 On cross examination his testi- mony was equally uncertain, He ad- nnitted. however, that the motorman could possibly have picked the gun up from the car floor.
 Patrolman Robinson was next called for a brief examination and upon both direct and cross-examina- tion he swore that the motogman had not given him any gun; that the con ductor had picked up gun and handed it on to the sergeant of police; furthermore, that if the con- ductor or motorman had either one picheu up gun ana handed IL tC the sergeant of police direct, he (Robin- scn) had not seen it.
 The way matters stood then, no two of the four had testified the Same about the gun or guns. And the the district attorney asked that the Englishman' be recalled.
 It was plainly to be seen that he was expecting to be asked to re- pudiate his former statement

 At the end of School street he turned with growing and obvious un- easiness down Pine avenue. The wind at the corner, bit through his coat. It always had been an uncomfortably cold corner.

CARE OF GLOVES

Gloves have scared to such heights In cost that they have become an item to be considered in dress. We must have gloves, SO we must pay the prices. but we can do much to really get the value of our money by prolonging the wear of the gloves.
 In the first place it pays to. buy good gloves-that is, good material. well stitched, and they should be per- feet fitting. Grandmother always blew up her gloves after each wear- ing then carefully pulled them into shape and laid them. each glove separately, between tissue paper. which explains why gloves lasted longer in those days than they do now. To get satisfactory wear out of gloves the slightest rip must be im- mediately mended-experienced glove menders will do this at a nominal cost
 Kid gloves are now very high in price. but with proper care they will outwear several pairs !, of fabric gloves.
 The frequent cleansing that kid SioNeS FtQulTS IS an dQQltlOnal Item of expense if this work is relegated to cbeapsers.' The washable kid Igloves are easily cleansed at home. They are washed, just like the chamois gloves, in suds made of tepid water and a good mild sCap-strong soap will harden them. For perfect satisfaction. wash one at time on the hand. Avoid hard rubbing; this roughens kid gloves. Rinse in tepid water then carefully slip from the hand, gently pull. and blow into shape. Hang where they will dry slowly.

 Other kid gloves can be nicely cleaned in benzine or gasoline. Do the work out of doors in the shade. Put either gasoline or benzine in a jar with the gloves, shake we'll and change the liquid as necessary until gloves are clean. Gently pull the gloves into shape and. dry them in draft of air.
 Fabric gloves should be washed in lukewarmb suds, rinsed in tepid water and carefully pulled into shape before drying.

The spirit Of things was broken here as everywhere. Two children were flattening their noses against the window. He wondered if it was the identical piece of glass against which he had flattened his nose with similar longing way back through the years.
 His hands were in his pockets. A few loose coins jingled there. Mostly nickels. Jim emitted a sound which resemb1ed a laugh crudely. He drew out the chicken feed and pressed it into two warm grubby hands. They might just as well have it. It wasn't much to him now. Then the kids went across the doorsteps that had once been Mrs. Floyd's.

| hall right" was the quick response. And the laugh that followed caused the judge to rap for silence.
 In fact, as In the other instance, some of them or all swore falsely; perhaps in good faith, yet falsely nevertheless. And while in neither | instance there was anything that would have special bearing upon the case except as tending to support or break down my story, I was left wondering that day-and still wonder about it-whether witnesses would swear that loosely or falsely, as the case might have been. in an- other trial where such swearing might have made all the difference possible. While I do not believe such swearing is common thing, the thought occurs to me that for wit ness tc swear falsely or carelessly where defendant Is on trial for his life is serious thing, irrespective of l. the character of the defendant.
 My Story Stands Unshakeh.
 As in the former trial the prose- | outing attorney, assisted by a num- Der of persons who sat near and oc- casionally consulted with him. tried | for hours to tear up my version of the affair. The further he went l tn6' HCTe that ne, went back again and again and took up the trail in a seemingly confused and circle-reasoning manner-the more certain I became that there was no hope of his causing me to say one word that might be what he wanted.
 He would occasionally try the old fashioned melodramatic tactics. Sometimes l wanted to laugh at him but of course could not. afford 1t. And after the first hour and a half of his cross-q questioning, I simply settled down comfortably-like a range horse with his second wind on a long cross-country run-and final ly could tell before each question was finished just what he was going to ask.
 That time. as before, I get news paper decision that my story con corning the tragedy had not been shaken. And as much as I had pre-. viously cursed the papers for things they had said about me and the case, this time l knew the judgment of the papers was sound. As a matter of fact. we always like newspapers when they say things favorable to our interests.
