That he might be condemned to death was very possible, he thought ; but that the truth respecting the murder of Charles Sherwin would that day be revealed seemed to him very proâ€" blematical. The sergeant then proceeded to & plain narration of the facts as far as they were known. He called Davie the keeper, who related his finding of the body, and the incidents elro- ly following upon it. Told how, alter leaving Saunders with the body at the hut, he had gone to the marâ€" quis, and brought him to the hut. He gave his evidence reluctantly, with a glance now and again at the pale, composed face of nis masâ€" ter, as if apologizing for the neâ€" cessity of saying what he said ; and was about to step down with a sigh of relief, and wiping the persâ€" piration from his face, when Geraid got up. t The court stared at the young counâ€" sel, who looked“stlll younger in his nghminaytih P ns c msld cA c wig and gown than without It, and every one remarked that the counsel was as pale as the prisoner he was defending. The judge put up his glasses and bent a keen look on the young man, and asked his name of the clerk of the court. Gerald had only two questions to put in crossâ€"examination. "The marquis offered to go with you to the hut at once ?" ; " Yes, sir ; at once." Now, think carefully. Was his coat torn? Did he look like a man who had been engaged in a struggle with another man ?" * " No, sir. Certainly not, Â¥ir. His lordship was justâ€"just as he usually is, quiet and calm." * Gerald nodded, and Davie went down, and Saunders stepped into the box. His evidence need not be reâ€" peated here. He gave a clear, a masâ€" terly account of every incident that had occurred under his own eye on the night of the murder, and as he proceeded an awful slience fell upon the andience. It seemed as If they found it almost impossible to breathe or move, so intense was the strain upon their nerves As inch by inch of the panorama of facts was uaâ€" folded by Saunders, it seemed to most of them who listened to his dry, methodical volce that the marquis must be guilty. $ There was a pause when he had finished, and then Gerald rose. "As your lo<dship pleases," said Gieralkd. But the question had been asked, and the ju:; could supply the answer, and it had told upon them. Was it possible that a man like the marquis could have playâ€" «1 so mean a part ? As they looked at the tall, stalwart figure, the calm, sellâ€"possessed face, 1t seemâ€" e«1 impossible that he could have «done so, ‘"Now, as to this coat," said Gerâ€" ald. "It was lying on the chair in i conspicuous position, not _ hidâ€" Jden away ? It was there just as if it had teen thrown down when exâ€" changed for the smoking coat the marquis was wearing ?" "It was, sit." t o "And when you took it n&and the «dlagrger fell out, the marquls did not attempt to stop you, to prevent you ?" "No, sir; his lordship was quite calm." "Tell me; you say the body was warm when you found it. What time must have elapsed, in your opinion, between the nmurder and the marâ€" qubs‘ appearance in the hut ?" RSaunders thought a moment. "An hour, air."‘ "An hour. And the marquls was quite calm and #welfâ€"possessed, not only in the library, but in the hbut iteelf, in the presence of the body?" "Quite, eir."‘ "If I have not been misinformed, Mr. Saunders, you have had some experience in criminal cases. Wwill you tell his lordship and the jury il you ever found a criminal, a perâ€" «on who has afterward been conâ€" " Were there any marks of a struggle on the body or the clothâ€" Ing of the deceased, Mr. Saunâ€" ders ?" "None whatever, sitr." "There were no such signs or marks on the marquis ?" "No sir."* "Nor on the coat you found on the chair ?" "The deceased was a strong, powerful man ?" "Teos." "Then, if the marquis committed this murder, he must, in your opinâ€" on, have stolen upon the deceased like a footpad and stabbed him {rom behind ?"

The marquis raisged his head and looked at Gerald as he put the ques tion, but Gerald would not glance in his direction. "Yes, sir," replied Saunders. "That will do," said Gerald. The people drew a long breath. The young counsel had, at any rate, conveyed one or two distinct Impresâ€" sions to the jury : That the marquis, if he committed the deed, must have done it in the fashion of a sneaking footpad ; and that, unlike a sneaking footpad, he had made no attempt to remove the evidences of his crime, The two theories were incompatible. But the judge and the other lawyers knew that, notwithstanding this, Gerald Locke had not succeeded in shaking or getting rid of Saunders‘ terrible evidence. 1 gu Dr. Summers came next. He would have been called earlier, but he had been attending a serious case, and his evidence had been, by the agreeâ€" ment of the counsel, postponed. y â€" He gave his evidence clearly and distinctly.

"I did not want to go any further till after the adjournment for luncheon," and he knit his brows and closed his lips. > At this moment a telegram was handed to him, and, after reading it, he said, brightening up: "Call Gilos Foreman."

Tho judge looked up from his notes, the jury pricked up their ears, and thoe crowd in the court stirred as if in anticipation of a fresh phase of interest. At last the woman, who is at the bottom of every case, was to mako her appearance. They were so intent staring at the witness that only oneâ€"and that one was Lady Blanchoâ€"saw the marquis start. 4 "Go on," said Leslice.

A thrill ran through. the crowded audionce, and the judge joined the tips of his fingers together and lookâ€" ed with keen, thoughtful eyes at the dull face of the witness.

He felt overâ€" whoe!med by this last piece of eviâ€" doence. He saw that the chain was tightening round the marquis, and that even if he, Gerald, could find a weak link, he dared not attempt to break it, for in any such attempt he must drag Elaine still further into the case.

It is a falling away from a high hygenic standard, for the fly is a pestilential fellow. It must be admitted, however, that it is very diflicult to keep habitable places free from flies. Poisonous tlypapers are unsightly, and glutinâ€" ous cords and traps are not very pleasant accessories in the houseâ€" hold. Yet it is a matter not only of comfort but also of health that the fly should be excluded. ‘The fly may easily be a pathogenic agent owing to the fact of its choice of environâ€" ment being oftentimes of the most disgusting character. When a fly walks across a suitable culture medâ€" ium it leaves infection behind iIt, as shown in the colonies of organisms which develop on the points with which the insects‘ legs have been in contact. ‘The fly, therefore, should be driven out of our haunts. It is a curious fact that flies will not pass through netting even though the meshes be quite large, unless there be a source of light, as from a window, behind it. ‘Thus, in rooms with windows only on one side a net over the window will abâ€" solutely keep the flies out, although the meshes of tho net may be an inch "No!"

Fatiening Chickens. ‘The crate fattening of chickens is a profitable business for almost every farmer to engage in. It isa simple undertaking that can be managed by a member of the farmâ€" er‘s Tamily who is sufficlently inâ€" terested and enterprising to study the work and construct the fattenâ€" ing crates. No special bwilding is required in which to place the crates. Grain on hand, with the exception of corn or peas, when finely ground and mixed with skim milk or buttermilk, is {ed with proâ€" fit to the chickens. If it is necesâ€" sary to buy grain, fine ground oats is preerable. The cost of the foad for fattening averages ten cents per chicken. It is advisable to proâ€" duce chickens with whiteâ€"colored flesh, as whiteâ€"colored flesh is more palatable ‘tnan yellow, flesh; it is {firm, fine in grain and exceedingâ€" ly tender. There are fat globules distributed throughoet the flesh and under the skin. When the chickâ€" en is cooked, the particles of fat melt into and increase the juiciâ€" ness of the flesh. With unfatted chickens, water takes the place of the majority of the fat globules, When ‘the chicken is roasted the waler evaporates and leaves the meat dry. The muscles ol the crate farted chicken are more ed{blo through lack of exercise. To kill a lean chicken is wastelul. ‘The proâ€" portion of edible meat to bone and offal is so small, "Last year I experimented on a smal scale with crateâ€"{ed chickens and the result was so satislactory that this year I am going to preâ€" pare all wy fowls in that manner. I skould like you to send me the names of some reliable dealers in Ottawa or Montreal to whom I can skip the fatted chickens when ready." o fls t mQb Bcores of people do not think of trying Dr. Chase‘s Cintment for bleeding piles because they have used so many other treatments in vain and do not believe their allment curable.
