It was llttlu that hi" knew about Now York except us to Iw pavements and lu dlstancos.and ImiUi these ho was prepared to L'omlt'inii ax emphatically ait would nny reformer. Il( hnd not Btipjtonil that hit second arrest took place In tht samo judicial district In ulilrh his Unit came to pass, lty reason of hUrohnhlll tatlon his nerves had maintained a fair m)Io during the snort Journey to the court, hut when In- Maw the ornate tow it of Jolfcraon market ahead of hlin mid then realized that he waft hound to ap pear hoforo the same Justice who had lectured him hut n day or two provlons ly, they fell to quivering ouitnoiiHly. Nevertheless ho kept up appearances and entered tlio court room with an air of dlgnillcd solf-possusslon. Tho hulk of tho day's business had hcon cleared :uvay, so ho and his com panion In distress woro summoned at onco to tho bar. "What Is this case?" demanded tho udgo. "This man," responded tho police man, jerking his thumb towards the raided tramp, "accuses this gentleman of stealing his clothes." Tho judge glanced In surprise from one to the other of the parties, and ho looked sharply at Lawrence as If tho face reminded him of somebody. Then he ordered the eomplnlnant to stop up and asked him his name. "Lawrence Diane," wits tho cool reply. Again the judge seemed to ho trying to nvall something out of the dim ro cosou of his memory, but tho clfort failed, and he composed himself to lis ten to the complainant's story. Tho faUo Drone told exactly what hud hap - ponod at tho bath-house, not dov luting In tho slightest particular from the truth, except as his story Implied his claim to ownership In tho clothes which the real Druuo had on. "Did you ever son tho prisoner be fore'.'" asked tho judge. "I think I saw hlui not moro than three days ago," ropMisl tho linHstor; "It was late In the afternoon ami he had a filiate on. 1 remember him because of these rap which ho woro at tho time." Tho Judge turned to Mr. Drano, who had been listening Intently, and began tho examination In tho usual way, by nuking his name. Lawrence was vehe mently inoed to denouueo his accuser, but he rcculltsl his determination to control his tongue luthlsuulftodo: there fore ho responded simply; "Lawrence Drane." J A big scowl tnui;led the judge's eye brows and puckonsltip his lips. Judicial memory was again In process of custlga t inn. "I'h It time tho mental prodding turned up a elow. "Haven't you beon hero boforo!" he demanded kternly. Mr. Drone's conscience wriggled and groaned under the temptation of men dacity. He was Immorally certain that a good 1'e would ho mure eilluaclous In tho emergency than a guardian angol; but his gentlemanly Instincts revolted nl lying, especially when ho know h wai In tho right. Mureovor tho angel was present tho court-room, though I.avvronc.o didn't know It and nho had not as yet tliscov eroil him. Perhaps her inlluoneo had something to do with In ducing him to falter un ulllrinatlvo to tho Judge's ijucstioti. Tho roply stimu lated the Judge' memory wonderfully. "You tried to pass yourself under two names then, didn't you'.'" ho continue!. "May I i .xpluln. your honor--" "Did you or didn't you? Speak up!" "I did, your honor, but then' were cir cumstances then that JwUlllod too. I was In trouble and hardly know what I was alsiut." "What possible clroutustancoa could have justltlod you In ljlng about your naino'.'' It instantly ocourred to Lnwronco that here was an opportunity to make a full explanation of his situation, but ho lnuoh trouble had como to him from tiuoh nttotnpU that ho renewed his de termination to say absolutely nmug. Ho ho rospondod: "I diflliio to say " This surprised and angered tho judgn anil he ordered tho ollluer to search I jure nee. They took from him nil his papers, his money and hi watch. They considerately lolt him his handkerchief. l'pot by tho indignity of this pwtisl lug, he exclaimed: "1 will bay and maintain that I uu I.awronoe Dmue! I llu In Kausu i t'lly ami am In New Yotk Imply on my way to lloston, where I pmisxio to negotiate capital for a railroad." "Very well," wild tho judge, dryly and turning to tho lmiostor: "What havo you to say to this'.'" t "Why!" was the reply, "that I am I..i i.ie Diane and that this felle-w I' l. lite;: toy story. Thoto papcra rnd h'tiers which oii have will probably make the matter clear. Doiihlloss he glanord st ttiem at tho lmtli r.nd no ff.il hto liit."

"Uhiuh of these men?" a.knd the judge, ' came to the Kith In goodulotht-H, ami w hlch one In rngiV" "I remember," nald tho witness, hes itating, "that 1 took a fellow In those nigs t.i a room, and I think It was that one," iNiinting to Uiwreuce.

There Is an Individuality in legs, hut few i.ii'n rooognlw.1 It, not even at temlantfl at baths who hae unrestricted opiHirtiiuttios for oloratlon. The tos llmouy of thiwo witnesses made It pret ty clear that Lawrence had left tho bath with 1m tier clothes than he wore when he entered, hut they could do nothing to clear up tho question of Identity. Then Lawrenco requested tho privi lege of examining the plnlntllf.

If I was better dressed toy story would sound inoro likely." Lawrence smiled grimly at thl.i, for he knew loo well how trno It wiu. Thing i had changed. The clothes were on another manUi tiack and he In turn was ietluiliod by them. "I'll send an olllcer with you to tho hotel," said tho Judgo. Just then tho angel appeared. It was tho young widow whom Lawrence ha.l met in the jinrk up town. She wa i in court with Mrs. I lowers, agisting that charitable lady In her work and Ml the same time keeping an eye o- n for htr thl" lug inald, who might U expected to turn up at any time among tho prls- 7-t i,."c r. -. - - III" HXUti WAS JO.Mirt. oners. During tho oxamlnatlou of Law rence and tho lniHitor she had Is en busy with Mrs. 1 loners In another part of the room, and so had not heard a word of tho case. It takes an acute ear todetivt any thing that goes on In a Now York court, ovon whon one stands bosldo tho judge himself. Tho young lady had chanced to see Mr. Drane's lace, and In spite of the great improve ment directed on It by the barls'r and the radical change In his garb, she reo oguliisl him. It was not Immediate, and she was not altogether sure. She whispered oxollodly to Mrs, Honors: ".Seel . Is not that tho gentleman who usslsttsl mo tho other morning?" Mrs. ItowoRt had rc-courao to liur glasses. "I should think so," sho replied, "from his clothes. I shouldn't bo likely to forgot them." "No, no; I mean tho othor one I must go up and see." Mrs. lloworsdlsapprovodof this hnart lly, hut tho young widow took her own way, and presently Mr. Dram) felt a light hand laid on his arm. It was at tho lut where tho Importer had asked to he allowml to go to his hotel. Law ronco turned, and with a Joyfully leap ing heart saw tho oomjiaitloii of his ad venture In tho park, llo was never tv glad to see anybody boforo, and forget tlntr hil situation ho orlod: "I am perfectly delighted to soo you again." Kho w m aliout to reply when tho jutlgo lntcrpod. "You must not speak to tho prlwinor. Iiiodniu, but you may oomo up hero and ttdl mo what you know about this mini.

Tho young lady, blushing rosily and smiling at the thought of being able to give some assistance to her UoiefaeUir, ht pix-d before tho judge and wasjworll t r WW Hno gt y her name, but In spile of all attonliou Lawrnnco uiisMtt It In thcoon fasi.m alloiidanl upon tho bringing In uf ik vi ol new rr li.

Tli en' was nothing for Itwreucn to do hut noqil Iosco and urlto his telegram as fast i pisslhlo.

Con fident of the result he followed an of floi r to the prison, loading the pretty Idow sil ling on a front uoat tearfully listening to a whispered Iciiuro from that exjKirt uharaeter roadi'r, Mrti liiwers. The lmioator, nnxIiSus to establish hi i ease before u rflply to Mr Drane's trlotfi-um should arrive, hurried from the i-oiirt accompanied by an olllcer They wrnt to a llioadway hotel and marched straight up to the hiuikiiis r.lerk. "Do you know this man?" asked the Mii-emau. "Knew him?" returnisl the clerk, scornfully. "1 should Iiomi notl" "Hut you remember," crlisl the Im postor, "that I eatue hero this morning and tool, a room, don't you'' I ai.i I.an reece Drane, of Kansas City.

"Oh, Iird! 1 forgot that!" exclaimed the Impostor: "you see, I came down from No iv Haven on an onrly train Why. I wan married In Now Haoii yitri onlay!" The clerk turned away with a mil If of disgust. "Come now, whatever your name Is," r.id the olllcer, "don't waste any more time. March back to court." So bark ho went, regretting at every ten that his sudden prosperity had so nlHenod his roapoct for clcanllticsri that he had ventured to take a hath. "First I've taken for years." ho mut tered, "and It servos me right. (Jot on well enough without before." Thero were a lot of Into arrivals at JelferMiu market that day. and It was six o'clock before the court was ready to adjourn. Mrs. Hewers and the fair willow were still thero, tho former stay Ing against her will at tin', earnest solic itation of tho lattor.

Such a spcotaclo W always entertain ing, for when a woman has emlmrra-tstsl a man by making a blunder, If she Is not too stupid to see It, nor too proud to acknowledge It, nor too nervous to know what she Is nlsiut, she will omottino pity hlni dlxlnoly. If ho Is ronsomtbly giKsl-lHikiug. And If she tins begun to feel a little tenderly toward hlni, nho will often ncfluso herself unjustly, In order that she may hao tho luxury of telling hernelf how sorry she Is that she lu'i put him Into n dllllcutty. That was why llessle now gaiel at Drsnewlth such angelic symiMthy de pleted upon her beautiful countenance. She said In bur heart that her testimony had somehow hcl'd to proxu that ho niui Insane.

So llessle acted uton her first linpuUo and Implored Mrs. Howcm to do something, no matter w hat It was.

He hud cuHie there 111 charge of n Oourl olltftor. nnd had not Ixx-n allowed to exchange n word with llessle. whom Mrs Donors had dragged away as oo:i as the quustieliof commitment had been set 1 1 iil Ho felt deserted and friend less, and despite tho fuel that 11 was u verywarmevenlng.be shivered as lie Mood lu the hall wailing for Jenkins, of whom the olllcer bad gone In search. A large number of entertaining and cheerful rellivtlons crowdeil upon Drane in ho stood in tho dimly-lighted ball. Ilonondcrod, for Jtistauoe, vyhotlu r a .trulght-Juskut would bo regarded aian esM-ntlal of absolutely cornvt evening dress In Mr. Jenkins' retreat. He also had ncurloslly lo know how often, on an average, tho violent lunatics in the establishment overisiwensl their keep ers and slaughierod tho less demenusl Inmates. Hut, deepest and most lmor tout of all, was the question of supper, for t)ia inoul whlli he hadpproprlaUsl in tho hath had eeased to glvo hlni sat isfactory support, and It might Ihu long tlwu boforo ho had a chanoi to stoal mi othur.

A man who had Is-en Judicially dcoldiil lo bo craty should have a keeper. Then he percelvtsl In the shadow of the door a largo, ungainly man who seemed to ! on wateh. He sUhI lu a kind uf niche, and had thus escaiHsl Dmno's oljserva Hon when ho entered. This man'.n yt so glared Hhju hlni out of tho darkness that Drane's nerves liogan to dance in n manner that threatened to 111 hlni very quickly for permanent occupancy of the retreat, llo felt that ho must ccaM from that man's observation or relieve the oppressive silence by a howl. He compromised the matter by step plug Into tho parlor. At this, lsith the ancient and unfortunate ladles assumed au air of modest reserve which was quite frightful to see. Presently nno of them drew out hor haudkorehlof nndb gau to weep softly, but with evident de termination to do the subject full jus tice before she got through. "Madame," said Drane, gently, "if my presence alfcots you to tears, I will withdraw." "Do not do so on my account," she said, "it Is not your fault that you have revived n sorrow that has long boon burled In my breast." Drone regretted having been the cause of such u joyless resurrection, and he ventured to murmur words to that elfeet. "It dims: not matter," she said. "My oouduet must seem strange to you. I can hardly explain ll without telling you the story of my life. There is n ro mance In It," and she brightened ap preciably. "You shall hear the melan choly narrative."
