The chairman of mittee—he constituted himself chair- man by virtue of the fact that he was | first nominated—made a ringing speech in which he praised his hones- ty, his fairness and his } ige of the law. He complimented the min. | ers for the acumen in selecting for such a position of responsibility a man of his distinguished qualifica- tions. It was plain that he be they had chosen wisely. Then, hav- ing inquirdd the names of his two committeemen, ewise commend. ed them in glowing terms, altho of course he could not praise them quite as unstintedly as he bad praised him-| self. Still, he spoke well of them and concluded by stating that so long affairs were left in fice would be safeguarded rights of this miserable, cring! of thieves would be protected, albeit is com- kitting, in his jud: was too mild a punishment for people of their caliber. | Hear!

Under other circumstances | it would have been grimly amusing; now he was uncomfortably aware| that {t was anything but that. There ‘was no law whatever in the land save | the will of these men; in their hands lay life or death, exoneration or in- famy. He searched the faces round| about him, but could find signi neither of friendship nor of sym- pathy. This done, he looked every- where for a glimpse of a woman's straw-colored halr and was relieved to discover that the Countess Cour- teau was not in the audience. Doubt- less she had left for Dyea and was already some distance down the trail. He breathed easier, for he did not wish her to witness his humilfation, and her presence would have merely afded to his embarrassment, ‘The prosecution's case was quickly made, and it was a strong one. Even yet the damning trickle of rice grains gould be traced thru the moss and mire directly to the door of the pris- oners’ tent, and the original packag identified positively its ow was put in evidence. This In Itself was enough; testimony from the! other men who had likewise recov- ered merchandise they had missed and mourned merely strengthened the case and further inflamed the minds of the citizens. When tt came time to hear the de- fense, the McCaskeys stared at Pierce | coolly; therefore he ciimhed to the tent platform and faced his accusers. | He made known his namo, his} birthplace, tie ship | | i} hich had borne | him north, He told how he had land- 04 at Dyea, how he had Jost his last dolar at the gambling table, how he had appealed to the McCaskey boys, and how they had given him shelter. | ‘That chance association, he took pains to explain, had continued, but had never ripened into anything! more, anything closer; {t was in no wise a partnership; he had nothing | to do with them, and they had| nothing to do with him. Inasmuch | as the rico had been stolen during} the previous night, he argued that he could have had no hand in the theft, for he had spent the night im Linderman, which fact he of: fered to prove by two witnesses, “Produce thet,” ordered the chalr. man. “One of them Is still at Linderman, the other was here in Sheep Camp an| hour ago, She has probably started for Dyea by this time,” “A woman?” “Yes, sir, I brought her across,” “What ia her name?” Phillips hesitated. ‘The Countess | Courteau,” sald he, There was a mur mur of Interest; the members of the committes conferred with one an. other, “Do you mean to tell us that you've got a titled witness?” the self. pointed spokesman inquired.
