THE JUROR FROM BAY

By M. J. Phillips.

“Indictment against Samuel J. Hawkins.” read the indictment clerk in his singsong voice. “This information charges him with perjury in certifying to the presence in prison of fictitious persons and receiving fees from the county therefor to the amount of |l,289.70, said Samuel J. Hawkins being at that time and at the present time the sheriff of Bainbridge county. The indictment is before you." The grand Jury, first of its kind for years, had been in session in Bainbridge county for forty-two days, and its labors had resulted in the voting of seventeen Indictments. The name of Sheriff Hawkins was last on the list to be considered. There’ was a motley crowd on the sitairway of the courthouse waiting to bear the result of the Jury’s deliberations. deputy sheriff, his hands folded comfortably across his stomach,

“YOU WON’T LET ME EXPLAIN’’— HE BEGAN AGAIN.

■at at the head of the corridor leading to the ground glass door behind which the jury was deliberating. Some of the waiting throng about him were attracted by motives of curiosity only; others, restless and Impatient, were there to gather crumbs of information for friends who feared. Then there were turee or four newspaper men ■with pleasant, cynical faces and keen There was silence Inside the courtroom after the indictment clerk had Knlshed his reading. Juror Vanderroeck was first to speak. ‘‘l wouM like [to hear from Mr. Scarborough on this (matter." *The prosecutor smiled as he twisted Ha brown mustache. “You can’t shift any responsibility, gentlemen," he replied. “The law does not allow me to dictate as to who shall be Indicted. It's up to you.” ‘‘Boys, I wish you’d hear me on this matter.” The speaker was John Kerns of Bay township, a silent, kindly man, who during the tedious weeks of the inquisition had thought much nnd said little. There was a rustle of Interest as be rose, a tall, lanky figure in rusty black. His spare, lined face was emooth shaven, nnd he had the stoop of hard work in his powerful shoulders. John Kerns was only thirty years old, but he had never laseii regarded as young. His intimates thought of him, though, with affectionate respect that had nothing of .contempt in it as "Old John.” “I don't believe that we’d better indict Sam Hawkins.” he said. “I know him as if he was my own brother, for we were raised on neighboring farms. He ain’t bad; he's only weak. Sam would never have got into trouble if you'd left him on the farm. “Oh. I know all about it. and so does every man on this jury! Our party agreed t< trade sheriff for register of deeds, and so you fellows put up a poor candidate so Jim Connors eould ■win In a walk. But Ham didn't know ha was to l>e a sacrifice. He went in to win, and be did win! He had to mortgage bls farm to do It, nnd after be had been in awhile be found out be wasn't wanted ami that he’d have to walk the plank at the end of one term. AH the bosses want Jim Conners, and next fall he’ll be elected. The same accident don't happen twice. Ain't that so?” Nobody answered, though several had shifted uneasily during his talk. “Well,” continued the speaker, "Sam didn’t feel very gotxl when he found out what he’s up against. The mort gage was still on his farm, and he had to get it off this term or not at all. They say he’s made fictitious entries to collect fees ami board bills from the county. You don’t know what you'd done or I'd done under the same circumstances. Now, let's all shoulder a little of Sam’s responsibility nnd let him pay that money back. The county won’t be out anything, and to prosecute Sam would would break hearts. I’m going to vote against a true bill." They balloted in alienee. “None for a true bill; twenty-three against," said ♦be clerk, a little emotion even showing in the slngMong voice which had as a mere matter of routine blasted so many that afternoon. “No further Indictments."

"This jury stands adjourned sine die,” called the foreman. Laughing and talking like schoolboys, now that the long strain had been removed, the Jurors filed out of the room. Molly Dwyer was baking bread in the kitchen of her home, three miles from the county seat, and a pretty picture she made, her cheeks glowing from the ardent kiss of the fire, while her eyes rivaled the coals In brightness. The snow was falling steadily. Suddenly Molly stopped to listen. On the crisp air came the faint chime of sleighbells. The sound grew louder moment by moment. Molly went to the window to watch. Around the turn of the road swept a cutter drawn by a fine team of trotters. A man in a big fur coat was driving. It was Sam Hawkins,,the sheriff, and the light faded from Molly’s eyes as she watched the team sweep gracefully into her father’s driveway and never stop until it had brought up by the side porch of the house. The sheriff sprang from the sleigh, and, without waiting even to blanket the horses, rushed up the steps and into the house. With the assurance of the accepted lover he nodded and smiled genially to Molly’s mother in the sitting room, but did not pause. Instead he rushed Into the kitchen and with a cry of delight swept Molly into bls arms. He klssefl her eagerly on face and lips and hair. Although she submitted patiently to the caresses the girl did not respond to them, and a half unconscious sigh of relief escaped her when the young man finally released her and stood back beaming, to look at her. “Hurray, Molly I” he cried. "The grand Jury has adjourned and I’m not indicted. ’ “Was there any danger, Sam?” she asked quietly, although her attitude expressed intentness. In his relief from the strain of self Imposed silence and gnawing anxiety during the six weeks that the Jury had been in session the man was too wrapped up in selfish joy to notice anything amiss. “Was there any danger?" he echoed. "Well, I should think there was. I was caught with the goods, all right. And who do you think saved me? Old John Kerns. Do you know, Molly,” he babbled on, almost drunk with exhilaration, I used to fancy Old John was sweet on you, but I saw my mistake when I heard what he did today.” The girl was white about the lips, but her voice was low, almost gentle. “Then you did steal from the county, as they said you did?” Sam looked up quickly, for he had noted the danger signal. "Oh, no, Molly: steal is hardly the word, but”— “Did you steal from the county?” His face fell suddenly. “You won’t let me explain”— lie began again. “Did you?” “I suppose some of them call it stealing. What of it? I’m going to pay It back.” Then rage at the men responsible for this complication overcame him. “It serves them right. They put me up to knock me down, and they’ll have to watch things the balance of my term: that’s all. But what of it?” he asked. “What of it?” Her scorn and loathing seemed to crush him. “What of it? This much: No Dwyer ever married a thief, and I’m not going to lie the first one. Here’s your ring” mechanically he took the extended bauble and slipped it in his pocket—“but before you go 1 want to tell you wt»y John Kerns got you off—because he thought I loved you and that It would break my heart if you were indicted; that's why. And, thank God, I’ve found out before it’s too late that .John Kerns cnres that much for me, because”—and she raised her head proudly —“I care for him Just as much." Then she went crimson, for Kerns stood In the doorway. As John advanced Into the room with face alight the sheriff slipped out without a wool. The chime, of his sleighbells grew fainter and fainter, to die out finally in the distance. And all was well.

Peacock Feathers.

Unhu'klness seems to be. confinedto the bringing of the tail feathers of Juno's bird Into a house. I am not aware that this Idea Is held outside this country, and If it is confined to England many various cansea may have led to the belief, which possibly arose In comparatively modern times —no earlier than the crusades. Nothing is more probable than that several crusaders brought home the gorgeous feathers as curiosities, a strange sight and so likely to make a deep Impression. Nothing is easier to conceive than that some misfortune—death from disease, loss of wealth or other “bad luck”—may have happened to more than one possessor of the beautiful feathers and that they would on that account soon be credited with being the cause. A belief of this' kind once started Is of rapid growth and very long lived. London Notes and Queries.

The Typewriter Sponge.

“The worst sponge In New York," said the stenographer. "1$ the typewriter sponge. He gets all his work done by the employees of his friends. He drops into the office, ostensibly for a chat with the boss. Presently he looks toward his victim and says In a careless, offhand way? ‘Oh. by the way. Is your stenographer busy now? If not I’d like her to do a little typewriting for me. It will take only a few minutes.’ “The chances are that she is knocking the very daylights out of the machine at that minute, but the manager Is too polite to call his attention to the fact, so she does thf work. Usually it takes her from one to two hours. All the pay she gets Is a mere ‘thank you.' lots of girls wh6 are bothered this way by hangers on.”—Newport Sun.

Odds and Ends.

A Gunner exceedingly canny One morning remarked to hi. granny, “A oanner can can Anything that he can, But a oanner can’t can a can, can he? Sin is sexless. Heaven is a reward,' not a gift. Not all “high flyers” are aerialsts. The greatest luck is born of pluck. It requires trials to make triumphs. Honest sweat makes sweet slumber. Any coward can do the popular thing, A cinch in the hand is worth two in the mind. A little knowledge of how to handle a gun is a dangerous thing. An honest vote is the best medicine for the ills of the body politic. A life measured only by length of years is usually a life wasted. It usually takes less time to go around than to find the shortest route, A lie that is half truth is not improved much by reason of its better half. Everything is profit that comes under the pencil of the amateur chiqken raiser. Science has yet to discover Jan opiate as soothing or an explosive as deadly as love. What some men believe to be a crisis in their lives is usually merely an incident. Men who pose in the limelight should be careful of what they do in the twilight. It is very few persons who ever have a chance to look a gift horse in the mouth. A dollar-owned man is of less worth to the community than a man owned dollar. It is mighty hard for the man who has to take laughing gas to see the point of the joke. When a man begins "flying high” it is a pretty good sign that he hasn’t been walking straight. It is a mighty poor astrologer who can not predict whatever the man wants who is paying the bill. Frequently the young lady with a piano will play for the man next door without having been asked. You can depend on more steady results from the garden when the man with the hoe is a woman. -It would be a much happier world if the postmen could be broken of the habit of leaving duns in the mail box. The man who says he is at home where his hat is off changes his mind when a cyclone come along and lifts his lid, If there is anything more ridiculous than an old maid who tries to act giddy it is an old man who tries to act coltish. A prophet who can prophesy to the profit of others fills a long felt want and a long leather pocketbook at the same time. Occasionally you hear of a man having more money than he knows what to do with, but no one ever heard of a woman being in that delightful condition.

THE CIRCUS COMING.

Gollmar Bros.’ Greatest of American Shows. The billboards are covered with many colored advertisements announcing the coming of Gollmar Bros.’ Greatest of American Shows, Circus, Museum Menagerie and Hippodrome. Judging from notices appearing in newspapers published in towns where the shows have exhibited already this season, the establishment is much larger than ever before. It is said that the street parade is a magnificent spectacle and that a larger number of wild wild animals are shown in open dens than in any other circus on the road. Our exchanges state that it is a fact that the Gollmar Bros do exhibit ja monster blood sweating hippopotamus in their menagerie and that their horses are perfect animals and splendidly trained. They have a herd of monster trained elephants and in their immense zoological collection are to be seen the rarest wild animals, including the mysterious valk vark, the only specimen on exhibition in the world. The press is unaminous in endorsing the Gollmar Bros.’ Shows as clean, free from graft of every kind and of the highest class in point of general merit. They will exhibit here Tuesday, July, 31, 1906, giving two performances; doors open 1 and 7p. m. Free street parade at 10 a. m. A few Weber wagons and beds left yet, and'will sell at a bargain.

STATE FAIR.

The Indiana State Board of Agriculture is sending out the premium list for the State Fair which . opens on Monday, September 10th, for five full days. The program shows that the exhibits are to be in position early Monday morning, and that the attractions on that day will be on the same elaborate scale as on any other day of the Fair. The board is determined this year to extend the Fair over a longer period than in any other year. It hopes to obtain half fare rates on all interurban lines entering Indianapolis on the first day of the Fair for children and old soldiers. Although the Fair is weeks it is evident that the Board could use twenty acres more of ground for machinery exhibits. Weber’s Band, of Cincinnati, one of the best in the country, will spend the week at the Indiana Fair, Leo Stevens and his airship, Vaudeville and Acrobatic features and other events will make up the outdoor attractions each day. The first day of racing will be on Monday. A large number of changes in the plans of the Fair have been made The entries in all departments close on Sept. Ist. The premium list will be sent free to those who address the Secretary, Charles Downing, State House, Indianapolis.
