To his left was the ;jury hox. Three o'clock Friday afternoon. His trial in the murder of Ramon Worth was nearing conclusion. No word yet uttered in his defense. The clerk rose, called the next witness for the prosecution. And at the name a shock went tearing through his heart —a shock, a distorted picture, a vision of doom. “Avery Middleton, witness for the prosecution. Ts Mr. Middleton present? Please take the stand.' 1 Middleton, a spare, natty young fellow with knowing blue eyes and a small, smiling mouth, came from the audience. He passed behind the rail, walking Just In front of Douglas. He paused and bowed. And Douglas, the dark, hazel eyes puzzled and indignant, returned his salute. He said audibly, with a note of challenge: “Hello, Avery!” He felt winded, as though some one had given him a sharp, unguarded blow. He sat upright, his hands gripping the seat of his chair. Middleton standing at a window smoking a cigaret—bowing to him —a window across the court and looking into Ramon's office. He connected this immediately with Meager’s third-degree and the prosecution's boast of proof positive and complete that murder bad been done. He wondered with inflamed and charging pulse what Middleton might say.... ' • • Middleton was sworn. “You're acquainted with the defendant?’’ "Yes." “How well do you know him?" "Very well. I was in his class during four years at college.” “Have you seen him since graduation?" “Yes—perhaps several times a month.” “You wouldn’t be likely to mistake him for someone else?" “Absolutely not.” “Well, then, Mr. Middleton, have you an office in the building?" “I have." “What floor?” “The fourth.” "This office has a window which looks directly across and down into the office of the deceased Ramon Worth?” “That's correst.” “Do you recall being in your offie* at any time Monday night. Feb. 9?” “Yes —T wan there for a short while between 10:50 and 11." “Please state how vou're certain the date was Feb. 9, and the time 10:50 to 11.” “My wife and I were at my mother’s for dinner —a birthday dinner. Feb. 9 is my mother's birthday. We left my mother’s house at 10:30 and drove directly to my office, where I stopped to get a box of fruit. As I went up in the elevator I looked at my watch. It was just 10:50. I ?aid to my wife: ‘We can’t make the 11 o'clock Golden Gate ferry now.’ "As soon as I stepped into my office I noticed the shades up and went over to draw them down. I ■ hanced to look across the court, where a light streamed from the of lice of Ramon Worth. I saw a man standing in the center of this office—a peculiar, horrified look on his face. He drooped immediately to his knees and appeared to be leaning over someone. * was puzzled, and watched. He had ills arms about some object. He lifted it. Then I saw it was a woman —a woman with very bright hair—a blonde, r believe. He ap peared tocaress her. I motioned to mv wife. She came and stood at.

my side, switching out the light as she did so. “We could now see very clearly. The man whipped out a handkerchief. During this time his face was averted. He pressed the handkerchief against the woman's chest. He smoothed the hair from her forehead. “Then he stood up, -his fists clenched, held down stiff at his sides. He bit hre lip, and suddenly, with his head raised, walked across the room toward the window. I saw his face—saw it as plainly as I do now. So plainly I was startled and said, aloud: Keith—Douglas Keith!” A tremor ran through the cour. Someone sobbed — Emma, mother of the defendant. He turned as though jerked by some goading wire. He turned and patted her hand. The muscles of his throat were tight. It became difficult to breathe. You could hear him say: “Em, don't! Em —dear—" And he smiled at his mother. But he was unaware that he did this. Unaware of everything but the picture Middleton drew'—a man kneeling, his arms about somegnesomeone with bright, shining Hair— Sandy with the shadow'y eyes focusing slowly on his. He smiled at his mother. He gripped her hand bitterly in his — “And then, Mr. Middleton? “And then as he neared the window he stooped down. I couldn’t see w'hat he wt*s doing. I only saw the back of his head and his shoulders. He appeared to be searching for something. Twice he crossed the room and crouched in this manner. Twice I saw his face very clearly. “Then he went back to the woman, lifted her in his arms, held her close, switched out the light—this was five minutes to 11.” “I took out my watch. 1 said to my wife: ‘Show's over. We've missed our boat.' I remained then to look over some letters, I left the office at 11:10.” “Did you hear any shots from the time you entered till you left?” “None.” “Did you see another man in Worth’s office during this time?” “I saw no other man than the defendant.” “Have you been in the office of the deceased since Monday, Feb. 9?” “I have.” “You saw the spot marked where the deceased lay?” “Yes.” “This spot was near to the window and in about the place where the defendant was seen by you to . have stooped down twice?” “Yes.” “A man lying In this position— a dead man could not have been seen by you from your window?” "He could not have been seen.” Douglas had stooped over the dead body of Ramon Worth. He had crossed the room, lifted a woman in his arms, carried her away. And he now sat with his arms tightly ' folded, his young eyes straight before him. Denying he hud ever seen Ramon. Denying he had been in that office though his finger prints were there. Denying he knew the gh 1 who had crept along the floor —denying it w r as his handkerchief that stanched her blood — Even his mother winced. Stealthily she raised her hand, rubbed tears trickling wretchedly down the bridge of her nose—(To Be Continued)
MR. FIXIT
Resident Says Plastering in Street Is Unsightly,
Let Mr. Fixit nresent your case to city offeiais. He is The Times representative at the oily hall. Write him at The Times. Plaster from a house, dumped in the street, annoys the neighborhood, according to a letter Mr. Fixit received today. DEAR MR. The owner at Pratt and Gray'Sts. removed att the plaster from his house and piled it on Pratt St. It amounts to three or four wagon loads and spoils the looks of the neighborhood. Could we have him haul this away? READER The street department, will investigate at once. DEAR MR." FIXTT: See what you can do about having S. Holmes, S. Addison, Harris Ave., and Hancock St. graded. S. Holmes Is in a worse shape than any other street in the city. T. CHICKADANZ 1219 Haugh St. The grading equipment of the street commission is in your vicinity and will care for this complaint soon. DEAR MR. FIXIT: When Cottage Ave., was excavatedVor paving ihe steam shovel broke pieces out of a perfectly good curbing in the 700 block. These breaks were reeemented. but it was a poor job. They have crumbled to pieces and mar the appearance of an otherwise good looking neighbborhood. Will you please help us out by having the curb put in the same condition it was before the street was paved. RESIDENTS OF 700 BLOCK. The city engineers' office will investigate.

WEEKLY SUNDAY (sCHOOI, LESSON The Value of Reconciliation Is Shown By Gilroy
The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for June 6. A lesson in reconciliation. Genesis 33:1-11. By William E. Gilroy, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist. Reconciliation implies misunderstanding, discord and strife. Sometimes strife and discord arise purely from misunderstanding, but more often they have their origin in dis- j tlnct acts of unfairness, selfishness, I and aggression. Jacob, many years before the' inci- | dent of the present lesson, had deep- j ly and grievously wronged his brother Esau. Through treachery and deceit he had robbed Jiis brother j of the birthright. All that this implies Is not perhaps entirely clear to j modern readers, but It is clear that ; Jacob had wronged his brother about ; as deeply as one man could wrong j another. Jacob Changes During the years that had since then Jacob had changed con- j siderably for the better. He who | had beea a trickster and a traitor himself had been treated treacherously. His character was a strange mixture of good and evil, but on the whole the good predominated, and he was returning now to the former scenes of his life a much better man. The evil that men do, however, not only lives after them but it lives on through the years even when their characters and, purposes have

changed for the better. Jacob, therefore, had reason to fear* the results of his former misdeeds. Esau was approaching him, and he saw that Esau had a large company of retainers with him. What would be the nature of this meeting? Would Esau come with a spirit of a long-nourished, long-unsatisfied revenge, waiting the opportunity to strike? Jacob, did not know, but nothing indicates the change for the better

himself, he passed over before them all to meet Esau. How different was the reception | from that which he feared! And how large-spirited Esau with all his weakness showed himself on this occasion! Kindliness of spirit and a sense of kinship dominated whatever vengeful feelings Esau may have ! had during the years. He showed himself a man of mag- j nanimity and running to meet his I brother Jacob embraced him, fell on | his neck, and kissed hint. The record “and they wept" expresses much. Both men had a great deal to weep over. , Then came the Introductions and the presentation of Jacob's gift. Esau declined at first to receive any present, but, being urged, he accepted it. One may note particularly the words in which Jacob referred to this. In urging Esau to accept his present, he said: "Forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.” Jacob evidently recognized the divine quality of hu man forgiveness and magnanimity. The completeness of Esau's for gtvenesn is noteworthy. Forgiveness is never real unless it is complete. Probably even explanations and the recalling of the past would have completely marred the occasion. It was one In which forgiveness meant forgetting, and In which fellowship meant ignoring much that had happened of which both men had reason to be ashamed. There is a divine art of forgiving
and forgetting which every man who would perfect his character ought to seek in the fullest,way to cultivate. Can we fail to see in this magnanimity, "as one seeth the face of God,” a symbol of that larger mag nanimity and love In which God through Christ accepts us and forgives our waywardness and our rebellion? We fear to approach Him; we feel the Justness of the wrath that might fall upon us. but when we come in humility, seeking His forgiveness, it is only the richness and power 6t His love that we feel. “My God is reconciled; His pardoning voice I hear; He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear: "With confidence I now draw nigh. And Father, Abba, Father, cry.’* This, of course, is a statement of what seemingly' happens. What actually occurs is not the reconciliation of God to us, but our reconciliation to Him. He is full of love and graciousness toward sinners and a walte only our acceptance of Ills grace. Copyright, 19tf, SEA Service N. Y. MAN DISCHARGED John M. Parker of Niagara Falls, N.
