A long Umo ho battered and batter
ed In rain with his rocks; but, after an
tour or bo, ho succeeded In splintering
Mb -way through the tough pine. In
klfl befuddled, half crazed condition ho
tod thought only of bottles. What ho
fosad proved a different sort of mer
chandise. Maddened, bo tossed and scattered
tbe contents of the box on the beach.
The ocean had deceived him, laughed
at him, cheated him. Ho turned from
the shore unsteadily, walked back to
bis camp and knocked the neck from
bo of tho two remaining bottles. A.
Sew hours later, Bodden, sottish, he
lay without motion, face to the sky.
JLad as ho breathed thickly, one bleed
ing kand still holding the empty bot
tle, a bird from an overhanging branch
looked down upon him a tiny bird, lit
tle bigger than his thumb, that carried
a bright, beautiful spot of red on Its
kreast, cocked Its head questioning.

tho Thames agleam with all
Ter ripples, singing as It
flews: red Balls I Joyous Lon
don that has emerged from fogs and
"basks beneath blue sides I On such a
ar about 10 o'clock In the morning
"threo persons whose, appearance dlstln- j
sby turned Into n narrow thorough
fare not far from the Strand.
"Quito worth while going to hear
John Steele conduct for his client, I
assure you. Lord Ronsdale," observed
one, a tall, military looking man, who
.'walked with-a slight limp and carried
a cane. "Bo's a new man, but he's
inaklng his mark. When he asked to
e admitted to the English bar he sur
prised even his examiners. His sum
siing up In the Doughertie murder
case was, I heard his lordship remark,
ae of tho most masterly efforts he
ever listened to. Just tore the clrcum
ataatial evidence to pieces and freed
"als man! Besides bis profession at
the bar, ho is an unnsually gifted
criminologist, takes a strong personal
Interest In the lowest riffraff. Is writ
ing a book, I understand one of the
kind that will throw a new light on
tho subject"
"Just what Is a criminologist?" The
speaker, a girl of about eighteen, turn
ed as slio lightly asked the question to
Clanco over her shoulder toward sev
eral persons who followed them.
"One "who seeks to apply to the crim
inal tho methods of psychology, psy
chiatry and anthropology." he answer
ad, with jesting lmpresslvcness.
"When one Is only a sort of country
cousin," the girl waved a small, dain
tily gloved hand to the little group of
friends who now approached and
Joined them. "Captain Forsytbo Is
trying to persuade mo It Is a legiti
mate part of our slumming plan to
take in murder trials, uncle," she said
lightly, addressing the foremost of the
newcomers, "Just because it's a fad of
Us. Speaking of this ncqunlntanco or
'friend of yours, Mr. Steele you are
something of a criminologist, too. are
;you not. Captain Forsythe?"
"Well, every man should have a
lobby," returned that Individual, "and,
although I don't nspiro to tho long
same you call me, 1 confess to a slight
amateur Interest."
. "Slight!" sho lepeated. "Would you
bellevo it, aunt" to a portly lady
among those who had approached
"ho uever misses a murder trial? 1
believe ho likes to watch tho poor fel
' Iowa fighting for their lives, to study
their faces, their expressions when
they'ro being sentenced perhaps to one
of those horrible convict ships!"
"Don't speak of them, my dear Joce
Jyul" returned that worthy person,
with a shudder. "When I think of the
Xiord Nelson and thut awful night"
"You were three days In an open
boat before being sighted and picked
up, I believe, Lady Wray?" observed
Captain Forsythe.
"Every one behaved splendidly," In
terposed Sir Charles. "You," gazing
contemplatively at tho girl, "were but
a child then, Jocelyn."
Sho did not answer. Tho beautiful
face had abruptly changed. All laugh
ter had, gono from the clear blue eyes.
"Sho Is thinking of tho convict who
saved her," observed Sir Chorion In an
explanatory tone to Captain Forsythe.
"And tho amazing part of It Is tho
fellow looked like n brute, had the
low, Ignorant face of an ex-brulser."
"You must not speak of htm that
way!" Tho girl's bauds were clasped;
tho slender, shapely llguro was very
straight, Her beuutlful blue eyes, full
f varying lights, Hushed, then beenme
dimmed. A suspicion of mist blurred
the long, sweeping lashes. "IIo had a
big, noblo spark in his soul, and I think
him many, many times," sho re
peated, tho sweet, gay lips trembling
Measltlrely. "Bravo fellow! Brave
fellow!"
'Pity ho should have been drowned,

"tie would, 1 am sure, bavo maao n
most Interesting study In contrasts."
Here Ronsdale lifted his hat. "May
happen back this way," ho observed.
"That Is," looking at Jocelyn Wray, "If
you don't object."
"I? Not at all. Of course It would
boro you a trial! You aro so easily
bored. Is It tho club?"
"No, another engagement. Thank
you so much for permission to return
for you. Very kind. Hopo you will
find It amusing. Good mornlngl" And
Lord Ronsdale vanished down the nnr
row way.
Tho others of tho party entered the
courtroom and were shown to the seats
that Captain Forsythe had taken par
ticular pains to reserve for them.
"That's John Steele cross examlnlug
now," Captain Forsythe whispered to
the girl. And the wltncss-that's
Dandy Joe. as he's called, one of the
police spies, cheap race track man and
so on. In the box. He came to the
front In a murder trial quite celebrat
ed In Its day and one 1 always had
my own little theory about. Not that
It matters now." he added, with a sigh.
But the girl was listening to another
voice, a clear voice, a quiet voice, a
voice capable of the strongest varying
accents. She looked at tho speaker,
ne held himself with the assurance
of one certain of his ground. His
shoulders were straight and broad. He
stood like an athlete, and when be
moved It was Impossible to be uncon
scious of a certain physlml grace that
came from well trained muscles. He
rarried his head high, as If from ft
habit of thought of looking up. not
down, when he turned from tho pages
of the heavy tomes In his study. His
faco conveyed an Impression of Intel
ligence and Intensity. His eyes, dark
and deep, searched fully those they
rested on.
He had reached a point In bis cross
examination where be bad almost
thoroughly discredited this witness
for tho prosecution when, turning to
ward a table to take up a paper, his
glance, casually lifting, rested on the
distinguished party In the rear of the
room, or, rather, It rested on ono of
them. Against the dark background
tho girl's golden hair was well calcu
lated to catch the wandering gaze.
The flowers In her bat, the great bunch
of violets in her dress added insistent
alluring bits of color In the dim spot
where she sat. Erect as a Illy stem.
she looked oddly out of place In that
large, somber room. There, where the
harsh requiem of bruised and broken
lives unceasingly sounded, she seemed
like some presence typical of spring,
wafted thither by mistake. The man
continued to regard her. Suddenly be
started, and bis eyes almost eagerly
searched the lovely, proud face.
His back was turned to the Judge,
who stirred nervously, but waited a
fraction of a becond before be( spoke.
"If the cross examination is Unbill
ed" he began!
John Steele wheeled; his face chang
ed; a smile of singular charm accom
panied his ans.wcr.
