YES"
"Will you marry her tomorrow
morning before court opens?"
"What?'' Does she want tot"
NO; but only for your sake would
she refuse. She loves you, Darand.
Take my word for that; I've just
talked with her. So here's what's up
to you. You must marry that girl
you say you love- and you must make
her marry you, before the opening OF
court tomorrow morning-or else,

comes up for trial, you'll wait ten
years or twenty for your wife to come

When court convened in the morn

examination of Kate Fisher; and Rho

her by question, sheer, innuendo. hold

away the life Of man she had loved.
And there was Pellen a few feet off;
there he was, quiet and pale, his hair
and brows very dark in contrast to
his white face.
Suddenly from his bitter attack
Rhodane led the girl into sentimental
memories Of her association with Pei
len and goaded her into hysteria.
AS she was helped down from the
witness stand, Rhodane called his
first witness.

$7UU,UUU a Year Is
Cost of Sunburn

Atlantic City, N. J.-Approximately
100000 can be saved to American en-
ployers If the practice of overexposure
to the sun at beaches to gain a coat
of tan is discouraged, says DIR. Charles
F. Pabst, professor of skin diseases
at the Greenpoint hospital, Brooklyn.
"Bathers should be warned that ly-
ing in the sun for hours at time is
a dangerous practice which often re-
suits In serious HARM" said Doctor
Pabst. 1.-THE skin cannot manufac-
ture pigments quickly enough to pro-
tect one from injury unless the first
exposures are Of short duration and
are heightened only gradually. The
sun emits more ultraviolet light dur
ing July and August than at any other
time of the year. 1t may damage the
skin cells and even produce DEATH"
Doctor Pabst estimates that 10000
working days are lost every week Of
summer annually as a result Of In
tense sunburn. Putting the average
working wage at 81, he sees loss to
employers Of $4,000 a week, or $780,.
nnO for the ten weeks Of summer.

You take me there and you'll have

The witness had gone pale under
the rouge upon her face. She was
clasping tightly the arms Of her chair
and, when she ceased to speak, she
sucked her thin lips between her
teeth and bit them. Her hands clasped
and unclasped from her chair; she
shifted her feet. The silence worried
her, for the prosecutor was waiting
again.
SO, leading on his witness, the
prosecutor plunged deeper and deep
er into the details Of the evidence
sworn to by Kate Fisher that in the
passage beside the drug store Kitty
Hewitt instigated Pellen to get
Gerve Lavvy at Cleahy's cafe.
1t was all new; and so it made the
days sensation; and through the max
ing Of it, Rhodane, for the defense,
sat silent; and though he was in
court all day, Bertram Darand did
not realize until evening, when he
read the papers, what Rhodane for the
defense had done.
The demon of jealous doubt seized
Bertram Darand and made him mis-
cradle as he tossed on his bed that
night. She lied; Of course she lied,
Yet she had told a straight story,
quoting Kitty's own words. No! She

had presented its case and must turn

would tear her testimony to pieces.
But Rhodane did not. When she

Shadows Of the CITY
By EDWIN BALMER and GENE MARKEY
THE VERDICT
w. N. u. SERVICE
(ConcIuded from Friday.)

Concluded from friday
Doctor Darand, hurrying from his
Office to the business block six squares
away, knew that the man who fur
nished the bail was power In the
city. There lowered his building
the Carfax building. Twenty years
ago Hugh Carfax had deserted MS
wife and baby, and Kitty Hewitt was
that baby. He put up bail, anony-
mously, because he had now another
wife and another daughter In one OF
those apartments up on the "golo
coast" where no one knew that ne
was ever Walter Hewitt.
Doctor Darand entered the building
where Kitty Hewitt worked and as
cended to the eighteenth floor. AT the
end of the hall farthest from the ele-
vators, q door opened into an ordln-
airy commercial suite where the
agency business of cement company
was carried on.
Four or FIVE stenographers and Dill
ers worked In the outer rooms beside
the private Office of the manager; but,
It was half-past twelve, and the OIL
ces were deserted now, except for
girl with glorious hair OF corn color
who sat at desk near WINDOW.
She had been gazing out the windo"
when Bertram surprised her.
She turned quickly and smiled with
relief when she recognized him.
"You," she said.
Don't get up" he said, and as she
relapsed into her chair, he drew an
other near her and sat down.

He shook his head.
.Then please have 1t here" She
divided her slim repast and pushed
half of it toward him on piece OF
paper.
He shook his head again, as he
Razed at her offering. There's not
enough for you, yourself" he protest
cd. Besides, I'm not hungry"
"Nor am l."
"You're thinking about Pellen?"
"About Ed" she admitted and she
met Bertram's eyes with gaze which
held no thought Of him. 1t reused q
Jealousy deep within him; 1t put to
him the doubt: "She denied she loves
Pellen; but does she know herself?"
Then Bertram downed his Jealousy
for shame.

again today with his awful offer"

Because Ed looked after mel She
was crazy about him, crazy; she had
him for while and thought she had
him longer when he cut her 0ut-f0r
me-"
Suddenly Kitty collapsed forward
upon her desk with her arms flung
out.
There, there" said Bertram. With
out effect, and he patted her, but ne
was himself shaken with fear. Didn't
she love Pellen? II she denied 1t. did
she know herself?"
And so 1t went between them each
time they met In those long weeks be-
fore the trial.
The state was trying Edward Pei
len. Following his conviction-the
officers Of the state expressed no doubt
of a verdict against him-the state
would try Kitty Hewitt. The state,
charging Pellen with murder, charged
Kitty Hewitt with instigating the
crime.
The chief witnesses for the prose-
cutien were Furgrister, Kate Fisher
and Sallie Keller, who testified to the
facts of the shooting as they had seen
it, and who also swore that Kitty
Hewitt had instigated Ed Pellen to
shoot.
Upon this Kate Fisher especially
dwelt in the evidence which she gave
during the second morning after the
Jury had been completed and the ex-
animation Of witnesses was begun.
She followed Officer Furgrister and
Sallie Keller, and to hear her. people
crowded the court room.
The witness was well drilled, In
word and In dress, to be the center
of this tremendous scene. Her dress
was dark. Her yellow hair was
dressed closely and modestly. Her
habitual holiness was lacking as she
made her deliberate, damning replies.
"And now" said the states attor-
ney confidently, please tell where you
we're at six o'clock that evening"

Noisy Radio Lands
Owner in Jail Cell

New York.-Long Beach's mid
night curfew law clashed with
a radio belonging to a Long
Beach resident, and at last &C
counts the law seemed to have
the better of the argument.
The radio belongs to Edward
H. Dobbs.
When Dobbs retired, weary
with the strain of the holiday,
the "juice" was still turned on.
A while after he had gone to bed
the radio picked up some jazz
orchestra somewhere and began
to relay the strains to the neigh
borhood.
When the strains continued
until twenty minutes after mid
night a neighbor telephoned the
police and had detail sent to
the Dobbs home.
According to the police Dobbs
was peeved and refused to stop
the radio. It was turned Off by
one Of the policemen and Dobbs
was taken to the police station
attired in his pajamas.
