fer Century.
-onvr'eht. 1922. nv Nov Fra rcaturesl

FRANKLIN Institute, a unique
and venerable national irsti-
tuition, will begin work before the
close of the year on new home
to be located on the Parkway,
Philadelphia, an avenue which will
be lined by the most imposing
array of public buildings in
America. The final cost of the
three buildings to be occupied by
the Franklin Institute is estimated
at $2,250,000.
The Institute, 90 years old, is
now housed in the original stree
ture built by it in 1925 in a loca-
ton then considered uptown"
A little shame faced and weary in
aspect, but still preserving an air
of dignity and impeccable re-
spectability, the old building is
now elbowed by pawn shops, fish
markets, second hand emporiums,
and cider saloons. So it is going
to be abandoned.
Has Wide Field
For tours years after its COM
pletion this stately Greek temple,
only a square away from indie
pendence Hall, was occupied by
the United States Courts as well
as the Institute. Since that time
it has been devoted exclusively to
the sheltering of the library,
museum, classes, and researches
of the institution which has as its
motive the fostering of science in
the spirit of Benjamin Franklin.
"The Franklin Institute Of the
State Of Pennsylvania for the
Promotion of the Mechanic Arts"
according to the charter granted
in 1924 has RICH: "to have per-
petual succession, to sue and be
sued, implead and be impleaded,
in all courts of record or else
where, to use common seal, and
break, alter, and renew the same
at pleasure. and to take, hold, and
enjoy lands, tenements, and hered-
itaments." 1t has done more than
these things.
A Record Of Achievement
! In 1924 it held the first exhibi-
ton of American manufactures in
historic Carpenters Hall, and
awarded silver medals for "steel,

A a Moment.

The second day of Wilton'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 a friend of your
h%usband?" he asked.
my husbands greatest friend" she
answered.
HE brought his body back to Clay
ton under great difficulties, although
his arm was brokenT"
"Yes."
"What was his attitude toward you
and the Missatibi c%ompany"
"He wanted me to help him fight to
hold it for me, IN Joe's account"
"And he asked you to come to Big
Muskeg to live"
"He tried to stop me. It was
my suggestion, because l wanted to
follow the work"
Payne shot a f1eeting glance at the
jury. They were watching Kitty with
unchanged faces; but there was no
disbelief on them.
Eat the portage you met Mr.. Bowyer
one evening, l believer"
yes"
Tell us the conversation that en-
sued"
Il caught him trying to embrace Miss
Mcdonald. He told me that he loved
her, and would win her from Will Car
ruthers. He tainted me with being in
love with Will. / was. | am !"
She drew herself up proudly and
flung out the words with indescribable
energy. The whole court was electri-
fed by her words and manner 1t stag
gered Payne. 1t was one Of the worst
things she could have said. He did
not dare glance at the jury.
what was the nature of the bargain
that Mr.. Bowyer offered?' continued
the lawyer.
"He said he would win Miss Melon
aid and get her out of my way If l
would help him gain control of the
Missatibi. And he asked me to give
him the combination of the safe, so
that he could examine some papers
there. He said it was my safe, and l
controlled the line, SO that l would be
doing no wrong"
"What answer did you make?'
81 gave him the combination" an
swered Kitty in a low voice.

"Was his demeanOr that of a guilty
MANI"
Payne leaped to his feet. 81 object
to that question" he shouted. But
Bowyer was already answering:
He looked like a mar mad with
fear.
AS he spoke he glanced upward.
There came a scream from the gallery,
and Kitty fell back, fainting in her
chair.
The court adjourned until the NOR
row. Payne went to his client almost
Immediately.
what do you make of it all?" asked
Wilton gravely.
ut looks bad" answered Payne.
81 was a fool to hide Joe's death.
Inquire for Kitty when you go back
and try to let me know how she is,
won't you? And tell her not to worry.
Tell her Pm going. to pull out triumph
antly, for the sake of the line" said
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 it been possible. But
it 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
v~indictiveness. 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-
lieved 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-his faith in an acquittal. 1t
was the hardest job he had ever had
In his life.

He was in a fever to be gone. He
wanted his rifle; he cleaned and oiled
1t. He asked for his snowshoes, and
began examining the strings. AS Molly
gave them to BIN she suddenly per-
ceived that one 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 you?" 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"

said in a hard voice. THANK God,

sen, who followed the Indian witnesses,
testified reluctantly that he had over
heard Wilton request the pseudo pO-
licemen to delay their journey to Clay
ton, as he did nOt wish Joe Bostock's
death to be known, for business rea-
son until some time later.
There followed PapillOn and Jean
PassepartOut, who stated that they
had been told by the outlaw, Hackett,
that Wilton had murdered Joe BOstOck.
Having already come to the same Opin-
ion, and being afraid of having the
guilt laid to them, they had decided to
run away.
Suddenly there came a buzz of ex-
element in the court room. All eyes
were turned toward the crown attor-
ney, at whose side stood Bowyer him
self; and it was evidently the inten-
ton Of the prosecution to call him to
the stand.
Payne's, eyes, attracted upward sud
denly, saw Kitty in her widows black,
'seated'in the front row of the gallery,
her eyes, fixed I'M terror upon the new
comer And, as if drawn by the force
of hep will, -BOwyer looked up, and
Payne saw the flicker of a smile cross
his red vulpine cOuntenance. ,
Bowyer, called, deposed that he had
known Joe Bostock intimately for sew
eral years. They had always been
friendly, though often business rivals.
when did you first learn Of his
death?" asked the crown attorney.
"Not for several days after"
"But you met the accused at the
Hudson's Bay company's store at Big
Muskeg a few days after the event?"
1.-TWO days after"
"What did he say to you about the
tragedyY
Gle told me Joe Bostock was ng
with him."
"And he said nothing about his
death?"

Lacking IN Consideration.

AS long as the grass in a Chicago

the citizens seem to look upon it as
some sort of garden and keep off of it,
as the signs command them. When
it begins to die out, however, their re.
spect for it instantly vanishes.
A man in a hurry started n day to
cut across a yellow patch In the
upper park, but was stopped by a
policeman.
"What difference does 1t maker" de.
manded the citizen. "The grass is hall
dead already"

CHAPTER XIX
The CIosino of the Trap.

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 out her story, while Payne lis
tened in utter amazement
"Why did you do this, Mrs. Bos-
tock?" he asked, when he had heard
her to the end.
Because | love Will and wanted to
help him." she answered.
"You are willing to tell this story in
the witness-box just as you've told it
to me?"
6" will" cried Kitty. "If it will
save Will-if it's needed to save him."

AS the day Of the trial drew nearer
Payne knew Wills case was desperate.
Public opinion was inflamed against
him, and Bowyer's skillful campaign
had borne rich fruits.
Without animus, but in the resolve
to clear his own reputation for laxity,
Quinn had worked up the case until
each link appeared complete. Ander-

saw a COckdQlllo
from Australia sitting by a Grass Par
akeet. The Parakeet had her head
OF the Cockadillo's chest and the
Cockadillo looked down at her to see
that she was sleeping quietly and that
she was all right.
Even if the Cockadillo felt stiff from
sitting in n position, he would not
owe while the lovely pale green
Grass P~arakeet was resting.
Then Nelly saw two other p%arakeets
sitting close together and they looked
so happy and so cOntented.
Nelly wore flowers to the zoo, but
somehow or other they We're gone be-
fore she knew it and she wondered
afterward which animal had had a
meal of her flowers.
They saw the camel pair next. And
when the keeper called to them they
came toward her and how nicely they
did behave! They let her stroke their
faces and they let her pull out a little
piece of the wool which still they
We're shedding.
She called them by their names,
Babe and Kid, and she spoke of the
funny splits they had at the tops of
their mouths, which didn't insult them
In the least.
Kid had been in a parade which
had been held for charity and he had
had many a picture taken of himself.
His keeper said he had behaved pretty
well for n not used to it, for it was
hard to know all about marching in a
parade When one was used to zoo life.
Babe had a bit of wool over her eye,
but she let nIelly take it off for her.
But what had delighted Nelly was
when they had come when they had
been called. To see the two big cam
els marching toward her as though
to say:
"Well, here we are; did you want
to speak to us?'-was really very ex-
citing.
OF course they were very gentle,
though if they got excited or fright
ened they would probably have kicked
with all their four legs at once in
regular camel fashion.
Next Nelly saw a gentle Zebu pair
and a horse "a having a meal of hay
while waiting to carry some provi-
sions to another part of the ZOO.
While he was doing this four little
w~ire-haired fox terriers got out and
began jumping up and down the
horses hoofs and legs.
The keeper was horribly afraid that
the horse would step on one of the
wee puppies, for their little claws
were sharp and would tickle and
bother the horse, but he seemed to
understand, and was SO careful and
sc patient.
Nelly loved seeing the little puppies,
and after they ere back in their stall
again Nelly played with them and
with their mother. One of the pup
pies had such pretty brown ears and
Nelly kissed the brown ears.
The puppies were so full of life and
didn't want to keep still for a second.
Of course they did stop to have a
drink of milk when it was luncheon
time, but quickly they were ready to
play again.
Nelly saw Peggy, the Airedale dog,
who had always been a great friend
of hers. Nelly loved Peggy's bright,
intelligent eyes. Peggy had seen her
coming in the distance.
And Peggy remembered Nelly,
though size had not seer her in a
long time.
Oh, yes, Peggy jumped up and
down and Nelly was overjoyed to be

Molly and her father left Wilton be-
side the road and crept stealthily into
the underground. When they were a
sufficient distance from the camp they
made a wide detOur, crossed the road,
and took the trail back toward the
portage, encountering nobody on the
way.
There the factor got $500, and
made up a pack of food sufficient
for two weeks journey. They put
on their snowshoes and started east
Aard.
Molly had noticed that the factors
paralysis had completely left him. She
said nothing to him about it, however,
fearing to bring it to his attention.
They travelled for eight days. On the
eighth Mcdonald showed signs Of
weakness; he had overtaxed his
strength.
They were following an Indian track
that led to a little Moravian mission,
twelve miles farther on. When they
reached It at nightfall, Mcdonald was
i'm a raging fever and half delirious.
The brother in charge welcomed
them; he put the factor to bed and
nursed him a%ssiduously through a
sharp attack of pleurisy. Mcdonald,
in his delirium raved necessarily. All
the ghosts of the past tortured him.
Night after night he raved, while
Molly tended him in his anguish But
et last the delirium left him, and con
science, screaming into the sick mans
soul, could no more pass the seal upon
his lips.
