I.aftruncii turned away, fcellnj,' In his
illsusta forlorn conviction that tho fel
low uait probahly rixht. At tho other
fcido of tho court where sm oral women

It'iinX lady w hose misfortune had had mi

htnrted at once to xo over and speak to
her, and of coursoaiiollcemau preveutisl
him Ho saw that she was spoking
eayerly with an elderly lady who htosl
on the other side of tho rail
"She at least has found a friend,"
thought Drnno, and so It proved, for In a
few in in u ton sho was called before the
judjje, and tho ulderly lady stood up
llh her at tho liar. Thero was a hrlef
conversation which I.awrenco could not
hear, and then hoth women stepped
down and passed through tho (rate into
the nuilienco room. They were on tho
way out of tho court, hut tho younx lady
paused ;. moment anil looked tniulrluxly
hick. Lawrence caught her oyo and
hou r I. She returned his salutation and
hurriedly whispered to her companion.
Tl.o latter raised a pair of xh..sses, beau
tifully framed and handled in elmny, to
hereyiH and scrullnliisl Drano keenly.
Then fcho shook her head doohlodiy and
passed out,
"Oh, yen, go on," thought Lawrence,
"he's u had case, of course. ImiI: at his
chillies and his villai.ious faco!"
The young lady's faco was gravo with
dlapNilutmont, hut just as tho tloorwa
ulo.iiitf on her sho throw Iso-k ul liim a

"She's trying to toll tno to ho hope

Jove!"
I'or a full m I mi to after that bo foil
couvlm-isl that somehow nit would go

soul was transioiiL llo mmii relaMioil
into a dull, faint liidtllcroncc, paying no
attention whatever to the trial of cases
constantly golnx on lioforo him. llo did
not hear tho crier enll out tw I 'o:
"Thomas .louos," und ho did not half
comprehend what was up when an olll
ror soiled him by tho shoulder roughly,
saying:
"Hero, como alongl why don't you
aland up when you're called'.'"
In tho little delay that thus oiuuisl

trb.d to listen, llo caught Mum word I

It nil. l'resenlly, however, tho prisoner
on trial turmsl to hlni and Ijiwreiico
recognlied his recent acquaintance, the
riigiiiniitlln.
"I'e got ton days." bo mild, smiling
complacently. Tho follow shuUlod uC,

"No, I supiMMO not," miappul the

"Jonou Ih right." ropllisl Lawrence,
realising gloomily that another hope
that ho bad chetislitsl sllglitly, thai of
convincing a Judge, bad been shattered
by bis hluiuler.
"You aro charged." coutlmiisl the
