Two new defendants had been brought before the bench One of them the one who had checked the merriment was a little young-old man in whose forlorn face the sorrows of the ages seemed written. "What is your trouble my friend asked Judge Caverly. My name is Delma (Juerin. Judge, and my story is short." answered the defendant. "A month ago I came to Chicago. In the terminal station I
met this man who now stands at ray side as my codefendant. He taid his name was Frank Schaefer In response to a question I informed hint I had come here to look for work. ' Work' aaid he. My boy. you need not work. Your face is your fortune It is the saddest face in the world Have you never noticed that people are sad and gloomy when you are about?' "So I went with Schaefer.
