There was nothing for Lawrence to do butaej'.iieseo ond write bis telejrram as fa't ttS possible. This, after souio judi cial editing, read ns follows: .fijLXFoutt Dhank r am hold in court on suspicion of stealing my own clothes and my name.

If this should correspond to tho account to bo telegraphed ho would bo free. Con fident of tho result ho followed r.n of ficer to tho prison, leaving tho pretty widow eittlng on a front scat tearfully listening to a whispered leeturo from that expert character reader, .Mrs. Cowers. Tho impostor, anxious to establish hiscaso beforo a reply to Mr. Pram 's tflcfrram should arrive, hurried from tho court" accompanied by fin oilieer. They WCRt to a Uroadway hotel and Inarched straight up to tho pompous clerk. "j)o you know this man?-' asked the policeman. "Know him?'' returned tho clerk, scornfully, "I should hope not!" ;'I!ut you remember,'' cried tho im postor, "that I came hero tins ciormnf and took a room, don't you? I ain Law rence " Drane, of Kansa3 City. You'll find fay n:mo on tho register." The clerk examined tho bi;? Iiook. "Thero's a Mr. Dranc here," ho said; "I remember him. IIo was a well dressed man, and you why, ho wouldn't let you in at tho door if you di.lu't cjrae with a policeman. Lesides. this Mr Dranc came from Kew Ilaveu." "Oh, LoriU I forgot that!'' exclaimed tho impostor; "you ooe, I camo down from New Haven or. an early train. Vi'hy, I was married in Ii'ewTiavoa yes tcnlay!'' The clerk turned away with a sniff of disgust. , "Come now, whatever your name is," Bald tho officer, "don't wauto any moro time. March back to court." So back ho went, reprottinff at every Etep that his sudden prosperity had bo enlivened his respect for cleanliness that he had ventured to la'ro a bath. "First 1'vo taken for year.;," ho mut tered, "and it serves me right. Got on well enough without before." Thero were a lot of lato arrivals at JefferGon market that day, and it v,-a3 uix o'clock beforo the court was ready to adjourn. IJr3. Bowers and tho fair widow were still there, the former stay in,? agalnct her will at tho earnest solic itation of the latter. She was tadly tiislu;bcdat having1 failed so sijxnlly to aid her benefactor, and was anxious to learn the result of the in.-juiry. Just In tho nick of time, as it scorned to her, a messenger boy crawled into the room and demanded with amazing1 indiffer ence: "Is do judge here?" The jadffo relieved the boy of bis dis patch and addressed a remark t3 him which" sent him out of court several thousand times faster than he cam . in. The two claimants to the nam of D.-jnc wero already at tho bar. Tho jnl-e mad tho telegram bilently, coughed, read it ogain and remarked: "This does not beem to help matters lor cither of you." ' Then ho read the dispatch aloud: f'Ti'.n Jrocn, J.fer-'in M:r.'al Court, 2CrtB Yorkl Lawrence Draao is in your charge please hold him. He is un doubtedly inoune. '!' AFFORD DBASE." "Thero In a rile conspiracy back of this!" crkd tho real Drane. "Oh, 1 -rive it up! I'm not Drane at all," shouted tho imposter.

Hewers' reply. Italy two j words, indeed, and cs Irrelevant as aro ! moi t feminine utterances in times of j emergency: "Why, liessie!" was all sho i said, or at least all that Drano heard, ! but bo was moro than rejoiced. Her I name was l.es-slet At last ho had somo I thlnrr to call her in his thoughts. It j was tho first hint on the subject In : bis joy nl this discovery ho forjrot to To i (rret t'hr.t he didn't know the other half ! of her name. lie watched her pour her j woes into Mrs. Bowers' ear, and was satisfied. j i' ucli a spectacle Is always enfert;un in. for vhi-:i a woman has emlc:Tx-s.-d I a man by making a blunder, if is r.rt tix stupid to see it, nor too proud ti) acknowledjn' it, nor uv nervous I j know 1 what iJ-.o i i atKiiit, i.lie will sometimes pitv him divinely, if ho In reasonably f,-oo'd-lowkin,-. And it sho has bej;:n tj fe.1 a lit tie tenderly toward him, she ! will often accuse herself unjustly, In j order that sho may havo tho luxury of ; telling herself how rcrry sho is that sho j has put him into a dilllculty. i That was why Bessie now (razed at Drano with such angelic sympathy do picted upon her beautiful eountcnar.ee. She said in her heart that her testimony had somehow helped to provo that he war, insane. It was a question of the heart, and in such cases u woman never allows an appeal to the higher tribunal of the mind. So Besslo acted upon her first impulse and implored Mrs. Bowers to do something;, no matter what it was. V.'iih Mrs. Bowers it was a eestion neither of the heart nor of the mind, but of the conscience. Therefore sho de cided to be merciless, but just. It was her plain duty to protect Bessie from impostors, fortune hunters and lunatics; so she frowned ct Drano in a way that gave him a chill to supplement the fever which Bessie's tender glances had put into his blood. "AY hero will they send him now?" asked Bessie, shuddering. "Probably to Yard's Island, tempo rarily." replied Mrs. Bowers. "YVill they bo pood to him there?" ' "lie will be cared for," said Mrs. Bow ers, sternly; "and fed to a certain er-tent." "Oh, my!" cried Bessie, tearfully.
