wilderness giant took to teach the Little Boss the great burning truths of life that every girl ought to know, is one of the most astounding, most compelling true-life dramas that has ever found its way to the printed page.
 As she looks back on that long year of humiliation, suffering and bitter shame the Little Boss, now a woman grown, shudders to think how narrowly she escaped from the horror of lifetime of degradation and utter woe. And it is only as warning to other girls that she has consented to re-live her experience in this amazing story.
 Never was the misfortune, the folly, the crime ofignorance driven honnewith more telling blows than in this power full, heart-gripping, true-life narrative. It is entitled "The Rattlesnake's Bite," and appears in True Story Magazine for December. Yet it is but one of the many intensely interesting, helpful, inspiring features in this great issue.

NANHOE SILVA
 AGAIN ON STAND
 IN ROBBERY CASE
State To Continue With Introduction Of Evi-
 dence Friday

The retrial of Ivanhoe Silva, Tampa, Fla, on a charge of burglary and grand larceny in connection with the roooery of the Hill Grocery company on May IA. 1923, started Thursday before Judge William E. Fort of the criminal division of the circuit court.
 The first witness called ot the stand by Assistant Solicitors John Mccoy and Jim Long, who are prosecuting the case, was J. B. Hill, of the grocey company Other witnesses called during the morning were employees of the com many. who testified as to the circum- stances surrounding the robbery, when the night watchman, w. c. Mort, was bound and locked in a closet while the safe was robbed of several thousand dollars and valuable papers.
 Witness during the afternoon were Birmingham Police Chief Fred McDuff and Officers Zabel, Crane, Virgil Sam defur and Dick Broon. Through their testimony, burglar tools, alleged to have been found in an automobile which Silva had been riding in. were iden- tified. Positive Identification of Silva was made by MT. Zabel, and this was said to have been a strong point for the state.
 According to testimony, Silva, in com pany of J. W. Cannon Balr' Wells, also of Tampa, are alleged to have com mitted the robbery. Wells is said to have been arrested the next day and the burglar introduced in court Thurs day, found in an automobile in which Wells was riding. Wells, when tried, was sentenced to ten years in the pen itentiary, but the decision was reversed when appealed to the supreme court. Wells is to be tried again during the present term of court.
 Continue Friday
 The state expects to continue present. ing evidence against Silva all day Fri day, Mir. Mccoy announced.
 After Silva had been confined in the county jail for several months, he was released on $10,000 bond after several social workers had appealed to Governor Brandon in his behalf. He was rearrested early Wednesday morning with four companions by a party of officers under Chief Deputy Sheriff Hill several miles south of Bir' mingham on the Montgomery highway, when the officers declare they captured a three-automobile liquor train con- taining 100 gallons of moonshine.
 Since bis rearrest, Silva has not been visited by the social workers, who in terceeded in his behalf, jail wardens de- clare, and they were not present in the court room Thursday.

 ,a By Investigation

City Detectives Thursday verified the apparent discrepancies in the statement of John Anargyris, clerk in the cafe of Paul Harduvel, 1213 Fifth avenue, north, who was killed Tuesday night, and have renewed their search for an unidentified negro believed responsible for the murder.
 Police believe the fight with the four Greeks and the killing was merely a coincidence An examination of the body which showed that the shot had struck the spinal column and. turned side ways before entering the wall, the detectives said, which accounts for the slanting hole made.
 John Allen, negro, who was arrested ill connection with the killing Wednes- day morning, was released from the investigation charge and is not believed to have had anything to do with the murder and robbery, according to De- tectives Jones and Brannon.
 Funeral services for Harduvel will be held at 8 :45 o'clock Friday after noon from the Greek church. Burial will follow in Elmwood cemetery with Johns in charge.
