CHAPTER TX

Before she sat down In the Witness
chair, Agues stood for moment, fac
Ing the courtroom. She had been sworn,
facing the judge, who was beside her
now, at her right and little behind
her.
The jury. twelve men In two rows,
were at her left A court reporter,
with pencil and his book open, was
almost at her feet to her right.
Directly In front Of her stood Martin
O'Mara and over his left shoulder she
saw Myrtle Lorrle seated at a table.
Agnes would hardly have known
Myrtle. had not the newspaper pic
lures Of recent days prepared her for
her present appearance. Myrtle was
In black, with not even a touch OF
color except piping Of white In the
neck Of her dress and on the sleeves.
Black became her and made her look
even younger and slighter than she
was: and Ii made her skin whittier. She
had on no rouge at all, and little or no
lipstlck. She looked not In the least
like killer.
Mr.. Nordell was few feet from her,
seated at another table with two
younger men with books and papers.
That was the table of "the State" Be
yond were benches row after row,
where people sat and leaned forward.
You could feel-Agnes felt--the clash
Of the conflict which swayed fhem

Nordell outlined to the u men at last
selected-and the newspaper repeated
to all who read-the case against Myr-
tie Lorrie. 1t was bad for her; very
bad, as witness after witness built II
up. 1t was much worse than Agnes
had expected.
Agnes read II at home. For the
state had decided not to call her; and
Martin O'Mara told her that he could
give her at least two hours warning
before he would put her on the witness
stand.
She felt shaky and half sick again.
These were matters about Myrtle Lor-
RE which Martin O'Mara might not
have known about his client. Yet now
he had heard them; and he continued
to defend her. Indeed, 1t was plain
he was fighting for her only more
holly.
The newspaper writers spoke espe-
cially of how he fought. When Mr..
Nordell put question that might have
a damaging answer, the defense attor-
ney leaped to his feet.
II object, Your HonorI l object!"
"Overruled," said the judge, and told
Mr.. Nordell to proceed with the wit

Jeb brought with him, that night, the
late editions which carried the report
OF the afternoon session of the trial.

Two Kinds OF Rabies

There are two kinds Of true
rabies-frst, what is known as
dumb rabies and, second, furious
or violent rabies. In the first the
dog acts as il it has something
caught in it's throat. Generally be-
HAYES abnormally. Lower jaw be
comes rigid. Naturally dog with
this type Of rabies does little biting.
Condition OF his lower jaw prevents
it, In violent rabies the symptoms
are much the same as in the dumb
variety, with the evidences OF I'M
easiness or nervousness, and drool-
ing. In violent rabies the dog al
ways snaps at things or people.
That is the outstanding difference
between the two types.

WashinEton's Escape Cited

History tells how Washington,
colonel under General Braddock in
the French and Indian war OF ITS,
was one OF the few survivors in the
Inflated ambuscade Of July 8, but
there is sequel which records the
wonder OF his escape. Years after
ward an aged Indian chief came
from a long journey to meet him,
saying he had great wish to see
the man who was protected by the
Great Spirit, and could not be slain
in battle, how in that ambuscade,
he had specially singled out Wash
ington, bidding the others to DO so
also, without any effect, until they
were convinced he could not be shot
and ceased to aim at him

Some speculation is going on

that the securing process effected
by floods is a healthy situation,
as many of our streams have
been Silted up due to erosion, and
the securing will uncover spawn

This column strongly advocates
the closing of at least one of Mary

have no doubt that such a stream
