LIVES IN BORROWED SHELL
Hermit Crab Has Peculiar Habit Of
Seeking Out Shells Of Dead MOI
luSks for Domlcils.

The most peculiar thing about the
hermit crab is his curious habit Of
living in the she'll Of dead mollusks.
His motive Is 70 protect his hlud-hody.
The fore part Of his anatomy Is coy

abdomen is soft and invested with a
delicate membrane, The slightest rup-
ture or abrasion 10 this abdomen COY.

With IFS belly, the hermit crab holds
on TO Its portable home. Occasionally
II will change one acquired shell for
another. When exchanging shells it
must act with utmost caution and dis
patch lest Il he harmed by some en-
envy who may be lurking near.
This exchange Is often made AT the
mere within of the animal, but after
each moultinG is compelled to find n
larger home 10 accommodate its grow

to see n pile of empty whisky bottles.

CHAPTER VI


For weeks thereafter he was only
family conscious Of his surroundings
ut intervals, Once, reused by some
injection, he was aware OF making a
brief deposition for use at the coro-
ner's inquest, and once Molly's face
appeared, wet with tears, out Of the
shadows, and her lips touched him.
But he was desperately Ill, and It was
February before the crisis was past,
and he awakened, intensely weak, but
conscious, to realize that he was In
Kltty's house, and that Kitty had
been nursing him.
Feebly he whispered his gratitude,
and asked forgiveness because he had
not been able to keep his promise to
look nfter Joe.
"You did all that could be done,
WILL" she answered. at was wonder.
fully plucky, your bringing him to
Molly's house as you did. No n
could have done more"
He asked for Molly, and learned that
she had gone home ON the day after
he had been brought to the house.
Kitty promised to show Wilton Molly's
letters when he got better.
"Then you know we are engaged1"
asked Wilton.
Kitty smiled a little, II couldn't
help knowing that" she answered.
I'm glad for Molly's sake"
Wilton's mind had been all be-
| wilderment as he racked his brains
| for a clue to Joe's death. Had he been
sure 1t was murder, he could have
gone grimly to work on the solution.
But there was always the doubt, the
paralyzing doubt, that 1t had been an
accident, and that one Of the half
breeds had fired the shot.
Yet Bowyer must have known OF
Il; Bowyer had sent the impostors to
arrest him he became more and more
convinced that BOwyer had learned
Of Joe's death that afternoon at the
portage, and had devised the arrest
to keep him from the meeting.
Among Wilt0n's callers was old Jim
Belts, to whom he extended his con
fidence In a large measure.
"Bowyer guilty as h." he de-
clared. "Phayrc mightn't have known.
| guess he didn't. But Bowyer knew,
when he had Phayre bring that mo-
ton forward, that Joe wouldn't re-
turn. Put that thought in your pipe
and smoke 1t. boy!"
"Jlm,' SAID Wilton, "Im giving up
my life to the Mlssatibi, because it
was Joe's work. And I'm going to
hound down his murderer, II it was
murder"
AYE, boy, and go cool about It,"
counseled Belts. at was crafty work,
but it'll come out. Don't doubt 1t.
And you'll find them two snakes,
Bowyer and Phayre, under the brush
wood. And maybe Clark, too" he
added.
II was the middle of February be-
fore Wilton was allowed to leave the
house. Nearly two months had been
lost, and during that time Bowyer and
Phayre, whatever their plans might
be, had had "a good leeway to develop
them.
kitty" said Wilton, "you know
everything is in your hands now. You
control the line. And | know that
you'll stand by the line to the last,

end" said Kitty solemnly. i've been

living in a palace in Dearborn,
Mich. surrounded by a 1000 acre
estate, with servants and every
conceivable convenience then not
dreamed of. But Henry Ford,
who at that time came to Detroit
as. an engineer for the Edison
company, returned. and the coun-
try girl became Mrs. Forl. She
was then q and he only 20.
From that day to this, Mrs.

the latest and most amazing Of
his roles in the Frank Blair par
don scandal when he appeared in
court Friday afternoon as attor-
ney for Maurice Calvin on trial
for conspiracy to secure the par
don of Blair at the time when
Blair was wanted by federal att
thorities for trial as bank rob-
Eber. As d result Blair got away
from prison and is now at large
iii In chambers, Friday afternoon,
Ex-Governor Morrow made an ar
gument for peremptory instruc
tons for Calvin. He appeared
rs an attorney after having APP
peared in court previously as a
witness for the Commonwealth.
! The Governors whole activi-
ties and Interest," were with Gal
vim. the man he had at first reep-
resented as having BETRAYED him
in securing the pardon for Blair.
Ext ali, the hearings he sat, at
/ Galvin's table and with Calvin s
attorneys and The gave the climax
to his performance when he .ap-
peared as attorney for Calvin in
arguing the motion for peremp-
cory instructions.
Friday afternoon the, motion
for peremptory Instructions for
Calvin was argued in chambers.
There were four attorneys pres
cnt to represent Calvin, Leslie
Morris, Elwood Hamilton, T. L.
| Edelen and c. H. Morris, former
Attorney General.
Governor Morrow asked if he
would be permitted to make an
| argument. Certainly, Cover
nor, you are an attorney at this
bar" saidaIudge Stout. afqssg
| The Governor then proceeded
to make an argument, the gist Of
! Whicf5was that there was no evi-
dence of conspiracy on Calvin 5
part, that there was no evidence
to Show that Calvin knew Blair
was wanted
Furthermore. the Governor ar
gued there was no evidence that
Blair himself knew he was want
led. Having thus eNculpated both
IGalvin and Blair as far as posi-
ible, the. Governor then grew ora
torical and asserted that he still
believed, as he had always be
Iieved, that if Capt. Hendricks,
the agrieved party, was salts
fed, everyone Should be salts
, fed.
The Governor has played as
many parts as Shakespeare

His roles have been:
l. The Pardoner.
2. The Peniter1t-the man

g. The Apologist to the peo-
