ing punishment for any one who shall
feloniously break any dwelling house
and take away anything of value, and
requiring statutes in derogation of the
common law to be literally construed
with a view to promote their objects.

NapoIeon's Poor HorsemansbiU.

Extraordinary were the precautions
taken that Napoleon should never ap-
pear at disadvantage on horseback.
The emperor was not a first-class
horseman, and his horses were al
ways thoroughly broken in. Here is
a description of the methods en-
ployed: They were trained to remain
perfectly steady under tortures of ev-
cry description; to receive blows
about the head; drums were beat, pis
tolls and crackers fired in their ears,
flags waved before their eyes, clumsy
packages and sometimes even sheep
and pigs were thrown between their
legs. None of the animals was deemed
sufficiently .rained till the emperor
could without the least difficulty pull
them up short at full gallop, which
was his favorite pace"

and for the occasion arrayed herself
with becoming daintiness. 1t was one
of those murky evenings, not so very

drew over her Cinderella party slip

gum shoes. She had forgotten to re-
move her weather protectors.

HE'S P0SSUM OF SNAKE TRIBE
Spreading Adder Seeks to Terrify, but
Really Is Nothing More Than a
Big Bluff.

He's a sly creature, this snake. When
he's discovered and trapped he'll make
such hullabaloo about it, with his
Kissing and contortions, that if you're
not wise to the fact that he's only
bluting you're sure to be frightened,
says the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can. If you're acquainted with him,
however, and refuse to run, he'll give
one final twist and roll over on his
back, just as though he had made up
his mind to die and save you the trou-
Bile OF killing him. But don't be fooled.
He's only playing possum. He's the
spreading adder.
His tricks have resulted in all sorts
Of wild stories about him. Many peo
pie believe he's poisonous, because
he spreads his head out fiat and Kisses
when he's disturbed. AS a matter of
fact he couldn't hurt you if you
picked MIN up by the head. He's only
bluffing when he Kisses.
Then there's another story about the
spreading adder to the effect that ne
will bite himself and fall over dead.
This belief comes from his habit of
playing possum when he sees he's cor
nered and can't escape.
The spreading adder is about thirty
inches long, reddish-brown and
blotched and spotted. He lives in dry
woods and on sandy hillsides, and eats
toads and insects. He's also called

lead the way without. Grasping the
soldiers arm and bidding him show
where the body lay, he thrust him
through the door. I fingered behind

one of the priests felt in the pockets
of the Jacket, bringing forth paper
or two. Cassion took these, gripping
them in his fingers, his face appearing
gray in the early light.

CHAPTER XII.
The Murder of Chevet


Who had killed him? What should
I do? These were the two questions
haunting my mind, and becoming more
and more insistent. The light still
burned in the mission house, and L
could picture the scene within - the
three priests reading, or talking softly
to each other, and Cassion asleep on
his bench in the corner, wearied with
the day.
I could not understand, could not
imagine a cause, and yet the assassin
must have been D'Artigny. How else
could I account for his presence there
in the night, his efforts at conceal
ment, his bending over the dead body,
and then hurrying away without
sounding an alarm. The evidence
against the man seemed conclusive,
and yet | would not condemn. There
might be other reasons for his ST.
lenee, for his secret presence, and III
7 rushed into the house, proclaiming
INV discovery and confessing what l
had seen, he would be left without
defense.

shadow. at every sound, my nerves
throbbing with agony, I managed 10
