consciousness he had taken up again
that battle against circumstances
which had been his only thought for
five years.
But suddenly he was aware that his
sister was also in the room, sitting
upon the opposite side of the bed. Her
hand came forward and clasped his;
she bent over him, holding him and
fondling him.

Eaton sank back against his pill

still with questioning for a time, as
he tried to appreciate what he just
had heard and all that it meant to
him-dampened suddenly as he real
lied that 1t was over now, that long
struggle to clear his name from the
charge of murder-the fight which had
seemed so hopeless. He could not
realize it to the full as yet; conceal

injustice done him had marked so
deeply all his thoughts and feelings
that he could not sense the fact that
they were gone for good. So what
came to him most strongly now was
only realization that he had been set
right with Santoine-Santoine, whom
he himself had misjudged and mis-
trusted. And Harriet? He had not
needed to be set right with her; she
had believed and trusted him from the
first, in spite of all that had seemed
against him. Gratitude warmed him
as he thought of her-and that other
feeling, deeper, stronger far than
gratitude, or than anything else he
ever had felt toward anyone but her,

wildly beating, as his thought strained

Eaton lay silent till he heard them
coming. The blind man was unfa-

led him in. Her eyes were very
bright, her cheeks, which had been
pale, flushed as she met Eaton's look,
but she did not look away. He Kept
his gaze upon her.

If the aphis are wide spread over the

Parsley Excellent to

Parsley is very slow to terminate

be used as an edging to a flower bed

leaves are needed at time, such as
are necessary for kitchen use may al

CONNECTICUT CHIMES IN.

For several months I have been

those concerned and the calling Of His
Honor. John Mitchell in question and
the trial before the courts Of the city

and vicinity should be congratulated
for their stand in the defense of their
true and tried leader.
Mr.. Mitchell has made life's sacri-
flee Of his energies for his race and
now at this crucial period the race
should stand by him. We are here In
