PART II
UT SEEMED to Lester Klay
as though all of Baxter
City had crowded into

- the court room for the araimment of
Carl Frink.
Judge Midwick Dmane took his place on
the bench. The spectators, who had arisen
when he entered the court room, seated them
selves as the bailiff pounded his gavel.
Looking about him, Klay could see the
poker face of Frank Richmond and noticed
that the sardonic eyes of Helming henchman
were fastened upon him, rather than upon the
defendant He also noticed Judge DTanes
niece seated beside Richmond. and her eyes
avoided his as studiously as those of Rich
mond watched his every move.
Klay knew that Baxter City was run by a
political machine. That this machine was un-
scupulous and ruthless was evidenced by the
fact that his own brother had been raiIoaded
to Jail on perjwed evidence, and now he felt
that he, himself, was being sucked into the
vortex of this political corruption. He sud-
denly realized just how fly, imprisoned in
spider web, must feel while awaiting the
approach of the spider.
Suddenly klay realized that the droning
preliminaries incident to the arraignment had
passed, and that Judge Midwick Dnane was
now asking the momentous question, Are you
represented by cowlsel?'
Carl Frink said in muffled voice, mo, sir"
"Do you," asked the Judge, expect to Sc
cure an attorney"
Haven't any money to pay lawyer"
at is," Judge Dwane said, ''the law of this
state that the court will appoint an attorney
to represent you if you are without funds, and
desire the aid of counsel. Do you want me to
appoint some lawyer to represent your"
Yes"
Listening to the questions and their an

Lester Klay rose from his seat, tiptoed to the
door which led to the law library, crossed it
into the sheriff's office, and said grimly II
want pass permitting me to enter the Jail
and talk with Carl Frink, accused of murder"
The visitors room in the county Jail was
cherries, gloomy place. 1t was divided into
two compartments by an iron grating, which
stretched the length of the room and divided
long table into equal parts. On one side of
the screen. his elbows resting on the table, sat
Carl Frink Opposite him, Lester Klay ap-
praised the man whom he had been appointed
to defend and whose life would necessarily
rest so largely in his hands. Frink was man
of about forty-five, thick-necked, heavy
jawed, sWly-lipped. His eyes were small, gilt
tering and alert.
Tell me-" Klay said, what happened"
I'm tell you the Gods own truth" Frink
answered. Crawford was going to ruin my
business went to see the editor of his paper,
and he told me he couldn't keep anything out
of the paper, that I'd have to see Crawford
himself"
did you, Klay asked, make any theatsf"
"Well, you know how man talks when he's
fighting mad. l probably blew off little
steam"
THAT doesn't answer my question. Did
you make any threats?'

swers, Lester Klay felt that he
was listening to some prearTanged
drama Not only did it seem that
Judge Durane was speaking a
part which he had learned by
rote, but it seemed the defendant,
himself. was but dummy an
actor, who had been paid to re-
cite certain lines.
Judge Durane glanced down to the row of
chairs occupied by the attorneys. Since this
was law and motion day. large number were
present.
II will assign this case to Lester r. Klay,"
Judge D,mane said, "and, take it, Mr.. Kay
you will wish the arraignment continued2"
Klay found himself on his feet. The sense
of umeality vanished. He felt that he was
fighting something intangible, but neverthe-
less fighting "Your Honor" he said, "for
purely private reasons, it would be most in
convenient for me to represent this defendant.
beg To be excused
Judge DMane frowned slightly. Il am
sorry" he said, that counsel feels that way,
but it is the duty of counsel to handle such
cases as the court may assign, and the court
does not care to listen to any excuses. The
arraignment will be continued until ten o clock
Saturday morning.
There was a moment of silence, then Judge
Dmane said, "The defendant may be seated
and is remanded to the custody of the sheriff"
Consulting typewriter memorandum In
front of him, he called the next case, Porter
versus Hammond. That is, believe, an argu-
ment on demurrer"
AS the spectators realized there would be
no further developments in the murder case.
a rustic of motion swept the courtroom.

gangSteTs who controlled the q,
He admitted he had come to
chine in order to vindicate his
brother, who had been sent to
prison by Judge Durane, a
dupe of the corrupt Helming
and his henchman Frank
Richmond.
But Lester Klay was not
thinking of his enemies that
night as the voice over the
wire told him that Crawford,
the newspaper publisher, was
speaking; that hewas about to
print an expose ofthe political
situation and needed an at
torney at once. Klay hurried
to Crawford's home Office -
and found him uumpled be-
side his desk. two bullets in
his body. Klay suspected then
that he was being framed; as
footsteps approached, he
grabbed an appointment book
lying on the desk as a possible
clew to the real killer, and
fled through a window.
The next daya roadhouse
keeper, Frink, was charged
with the murder, and Judge
Durane's beautiful niece,
Bernice Durane, whom Klay
had met the day before.
brought Klay the startling
news that her uncle was going
toappoint him to defend Frink.
Pick up the story here and

murderer or, ifthrough Frink,

MRS. HENRY NUTTING, Holly
tiill, Fla, finds pride in owning what
is said to be the largest Easter lily
farm in North America. She has 70
acres OF great white Easter lilies that
sway in the breeze and send their
fragrant perfume in all directions for
about three months each spring.
Mrs. Nutting, whose record as
Red Cross nurse in the World war
brought her recognition from two
foreign nations, finds great satisfac-
ton in creating beauty, after person
ally seeing so much destruction and
horror from warfare.
For the past seven years she has
been in the business of raising
Easter lilies In Florida. She believes it
Is the most difficult form of gardening.
But her great reward comes when
the blossoms begin to unfold around
Easter time. Generally the flowers
start to appear late in March, but
this season they are expected much
later due to the severe cold weather
late in December, which halted the
development of the bulbs.
Hard Luckl
"When my husband and I first be-
gan to raise Easter lilies we bought
$500 worth of bulbs from Japan,
which we planted about 20 miles
from our present location" Mrs.
Nutting said. what a blow we had
that year! Every one rotted, be-
cause the soil was too wet.
I'VE then moved to Holly Hill and
tried out various drainage systems
which have developed successfully.

the flowers north for Easter. as well
as market our bulbs. The one year

the foot in locomotor ataxia.
When we come to apply these va
rious causes to ulcer of the stomach,
we tind that several of these causes
might operate. So far as mechani-
cal abrasion is concerned. we know
that in nursling calves, when they
are taken away from their mothers

GERS will be produced in the stom-
ach. 1t has been supposed that there
is human type of body which goes
with ulcer of the stomach, 1t being
distinguished by a thin. tapering
jaw. poor teeth and small jaw
bones. Perhaps the reason this type
of patient develops ulcer is that he
does not chew his food sufficiently.
This however, is rather far-fetched
explanation.
Under chemical causes we know
that we have an excessive amount
of acid in the stomach contents in
ulcer. but we do not believe that this

which indicate that focal infectlo

ulcer.
The question of trophic disturb

there are many indications that ulcer
may be hereditary. Out of $50 cases
of ulcer there was family history
of stomach trouble. usually ulcer, In

Aschner. while a controlled series of
200 cases showed ulcer in only Az

When We come to inquire the cause
of any ulcer. no matter where 1t is in
the body, We find that It may be due
to one of several causes. 1t can be
due to trauma or abrasion, mere
mechanical removal of the mucous
membrane. Second, il can be due
to such physical causes as burns.
Third. it may be due to chemical
causes, such as acids. Fourth. it may
be due to infection, such as occurs
to cause ulcer of the cornea of the
eye. Another cause Is lack of blood
supply to a part, or poor blood sup
ply. causing necrosis: This is what
occurs in ulcers of the skin of the
leg due to varicose veins. Lastly, it
may be due to what are called
"trophic" causes. as in nervous dis
