The defense also presented 37 out ef a total of 63 character witnesses, all hailing from Clay, the defendant's home county. They testified Higgin botham was of good character. •everal verbal clashes have oc curred since the opening of the trial, particularly when the defense charged a "slush fund” had been col lected in North Dakota to aid in the prosection of the case and that the main reason G.

Ijouis Ranrelt, It, 1339 South Eleventh street, lost, a thumb and finger Tuesday night when a raiiiioii rracker exploded prematurely in Ilia hand. The Imy was shooting fire crackers near Eleventh nnd William streels with several friends. It was the first accident from fire works reported to police tills Fourth of July. “Fourth of July isn't what it useg to be 20 years ago"’ Fortunately, the small boy of to day has no recollection of those days of shot and shell, or from his throat would come a mighty wall for the glory that has departed from the glorious Fourth. Among small boys encoutered on Farnam street between Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets Tuesday aft ernoon. no less than six youngsters, apparently of sound mind and health, were found who did not intend to celebrate the holiday in any way at all. Others planned modest celebra tions, but the lurid Fourths which their fathers remember, are a thing of the past. Perhaps dad has been careful not to inflame his son's Imagination too much with tales of the good old fourths. Cannon crackers pall when one is 40 years old or so, and there is not much Joy in firing blank car tridges do the man who has been through the European war. Fourth Different Now. We celebrate in a different fashion today. The tin can rests in peace upon the dump, instead of being sent to glory with a charge of gunpowder underneath it. The street ear pro ceeds unmolested down the street, where formerly it had to charge through a. barrage of crackling tor pedoes like a fusillade of rifle fire. The glorious Fourth used to begin, so far as the celebration was con cerned, along about June 15. That was the time when boydom began to lay in its supply of fire crackers, cannon crackers, blank cartridges and super torpedoes. For boydorn be lieves in preparedness when it comes to the Fourth of July. And of course all these new acquisitions had to be tested out at once. The result was such that even to a discriminating ear. there was not much choice be tween the holiday and the two weeks preceding it. In the good old days the sun al ways used to shine, not only on the FOurth of Itself but on the days lead ing up to that grand climax. It seemed as though Jupiier Pluvius had patriotically agreed to chain up his thunders In order to give the lesser artillery on earth a chance to be heard. All this is now a thing of the past. Blank cartridges have been banished from our streets and cannon crackers driven into the company of liquor. The police department threatens with direst punishment those who hurl torpedoes on the street car track or under feet of persons. How Is the small boy taking all these changes in his favorite holiday? Philosophically for the most part, if the boys questioned on Farnam street are a fair sample. Some of them did not hanker particularly for the forbidden pleasures, because, as they carefully explained, they had never shared in them. On being ques tioned, however, they owned up that they wished the police department hadn’t made tlie regulation. One self-reliant youngster of about 12. wear a Boy Scout uniform, gave his opinion that fireworks ought to be kept away from the younger chil dren, hut a Scout should he trusted with anything he wished to fire off. Others were frankly for the old Fourth. Three young unregeneratea with snapping eyes boasted posses sion of some "five imhers." with which they proposed to "get dad out of bed at 5 in the morning.” Half of the boys questioned planned to go out to Fontenelle park for the public exhibit of fireworks, but It. was clear that the part of the day's cele bration which Interested them was not the display but was that in which they could make the biggest noise. Young America is evidently not converted to the Idea of a safe and sane Fourth, but appears to be yielding with good grace to the de mands of Its elders. Communist Russia Shocked to Learn Officers Going Back to Czarist Code By Associated Press. Moscow. July 4—Communistic Rus Fia was shocked today into the reali zation that some of its army officers are adopting the old customs and code of honor of the czarlat regime, along with their new brilliant uni forms and their decorations, when the trial began before the supreme mill* tary court of the victor in the first duel between two communistic army officers. A cavalry officer named Tertoff, who about a month ago killed his former friend. Dyakonoff. la one dr fendant charged with murder. A pretty young dramatic student, Nina Toehavelll, over w hoin the duel was fought, and who witnessed it, is an other defendant charged as an ac complice. Th« officers who were members of the staff of the college of the mili tary academy, it was testified, kissed each other gravely. In old time Rus sian duelling style, and then waved the girl away while they proceeded with the duel. Mile. Toohavelll stood nearby and after the firing ran to Dyakonoff and held the dying man'a head, while the victor called an ambulance. In the charge against Tertoff, the court said that he discredited his call ing of a red warrior by practicing an obsolete conception of honor held by the old feudal caste and the caarist artny, which was inimical to the spirit of a society of proletariats. The court room was thronged with offi cers. Madden Vi ill Introduce Bill to (lilt Army Budget New York, July 4.—Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, chair man of the house appropriation com mittee, said tonight, on the eve of his departure on the leviathan, that lie Intended to introduce a hill at the next session of congress to cut the army appropriations. lie would recommend, he asserted, a reduction in the number of army posts from 240 to SO. He also said he believed the Presidio on the Pacific coast should he sold, and as It was worth *20,000,000 Its sale would be proper. He declared he favored adequate air servire and antiaircraft guns for the Panama canal zone.

Other women encountered big and moving things in their lives, knew adventure and excitement, bad some thing to look forward to, something to look back on. But she had noth ing but stagnation. And nobody to care what she had, because they all assumed tha>, if sawdust and chips were good enough for them, that diet ought to be good enough for any one. But wasn’t there ever to be any thing for her, between the deadly flat j propriety of things like those awful progressive euchre parties in Belton and that sort of thing? Isabelle came into the room now, floor brush and cleaning clothes in hand. She was surprised to And her mistress still before her dressing table at half-past 10 in the morning. To herself she made the comment, not by any means for the first time, “Well, ttie good (tort certainly never created a lazier good-for-nothing.” Aloud she said respectfully, "I beg mariame's pardon for not knocking. I thought the room was empty. Do I distrub madame by coming to clean?” Madame got up hastily, murmured a "no, oh, no.” and disappeared down the hall. Isabelle opened the win dows, fell on her knees and set to work with energy, suppressing llest her mistress still be within ear-shot) the lively dance-air which came to her lips, as she rattled the brush against the furniture and base boards. She, would be 11 at her next birthday. What a lovely spring day, how sweet the air was. Jeanne had promised to let her walk out beyond the city walls next Sunday afternoon with Pierre, and she had a new pair of shoes, real leather shoes, to show off there. Perhaps Pierre would take her to a conAserte and buy her some eandled chestnuts! ller pulse beat strong and full, the dance tune Jigged merrily Inside her head, she reached far under the bed with her brush, and enjoyed so heartily the elastic stretch and recoil of tho muscles in her stout shoulders, that she reached again and again, nit hough there was rio need for it. "Jig! Jig' Pr-r-rtt” went the dance tune in her head . . . new shoes . . . sunshine . . • candied chestnuts . . . Pierre . . . kisses. Her mistress, detesting the sight of Isabelle’s broad, vacuous face had walked aimlessly away, anywhere to escape the slatternly flap of her heed less sandals, and the knock of her brush as she went through the never varying routine of the morn.ng clean ing. Around and around, every slow dawn brought exactly the same se quence of tiresome, insignificant events. Only stolid, vegetable natures like Isabelle's could endure it. Flora's small, thin, white hands fluttered pite ously out into the air an though try ing physically to lay hold on some thing else. There must be something else. The tenia stood for a moment in her blue eyes, not so blu® now as they had been—oh, she knew how they were fading’ She went through the corridor into the salon, and pulling the curtains aside, stepped Into the alcove where! I her writing desk stood. Hut she had no intention of writing .i letter. To whom? If she wrote what sire (really felt, there was nobody to un-J iderstand her. She did not now. as had been her habit in the first days, go to the window and amuse an idle hour by looking down on the crowd below, the ox drivers, the fish women,! the soldiers, the Spanish pe•Idlers, | all the bright-colored, foreign throng i that had seemed to her like a page out of a l«w>k. Not for nothing bad she lived four years in Bayonne! That first simple candor of hers was darkly dyed with new knowledge, she knew now that people talked about a woman still young enough to l*o de su able, who showed h* i self an open window’. She knew' they talked, and she knew what they said. That hearsay knowledge had been sharp ened by her gradual perception of the wav certain men among the pass ers by had looked up at her; and It had been driven deeply home one day by one of those men. As she leaned out, her fair hair bright in the son, a passer by, a well-dressed man with a walking stick in his hand, had stared hard at her. caught her eye. hesitated and looked again. Ilora had riot avoided his eye Why should she? ft was early In her life in the half Spanish town. Hhe d«d not fear men's eyes. When he saw this he turned and mounted the stairs to ring the bell. Isabelle had let him in. not knowing him from any other caller, lie stepped quietly to the salon, where the Indy of the house, not dreaming that imv one had enteied, still stood before the window. When she turned in answer to a discreet Iffile cough on hts part, she had seen him stand ing there, hat in hand, waiting, with a singular little smile ,,ri It * lips, a smile she never forgot. Oh, he had been perfectly polite, in | deed quite desolated at having made a mistake, and had speedily bowed himself nut of the place, apologising gracefully to the moment nf door • losing Hut that very day, Flora Allen had the swathing In* n curtains put hack in their original position, covering every Inch of the glass, anil when dusk fell, she was always the first to think of drawing the heavy damask curtains over them, so that them seemed to be no windows at all in the room. What whs it she had not done which other Women did to let them into the center of Ilf*, while sh»* was exiled to the outer fringes" Ilovv w o It that while other women * arms seemed to close about warm, living substance*, hers grasped at shadows. < »r did other women only pretend to be satisfied, for fear of fining the (mnpl liie.-s which echoed .n her ears, ni"ii* and more loudly'* < Did they really and honestly find the absorbing Joy in their children, which whs the sentimental tradition? And if they did, how did they man age it? .She loved Marise, nobody lmd a nicer iitlle girl, nor a prettier. But tlie plain facts were that, a little girt and a grown woman were very different beings, with very different needs and interests. There was noth ing she would not do for Marise, she often told herself, if .Marise needed it. But Marise apparently did not need a single thing her mother could do for her, any more than any healthy little? girl absorbed in her school and play. There was no sense in doing uninteresting tilings for people when tiipy were just aa well off without them. She often looked at Marise across the dinner table, fresh and well groomed by Jeanne's competent hands, and wondered with a sincere bewilderment how any one could ex pect her to make an occupation out of loving a very busy, self-centered, much-occupied little girl, who left the house before her mother was out of bed, was gone nil day, spent most of her free hours with her music teach er and in the nature of things went to bed just at the beginning of the evening Flora had come to the conviction that the European custom of sending a servant around with children wan based on a realistic recognition of facts. It was better for both sides: for she knew' that, although she tried to lie patient, Marise felt her lack in interest in chatter about whether the stone would hit the tree this time, or how long Marine could walk over flagged sidewalks without once stepping on a crack, flood heavens! What difference d.d it make! It was inevitable that a servant’s vacant mind should he naturally more nearly of the childish level. She looked now at her watch and remenilxred an engagement at her dressmaker's lo try on a new house dress. It suddenly made her sick to think of bothering ^iih it. What whs tile use of a new house dress? Who would see it except Horace, who never saw anything, or perhaps gome one like Madame Fortier or Madame Oarnier, who would think It unbecom ing for a married woman to wear pretty, frilly things, or to thing of anything but how to shove their husbands and sons and daughters ruthlessly ahead of other women's. Heavens above! How tiresome they were about their families! They nev er saw another thing in the world! Kxcept scandalous suppositions about other people's actions. •she discovered that she did not feel at all well, not nearly well enough to go have the dress tried on. Sh*- was always tired. The enervating climate certainly did not agree with her. The iftctor paid no real attention to her case, and the sulphur hatha at Saint Nauveur had done her no good, for all they cost so much. How she had hated the dreary little village, full of sick women, perched on the narrow ledge, from which the sanitarium and the. bathing establishment looked diz ily down into the frightful gorge where the gave of Gavarnle boiled among its rocks. It had given her materials for many a nightmare, that long black cleft In the earth, so full of the wild haste of the waters that the ear was never for an instant, asleep or awake, freed from their plunging roar. It had given her night mare; and the sulphur baths had not | helped her worn feeling of prostrated weakness in the least. And now she feared there whs nothing else—her heart was certainly not quite normal. There were times as now (she put her Ungers to her wrist! when sit ting perfectly still, she felt her pulse drop almost to nothing. A muffled, listless beat, like a clock that ia running down. . . . "Iiuiining down?" the chancel phrase caught her attention. Was slic running down to middle age, without once having. . . ? She starleil up, stung by the thought, frightened, angry—a way out into life—a way to escape from the stagnant pools where fate always cast her—a way to And some vibrant stirring aim If it were only for an hisir—something to care about intensely! Other people ,jjd— women in hooks. Jeanne, passing the donr on her wav nut saw her mistress standing in the alcove, and paused to ask a question. ". . . madam* wished Mademoiselle Maris* to wear a white ribbon in her hair that afternoon? He ■au»« if so. a fresh on* was need ed.’ Iter old voice thrilled as she pronounced the child's name. Madame brought her thoughts back from their wanderings with an effort. "A white ribbon?" she said vaguely. Jeanne reminded her, "The annual competition for th* prize in music at Mademoiselle's school Tl»e voting ladies a re in dress in w hite. '' Madame remembered, "Oh, ' *s. yes. yes '* A pause, while she seemed lo begin to drift away again, and ihen, wi»h a perception that Jeanne still stood be fore her, waiting. "Why, >*s, of eotirne, buy a white ribbon If she peed* it." Jeanne took her tall, black clad body off into the hall arid them** into I he street, her mistress instantly gone from her mind. 8h«* had no time or strength that momentous day for anything beyond her passionate ah sorption in her dear gill's ordeal.

As the car turned into the road, Katherine’e composure deserted her. Her breath came storinlly, and her voice was tremulous with anger as the hurried words came stumbling out. "Madge—do yo usuppose Mrs. Tlcer would let me have a room for a day or two until I can make some ar rangements I cannot possibly endure that abominable old woman another second. How you've borne it all these years'.'' I knew that we were beyond the vision of the farmhouse Inmates, and as she began talking I drew up the car to the side of the road, turned off the switch key, and, taking Kath erlne firmly by the arm, gave her a little shake. "It's Just because I have had years of experience of her little ways that I’m going to settle you about It once for all. Would you leave our home grieved and angry if Junior went Into 1 a tantrum and slapped you?” I "Me never slap unt Tattiei Me never slafj Aunt Tattie'” Junior screamed in an agony of Insulted righteousness, relapsing into the baby talk from which he is precociously and laboriously emerging. Tty the time our united efforts had calmed him into an assurance ttiat no one remotely suspected him of so heinous a crime, the tight lines around Katherine's mouth had re laxed, and I knew that her blind but entirely justifiable anger against my cantankerous mother-in-law was suc cumbing to her usual humorous phil osophy. with which I would find it much easier to deal. Malign Tries lo Interpret. “That's exactly what his grand mother would say in adult language, half an hour from now," I commented laughing. “She hasn't the slightest idea of the maddening things she says. If she had. I would have been electrocuted long ago for inalri in law clde.” Katherine gave, a shrt, Involuntary laugh, and, encouraged. 1 rattled on: “I used to think she disliked me, but I found out long ago that she has a genuine affection for me—" “Exquisitely delicate way she has of manifesting her love!" Katherine interrupted. “I know,” I agreed promptly. “I'm not minimizing her atrocious discour tesy when she gets angry. I'm only asking you not to punish me for her temper, and to treat her outbursts exactly as if they came from a little child.” "You could spank the child," Kath erine said with a vicious little click of the teeth, and I was irresistibly reminded of Katie's comment of a few minutes liefore. "Bomablc Old Woman.” "I must tell you w imt Kali" said.” I returned, and when I had repeated ray little maid s words, I was reward ed by a merry laugh. When Kather ine laughs she can no longer harbor ( wrath, and I pressed home my ad vantage. "Promise me that you won't pay any attention to her.” I pleaded. Katherine gave my arm a loving little squeeze as she said: “If you can stand it all the time. T ought to be able to stand it part Of the time.” she said. With a lightened heart I turned to! my iwitchkey. But my hand fell nwav from it in dismay when Junior piped up in clear ringing tones, aa if he were saying a lesson: “Bomable old woman.

She crept into this, atifl did her le-st to make herself believe she wasn't afraid. Jtut she was afraid. Yes. sir, she was afraid. She was very much afraid. Every little sound that she heard made her tremble. Houmla that she had heard often enough and paid no attention to when she had mother with her now seemed strange and frightened her. You see, she was not yet old enough to know the meaning of each sound. She tried to go to sleep, but couldn't, it w a a not yet quite dark when she heard the sound of little claws on the log In which she was hiding. She crouched as far back in that old log as she could get. and her heart beat very fast with fright. She kept her eyes fixed on the opening at Some one was looking in at that opening. the end of that old log. Her worst fears were realized. Home one was looking in at that opening. The little Grouse held her breath. Never In all her life had she been quite so frightened. For perhaps half a minute thto •tranger sttod looking in. To The little Grouse he looked very big and terrible. Would lie see her? Would he rome in to get her? She wished then that she hadn’t hidden in a place from which she could not fly. She felt that she had made a great mis take in crawling into that hollow lop. Now there wag no way out. The stranger moved. Would h* go away or would he cotne in? How terrible he looked! For just a second the little Grouse shut her eyes so as not to see him. When she opened them again he was inside, and coming straight toward her. f!he w anted to cry out, but she was too frightened to. Never before had she had such a dreadful feeling. You see, never before had she been so helpless as she now was. The stranger was almost to her. and he looked bigger than ever. And then for the first time he saw her. ’’Well, well, well! Who is this?" said a squeaky little voice. The little Grouse didn't reply. 8he was so frightened she couldn't have found her voice to save her life. The stranger had stopped, and was look ing at her with a pair of bright eves, which, if she had only known it. were also soft eyes. They must have seen the dr*adful fright of th* little Grouse, for they began to tw inkle. "Don't be afraid." said the squeaky voice. "I'm Whltefoot the Wood Mouse, and I won't hurt you. What are you doing here?” Now. th* little Grouse had **en Whitefoot the Wood Mouse before, and Mother Grouse had told her what a timid, harmless little fellow h* was. The instant she knew who he was. he no longer looked big and terrible. He was a friend. At least he seemed to be friendly. tCooyrisht 1»!S > Th* next story: "The I.ittle Grouse is Comforted."
