chair, and a stir of quickened in
terest ran through the crowd,
several of those on the outskirts
came IN closer so that they
would not miss a single word of
the arguments.
Rockby made out terse but
affective case wasting no words
IN flowery oratory. He pointed
out that the defence had, through
it's witnesses, sought to make it
a case of spite by seeking to show
that there rad been unfriendlv
relations between Jase and Bart,
but he also forced home the fact
that the testimony of the leading
witness for the defence, Bart
himself had proved beyon d the
shadow of a doubt that this i'll
feeling had existed only with
Bart, thus eliminating any poss-
lble revenge motive in defacing
the track in the swamp as had
been suggested by council for
defence.
He based his case on the MISS
ing toe in the track and with
calm and convincing logic bro
ught his argument to close,
making out case against Drum
Which appeared conclusive and
unbeatable. Unless the Colonel
turned an unexpected trump it
was apparent to every one that
the dogs fate was sealed.
Colonel Marcus Hannibal, an
expansive smile on his face, lean
ed over and patted Drums head
reassurinly, and then, his smile
dying, ne arose to his feet and
dramatically folded his arms ac-
ross his massive chest. For a full
minute he permitted his frown-
ing gaze to wander from juror to
juror and finally to the Squire.
Then one arm swept majest-
ically downward and his pudgy
forefinger was leveled at the doz-
ing hound under his feet.
Il am a dog--the world is my
domain" His deep voice rolled
grandiloquentlv, impressively,
and Drum raised his head and
stared at him with an expression
of sadness.
Il am dog" he repeated. The
world is my domain. From the
bitterly frozen and ice-crusted
stretches of Attic wastes to the
to the, luxariant, death-infested
tropics, | am the inseparable COM
panion and protection of man.
From time immemorial, down
through the rolling centuries, l
have followed my master as he
swept his conquering way over
the continents, and | have helped
him beat his path through the
wilderness of dangers and fears
to the ultimate marble vestihules
of civilization.
Where ever life exists | am
present, loved and caressed, per-
haps kicked and abused, the
poor, the pride of the mighty. l
guard the cradle and | lead the
feeble footsteps of the blind and
aged along life's path. ANA dog

Grated by Mrs. Harry Turner, wife

Proper Rural
Boxes Urged
Postal Authorities Make
Drive To Improve r. F. ID.
Conditions Near Here
NORTHFIELD's PROBLEM

The Postal Department is
carrying ON vigorous campaign to
have the rural patrons clean up
conditions on their routes. Par
ticularly are they anxious to have
all mail boxes properly erected.
This matter is being brought be-
fore the rural patrons at this time
particularly due to the fact that in
the city of Mortified, many pa
irons have been deprived of the use
of the rural service on account of
the complete installation of side
walks and the refusal of property
owners to permit their neighbors
to reinstall boxes in front of their
properties. A general inspection of
this territory showed that the chief
reason for the refusal of property
owners to allow mail boxes on their
property was the fact that the box
owners took little pride in keeping
their equipment in condition, parti-
cularly where the erection was on
another's property.
The local authorities would ap.
preciated the cooperation of the
patrons ON all rural routes to the
end that they may be able to report
to the Department at Washington
that the conditions here have been
remedied. If you are a rural patron
please note the following:
() Erect your mail box approx
imately so inches from the ground
on the right side of the road as
travelled by the carrier.
90 Have box and post painted
white with your name in black 2
inches high on the side facing line
of travel by carrier.
(3) If you are grouped with a num-
Der of other boxes, do not use sep
arate posts, but erect ALL boxes
on one cross bar, insuring even
height.
