'V.'o will let you do that, Jones," said

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:

Tlicn. his own statement of his ad
ventures was taken down. 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:

doubtedly inoune.

"Thero In a rile conspiracy back of

"Oh, 1 -rive it up! I'm not Drane at
all," shouted tho imposter.
Thuoipity-ba7! srid the judge's gavel,
Bnerily, and ibo judge himself added:
"The court belioves you are lioth de

ions evidently felt nthlPst as batUy fta
ho did. lie heard her tell Mr. Howers
! that tho judicial blacksmith on tho
' bench was "simply dreadful, "
I Hut tuts was not tho tost of It; he
; heard Mm. 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 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.
