In my bitter mood I look with hate on these senas'lon seekers. I hate them even more when I think that their morbfd •rnvine for eTcltenvntmey b» satisfied with such fond as they little exp»ct and I clinch my teeth as I picture the scene at that mo* sent when PhiMnpa, in pursuance of Inr immovable resolution, rises, a«d makes her affort to proclaim her own guilt and the •onvlcted man's innocence. Although I strive to the picture from my mind,

at the man will be acquitted, yet ag in and again th» dread of the worst seize' me, and I tiate evory face in that crowd, which tnav, by and by, to gaping, with looks of •wonder and curiosity, at the woman I love!

J*s in a haze I see some faces which are familiar to me. A number of gentlemen anter and seat themselves on the benches which counsel usually occupy. Some few of 4bese I knew by sight They are country fpntlemen from the neighborhood of RoclInr, who are now called to serve on the grand iu.ty. 1 see also the thin-faced, hawk* I»h-looking woman who calls herself Mrs. Wilson. I am thankful that she takes a seat in front of us and does not see us. She, Hke ourselves, must know that an innocent man is this day about to be tried, 80 for half an hour I sit, gazing now at tbe crowd or people, now at the empty dock and vacant bench in front of me listening ing to tbe hum of voices which rises from the packed oourt longing for the moment to come when this dreadful suspense may end yet all the same dreading and willing to nut off that moment. And all the while Phslippa. in her black garb, close to nieand, anscon by our neighbors, holding my hand.

Hush! The door at the back of the bench opens, and at ten o'clock to the minute the biaak-robed judge appears. He bows to the oourt. seats himself, and by his action signifies that he is r?ady to b^gin the business of •he day. No trembling prisoner in the dock aver scarnvtl the judge's face with ran-e anxiety than 1 scan his lordship's at this present moment.

CHAPTER XV, i/ „5 THE BLAOK CAP.

There it silence, or ua out. silence, in the oourt. 1 he buzz of suppressed conversation atuks almost to nothing—absolutely to noth* ing an tho judge's marshal rises, and alter guLiuitng Uirough the mystorious proclamation which begins "Oyeis! Uyez! Oyozl" declares tho court upon.

Ptalippa, still oiosely veiled, sits like a statu?. Her hand, which ever grasps mine, scarcely responds to tho pressure by which again and again 1 endeavor to bid hor hope ior tho LksU 1 would give much if even sow I could get her to consent to my lead ing her away. Iviare nut suggest this. I .know that doing so would be waste of words.

Tho court is open. The red judge is perusing letters a.iJ papers which lie in front •f him as calmly and unconoernedly as if tho life's happiness 01, at least, one mau and "Woman did not greatly depend upon the Tiew no takes of the case about to be tried. Ho ra.ses one of Lis bouquets and inhales the perlume of the flowers. How can one in fei* position behave like an ordinary mortal! TVero we not here he might condemn an inaoccnt man to a shameful death! I won ier it, with such horrible responsibility resting «n him, a judge oan ever really be a happy man!

These thoughts seem trivial bat my mind it by now in a Strang* state it is. indeed, so sensitive that every slight incident, every •mail ceremonial of to-duy seems to be imjpressed forever upon it

A bewigs^d gentleman—the ©lerk|f assise--, tte man next me tel.!hiss neighbor—rtso .-ma calls name after name, until he has fixed •bo twenty-three gentlemen neeJed to rm lb* grand jury. They stand up in their and, \n batches of four, are rapHly sworn. The alwurtl proclamation against via* and immorality is read much good may it do every one presen I Ttien the clerk sits down, nnd tue judge, forsaking his papers, fesgins his work., ,f

He is stirs to say something about this important murder oa- I »hall, perhaps, be able to learn how It was that the man tell under suspicion.

Alas! the judge is one who, by years of practice, has acquired the knack of using Bis voice only just so much as is absolutely necessary. The grand jury is close to him and cod. no doubt, bear him but to those who, like ourselves, are far away in the background of the court, his remarks are is* a-'dible. Ail 1 can catcu is a dosing caution the grand jury, to bear in mind that it is wt within its pro vinos to determine tbe ia aocenoe or guiit of the prisoners, but to •Imply decide whether there is or is not suffiaicot evidence for tbe oases to go to trial.

For the first time since we entered the court, Philippa speak3 to ine. "Are they trying bim now!" she as .fed in a low, awei whisper, yet in a voice so changed that 1 know wiiat the suspense is costing her.' Briefly I explain the procedure of the law, wf far as 1 know it. She sighs, and says no more.

More monotonous calling of many names, to which summons, however, another class of m^n respond. The common juryman are now being called. Probably, to save time, twelve men are sent into the box, where they sit, some appearing to enjoy the di nity of the position, some with stolid indifference, others with acute unhappin -ss plainly manifested. I look at tb.-se men with scarcely lee interest than I look at the judge. On them, or on some of them, our fate rests as muoh, perhaps more, than it rests on him. Those men are trying us— sot only tiie man who will by and by stand in that rail-topped enclosure, into which we look down.

Twenty long, weary minutes pass by. All •yes turn to a wooden gallery in tbe right band crrner of the court. A door in the wall opens. The members of the grand jury emerge and fill the gallery. The foreman arms himself with a gigantic fishing rod, to which he attaches a paper, which is conveyed by this clumsy method to that busy gentleman, tbe clerk of assize. What idiotio foolery ail this teems to mel wm

The olerk detaches the document,'glancet at it. and looks up at the gallery. "Gentlemen of tbe grand jury, you return a true bill against William Evans for murder!" ''We do," answered the foreman with shy teleinnity.,^-.

S

I grind my teeth. Fools! If men of ctilture and standing err like this, what can be expected trom a common jury! It is well for me that I heard the caution just now given by tbe judge. I take such comfort as I oan by thiuking they have tried the evidence, not tbe man! What can the evidence be! Aii! we shall soon know.

Tbe clerk turns, and addressing no one in ^particular, says: Briug up the prisoner." Once more I set my teeth. I feel my wire's arm tremble her hand grows cold. I hear a buss, as of expectation, run through the crowded court Every eye turns in one direction—toward the empty dock. For a moment a species of dieziness comes over me objects swim before my eyes. The sensation passes away. I recover myself. The dock is no longer untenanted. In the centre, with a stalwart policeman on either side of him, stands the accused! The man who, if needs be, must be Saved by such a sacrifice!

From my place, far back in the public gallary, I can, of course, see nothing more of tbe prisoner than his back. I gaze at this with intense curiosity, endeavoring to determine the station of the man who is now about to be tried for his life. I can but eather this much: He is tall and slight. His dross is of a semi-respectable nature, but seems to have seen much servios. He might be anything from a broken-down clerk to a gentleman's servant out at elbows. I rejoice at bis poverty-stricken appearance. Judging from it, money will be welcome to him. Let tbe jury but assert his innocence, and I feel certain that the liberal pecuniary compensation which it is my intention to mete out will repay him a hundred times for th? ordeal which he is undergoing.

Ordeal! Yes, it is the right word. It is easy to see it is a terrible ordeal to the poor fellow. No need to look at his face to be told that much. Even as he emerged from the cells below he seemed to quake with fear. Now he absolutely falls forward in the dock, supporting himself by grasping the iron ra'iling which runs round the top. 1 notice that bis fingers, as they cling to the iron bars, open and close convulsively. Every movement of his back and shoulders betras fear and anguish of mind. His state is pitiable, so pitiable that one of his custodians places his hands under the wretched man's arm, and gives him the physical support which ho so sorely needs. He bends his head as in shame, and I know that could I see his face it would be white as my own or my wife's.

In spite of the strain upon my mind I was able to wonder at the prisoner's hopeless demeauor. Although I had, as it were, torn my very heart out by the roots to insure this man's safety in the event of things going wrong with him although I did not even now regret the course I had taken, I am bound to say that his cowardly behavior took away much of the sympathy wuich I Bhould otherwise have felt for him in his unmerited predicament. It is, of course, very easy to my what one vould do if in another's place. I certainly fr sure that, were I in

1

that poor fellow's plight, that consciousness of my own innocence would give me strength enough to raise my head and face boldly all the judges, juries and prosecuting counsel in tbe world. I was willing to mnke every allowance for the nervousness na ural to such a position but I groaned inwardly as I, gasKl upon that miserable, limp, half stand-! ing, half reclining form.

Why does he not stand upright! Too well I know that another is watching that abject wretch with interest even more intense than mine. I know that every attitude of shame or fear is understood by Philippa, and adds to the scruples which she feels at following my advice and awaii'ing the result of the trial. Every agonised movement of the prisoner in tho dock seems to be faintly re-1 produced by the hand within' my own. Every pang he suffers runs through the frame of the wonfen who knows that hs is suffering for her deed. I

The clerk reads over the indiotment "That he, William Evans, did feloniously, willfully, and of malice aforethought kill and murder Sir Morvjm FeiTand, Baronet" As the reading proceeds Philippa draws me toward her. "Basil," she says in a low whisper, "this is more dreadful titan I dreamed of. I cannot bear iMonger. Think of that poor man's snguish I Basil, be also m*y have a wife who loves hlmt the may be in the court, Thhtk of ber I OhI what oan I d« What 1 f* "Nothing—nothing but wait asd hope," 1 answer. "Could you not go down and speak to him, or send a message in some way! Tell him not to be so wretched that even at the last moment ho will be saved that tho real mur-

BasO, you

most do this." "I cannot ^I dare not It will rain ua Hush, dearvsi be calm, and listen."

Tlie reading of thie indictment is now over. The clerk turns to tbe prisoner. "Are you guilty, or not guiityf he asks, in a clear voice. Although every one In that court knows what tbe answer will be, there is a silence so profound that a pin might be I.- ird drofx Every one seem desirous of hearing tbe prisoner's voice. Even 1, myself, lean forward, and strain every nerve to bear bis plea.

There is a Ifnr.'dwl rR*r«e. 7% may be that the prtw ..1 derstand that be is expected ivj. j-. It may be that bit oollapsed state depmcs bim of tbe power of speech. I notice that one of (be policemen touches him«on the shoulder, and whispers to him. Still for a moment there is sOenca.

It is broken, but not by tbe prisoner. Philippa gives a low, soft wail, heard only, I think, by ma "I can bear ft no longer," sbe whispera She snatches ber hand Cram mine. She throws back ber thick, dark veil and stands

erect in the body of the court I cas'- one glance at her pale but determined lot king face, then 5 ow my head upon my han ls and wish that death might at that moment smite us both. All is over. I am conquered.

Even as(I hi le my face I see every eye in that thronged curt turning to the till, majestic, dark-robed figure which rises in the midst of that motley throng. Th -n, clear kill loud, I hear h€r beloved voice ring out "My lord," I hear her y. I raise my head at the sound. The eyes of bench, bar, jury and public are fixed upon her. The very rrisoner turns in the dock and gasen straight at her.,

*yin

$

"ify lord," I hear her say. I raise my fund at the sound. She gets no further than those two words. I "Order in the court! Order in tbe court!" is shoutid so Bternly and fiercely that she all but loses her presence of mind. Su- falters, she hesitates affl glances helplessly around.

I seise the moment By sheer force I drag her back to her seat I pray her by tue love she bears me to wait in silence. I draw tbe veil over her faoe to hide it from tbe hundreds of curious eyes whioh are turned upon -it While so doing I hear the sharp, mandate, "Turn that person out of court"

Had any serious attempt been made to put the order Jn force, I believe that Philippa would have resisted, and once more attempted to assert the prisoner's innocence and her own guilt—if it was guilt Fortu nately the polioe.nan who draws near us tt carry out the order is my friend of the morning who had acoepted my gold. ,It may be on thio account he favors us. It may be, when a momentary disturbance subsides, and tho perpetrator does not seem bent upon repeating it, that the expulsion is not insisted upon. It may be that Philippa's accosting the judge was looked upon as a solecism brought about by the exciteinaut of a weak woman who was in some way connected with the prisoner. I suppose such a scene doe3 sometimes occur and perhaps, if its repetition is guarded against, a hu-manely-minded judge will not deny the offender the sorry comfort of seeing her friend's trial to an end. Perhaps the judge who this day presides is unusually good natured and easy going. Anyway, our friendly policeman does not carry out his initructions and the court resumes its business.

But many curious looks are cast at tho veiled woman by my side. I notice that the hawk-faced Mrs. Wiison turns, in her seat and looks always at us and, strange to gay, I notice that the prisoner in the dock is still staring fixedly in our direction. Ttie policemen take him by the arms face him round toward the bench. Once more the solemn question, "Are you guilty, or not guilt T' is asked.

A short excited pause. The prisoner answers. Well, I know what he says, although he speaks to faintly that I do noti hear, bis voice. Strange to say, his answer seems to create considerable agitation. People who are near to hi*n look back and whisper to those in the rear. A barrister turns in his seat and stares in a dumbtounded way at a gentleman behind him. This gentleman rises up fussily, and bustles round to the dock, where for a minute lie seems to be engaged in earnest convo Bation with the prisoner. The latter shah Is his head sullenly aud hopelessly. In ait apparently highlyexcited state the gentleman, whom I rightly judge to be solicitor for the defence, hurries back, whispers to the barrister, aud seems by his gesture to be 'trashing his hands of seme responsibility.

What does it all mjan! Why do the3' not go on with the trial! The suspense is growing more than I can bear. Hush I The judge speaks.

The excitement in spreading through the court. In spite of Uhe warning looks of the authorities, people are whispering to each other. The judge is speaking earnestly to the prisoner. He seems to be explaining something, counselling something. Still the man shakes his head sullenly. What does it all mean!

Mean! The next solemn action the next solemn words of the red-robed judge answer my question, and tell me that a thing has come to pass which never entered within the range of probability. Or have I been asleep! Has the trial been gne through, and tbe worst, the very worst, happened! No five minutes ago I pulled Phiiippa back her seat, and forced her to withhold her damning words. Even now my grasp is on her to prevent her from rising.

Hal Look! The judge places a square of black silk upon his head. The prisoner cowers down. He would fall were it not for tbe arms which support him on either side. A rustle of inten»» feeling runs through the court Men catch their breath women's eyes are distended. The sensation seekers are rewarded. Hark! Tbe judge speaks. lean hear him plainly now, although there is deep emotion in his voice. "Prisoner at the bar, you are guilty, by your own confession, of an atrocious, cold blooded murder, tbe motive for which ii known but to yourself and your God. For me only the painful duty remains—"

Guilty I On Lis own confession! Tbe man guilty] Tbe man to save whom we have travelled night and day—he the criminal!
