White, in a voice husky with emotiou; " who is to clear that 6f taint?"

chairman. "Call the' next case."
Dazed, trembling under the influence
of warrinir passions, he left the dock
and passed out of the court into the
sunlit street. Whither should he direct
his feet? As he slowly and mechanic
ally, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, with bowed head and leaden gait, stole along in the direction of the river-side, he felt a touch on his arm. He paused.

sun was sinking redly behind
a familiar belt of woods which fringed the further banks of tho river as he continued his moody walk. He had held on for miles, heedless of the direc
tion he took, and now he awoke from his fit of passionate bitterness to lind himself on a snot that had often been
hallowed by the presence of the girl he loved. What did she think of him ?
"Harold!"
"Fanny!" In those two words all was expressed.
In that fierce embrace doubt was slain.
