A Moment,

The second day of Wflton's trial was
occupied by the handwriting experts
gentlemen brought to Clayton at fat
fees. who unanimously testified that
the signature on the transfer was gen
uine, and those on the checks forger-
les. On the third day the defense
opened, and Payne called Kitty, reso-
lutely ignoring alike Wilton's signals,
and the crown lawyers satisfaction,
and Bowyer's vulpine smile.
'The defendant was d friend of your
husband?" he asked.
MY husbands greatest friend" she
answered.
"He brought his body back to Clay
ton under great difficulties, although
his arm was broken?"
"yes."

"And he asked you to come to Big

"He tried to stop me. 1t was
my suggestion, because l wanted to
follow the work."
Payne shot a fleeting glance at the
jury. They were watching Kitty with
unchanged faces; but there was no
disbelief on them.

The CLOSING Of the Iran.

Payne was struggling with his per-
plexities about a month before the
date set for the trial when Jim Belts
and Kitty came to his Office. Kitty
sobbed on her story, while Payne lis
tened In utter amazement
"Why did you do this, Mrs. Bos-

her to the end.
Because | love VIII and wanted to

"You are willing to tell this story In
the witness-box just as you've told 1t

IL Will" cried Kitty. "If II will
save Wili-if it's needed to save him"
AS the day of the trial drew nearer
Payne knew Wits ease was desperate.

him, and Bowers skillful campaign
had borne rich fruits.

II was a fool TO hide Ioe's death.

Tell her I'm going to pull out triumph

Wilton.
Payne left him with the resolve to
put Kitty upon the stand. he did not
tell Wilton this. He would have
avoided this had II been possible. But
il was the only chance remaining. The
jury might believe her.
Suddenly there leaped into Payne's
mind the overwhelming conviction that
Bowyer was at the back of the muir
der. Nothing else could explain his
vindictiveness. He learned that Kitty
was recovering. and, before returning
to inform Wilton, he had the impulse
to go to Jim Belts quarters. He want.
ed to see the only man who still be-
iieved in Wilton's innocence.
AT Belts home he was told that the
old man had left Clayton two weeks
before, and had not yet returned.
Payne made his way slowly back to
the jail. He had TO uphold his faith
alone-hls faith in an acquittal Ii
was the hardest job he had ever had
in his life.

He was in a fever to be gone. He
wanted his rife; he cleaned and oiled
It. He asked for his snowshoes. and
began examining the strings. AS Molly
gave them to him she suddenly per-
ceived that n Of the strings was
broken. And there flashed into her
mind the memory of her discovery be-
side the portage On that day when she
saved Wilton.
She would not let the dark thought
in her heart come into consciousness.
But she kneeled at the factors side,
her arms around him. "What is trOu-
bling your" she pleaded. Tell me-"
Mcdonald was shaking like an
aspen. IT'S naething. lass!" he bah
bled. "If I've repaid, it's for wrong
that was done me and mine"
"What have you done? Whom have

"Joe Bostock !"
After a long time Molly took the fac
tors hands in hers. "We'll 60 on" she
said in a hard voice. "Thank God,
no innocent man has been suspected,
I'll stay with you. I'll never speak Of
this again. But If v the guilt is un-
justly placed on anyone, you will 60
back to Clayton and confess the truth,
or I'll denOunce you"
"Aye. I'll go back, Molly" he cried.
mo nan shall hang for me. / swear
tiff yen stay by me till then, Molly"
She left him, and, with a singular
clarity of mind, as if there were moth.
ing more to fear or hope, and no room
for further feeling, she went to the
door and looked out across the snow
bound wilderness.
She saw a figure tramping through
the nov toward the mission. And
thus Jim Belts found her.

The Guilty Mani

The inquest on the bodies or Hack
EFT and Lee Chambers had established
the fact, ascertained by a search-party
on the day after the fire, that there
were no human remains under the
charred timbers of the camp. Notwith,
standing this, when the attempts made
70 trace Mcdonald and his daughter
failed, II was generally believed that
they had been lured there by the out
| laws. and had either died in the flames
or had been murdered and their bodies
disposed OF.
Jim Belts had nothing more snbstan-
tial than anyone else on which TO base
his search. He was resolved 10 free
Wilton, and, having failed with Kitty.
he determined TO discover the other
woman who, he felt sure, had been
mixed up in Wilton's iife--if she
still lived.
Jim Belts built up the theory that
| Wilton had arrived at the camp too
late to save the girl from Bowyer, and
that. half-crazed. she had fled with her
father into the wilderness. He went
to the fishing camp and spent a day
prowling among the ruins, but he
learned nothing there. Then he went
to the store. II was still empty, for

lished northward, and the company had

GET READY FOR WEEvLs
Clean Cribs Lessen Damage
From Corn Pest.

A. q M. College. Miss. Septem-
Der 11.-Now is The time for farm
|ers to begin making preparations
to prevent weevil damage to their
corn this winter, according to the
State Plant Board, which advises
that all old corn, be removed, the
cribs swept out clean, and the floors
and walls madeas tight as possible.
From many observations made,
it is evident that weevil damage is
usually greatest in corn fields near
barns, consequently such corn
should be stored separately and fed
as soon as possible. Another i'm
portant measure mentioned is sort
ing the weevll-infested ears from
the other corn when it is gathered
This may be done by having bar
rel in the wagon to hold the infest-
ed ears, which are emptied in sep.
crate place at the barn for immedi-
ate feeding.
Weevil damage can also be great
ly reduced by selecting seed corn
with long shucks extending well
out beyond the tip Of the ear and
covering # completely. Expert
ments have shown that such ears
will be unchanged even when ex.
posed to the weeyils for months,
Fumigation with carbon bisulphate
or High Life" is very effective
against weevils in tight cribs and
should be used before the weeyils
