day, at tea party in the city.
Blondon makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves a deep impress

Harriet's agitation over the appear

wearying procession began again. Roy
al might treat her with honesty and
honor. He was not small In everything,
and she had never done him harm.
But-there might come the terrible mo-
ment when she had to face Richard
with the confession. Yes. she had
known him before. Yes, they had en-
tered into tacit compact. Yes, she
had kept from Nlna's father secret
that, while 1t might be unimportant,
certainly should have been told him.
Impossible TO think the thing to any
conclusion Too many possibilities
might alter the entire situation. If she
were married safely to Ward, for ex.

Suddenly she fell upon her knees,
and dropped her bright head against

Harriet had not prayed. But now, In
few words, and quite without pre-
meditation. there burst from her the
most sincere prayer of her life. She
looked up at the stars.

ever hard 1t Is. Father. don't let me
make another mistake"

Case Against Him, Third Trial, Was
OccasiOned By Virginia Rappe's
Sudden Death on Labor Day.

OccasiOned BY Virginia Rappe'S
Sudden Death on Labor Day.
A verdict of acquittal was returned
by jury Wednesday, at San Fran
cisco in the third trial of Roscoe
(Fatty) Arbuckle on a manslaughter
charge growing out of the death of
Miss Virginia Rape, motion picture
actress. The jury was out six minutes.
The defendant was deeply affected.
He received the verdict with a great
sigh of relief. There was no demon
stration the court having warned
against it. Mrs. Durfee Arbuckre,
the defendants wife cried quietly.
Both she and Arbuckle shook hands
with the jurors. The quick return of
the jury was a surprise. Edward
Brown, whose presence on the jury
was objected to by the prosecution,
was foreman. There was a slight de-
lay when the jury returned due to the
absence of the district attorney.
Verdict Was By Acclamation.
The verdict was by acclamation the
deliberation taking less than minute.
The additional time was consumed by
details. Jurors and spectators crowd
ed around Arbuckle and his counsel,
and finally bore him off to the jury
room to congratulate him further.

"It was a splendid victory" "The
jury did its duty" was the comment
of Milton T. U'Ren, assistant district
attorney. Christian Wold, one of the
two alternate jurors, said after the
verdict, he had expected an aequittal
after a brief deliberation. The third
trial began March and was marked
by the appearance of approximately
seventy witnesses and the calling OF
two of the defense witnesses before
the county grand jury in connection
with their testimony. The trial was
longer than either of the previou:
