Owing to tho temporary mental do-

field precinct, one of tho Jurors sitting
on the Wallace paternity case, It was
necesenjry for Judge westover, tho
presiding Judge, to deem and declare
the niis-trlnl of the case.
The enso was one in which Gladys
Rldenour sought to prove Guy Fear
the father of her year-old child and
to compel him to support It. The ev
idence had been submitted, the argu
ments made and the Jury sent to the
room early In the evening. About
10:30 after several ballots as to the
guilt or Innocence of (ho accused had
boon taken, Fabllnjcer began to act
"strangely and talk Incoherently, and
finally became so loud in his demon
strations that Dr. Redllehl was called
and pronounced Fablinger to be iu a
serious common, hut he thought tli.'
trouble to be only temporary. The af-
llicted man was taken to his room at
one of the hotels, and during the night
quieted down. He will bo excused from
Jury service and will return home.
Fnbllngor was one of tho jurors in

the Fear case, and it is presumed that

By the Merciless
Waves
Dy DWIGHT NORWOOD
During the winter of 1011, being In
England nnd desiring to see something
oi' the pan-European wnr, I enwd
tho channel to Flanders. But when
I got there I was not permitted to go
to the scene of conlllct. Not caring to
return Immediately 1 went to n hotel
on the seashore, Intending to spend sev
oral days there.
The weather was cold, and the chan
nel, st ret hlng out indefinitely toward
tho northwest, was a gloomy sight to
behold. One morning I heard a boom
ing out at sen. but had no knowledge
of what it portended. During the day
there was always booming on the land
nortli ami south of me, and sometimes
It eniuf faintly from the east. These
sounds continually reminded me that 1
wats surrounded by war and Its conse
quent distress.
But It was tho chnnuel that most nf
fee ted tin'. I knew that out there
many u men hunt crew was sailing In
danger of being sent to the bottom of
the cold, black waters. Many a sub
marine crew was dreading lest their
vessel become entangled in the enor
mous wire nets laid by the British
trawleiN to trap them.
One evening when there was a misty
moonlight I was tempted to go out and
walk on the beach. I was warmly
clothed aud enjoyed the icy air that
blew against my cheeks. So enjoyable
was my jaunt to me that I walked for
an hour toward the nortli, then was
about to turn and retrace my steps
when I saw something denser thnn tho
surrounding atmosphere a short dis
tance ahead of mo.
I stood watching It. A thin cloud
that liad covered the moon passed from
It face, giving u slight Increase of light
and revealed what seemed to mo to be
a knot of men huddled together. I
had once seen a ship at sea about to
founder, and these shadowy beings re
minded me of Its crew standing togeth
er about a mast, doubtless gaining some
slight comfort from one another while
waiting for the fatal plunge.
Curiosity led mo to approach what 1
saw, and I walked forward. But
somehow I got no nearer to them,
(hough they gradually became less In
distinct, for by keeping my eyes fixed
upon them they became Individuals,
though confused with one another.
Their relative position was that of men
discilsslng some momentous question.
Nevertheless I heard no sound, nor
coulil I discern any one of them nd
dresiliig the rent.
Then it seemed to me that they wero
all looking toward me, but this was
rather their position with reference to
one another, for I had no cvldeneo that
(hey were facing me. Immediately
after tills they began to move away
from me. I followed, and slnco I did
not gain on (hem I hastened my steps.
But the faster 1 walked the quicker
they receded. Sometimes it seemed
that they were tramping, sometimes
that t hoy were moving from mo with
out taking steps.
"Wlien at Inst I saw them, or what
they appeared to be, leave the beach
and move out on tho surfaco of the
water I began to suspect that some
thing wns wrong with me. I swung
my arms, ri'uched myself, rubbed my
eyes. The group remained iu my vi
sion till they had gone n few hundred
yards from the shore, then stopped nnd
slowly settled down, It seemed. Into
the water either this or they faded
before mo; I could not tell which.
This was the end of my dtcain, hal
lucination or whatever It might be. I
waited for some time, peering out to
where, tho men had disappeared, Avon
dcring If they would return, but they
did not. nnd I considered it high tlmo
thnt I went back to my hotel. Beforo
doing so I noted the locality that I
might know lt again. There was a lit
tle stream of running fresh wntcr that
llowcd from a lake or swamp a short
distance from the beach.
Tho next morning after an early
breakfast I started to go over my walk
of tho night before. Soon nftcr leav
ing the hotel I found myself iu nu un
frequented region. Thero was not a
house in sight. I walked to tho runnel
I had seen and know that I was whore
my vision bad disappeared. Turning
sou ward, I scanned tho waters. It
was ebb tide. The waves were high
under u west wind. Presently, after a
wip'o had rolled over a certain point,
I snw in tho hollow lt had left some
thhig that looked llko tho top of n
small steamer's smokestack. Another
wave passed over it, and when It had
moved on I saw tho article again.
I hnd no glass, and tho Interval be
tween, the waves was too brief to en
able mo to get u good view of lt So
far as I could judge, I saw the top of
a smokestack of a sunken vessel.
I concluded to return to tho hotel and
report whut I had seen. I mndo no
mention of my vision. After a good
deal of talk and many assurances that
I had seen evidence of a wreck a tug
was sent to examine what I hnd seen.
I wus aboard and directed tho captain
to tho point sought As wo approach
ed it he swept tho water with n pair
of binoculars and presently exclaimed:
"It's the periscope of a submarine."
And so It was. It was subsequently
raised ujul proved to bo n German tor
pedo boat. In It were twelve Germans,
nil dead.
This Is the only mention I have ever
mado of my vision or whatever lt was,
and to this statement my true liaino Is
not appended. 1 do not care to bu con
sldered either n liar orn fool or to hnvo
broken down nerves.
JA.MKS SENTENCED TO TEN
YEA ItS IX PEXITENTIAIIY.
Charles James, convicted of rape on
his thirteen year old grand daughter,
Ethel Jones, was sentenced by Judge
Wostover Saturday morning to ton
years at hard labor In tho peniten
tiary. When called beforo tho Judge
and naked why sentence should not bo
pronounced, James snld that he had
not been properly defended, nnd that
if his attorney Jmd askod him certain
quostlons evldanco would hnvo boon
brought out that would have resulted
in his acquittal. Judge Westover re
piled that James had been ably defend
ed, nnd that ho had absolutely no
grounls to complain of unfair treat
ment from his attorney or the court.
As James Is about sixty years of
age, his sentence ot ton years practic
ally means prison life for him during
the rHimilndor of his life.
