They expected to leave today for Sandborn, their future home, where the Hev. Owen will be pastor of the Christian church. Someone thought one of the city mail carriers had turned into a drummer boy. But the large package, like a well wrapped drum, secured about his soulder was nothing more nor less than a parcel sent by post. He delivered the same to the Teeple Brandyberry and Peterson store, and it is said the strange looking package was a hat. R. C. Huffman, near Lawrenceburg, has an ambitious hen that brought off a brood of thirteen chicks on Christmas day. This hen laid 250 poogweight eggs last year, besides making this hatch. Mr. Huffman has taken several first prizes on the hen, and has refused $l5O for her several times. She is three years old, and she has been so busy laying that this is the first brood she has hatched. It is said that Charles Klein contemplates writing ten plays on subjects of public interest “The Lion and the Mouse," dealt with those high in politics and the millionaire class. "The Third Degree” strikes telling blows at police methods in extorting confessions by the “sweating" process and deals with those high in social circles. {so effective have been the results of these two dramas that all are waiting his third expose of some abused privilege. — RETIRING FARMERS Who wish to locate in city can buy residence on West Monroe street, two squares from new imineran church.

THE THIRD DEGREE— 4ontfaM*<l. ( sheet, Mr. Howard Jeffries, Sr., ana he won’t consent to my taking up your husband's case.” There was a shade of sarcasm in Annnie's voles as she asked calmly: “Can't you do it without his consent?" Tbe lawyer looked at her grimly. "I can,” he blurted out, “but—l won't." Her eyes flashed as she replied quickly. "Well, you ought to—" The lawyer looked up in amazement. "What do you mean?" he demanded. "It’s your duty to do it," she said, quietly. "Your duty to his son, to me, and to Mr. Jeffries himself. Why, he's so eaten up with his family pride and false principles that he cah't see the difference between right and wrong. I You're his lawyer. It’s your duty to put him right. It's downright wicked of you to refuse —you’re hurting him. , Why, when I was hunting around for a lawyer one of them actually refused to take up the case because he 1 said old Brewster must think How- ' ird was guilty or he’d have taken it up himself. You and his father ar* putting the whole world against him, and you know it” , « The judge was staggered. No one in his recollection had ever dared to speak to him like that. He was so astonished that he forgot to resent it, and he hid his confusion by taking out bls handkerchief and mopping his I forehead. , "I do know it," he admitted. “Then why do you do it?” she snapped. The lawyer hesitated, and then he said; "I —that's not the question.” Annie leaped quickly forward, and she replied: "It’s my question—and as you say, ; I've asked it 50 times.” The lawyer sat back In his chair and looked at her for a moment without speaking. He surveyed her critically from head to foot, and then, as if satisfied with his examination, said: “You're going on the stage?” She nodded. “I’ve had a very big offer.” The judge leaned forward, and In a low voice, so that no one in the outer office might hear, he said: “W»ll, I'll give you twice as much if you refuse the engagement.” She laughed ironically. “You mean that my father-in-law will give it,” she said, lightly. Then she went on: “You know it’s no use your asking me to concede anything unless you agree to defend Howard.” The lawyer shook his head. “I can’t —it’s impossible.” “Then neither can I," she exclaimed, defiantly. Judge Brewster could not refrain from smiling. This young woman had actually enveigled him Into an argument. Almost mockingly, he said: "So you're determined to have me." “Yes,” she said, simply. “But I don’t argue criminal cases." “That’s just it,” she exclaimed, eagerly; “my husband is not a criminal. He Is Innocent. I don't want a lawyer who is always defending criminals. I want one who defends a man because he isn’t a criminal.” Judge Brewster waved his hand contemptuously. “Go and see some other lawyer—there are plenty of 'em.” She leaned eagerly forward. Her face was flushed from excitement, her eyes flashed. “There's only one Judge Brewster," she exclaimed. "He’s the greatest lawyer in the world, and he's going to help us. He Is going tn save Howard’s life." The Judge shifted uneasily on his chair. He didn’t like this forceful, persistent young woman. Almost fretfully, he said: “You always say that. Upon my word. I shall begin to believe It soon." “I shall say It again," she exclaimed, “and again every time I see you.” The lawyer turned round. There was a comic look of despair In his face which would have amused his visitor had her errand not been so serious. “How often do you intend that shall be?" “Every day," she replied, calmly. “I shall say It and think it until—until it comes true." Judge Brewster tried to feel angry, although inwardly he had hard work to keep from smiling. With pretended indignation, he said: “You mean that you Intend to keep at me until I give way—through sheer exhaustion?" She nodded. “That’s It exactly,” she said. The lawyer gasped. “Well, I must say you—you—you’re very brave.” Annie shook her head. “No, I’m not,” she <sald, earnestly. ‘l’m an awful coward, but I’m fight.ng for him. Howard Jeffries lifted me up when I was way down In the world. He gave me his name. He ?ave me all he had, to make me a better woman, and I’m grateful. Why, even a dog has gratitude, even a dog will lick the hand that feeds him. Why should I hesitate to express my gratitude? That’s all I'm doing—just paying him back a bit of the debt I owe him, and I'm going to move Heaven and earth to bring his father wound to my way of thinking. I’ve got you already—” The judge bounded to his feet Could his ears have heard aright? “Got me already?” he exclaimed. ‘What do you mean by that?” Annie returned his angry look with the utmost calm. She was playing her cards well, and she knew It. Sh* had hit the old man in a sensitive place. Quietly, she went on: “You'd say ‘yes' In a minute if it woMti't for Mr Jaffriaa ” (To be ConUnuad)
