The city hall was crowded with people, as it was expected new evidence would be introduced by the prosecution, but none was forthcoming. The finding of the court was written out and read, to the effect that, whilo there was a strong suspicion attaching to the accused, there was no direct evidence against him, therefore he was ordered released from custody. The city will be out over $10 on the game and the province a few dollars besides. For Breaking the Uight Hour Law. Six muckers- -F. Kelly, F. Ege, P. llartigan, C. Holding, O. Wester, and H.

DAVIES OGDEN Copgright, 1904, bu A. H. Divles Ooden The big flower filled drawing room was brilliant with afternoon sunshine. Through the open window came the sound of the trot of horses' feet as they passed on the broad "Unter den Linden." Ransome Prentice looked about him with a sigh of satisfaction. It was good to be back in Berlin. Then he smiled at the girl who was handing him a cup of tea. "So here I am at last," he said. "And, now, tell me the news. You left America so suddenly that I had no chance to come and bid you goodby. How do you like your elevation to the rank of ambassador's daughter? And has anything exciting happened thus far? You see, I had to follow just to hear it all." The girl hesitated, playing with the spoons on the dainty tea table. "Tbere Is not much to tell," she answered slowly. "And yet there is one thing," glancing across nt him. "I think you will be pleased, as lt is largely due to your instrumentality. I should never have—have known him so quickly had it not been that, owing to your old friendship, I already felt as if hs wero no stranger when we met. Of course you can guess whom I mean. It is not announced yet, but I am going to marry Max von Witzleben." The man's cup clattered ln its saucer. "You—to marry Max!" he repeated. Then, "Do you—do you care for him so much?" ha asked. For a moment Miss Freeman frowned. But it was only Ransome. Ho and she had always teased and questioned and confided in each other. Yet she paused over tbe answer. "I-I do not think that I am the kind to care very deeply for any one," sho said soberly. "I admire Max. You have always told me how noble he was; how brave. And I adore bravery. My Idea of his character is really drawn largely from your letters." Prentice's lips twisted into a smile. "I was an enthusiastic chap in thoso days," he commented dryly. "I hops you have some better foundation for your affection than letters written by a boy ln the university. But I am forgetting what was partly my errand this afternoon. "Buffalo Bill" is to open ln Berlin tomorrow afternoon, and I thought perhaps you would like to go. It Is only patriotic for the Americans to turn out Should you care"— Miss Freeman nodded. "I suppose it would be the proper thing to do," she agreed. "I have not seen 'Buffalo BUI' since I was a child. They sent father a box, but he does not care to go, and I had not thought about lt. Suppose you come with us, I will ask Max, and we can take Frau- lein." A few minutes later Prentice rose to take his leave, and it was not until nfter Iiis departure that Miss Freeman remembered that he had forgotten to congratulate her. For the rest of tho day the girl was decftledly absent- minded. But the next afternoon, seated in tho box of honor in the big open atr arena, Miss Freeman appeared to have quite regained her normal spirits, chattering gayly with both men. Von Witzleben. precise, neat, with parted hair and pointed mustache, sat on her right, and the girl glanced critically from bts somewhat Impassive face to that of tho American, with its keen dark eyes and steady, clean cut mouth. Tho study of the two men was more absorbing than the show. Her attention had wandered from the ring and the flourish of trumpets which heralded tho Deadwood coach caused her to start The next moment a man pushed his way to their box and bowed. "Colonel Cody would be honored If any of the American ambassador's guests would wish to ride in the Dead- wood coach," the man suggested courteously. Miss Freeman, In sudden mischief, looked at her fiance. "What do you say to It?" she queried demurely. The German gazed back In horrified disapproval. "You go around in that coach and make a spectacle of yourself," ho gasped, "before all these peoplo! Aber, what a shocking klea! I could not allow it" into the girl's eyes there came a sudden gleam. She had not meant to do this thing. But ever since her spoiled babyhood a dare Iiud been to her spirit like fire to gunpowder. She lifted her head. "Thank you. We shall be glad to accept" she said to the man, who still stood, hat tn hand, awaiting her decision. "If you are afraid, pray remain here," she added defiantly to Von Wlt- aleben. "Will you come, Ransome?" "But"— began he. One glance at her set mouth showed tho futility of remonstrance. And wherever she called he would follow, be the consequences What tliey might. In alienee be let her precede him down tlie steps, Von Wlt- elebeii bringing up a sullen rear, Tho frauleln left behind wept In unheeded protest. It was not until the cooeh had fairly started that Miss Freeman realized all that Ibo bad brought upon herself. From her childhood she had always detested firearms. And these pursuing Indians! Hut, without flinching, she bore It all—the crack of rifles, the smoke which choked eyes and mouth, tbe fiendish yells. Then all at once sho became conscious Unit tho coach was swaying and humping strangely. A man sitting opposite her Buppresscd an oath. "I told Bill to exercise them horses," ho muttered. "And this blamed ring has mighty short corners. You better hold oa tight," ho added to the girl, "U this rickety old thing does break loose or turn over," expressively. Miss Freeman felt her heartbeats quicken. There was danger tben—real danger. From the box came the driver's voice In frantic abjurgatlon to the now thoroughly frightened animals. Miss Freeman turned toward Von Wetzleben. "Max," she whispered. But tho German, his face asby, bis eyes fixed and staring, sat with strained fingers clutching at the wooden door. He had quite forgotten the girl. A little sob broke from her parted lips. Were they going to die? A strong hand closed over hers, and, opening her eyes, through the smoke she saw Ransome, steady, calm, self controlled. "We shall pull through all right" ho said. "Don't be frightened, dear." Tho girl, conscious only of the word which had slipped inadvertently from his lips, caught her breath in the sudden shock of a great revelation. Ransome loved her—Ransome! , Ail at once she comprehended wby lt was that she had hesitated to announce her engagement until Ransoms should learn of it, why lt was that she had judged Von Witzleben from Ran- some's standpoint rather than her own, appreciated that it had been tbe fact of his intimacy witb Ransome which had been his chief attraction and how near sbe had been to never knowing. Now at last tu this supreme moment she grasped the trutb; knew that even as Ransome loved her, so she loved blm. And whether death or life lay before them, with tbat knowledge ln her heart, that touch on her hand, iho was content And then with one strong, mighty pull from above the horsei trembled down to qniet For a day or so the Berlin papers were rather sharp ln their criticism of the girl who had rendered herself so conspicuous, ^equally well born German girl would ever have done such a thing, they declared. But Miss Freeman, utterly glad in her new found happiness, only smiled in undisturbed thankfulness. Coleridge the Soldier. Subsistence could not be made on tho reading and writing of pamphlets or the means of livelihood obtained by the most eloquent and entrancing of conversations, and Coleridge, finding himself both forlorn and destitute in London, enlisted as a soldier in tbo Fifteenth (Elliot's) Life dragoons. "On his arrival at tbe quarters of tho regiment" says his friend and biographer, Mr. Gillman, "the general of the district inspected the recruits and, looking hard at Coleridge with a military air, inquired, 'What's your name, sir?' 'Comberbach' (the name ho had assumed. 'What do you como hero for, sir?' as if doubting whether he had any business there. 'Sir,' said Colo- ridge, 'for what most persons come- to be made a soldier.' 'Do you think,' said the general, 'you can run a Frenchman through the body?' 'I do not know,' replied Coleridge, 'as I havo never tried, but I'll let a Frenchman run me through the body before I'll run away.* 'That wlll do,' said tho general, and Coleridge was turned into the ranks."—English House Beautiful.

"Thus the dog seems to think about his dinner when prompted by hunger or about his home and his master when separated from them. Tho bird seems to think about its mate, its nest, its young, its enemies. The fox seems to think about the hound that it hears baying upon its track and tries to elude lt; the beaver seems to think about Its dam, tbe muskrat about ita house in the fall, the woodpecker abont the cell In the dozy limb which it will need as a lodging place ln tho winter- that is, all these creatures act as if they thought.

The Mygr.le tarantula sometimes spreads over six Inches square, but more frequently four or five Inches. A shaggy coat of hair covers the surface of tiie groat spider. It-Is supplied wltb 6lx long, bouy legs and two dangerous pedlpnlps, or strikers, each armed with a sharp sting and poison sac. Tbs strikers are frequently mistaken for two long legs, and from this arises the idea that the creature bas stings on its feet. Two powerful projections, resembling jaws, protrude from the head. Under each of these is a curved poison fang, similar to a cat's claw, but longer (exactly like those of a rattlesnake), which may be lifted, extended and hooked into the victim, A person thus stung or bitten must cut tlie tarantula away at onco, for the spider does not seem willing to unhook its fangs.

Writing to Tha Argus ln reference to an article on public speaking Justice Curran says: Your summary of the lecture brings to mind the lamented Hon. T. D. McGee. One evening ln 1866, I was walking with him across the old Haymarket, now Victoria Square. I was quite young then, but had already made a few attempts on the publio platform. McGee was dilating on the question you have treated so admirably—the necessity of thorough preparation before attempting to speak ln public. I can still hear his voice. "No one ever made a good speech without the preparation of time—no one ever made a great speech without the preparation of a lifetime." A little while before this conversation he had delivered a speech ln which he made the following quotation:— "Be thou like the great Apostle, Be thou like heroic Paul; * If a bold thought seek expression Speak lt boldly, speak lt all. Speak It boldly, nothing fearing, The gibbet, rack or rod; Speak lt boldly, all uncaring, And leave the rest to God." I told McGee how much I was struck by the lines, and he appeared gratified that I should have committed them to memory. When I asked him who had written them, he did not reply.

So great is the influence of the liver on the other organs of tho body, that once it is deranged, the whole system seems to be upset. There are no means by which you can so quickly and certainly obtain relief from torpid, sluggish liver action as by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. One pill at bedtime, and the result ls a thorough cleansing of the filter- lag and excretory systems, and new vigor and regularity for liver, kidneys and bowels. No family medicine has been more extensively used in Canada than Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and none has such a reputation for reliability and certainty of action.

A great many people on staying at an English hotel for the first time wonder how lt is that "boots" can return to the different rooms the footgear placed outside the bedroom doors to be cleaned. This is quite a simplf matter. All he does ls to take a piece of chalk, mark upon the sole of the boot the number of tbe room from which hs takes them and then sends them downstairs all together to be cleaned. When this has laeen done they are sorted, taken upstairs again and deposited outside their respective doors without the occupants of the different rooms knowing that they have been removed.

How to Hake the Sliver Quartet Drop Into the Hat. A very neat trick may be performed by any boy with a bat and a silver quarter. The quarter may be brand new, Just from tbe mint, but the hat had better be an old one, or at least one that its owner ls not very particular about for it ls likely to get a little rough handling. It must be of the pattern known as a "stovepipe," either silk or beaver. Lay lt on its side on top of a glass tumbler, and on tbe upper side of the hat place the quarter. Now what you ask one of your little friends to do is to knock the hat from under ths quarter so that the latter will fall into the tumbler. Every one that tries it wlll be sure to strike the hat on its brim, but that will only send it across the room and the quarter somewhere on the floor. When the feat has been pronounced impossible you make a few feints as if you, too, were going to strike it on tbe brim, and then'suddenly you give it a smart tap on the inside of the crown, when lt will Jump quickly out and let the coin fall directly down into tha tumbler.

Deaf Peraona Donl Get Sea.lclc. "Strange thing, but do you know that •leaf persons never get seasick?" said an old surgeon in the employ of one of the transatlantic lines recently.

I absolutely refused to believe it for a long time, but at lust I was driven to it on a visit where all the rest, family and guests, retired soon after dinner for an hour's rest I used to take a book and prepare to enjoy myself for that length of time, but this seemed to worry my hostess, who evidently did not feci comfortable to ga away and leave me alone.

Among the western newspaper men ——— whose lives are being reviewed iu this I scries of articles ls one who, for long u- 5 experience and close connection with the printing and publishing business in the west can be classed among the oldest. We refer to Mr. Neil Fox, manager of the Morden Empire. Mr. Fox was horn in the town of Clinton, Huron Co., Ontario, about 46 years ago, and after attending the public school till ho was It! years of age, was taken as "devil" on the New-Era. Mr. Holmes, the proprietor, took the new acquisition to the staff iu hand to show him the duties he was to perform, and the apprentice, upon seeing the conips. sticking type, thought ho was up against something that for him was unaccomplishable. However, as time passed, that which appeared to be impossible became easy and the New-Era devil became the fastest and most efficient compositor in the office, in fact his reputation for speed was widely known. In the spring of 1880 Mr. Fox could not resist the temptations of the west. Being offered a position he camo to .Nelson, which at that time was the prominent judicial centre of Southern Manitoba, and took the forenianship of the Mountaineer, published by Mr. J. F. Galbralth. In those days lt required a man who was able to do moro than stick type to be a nrinter. He WM required to have unlimited ingenuity, u thero were no type founderles at hand to supply all the wants of the trade. All kinds of devices had to be resorted to. Cases wero made by boring auger holes in spuares of thick Plank, antl when any display Hue out of the ordiuary was desired a piece of hoard and a Jack-knife had to fill Ine bill. Many of the oddities that Helped to equip the offlco at that time are still kept as relics. Before resorting to the home manufacture of such at the present time, most so-called up- todate printers would be apt to throw "I' Hie job.

The lichen is remarkable for the great age to which it lives, there being good grounds for believing that they endure as long as a hundred years. Their growth is exceedingly 6low, almost beyond belief, Indicating that only a little nourishment is necessnry to keep them alive. In a dry time they have the power to suspend growth altogether, renewing it again at the fall of rain. ThU peculiarity alone is enough to make ths lichen a vegetable wonder, as it is a property possessed by no other species of plant. Another interesting fact about lichens is that they grow only where the air is free from dust and smoke. They may be said to be a sure indication of the purity of the air, as they nrs never found growing in cities and towns, where the atmosphere is impregnated with dust, soot, smoke aud other Impurities.
