CHAPTER XIV.

The Registered Letter.


g "Is this the only answer you can
make to the charger" asked the
magistrate acidly.
The prisoner In the dock cringed.
There was a hunted look on his
somewhat rat-like features; indeed,
a more unprepossessing prisoner
had seldom looked over the rail to
face the inquisition Of the law.
He was one Of the two men chaged
with the assault on Philip Motifs
font, and II was the second time
he had been bought up on remand.
A white bandage round his Jaw
gave him a bizarre appearance, and
he spoke with some difficulty.
I'm tellin' you the straight.

nobody can contradict It. I was
comm up through the temple on
me way home to Covent Garden.
with my mate. Bill. an just at the
entrance to the passage we saw
two blokes crouchin' behind the
corners like they was watching for
something. stopped short.
Them blokes are up to no

not likin' the look Of 1t. Wed
best go round the other way But
Bill wouldn't have It; he was al
ways a plucky sort. I amt goin'
out of my way for nobody he says.
An just then somebody comes
down the passage from the other
end; the two blokes who was
watchin' for him slipped back fiat
against the wall. an I heard
whistle. An then them two chaps
went for the gent like a couple O.,
tigers. -
"'Come on, Mick" says Bill to
me. Two to one amt fair" And
he sailed right into it with both
fists to help the gent. He was al
ways a sport. Well. sir. anything
Bill does is good enough for me, an
rushes into it, too. 1t was a
shame to see a poor gentleman set
onto like that. But we'd taken on
more than, we bargained for" con-
tinued the prisoner, .dolorously;
them two bad characters wasn't

should--theyd got loaded sticks,
or something like 1t. 1t was a reg.
ular mixup, what with the dark an
all. Bill got outed right away. /
knocked one Of 'em flying. but the
other landed me a Gosh from the
side that dislocated me jaw, an my
' head went up against the wall.
Then somebody blew a whistle, an
the police came runnin up-mighty
quick they was-an' both the
blokes took to their 'eeIs an made

both knocked silly, an poor Bill
with his cad broke. The police
runs me an Bill in! 1 amt blamin
'em for it7-not a Bit" added the
prisoner generously, for can
own, sir, that the whole show
looked funny, an they'd got to
take. somebody. But that's all
Bill an me got, instead of a re-
ward for helpin' gentleman an
takin' the side of the lor! You
can see by me face what I've had
out Of it!'
Many people in the court look
ed sympathetically at the prisoner,
but the magistrate face was ex-
pressionless, and a police sergeant
standing by the. dock smiled grim
ly. The prosecuting counsel rose.
DO you mean to tell the court"
he said blandly, that you were
not one of the men lying in wait
for Mr.. Mottisfont to assault HIM"
Never such a thingv said the
prisoner Indignantly. I've told
you just how 1t was, sir"
What were you doing in the
temple at that hour?"

IDAHO COUNTY SCENERY

Many in Idaho county are of the
opinion that scenic beauties of the
county, its rivers and mountains. its
valleys and plateaus, its farms and
forests, are unsurpassed anywhere in
the United States, while others. who.
also, have Idaho county scenery as a
daily diet, are inclined to minimize
the aesthetic qualities of Idaho coun.
tvs great outdoors, and to pass them

county were desert, a treeless plain.

er company must continue to exc out
an existence on the meager revenue il
now receives, or an equivalent of s
percent interest ON the valuation of

In fact, the power company net
revenue for 1921 was s7955.93, while
8 percent interest on the valuation of

The company made great cry
about the cost of its dam across the

A WORD TO SHOPPERS.

In view of the approaching holiday
trade season for which Brunswick
merchants are well prepared, we de-
sire a word with our friends who do
the shopping.
Did you ever stop to think:
That as a city booster you should
patronize the merchants of your own
home city.
That they have reputation fol
fair dealing and honesty,
That you will find their names in
The News advertising columns.
That their advertising tells you
only of the best merchandise and
where to buy it.
That if careful attention is paid tc
the advertising, many people will find
it costs no more to live in comfort
than to 'just get along"
That real economy consists of
spending your money where you get
the best goods and the best prices for
your money. Read the advertise
ments.
That citizens who buy at nome
show their loyalty, That they trans
late loyalty into deeds.
That they are the ones who keep
business moving.
That when business is kept moving
your city is prosperous. Keep yoIr
city prosperous.
That the merchant who gets ahead
has a forward vision and advertises.
That is why he gets ahead.
That a keen vision is a big business
asset.
That dollar saved is dollar earn
ed.
That you should fead News adver-
tisements. They are great money
savers.
