How could he tell to what ex- tent hc himself, in mistaken severity, ’ had been responsible for that unaccus- , tomed look? When Hugh did not anv swer the bishop misconstrued the si- lence. He leaned over the bed. The big cool hand touched the fevered one on the white coverlid, where the ruby ring glowed, a coal in snow. “Harry,” he said, “you have suffered -you are suffering now. But think of me only as your friend. I ask no questions. We are going to begin where we left off.” “I would like to do that,” said Hugh, “to begin again. But the chapel is gone.” “Never mind that,” said the bishop cheerfully. “You are only to get well.

They would suffice to buy his ' added to the unavoidable fatigue of his l patient's departure. This fatigue was near to spelling de- feat, after all, for the exertion brought again the dreadful stabbing pain, and this time it carried Hugh into a re- gion where feeling ceased, conscious- ness passed and from which he strug- gled back finally to find the surgeon bending anxiously over him. “I don’t like that sinking spell,” the latter confided to his assistant an hour later as they stood looking through the window after the receding carriage. “It was too pronounced. Yet he has complained of no/pain. He will be in good hands at any rate." He tapped the glass muslngly with his forefinger. “It's curious,” he said after a pause. “I always liked Sanderson-in the pul- pit. Somehow he doesn’t appeal to me at close range.” The special car which the bishop had ready had been made a pleasant inte- rior. Fern boxes were in the corners, a caged canary swung from a bracket, and a softly cushioned couch had been prepared for the sick man. A moment before the start, as it was being cou- pled to the rear of the resting train, while the bishop chatted with the con- ductor, a flustered messenger boy band- ed him a telegram. It read: ' I arrive Anniston tomorrow 5. Confi- dential. Must see you. Urgent.

He saw "Mrs. Halloran whisper eagerly with the lawyer, who turned away. with a- :puazled look. In his bitterness the thought came to him that the testi- finon; y had slapped her conviction of his l i ney McGinn, Mrs. Halloran, who came down- weepingâ€"they were made to see as in a cyciorama the struggle for re- habilitation against hatred and suspl~ cion, the courage that-had dared for a child’s life, the honesty of purpose that showed in self surrender. The prisoner, he said, had recovered his memory before the accusation and as- serted his absolute innocence. Those ; who believed him guilty of the murder of Dr. Moreau must believe him also a vulgar liar and poseur. He left the inference clear: If the prisoner had fired that cowardly shot he knew it ' now; if he lied now he had lied all along, and the later life he had lived at Smoky Mountain, eloquent of fair dealing, straightforwardness of purâ€" pose, kindiiness and courage, had been but hypocrisy, the bootless artifice of a shallow bufioon. The session was prolonged past the noon hour, and when Felder rested his case it seemed that all that was possi- ble had been said. He had done hm ut- most. He had drawn from the. people of Smoky Mountain a dramatic story and had filled in its outlines with color, force and feeling. And yet as.- he clos- ed the lawyer felt a sick sense of fail- ure. Court adjourned for an hour. and in the interim Felder remained in a little room in the building. whither Dr. Brent was to send him sandwiches and r‘ â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"1â€"-â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"-_..~ I l l l --~ matter from. the food; Purifyme Blood £5300” wlll. rut: Massage, cosmetics: and the like sometimes improve' agood complex-ion , andoccasionally mitigate the badnessv of a: bad one.
