A’ discreet knock sounded, and the bailiff put his head in at the door. “His honor ready to go into Court, sir,” he said; and with a nod of relief the prosecutor gathered up his papers. “Defence begins -today, don't it asked the detective as he left. ‘“What do you guess it's going to be?" “I'm not guessing anything the District Attorney grimly, “e that his witnesses are going to a bad time when they get into hands.” “Tell me something I don’t know!’ chuckled the detective with -hones admiration, though after a moment's pause he added behind his superior's back. “But Mary Page has got the svmpathy of the crowd at that, by glory!"” She HAD won the sympathy of the spectators now——there was no doubt of it, and the hostility that was writ so large on the faces for her at the beginning now greeted the prosecutor instead, and it was a hostility that somehow was the more acute because the faces were so oddly familiar—so familiar, in fact, that he had almos spoken to one of the men who sat in the front row when he had passed him in the corridor the day before. The reporters seemed like old friends, too, and he noticed with a grim little smile that one of the ‘‘sob sisters” had on a new and very be- coming hat, and he wondered ironi- cally whether it was in honor of the defence or because the day before one of the star’ writers on a big daily had changed his seat.in:order to sit beside her! He knew the latter rea- son was the more probable, and the farce of life, the strange dramatic comedy of it struck him as it had many times before; that here with the black shadow of a shameful death hanging over the girl in the prisoner’s dock, and with the bloody clothes of a murdered man lying before the jury, men and women still found time. to | said ept have my hats and ties and getting out to lunch- eon!

The mask or at any rate the smile was till there when he came into court, not with Mary, this time, but with her mother. His hand was tucked protecting under the arm of the little gray-haired woman, and his | lips were close to her ear as if he were murmuring a final encouragement—or a final instruction! Mary, too, was smiling, and she had thrust a white into her belt, a rose as palely and her lip: red petals, shared silently repeating: “Today we will foday Philip will e!” And not art would she rose sweet curled back like soft the words she was begin my defence. start to, set even in her own let herself contem- late the thorny path that must be ‘aveled before that elusive freedom ad struck the invisible gyves from f her wrists and heart. She was still wincing a little from he lash of the final speech of the rosecutor. It seemed to her as if nothing to come—except the final mo- nents before the verdict—could pos- ibly be as bad as that half hour of ‘he day before. So it was with equan- mity, through a vearning wistfulness showed in her eyes, that she heard he first witness of the day called. “Mrs. Annie Page! The frail little woman seemed to have visibly shrunk when she took her lace in the witness-stand, and the great violet shadows under her eyes and the colorless lips told of the strain that the trial was proving. Her slender fingers curled like tendrils about the edge of the stand, as if she feared her ability to remain erect; but here eves were steady and her voice clear—love for her child was greater than fear of the law or the paln of dragging out longhidden shames and sorrows. ‘Mrs. Page, how long ago that you met the man who came your husband?” “Thirty-one years ago mas."” “And you became engaged almost immediately ?” “Yes! “But it was some years before you wera married, was it not?" “Yes."” “Wi “Because of—of Mr. Page’s habits.
