The witness wiped his brow, and

have chance to see her.

And. snatching up his hat, Brennan
set off down the corridor at q brisk
trot, the waiter staring after him and
nodding with pleasure at being able
to comprehend the orders that the
lawyer had given.
"They can prove all l say, sir" he
said to I.ansdOn. II hope 1t will help.

call you the first thing. You mustn't
be nervous about it, though. It's not
really such an ordeal as 1t sounds"
IL shan't be nervous. sir" said the
waiter, but his face did pale little
when he saw the crowded room and
the Judge.
He acted like man who had never
been in a court room before.
He took the oath firmly, however,
and his voice. though bit shaky, was
clear as he answered l.angdon's ques-
tions.
His name. he said. was James Wat
son. He was forty-three years old and
was employed as a walter at the Cri-
terion Club.
"YOu see. sir" he went on conflden-

Langdon was gaining confidence ir

the name, Frank Carterr' he scram-

"His Relief"
BY Charles weisberg. age l2 years.
West Smsnmahanna aun

west SusQuehanna ave,
Rockfield was a tourist who had
lovely st. Bernard dog whose name was
Lex. Rockheld himself was a sturdy
man, loving nature in all its ways.
He was now taking a risk by going with
a climbing party up Mt. Blanc in the
Alps, They had a careless guide who
led them into great ravines of ice and
snow, and finally, slipping, the whole party
landed on a small glacier All except
Rockfield escaped, and he was so numbed
that he could hardly move. Just then the
bright sun shining on the snow caught his
eye and seemed TO make a rainbow which
stretched itself gorgeously across the
azure sky. He lay wondering at this
beautiful sight. and his thoughts wan
dered farther and farther away, until he
fell asleep
But let us return TO Lex the dog Grow
ing impatient, the dog at last ran out
OF the inn and up the steep mountain
slope. Rock over rock he passed, some-
times stopping to sniff the ground or 70
gain breath and look for some people that
might aid him At last he came upon his
masters body and began barking. But his
barking did not wake Rockfield
Suddenly the dog grlpped his master
by the collar, and, straining every muscle
he dragged him to the cottage, where the
landlord revived him and put him 10 bed
The faithful dog watched over him an
night and in the morning received a good
petting.
He lived TO a good old age and always
had place in his masters mind
on being asked later by one OF the
friends Of the climbing party who saved
him, he replied. 1T was the rainbow
and my dog. The rainbow put me 20
sleep and I did not feel my palms while
the doa brought me 70 the cottage"
