LUWWWLUWLUWUWWUJWWUWWWWU Reaching the . it to the older boy. Rather astonished, the child backed away, for he knew that he was not allowed to go near this man unless in the presence of an older person. He had heard his father address this man on the street, but all that the child could obtain in regard to the manis identity was that he did not like ttFatherW and that he lived on the hill at whose foot stood the small village. However, he had seen men bring wagons filled with such bottles to his father, and had seen him empty them into the stream which flowed past his home. So he held out his hand, and started to take the bottle to his father. Hold on thar! cried Scott, Hwhere ye goinITI HIlm takinI it to Father,-H explained the child. ttYer pap give it to me. He wants you should taste it. IVs not. what, ye think it is. Yer ma made it and wanted to know, does you like it? Hesitating' a little, the boy drank, frowned, smiled, and drank more. Let me taste it, Joe; I want some, too,,, begged the little one. Holding it steady, Joe let his brother drink. Then he drank some more himself. ttUm, tha'tIs good. I never had that before. HI guess I better take it back now. Yer seems to like it. . the man took the bottle, a rather frightened look on his face, for he hap- pened to remember something. Without another word he vaulted the back fence and disappeared, just as the mother called the children. ttGod! he whispered, HI brought the wrong one. Ilm sure glad I didnt drink none. ttMother, why did that man t reached the house; ' ' UI dontt know What his name is. It 's that maneoh, mother, everything's turning fround! And now its all black!

But the fathers suspicions were affirmed at the description of the poisoner. Early the next morning, with the sheriff and a posse, he made a thorough search of Seottts cabin, but found only two bottles, one empty, and the other containing about a. gill of brown liquid. These Phillips took home, tested with Dr. Rowlandts aid, and found that the liquid contained The sheriff and his men searched the forest trails about the cabin and in two hours found a dilapidated hat. Phillips arrived soon after, and on going: deeper into the woods, he heard a meaning and groaning. The source of these sounds was the form of a man, lying at the foot of a pine tree, twitching constantly. There was a great lump on the head, evidently caused by running blindly against the tree. He was found to be Scott, and the sheriff immediately handcuffed him. He was carried to the jail, Where he died tWo days later, suffering horribly, from the same poison he had given the Phillips children. t ,In a month little Jimmy was able to sit up; in two months he walked around his room, and his thin little body, and tired mind grew well and strong again.
