The day ut the trial dawned clear,
with the snap of autumn in the

the doors were thrown open. Every
man who had rifle was forced to
leave 1t behind with the sherifr's depu-
ties; company of the states militia
was there, and each member of it had
hundred rounds of ball cartridges
in his belt--the authorities were taking
no chances.
Amid breathless hush, the wheels
of the Law began TO move. Caleb More

and backed it up with proof; he
brought out perfect alibi. The

rejoinder that almost favored the de-

eyes upon them and asked:
