That eminent self-ajvertiser, Houdi- nj, is just summing up the net results of his purchase of the Bernhardt sta tue. You may possibly remember that the statue was presented to Mime. Bernhardt by John Drew, in the name of the actors of America, and after wards was discovered not to have been paid for. The sculptor's wife sent Bernhardt bill for 1t and Bernhardt promptly responded that she had ac- cepted 1t as gift and would send 1t back rather than pay for 1t. A most embarrassing situation ensued and all the newspapers commented upon 1t. Then came Hondini to the fore. He paid the sculptor's wife for the statue and wrote Mme Bernhardt begging her to keep 1t with his compliments and forget an incident which had brought worlds greatest artiste. Houdinl has just finished tabulating the returns from his press clippings describing his hi55...,y Scc-mendable act and linking his name with Bernhardt's have hen received. Over hais of then. were first page stories. They average 15 lines in length. Estimating this advertising at the pure reading matter rate of dol lar line, Houdini calculates that he has reaped the equivalent of an ex- penditure of S56,340. The statue cost him S36O.-New York Letter.

CHAPTER xxlil.

If fin the mountains there was one person of whom the Blue Grass knew with favor. it was Juanita Holland. She had worked quietly and without any blare of trumpets. Her efforts had never been advertised. but the thing she was trying to do was too unusual thing to have escaped public mo- tice and public laudation. That she was spending her life and her own large fortune in manner of self-sacri- fee and hardship was thing of which the state had been duly apprised.
 She. at least. would stand acquitted of feudal passion. She stood as lone fighter for the spirit of all that was best and most unselfish in Kentucky ideals and the ideals of civilization.
 If she chose to come now as a wit ness for Anse Havey. she should have a respectful hearing. The pris- oner bent forward and fixed eyes blaz- ing with excitement on the door of the witness room. He saw 1t open and saw her pause there. pale and rather perplexed, then she came steadily to the witness stand and asked: Do l sit here?"
 The man had known her always in the calico and gingham of the noun tains. This seemed a different wom- an who took her seat and raised her hand to be sworn. She was infinitely more beautiful he thought, in the ha, biliments of her own world. She seemed a queen who had waived her regal prerogatives and come into this mean courtroom in his behalf.
 His heart leaped into tumult. He would not hrve asked her to come; would not have permitted her to sub init to the heckling of the prosecutor. whose face was already drawing into
Tombstone epitaph., 1917-03-04

a vindictive frown, had he known. Sue had come, however. anyway-perhaps. after all, she cared! If so. 1t was a revelation worth hanging for.
 Then he heard her voice low and musically pitched in answer to ques. tions.
 T have known Mir. Havey," she said quietly, lever since 1 went to the mountains. He has helped me In my work and has been an advocate of peace wherever peace could be had with honor"
 At the end of each answer the com. monwealth's attorney was on his feet with quickly snapped objections. Anse Havey's heart sank. He knew this mans reputation for bullying wit nesses. and he had never seen a wom. an who had come through the ordeal unshaken. Yet slowly the anxiety on his face gave way to a smile of in finite admiration. Juanita Holland S quiet dignity made the testy wrath ol peevish.
 The defendant saw the subtle change of expression on the faces of the jury. He saw them shifting their sympathy from the lawyer to the wom an, and the lawyer saw it, too. They kept her there, grilling her with all the tactics known to artful barristers for an unconscionable length of time but she was still serene and uncon fused
 By heaveni" exclaimed Anse Havey to himself, as he leaned forward she's maxim fools of iem allan she's doin' it for mel" Even the judge. whose face had been sternly set against the defense shifted in his chair and his expression softened. The commonwealth's attor ney rose and walked forward. and Anse Havey clenched his hands under the table. while his fingers itched tc seize the tormentor's throat.
 You don't know that Anse Havey didn't incite this murder. You only choose to think SO. Isn't that . fact z stormed the prosecutor. T know that Anse Havey is in capable Of It." was the tranquil retort How do you know that?" '1 know him"

Tombstone epitaph., 1917-03-04

Then Anse HavOy saw his chief counsel set his jaw. as he had . trick of setting 1t when he faced . forlorn hope. and throw the list of names aside as something worthless. As the lawyer spoke Anse Havey's face for the first time lost its immobility and showed amazement. He bent forward. wondering If his ears had not tricked him. His attorneys had not consult ed him as to this step.
