The Flaming Je7geI By Robert ,Z, w. Chan'bers

muzzle of which a delicate stain of
vapor floated and disappeared through
a rosy bar of sunshine.
In the intense stiffness Of the place,
suddenly the dead man made a sound,
and the trap-robber nearly afinted.
But it was Only air escaping from
the slowly collapsing Iunge; and Lev
erett, ashy pale, shaking, got to his
feet and leaned heavily against an
oak tree, mis- eyes never stirring from
the sprawling thing on the ground.
If it were minute or year he
stood there he could never have reck-
oned the space of time. The suns
level rays glimmered ruddy through
the woods. A green fly appeared
buzzing about the dead man. An
other zig-zagged through the sunshine,
lacing it with streaks of greenish fire
Others appeared. whirling, gyrating,
filing the silence with their humming.
And still Leverett dared not bulge,
dared not search the dead and take
from it that for which the dead had
died.
A little breeze came by and stirred
the bushy hair on Kloon's head and
fiuttered the ferns around him where
no lay.
Then, near in the ferns, the with
ering fronds twitched, and q red
squirrel sprung his startling alarm,
squeaking, squealing, chattering his
opinion of murder; and Leverett,
shaking with the shock, wiped icy
sweat from his face, laid aside his
rifle, and took his first stiff step to-
ward the dead man.
But as he bent over he changed
his mind, turned Keeling a little, then
crept slowly out among the pitcher
plants, searching about him as
though shifting.
In a few minutes he discovered
what he was looking for: took his
bearings: carefully picked his way
back over a leafy crust that trembled
under his cautious tread.
He bent over Kloon and, from the
left inside coat pocket, he drew the
packet and placed it inside his own
flannel shirt.
Then, turning his back to the dead.
he squatted down and clutched
Kloon's burly ankles. as a man craps
the handles of a wheelbarrow to
draw 1t after him.
Dragging. rolling. humping over
roots. Jake Kloon took his last trail
the wilderness, leaving q
redder path than was left by the set
ting sun through fern and moss and
wastes Of pitcher plants.
Always, as Leverett crept on, pull
ing the dead behind him, the floor Of
the woods trembled slightly, and a
black ooze wet the crust Of withered
leaves.
AT the quaking edge of a little
POOL Of water, Leverett halted. The
water was dark but scarcely an inch
deep over its black bed of silt.

as answer.
IF you got the spunk of a chip,
munk you and nell take a peek at
that there packet. bet you it's thou
sand-dollar bills-mere'n a billion mil
lion dollars, likely"
Kloon's logged silence continued.
Leverett licked his dry lips. His rife
lay on his knees. Almost imprecepti-
bly, he moved it, moved it again, froze
stiff as Kloon spat, then, by inf1nitesi-
NAL degrees, continued to edge the
muzzle toward Kloon.
"Jake?"
Jaw, shut your head" grumbled
Kloon disdainfully. You allus was

Society Ladies Adopt
New Hair Curling Method

Since the Introduction Of the silmerine
method in this country, it has become
quite "the proper thing among society
women, who have readily adopted it in
place Of the destructive curling iron.
The waves and curls acquired by the
new method are far more natural in
appearance, and the hair, of course, is
glossier and prettier than could be If
the life were cooked out of it.
The liquid is pleasant to use. being
neither greasy nor sticky. 1t is a simple
thing to apply with a clean toothbrush
before doing up the hair. The lovely
way effect in evidence in about three
hours is all that one could wish for,
whether the hair be long or bobbed. 1t
costs little to use liquid silmerine, as a
few ounces from the druggist will keep
the hair In eurls for weeks.-Advertise-

THE JUDGE AND THE PUBLIC.

In his address at the Kiwanis luncheon yester-
day Judge Englert spoke impressiVeIy OF the tune
ton OF the trial Judge, OF the relation III winch ne
stands with reference to the community, and OF the
obligation OF the citizen to aid, by his own practice
and example, in creating in the community the re-
spect for law without which no nation is secure.
Judge Englert was especially emphatic in insisting
that the Judge must be human in his sylnpatlies,
sane in his attitude. and absolutely independent in
reaching his decisions.
We take it that there was intended to be no
suggestion that the judge should not take into &C
count the information which may be presented to
him by reputable citizens as to the character Of an
individual convicted of a violation Of the laws, and
ui the circumstances surrounding the commission
OF the offensc. Judges are invested with large dis
crctionary powers in the fixing of sentences. and it
is taken for granted that when a defendant is adj
Judged guilty as charged the court will avail him
self Of every item OF useful information, much OF
which might be inadmissible i'll the trial OF the case,
in determining whether the maximum, minimum,
or a medium sentence shall be imposed.
But the point which was made clear was that
the Judge must NOT be swayed by opportunities.
and that the fact that an individual seems to have
a lot OF influential friends must be dsregarded
Court decisions arc often unpopular. The judge
does not sit Oh tho bench Tor tho purpose of making
himself popular. fc is there for the purpose Of
administering justice in accordance with law, and
ii the light OF all the essential facts surrounding
tic case.
Another point stressed was that a court deci.
sion is not intended to be a public entertainment
1t is d function representing the state at work III
one Of its highest and most important fields, and ii
Is tic duty OF the presiding judge to expedite the
business by the exclusion OF irrelcvaucics and by
i'sis9ence "N continuing attention to the real issues
