It is Baswerable, complete, depressing. As Uirent'o listened to his jailor's retain? footsteps his resentment turned HfegUat. "That just shows," ho thought, "how Kited I am for theso clothes. If I had tebrought up to wear them I should lite known how to oxpress myself litquatoly. Somo really shocking lufuagc might have had an effect on ill fellow."

Lawrence turned away, feeling in his disgust a forlorn conviction that the fellow was probably right. At tho other side of tho court where several women prisoners were grouped he saw tho young lady whoso .nisfortune had had so much to do with bringing him there. Uo started at oneo to go over and speak to hor, and of course a policeman prevented him. lie saw that she was speaking oagerly with an elderly lady who stood on tho other side of tho rail. "Sho at least has found a friend," thought Drane, and so it proved, for in a few minutes she was called before tho Judge, and tho eldorly lady stood up

with her at the bar. Thero was a brief conversation which Lawrence could not hear, and then both women stepped down and passed through tho gate into (ho audience room. They were on the way out of tho court, but the young lady paused amomentand looked inquiringly hack. Lawrence caught her eyo and bowed. Sho returned his salutation and hurriedly whispered to her companion. Tho latter raised a pair of glasses, beautifully framed and handled in ebony, to her eyes and scrutinized Drano keenly. Then sho shook her head decidedly and passed out. "Oh, yes, go on," thought Lawrence, "lie's a bad case, of course. Look at his clothes and his villainous face!''
Tho young lady's face was grave with disappointment, but just as tho door was closing on her she threw back at him a I Binilo which mado tho unhappy prisoner's heart bound.
She's trying to tell me to bo hopeful," ho thought, "and so I will, by Jove!"
For a full minute after that ho felt convinced that somehow all would go well with him but this uplifting of his soul was transient Ho soon relapsed into a dull, faint indifference, paying no attention whatever to the trial of cases constantly going on before him. lie did not hear tho crier call out twbc: "Thomas Jones,"' and ho did not half comprehend what was up when an oilicer seized hini by tho shoulder roughly, saying: '•Hero, come along! why don't you Btaiul up when you're called?"
In tho little delay that thus ensued 1 another caso was crowded beforo tho 1 judge. Lawronco, standing at tho bar, I ried to listen, lie caught somo words about "common vagabond," and "stale beer gang." but he could not understand it all. presently, however, tho prisoner trial turned to him and Lawronco recognized his recent acquaintance, tho ragamuffin. "I'vo got ten days," he said, smiling oomplacently. Tho fellow shuffled off, and Lawrence looked up just in timo to catch this judge's oyoas tho formal question was put: "What is your name?" "Lawrence Drane," ho responded quickly, and then ho thought—too late.
Tho judgo scowled at a document beforo him and glanced inquiringly at tho policemaji. "That's my prisoner," said tho latter, "ho gavo adifferent name at tho station houso." .1.. "What do you mean," demanded tho judge, "by giving one name at tho station and another one hero?" "I 1 didn't want to be known, your honor," stammered Lawjenco. "No, I suppose not," snapped tho judge "well, what is it, Jones, or tho other name?" "Jones is right," replied Lawronco, realizing gloomily that another hope that he had cherished slightly, that of convincing a judgo, had been shattered by his blunders. "You aro charged," continued the judgo, "with assault and attempt to rob.
What do you say to it?" Of course Lawronco responded not jruiltv," and then the judge called for complainant. Tho well-droBsed man was not present. Phoro-
tho
upon his honor reprimanded the policeman for bringing up a caso without a witness and added: "In tho absonco of a complainant, I should dischargo this man at onco if ho had not tried to assumo a falso narao. That attompt makes him a suspicious character. Hold him until throo clock, and seo that your witness is hero at that
Tho hours draggod along, tho judgo went to lunch, anotlior session was boun, and at last "Thomas Jonos waa Lain called to tho bar. Tbo oomplainant had not turned up, and tho judgo said, irritably. "You arc dischargedjJonos. but warn
you not to uo any thing of this kind again." "ltut I haven't dono any thing wrong, your honor," protested Lawrence. "You'll got into sorious troublo right hero if you're not careful," cried the judge. "Here, you. get out! Understand?" Bald a court officer, pushing Lawrence toward tho gate. Lawrence did under-

akin to relief, he passed through tho audience room a lroo man. "When once I getwelloutof all this," he thought, "I'll get the Legislature to provide a fund for supplying discharged prisoners with a square meal. I'd almost give my liberty for a sirloin steak with lyonnaise potatoes."
What to do to get this desirable refreshment was a problem. lie looked up and down the avenue a moment and then returned to the eourt-room. lie inquired of an officer near the door about tho elderly lady who had carried off his park acquaintance. "I will at least let the young widow know that 1 am 110 convict," bethought, and he did not disguise from himself a hope that she would help him somehow In his straits.
Tho officer told him that tho lady came to court every day, exercising her charitable disposition in assisting innocent prisoners who were unable to secure legal advice. "ltut sho won't do any thing for you," added the officer "sho draws tho lino at men."
Nevertheless Lawrence obtained her name and address, and sot off to call upon Mrs. Mowers far up on Madison avenue. lie amusod himself on tho way by trying to estimate how long his vital forces would endure miles of walking every day without any renewal of the tissues, and by speculating as to what stage of starvation would be the most painful. Now and again he became dizzy and almost lost consciousness, which led him to think that perhaps I10 had compassed tho worst part of starvation already.
Mrs. Bowers was at homo and she received Drano in a tiny room which she evidently used as an office for hor charitable work. "Madame," began Drano, "I am in circumstances so unusual for me, I am so faint from lack of food that I And it difficult to say what I wish to. I was in court this morni»g when you socured tho release of a young lady—" "Oh, yes," Interrupted Mrs. Iiowors. "You aro tho man who went to her aid in tho park. H'm. That was a very worthy thing to do," and sho eyed him critically through her glasses. Lawronco felt so oppressed by this fresh humiliation that ho hung his head. Mrs.
Bowurs continued: "I should not have expected it of you. I have mado a long Btudy of human nature, my man, and I warn you that you can not impose on me. So they discharged you. H'm. If you'ro willing to work I will send you a card to a wood yard—" "Madam." cried Lawrence, "I novor have had to work in my life! I don't ask for work I did not come bore to ask any assistance of you. I want to BOO tho young lady and tell her my storv." "Quito impossiblo," Interrupted Mrs. Bowers, placidly. "Sho is young and inexperienced, and I certainly shall guard her against any vulgar imposition. You mako a mistake in refusing work. 1 can read you closely enough to see that you will recognlzo your error as soon as you aro convinced that
I lam not to bo imposed on. Therefore 1 shall give you this ticket. It will secure you lodging and breakfast it you will saw wood. And in consideration for your defons* of tho young lady you refer to. 1 will 1 pay your car faro to tho wood-yard. I seldom do this, never when I am convinced of a man's character as I am of yours, but you aro doubtless faint and weary. Therefore, hero is tho card, and hero is a dime to pay your way on the borso cars." "Madame," said Drane, huskily, "you have dono mo injustico and given mo pain that is worse than all tho ills that bavo como on mo sinco I arrived in
New York. 1 declino your charity, and you may rest assured that no extremity of misery will ever mako mo regret my course."
With that he bowed haughtily and stalked from tho houso, whilo Mrs. Bowers looked shocked and mado an entry in her book of charitablo work as to tho ovil prido that keeps some men
from^cknowledglng the superiority
jroodnoss of others. [TO HE CONTlNl'En.]

There Is more catarrh In this part of tho country than all othor diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be Incurable. For a number of years doctors pronounced It local dlseaso, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, munuiucmrod by F. J.
