aside, stood firmly on the trap with a last
request that his eyes be not covered.

“Have you anything to say?” demanded
the sheriff.

Through greying lips came the whispered
words: “You're hanging an innocent man.”

Reforming, the grim procession returned
towards the cells. Pale but composed, Flor-
ence Lassandrea heard them coming and
leapt to her feet. The reprieve at last—and
only just in time. Then her hand clutched
at her throat as she saw the hangman. With

a stifled groan she turned to face her fate.
“I'm ready,” she told him calmly.

As she neared the double scaffold her
confidence failed her. “I didn’t do it,” she
moaned. “It was Pic—he did it. He lied
and lied and lied....”

“Have you anything to say?” Again the
sheriff repeated the ominous question as she
stood upon the trap.

From her lips came the agonized refrain:
“T didn’t do it... . Pic lied and lied and
tial so oa

The thud of the trap cut short her words.
For a second time that morning the black
flag fluttered from the Penitentiary flag-
pole. The rule of the bootleg king and the
queen of the Crows’ Nest Pass was over!

JUDGE: You cannot withdraw your plea
of “guilty” after the hearing of your case.

Accused: But my counsel’s final speech
has convinced me that I am innocent.

SOMETHING BETTER TO SEE
THE doctor had just come out of the room
and said to little Bill, “An angel has brought
you a beautiful baby sister. Would you like
to see her?” “No,” replied Bill, “but I'd

Camouflage for B. C. Police
Highway Patrol Cars

THE white highway patrol vans of the
B.C. Police have always been readily dis-
tinguished on our highways, but if an emerg-
ency ever demands it, they can assume war
time camouflage in a matter of minutes. This
fact was ascertained after experiments re-
cently conducted at Victoria.

The khaki camouflage preparation is in-
expensive, quickly applied and dries almost
instantly. It can be just as quickly washed
off with a hose and sponge, and the original
finish is undamaged.

WOULD READ WELL

An old fellow on his death-bed, in making
his will, murmured to his lawyer, “And to
each of my employees who have been wita
me twenty years or more I bequeath
$1,000.00.

“Holy smoke! What generosity!” the
lawyer exclaimed.

“No, not at all,” said the dying man.
“You see, none of them have been with me
a year—but it will look good in the news-
papers, won't it?”
