used to tell of it case in which an innocent
life was sacrificed for a guilty person. A
boy On a farm, for seine:misdemeanor, WAS
sentenced by his father, a stern man, with
an eye to saving a half prig() ticket, to. be
deprived of his annual circas privilege, and,
in addition, he was to hoe 80. many rows of
corn while the rest of .the family took 9n
the lady's pad act, the bare back riding Of:
Jack Robinson, the club that killed Captain
Cook and other attractions of the great
moral show. The boy watched the waggon
drive away, with tears in'his eyes, and
then he went At his corn rows with a
determination R.?' roake* short' crop, if ,it
could be worked' without detection.' But
he grew hungry after awhile and went into

he left. 4e then, caught the family .eat,
thrust her. nose and feet into the remains
of the pie, and dropped her on the clean,
white Sanded 'floor of the pantry that .she
might track around on it. Then he went
back to his cern rows. Evening brought
the family hodie. The boy saw there climb
