He thanked heaven as the poor fox hunter Was took from the evil to come and hadn’t lived to see his daughter a thief, and then, after a lot of fierce Justice that fell like hail on the ears of the frantic woman, he inclined to mercy as his way always was. “You’re young 'yet, and for your sake," he said, “and for your mother’s sake, and your father’s memory, I be gotng to spare you, Joanna. I say this in the solemn minute, Joanna Toms. Be out of my house in five minutes, and I won't proceed against you. The awful wickedness you’ve done shall be hid in your heart and ours, and I pray .God to have mercy upon you and turn your soul to right- eousness before it’s too late. And you can send for your box in the morn- ing.7, PART III. Then she spoke. ,, . “I'll go,” she said. “But I say here afore you all, and I’ll swear to it in the name of my dead father, that I never touched one of them things and I don’t know more than you how they got in my box.” “I could wish for your peace and hope of heaven you’d take another line," replied her master, but she only shook her head. She was calm now and steadfast as a rock. Then she went up to her room, under the roof of Four Ways, took her packet of letters and went straight away out. of the farm without another word to any of ’em. _But the night work wasn’t done with, for while the girl tramped home, With deabli in her heart, no doubt, Thomas Turtle debated on the mat- er. To her parents’ great astonishment, Susan stuck up for her ruined friend, and despite the glaring facts, vowed tr-at Joanna never could have done it. " ’Tis beyond her nature,” she said. “And I wouldn’t believe it-if an angel said she’d stole our things. She couldn’tâ€"she’s not built to do it. There’s a wicked plot hatched against her, for she couldn’t tell a lie, or act a. part. I never knew such a downâ€" right truthful girl in my life.” "Then, if not her, who?" asked Mr. Turtle. “Who under this roof would seek to ruin her this way?" But Susan couldn't tell. “I’ll never believe it. We’ve got her word,” she answered. “And her word's her bond. And God will right her," she declared. But Farmer was impatient at this, and who hall blame him? He thought he’( been uncommon Chris- tian about it and gave it as his opinâ€" ion that few would have acted so kindly as he had. They talked to no purpose and was just going to their; beds when old Nat Lucas, head man at Four Ways, come running in to ’em from his tallet. where he slept. over the stables. He was clad in his trousers and shirt and no more. “God's goodness!” he. said. “Us be afire! ’Tis the new ricks in the cor- ner of Jacob's field, or else ’tis the cow byre down under.” The ' ran to the door and there, sure enoug , they see red fire blazing not half a mile off and lighting half the' The farm sloped down to Dart. 3k . va e, and on the edge of the hill, where was Jacdb’s fieldâ€"a five-acre croft under wheat that yearâ€"â€"rose up a great glare with flame flickering through i The night was still and 'starless d the blaze arose steady out of t dark, Farm ‘ got into his boots so quick as he c old and Susan ran and roused her brother, who’d gone to bed, and Lucas called up another man that dwelt hard by.

I don't think in the full flush of the fight, nor yet after, that anybody Lucas with him, and it was Nat, pok- ing about in the char, as found what threw a cruel, ugly light on the job. For he come across a piece of paper half burned with writing upon it, and he also picked up a handkercher, and he gave them to Thomas Turtle. Farmer looked at ’em, then put ’em in his pocket and stood like a stone man staring at the rising sun. He could hardly believe his own eyes; but there weren‘t a shadow of doubt, and, after he’d sent Nat oil“ to Lower Town for the police, he went to his house place and called his wife and put the handkercher in her hand. “W}io’s be that?” he asked. She looked at it and answered: “One belonging to Joanna Toms. There's ‘J. T.’ worked in the corner. Susan gave her six for her birthday last July.” “And read what be on this scrap of paper, mother, please." Mrs. Turtle took the burned sheet and read so much as was left to read. ‘f‘My darling Jo: I may get home a bit after Christmas and then with luck it’s ’ ” “Turn over,” said Mr. Turtle. His wife done so and read: “‘No more sea for me then, but farming and a cottage and Mrs. Joanna Truscott. Then we’ll ” “Found alongside where the stacks was,” said Farmer. “That’s how I’ve been paid for my mercy. But now .’tis all over and she’ll go where she belongs~wicked, young devil.” And that night Joanna slept in clink at Ashburton lockup. She stood her trial at the assizes and the case went against her from the first. Everything came out, of course, and to them skilled in such afi‘airs, who only look at the facts and don’t take no count of human charac- ter, there could be but one end of it. She said, so far as the things in her box were concerned, that she knew naught about ’em and had never put ’em there; while, as to the stacks, she could only swear that she knew inaught about ’em neither. She said that when she come to look at her lover’s letters one, the last, was miss- ing from her parcel, and, as for the hanlkerchief, she said she’d never used any of ’em, but kept ’cm stored among her treasures as being too good to use, and for that matter the other five was found in her box, and they had not been used. Her mother took her oath that Joanna came home, on the night she was sent ofl’ from Four ways, by 11 o’clock, and Nat Lucas swore he’d first caught sight of the fire through the little window in his sleeping place at a bit after 10, so the time fitted exactly right, and no- body in his senses ever doubted that -she’d gone off in her rage and set fire to the ricks on her way home. It was a simple, everyday sort of arson, according to‘the law, with everything in its place, all very orderly and ac- cording to human nature and no mys- tery anywhere. But arson is a very serious business, as the culrrit found, for she got three years and no sym- pathy from anybody on earth but her mother and Susan Turtle. The poor girl vanished according- ly, and when Bob Truscott came home from sea after the New Year and went first thing to the lodge where 'Mrs. Toms still dwelt, he didn‘t sur- ;prlse her by no means so much as she surprised him. "I‘was a very ,‘cruel shock for the poor chap when l he listened to the girl’s downfall and heard she was put away for three ,niortal years. He was a good sort of man and wouldn't believe a word. In Struth, he properly raved about it and [didn't rest, hand or foot, till he'd got ipermission to see Joanna.

Meanwhile bruin had changed his plans. and was climbing the. mountain to the same shelf on which the hunt~ 91s were walking. As they made their way cautiously round a projecting point, with the woman in the lead, they met him face to face at a dis- tance of less than thirty paces. The moment he came into full view the woman threw her rifle to her shoulder and took a quick shot. The bear crumpled up and rolled far down the mountain side, and when the hunters reached him he was stone-dead. What would have happened if the shot had missed is hard to conjecture. No hunter would choose to shoot a grizzly at thirty paces. The guide was well armed, but if the woman's shot had failed, he would have been at too close quarters to have done anything effec- tive. It all happened so quickly that there was no chance for comment or advice. o __._¢.â€"~ 0 Big Medical Fees. The $60,000 fee said to have been paid to Dr._ Deblet, the fdmous French surgeon, for attending the late King of Greece, although a big sum as medi- cal payments go, by no means estab- lishes a record. A famous British physician, Sir Mor- . . c ell Mackenzie, received just about tentative arrangements cal) for at double this~$100,000, with extras for travelling and hotel expensesâ€"for at- tending the Emperor Frederick of Germany. Dr. Lorenz, of Vienna, the "bloodless surgeon,“ was paid $160,000 by Philip J. Armour, the Chicago “’meat king," for._ curing his little daughter of hip disease. But then he was detained in America for four months over the job. Another famous. bloodless surgeon, Dr. James Gale/was offered $250,000 by a wealthy patient suffering from lameness, on the principle of “no cure, no pay." Gale accepted the condi- tions, effected a complete and perman- ent. cure, and received his feew prob- ably the biggest on record. The first Baron Dimsdale, for u very brief attendance on the Empress Catherine of Russia. received his title. $50,000 in cash, an annuity of $2,500 a year for life, and $5,000 for the ex- penses of his journey between Lon- don and St. Petersburg‘ and back. 0 o.oâ€"%~~ ~74 The tongue of a giraffe measures, on an average, two feet in length.

With the thermometer registering at noon one hundred and thirty de- grees Fahrenheit, says Popular Mech- anics, a party of professional men made ice near an oasis in the Sahara Desert and saved the life of a com: rade who suffered from malignant fever. At seven o'clock in the oven- ing the men shoveled,down through the hot sand to a cooler stratum and formed a pit about eighteen inches deep. On the level bottom of the de- pression they placed a blanket that measured about five by eight feet. Then, drawing on the supply of camel fodder, they covered the blanket with chopped straw. From the oasis they drew water and covered the blanket to a depth of half an inch. As the night advanced the temperature fell, and at midnight frost crystals formed on the floating straw. At three o'clock ' the straw was embedded in a sheet of‘ ice. ‘ 1 Although as yet no great success' has been obtained in the utilization of i , solar energy for mechanical purposes, l ‘steps in that direction have uudeui-i ably produced worthwhile results.
