Poor Tom, who'd stole the tiny

that he had done a thing quite
wrong. Said Scouty, who had watch

bad" And then they all were star
tied as they heard monstrous gong.
Say, what was that?" Wee Copy
said, "That noise went ringing
through my head. 1t sounded like
a fire bell, but I don't see any
smoke" And then the noise stopped,
after while, and Copy added, with
a smile, "Oh, well, guess what
e'er it was, the pesky thing is broke"
But he was wrong as he could be
and shortly everyone could see that
all the noise came from a gong that
hung up by shed. ooh, that's the
noontime eating bell. Say, TIMES,
wouldn't it be swell if Tommy's dad
would ask us in so we could all be
fed?'
And then a man came into sight
and called to Scouty Tinymite, Say,

In just about minute more the

that he would feed them. What a

said, that my son stole. Just go

Faith retorted. II wonder II all

going to be hard, honey. He'll state
his case, what he expects to prove,
you know. Don't get angry, darling.
Please! Hold tight to my hand"
When Banning began to speak,
Jim Lane reached for one of Cher
RVS cold little hands, Faith for the
other. But Cherry raised her bright
head calamity, fixed her wide, child
ish eyes Of gold fringed with bronze
unwinkingE upon the wiry little dis
trict attorney, whose opening words
were delivered in deceptively calm
and reasonable voice:
MAY it please the Court and gem

Cherry Lane Wiley, has been indict-
ed by the grand jury of this county
for the crime of murder in the first
degree, alleged to have been commit
ted by her on the 18TH gay of No

in this county, by striking the head
of Ralph Cluny with a heavy Chi
nese porcelain vase, fracturing the
skull of the said Ralph Cluny. and
bringing about his DEATH"
The district attorney paused, dra-
matically, and in that pause the
scratching of pencils flying over
COPY paper at the press tables be-
hind him could be heard all over the
suddenly breathlessly quiet court
room.
Cherry's fingers frightened over
Faiths, but across the pale, ex-
quisite face of the girl accused OF
murder there was not a flicker OF
fear. The wide, golden eyes re-
garded the district attorney with
what looked like polite attention
nothing more.
Banning's voice, when it resumed,
was louder, harsher: ITO substan-
tiate that indictment the People

The mayor conceived the idea of tax
ing all women under his jurisdiction
according to the length of their
skirts. A damsel showing only her
ankle pays the minimum rate, while
those wishing to display calves or
knees must give up proportionately.
The more fashionable the lady, the
higher the tax. No increase in the
