NEW ORLEANS, July 7.-(By As sociated Press. testi- mony" savers of superstition, accord ing to Charles A. O'Neill, chief jus tice of the Louisiana supreme court, dissenting from a majority opinion upholding a conviction of murder, "and is as barbarous as witchcraft itself" The court affirmed the con- viction of Mitchell Davis, of Frank lin parish, found guilty because it was testified a dog followed a trail from the scene of the murder and brought up at Davis home a quarter of mile away, but the dissenting opinion of the chief justice has won for the defendant a rehearing of his petition for a new trial. Davis was sentenced to life imprisonment
 "The ruling that such evidence Is admissible is contrary tC the weight of authority and Is violative of the fundam ental right of an accused per son to be faced by and to cross examine the witness against him." said the chief justice. Tn a sense, of course, 1t may be said that the bloodhound does not testify, that his conduct is the subject of the testi- mony merely as the circumstance showing guilt of the person trailed by the hound. But this statement, that the bloodhound does not testify Is only skin deep. The blood hound In such case, Is a supposed expert witness, who cannot give any reason for his expert opinion of the guilt of the persCn whom he trails.
 ITO admit such testimony Is the same as to say that testimony ot locke would be admissible to prove that human being with ar abnormal sense of smell trailed the person On trial and pointed him out as the guilty party even if the hu- man being could not give any req son for his expert opinion. The ad- mnistration of justice is a practi- cal affair.
 Some men put more credence in weird, uncanny, uneXplainable cir cumstances than they accord tc simple facts, and some have more faith even in mediumistic messages from planchettes and ouija boards The sC-called bloodhound testi- mony,' being uneXplainable, savor. of superstition, and is as barbarous and dreadful as witchcraft itself"

 The King himself Is fond of ski ing and he and tho Crown Prince frequently engage in the sport dur ing the winter. In this they are like some of the monarchs of the Nor weg1an past who, even before the discovery If America, were noted for their contests in jumping and gliding on these long wooden shoes over the snow.
 The Great Sport Of Norway.
 Skiing might be called the national sport of the Norwegians. By whom 1t was originated no one knows, but six hundred years before Christ these people were spoken of in the records as those who run on the ski Even now this means of Iocomotion Is used by the farmers of some parts of the country and it Is said that tho snow is often so deep that skiling of that nature starts in November and lasts until March.
 l am told that the children are taught to ski very young. They practice Jumping over small things at first, increasing the extent of their leaps and slides as they grow up. Many of the villages have their ski clubs and every little town has tourist hut on the hills nearby where the skiers take shelter. There arc skiing parties during the winter and young men and women go off to- gether on long ski excursions.
 How Ski. Are Made.
 havo asked some questions as to l ra not like the snow shoe, which might be called framework of strings fas- tened together somewhat like a ten his racket. but are really strips of board about as wide as the palm of good-sized man and a foot longer than he Is tall. In other words they are above five inches wide and about seven feet in length. The best wood Is the ash. (Which can be easily bent so that 1t turns up d bit at the toe.
 The ski varies In thickness throughout its length. In the middle thick but 1t grows thinner towards the front, curving up at the tip. It is fastened to the foot by straps and | 1t should be well buckled on. On the down grade the skis are held parallel. The feet must be kept close together and the body well balanced. Sliding down hill the speed may be that of an express train, and there are marathon races in which one man has made the rec crd of one hundred and thirty eigh t miles in a little over twenty-one hours- This man was Lapp,
 Skiing forms part of the training of the Norwegian army. The soldiers are required to be able to run upon skis and they practice being drawn on their skis behind a fast horse. Sometimes one man may ride the horse and have behind him several soldiers on skis. each of whom is drawn along by strap tied to the saddle. The soldiers make charges OF skis. They run and jump and slide In formation over the snows, and when one remembers the winter fighting of the Italians and Austrians, he can see how. in a mountainous country like Norway, such training might be almost invaluable.

MEXICAN BANDITS PAY LIVES FOR MISDEEDS
Summary V engeance Exacted By
 Government Against Outlaws

MEXICO CITY, July 7.-(By As sociated Press.)-Summary venge- ance has been exacted by the gov ernment fer the attack on the Inter oceanic railway passenger train June between Amozoc and Senoret, near Puebla, In which two lives were lost. Five Indians, two of them residents of Amozov, have been shot after summary courts martial and 12 others, whose names were given by those executed as members of the band of robbers, are being harrted through the mountains by numerous attachments of federal troops.
 Photographs of the five dead rob- bers, taken while they were falling under the bullets of the firing squad at the edge of the graves dug for them, have been distributed throughout the Malintzi mountain region as a warning against further similar Cutrages.
 The fact that the Amozoc hold-up was the first to mar the record of the Obregon administration for months prompted the government to take extreme steps.

News Of Stewart.

Blinded, like a wild creature. Made
line Hammond ran to her room. She
felt as if a stroke Of lightning had
shattered the shadowy substance Of
the dream she had made Of real life.
The wonder Of Danny Mains story,
the strange regret with which she had
realized her injustice to Stewart, the
astounding secret as revealed by Padre
Marcos-these were forgotten In the
sudden consciousness of her own love.
She liberated the thought that knocked
at the gates Of her mind. With quiv-
ering lips she whispered it. Then she
spoke aloud:
IT will say it-hear it. II love
him!"
In nature like hers, where strength
Of feeling had long been inhibited as
a matter Of training, such a trans
forming surprise as sudden conscious
ness Of passionate love required time
for it's awakening, time for its sway.

ment come, and Madeline Hammond
faced not only the love in her heart,
but the thought of the man she loved.
Suddenly, as she ragged, something
in her-this dauntless new personality
took arms against indictment Of
Gene Stewart. Her mind whirled about
him and his life. She saw him drunk,
brutal; she saw him abandoned, lost.
Then out Of the picture she had Of
him thus slowly grew one of differ
ent man-weak, sick, changed by
shock, growing strong, strangely, spir-
itually altered, silent, lonely like an
eagle, secretive, tireless, faithful, soft
as woman, hard as iron to endure,
and at the last noble.
"Oh, it Is all terrible!' she cried. II
am his wife. His wife! That meet
ing with him-the marriage-then his
fall, his love, his rise, his silence, his
pride And 1 can never be anything
to him. Could be anything to him?
]. Madeline Hammond? But l am his
wife, and love himl Hts wife! I
am the wife Of a cowboy! That might
be undone. Can my love be undone?
All, do want anything undone? He
is gone. Gone! Could he have meant
l will not, dare not think of that. He
will come back. No, he never will come
back. Oh, what shall 1 do?"
And on the morning Of the next day,
when Madeline went out upon the
porch, Stillwell, haggard and stern
| with husky, incoherent word, handed
her a message from Eel Cajon. She
read:
"El Captain Stewart captured by
rebel soldiers in fight at Aqua Prieta
yesterday. He was a sharpshooter in
the federal ranks. Sentenced to death
Thursday at sunset"

Stillwell made some incoherent sound
as he sat up fascinated, quite beside
himself
"Bill, it was some long time ago
since you saw me-" said Danny. "Fact
is, I know how you felt, because Gene
kept me posted. I happened to run
across Bonita, an ! wasn't goin' to
let her ride away alone, when she told
me she was in trouble. We hit the
trail for the Peloncillos. Bonita had
Genes horse, an she was to meet him
up on the trail. We got to the noun
tains all right, an nearly starved for
few days till Gene found us. He had
got in trouble himself an couldn't
fetch much with him.
"We made for the crags an built
cabin. I come down that day Gene
sent his horse Majesty to you. Never
saw Gene SO broken-hearted. Well,
after he sloped for the border Bonita
an were hard put to it to keep alive.
But we got along, an I think it was
then she began to care a little for me.
Once went to Ell Cajon an run plumb
into Gene. He was back from the rev.
olution an cuttin' up some. But I got
away from him after doin' all I could
after that Gene trailed up to the crags
an found us. Gene had stopped drink
In, he'd changed wonderful, was fine
an dandy. 1t was then he began to
poster the life out Of me to make me
marry Bonita. I was happy, so was
she, an I was some scared Of spoilin'
1t. Genes dog-gone hard to buck
against! I had to give in, an asked
Bonita to marry me- Well, she wouldn't
at first-said she wasn't good enough
for re. But I saw the marriage idea
was workin' deep, an just kept on be-
In as decent as I knew how. SO it
was my wantin' to marry BOnita-my
bein' glad to marry her-that made
her grow soft an sweet an pretty as
as mountain quail Gene fetched up
Padre Marcos, an he married u.s."
Danny paused in his narrative,
breathing hard, as If the memory Of
the incident described had stirred

well, now listen, for this is strange
I've got to tell you. The afternoon
Bonita an I were married, when Gene
an the padre had gone, she left me
for a little, an when she came back
she wore some pretty yellow flowers
In her hair. She said some queer
things about spirits rollin' rocks down
the canyon. Then she said she wanted
to show me where she always sat an

crags to a long slope. 1t was some

The Ride.

"Stillwell I"
The old cattleman stood mute be-
fore her, staring at her white face, at
her eyes of flame
"Stillwell 1 am Stewards wife!'
"My Gawd, Miss Majesty" he burst
out. II knowed somethin' turrible was
wrong. Aw, sure it's pity"

asked, with passionate swiftness. 81
will save him. This Is Wednesday
morning. / have thirty-six hours to
save his life. Stillwell, send for Link
and the carl"
She went into her Office. Her mind
worked with extraordinary rapidity
and clearness. Her plan, born in one
lightninglike flash Of thought, necessi-
tated the careful wording of kilograms
to Washington, to New York, to San
Antonio. These were to senator's, rep
resentatives, men high in public and
private life, men who would remember
her and who would serve her to their
utmost. Never before had her posi-
ton meant anything to her comparable
with what it meant now. Never in all
her life had money seemed the power
that it was then. If she had been
poor! A shuddering chill froze the
thought at its inception. She dispelled
heartbreaking thoughts. She had
power. She had wealth She would
set into operation all the unlimited
means these gave her-the wires and
pulleys and strings underneath the sur
face of political and international life,
the open. free, purchasing value Of
money or the deep, underground, mys-
terious, intellectually powerful infu-
ence moved by gold. She could save
Stewart.
When she went outside the car was
there with Link, helmet in hand,
cool, bright CLEAN In his eyes, and with
Stillwell, losing his haggard misery,
beginning to respond to Madeline's
spirit.
Link, drive Stillwell to Ell Cajon in
time for him to catch the El Paso
train," she said. "Wait there for his
return land If any message comes
from him, telephone 1t at once to me-"
Then she gave Stillwell the kilograms
to send from Ell Cajon and drafts to
cash in Ell Paso She instructed him
to go before the rebel junta, then sta
toned at Juarez, to explain the situa-
ton, to bid them expect communica-
tions from Washington officials re-
questing and advising Stewart's ex-
change as prisoner Of war, to offer
to buy his release from the rebel au-
thOrities.
There was q crack, a muffled sound
bursting into a roar, and the big car
jerked forward to bound over the edge
Of the slope, to leap down the long in
cline, to shoot out upon the level val
ley floor and disappear in moving dust.
Madeline endured patiently, endured
for long interminable hours while hold
ing to hope with indomitable will.
No message came. At sunset she
went outdoors, suffering torment of
accumulating suspense. 0 Night fell.
She prayed for the sun not to rise, not
to begin it's short twelve-hour Journey
toward what might be fatal setting
for Stewart But the dawn did tighten,
swiftly she thought, remOrselessly.
Daylight had broken, and this was
