| eyebrows. smooth cheeks which recede from
| the forehead as if in harmony with the de-
| sign of an oval face, but which 10 inter-
rupted by the chin, which widens some
/ what, and thereby conflicts with the inner
| indications of the face above. The mouth
| is composed of lips OF reasonable fullness,
| that are womanly withouTbeing voluptuOus,
| that open sauarely rather than with those
| curves characteristic OF paintings OF women
| and which, when open, reveal rows OF Whlte
| and not perfectly regular teeth, and when
also, when drawn back in smile or IN CON
versation corrugate into wrinkles and dliA-
pies that portion of the face lying to the
right and just below the mouth.
So much for details. Her general ap-
pearance if one should notice her on the
| street, would be that of q married lady OF
about twenty-seven years OF age, anu VINO
| would seem a woman of intelligence, OF iaIr
attractions and of moderate self-possessIon
In fine, at cursory glance, she would be
| placed as the wife of a merchant, and as
| woman who had polished herself by much
/ contact with the world.
In the course Of our conversation there
came into view two qualities in her features
which will be noted at the time Of their &C.
currence. And now to resume our CONVEX
| satiOn:
She hesitated moment, as I concluded
nv announcement of possible intention to
write a letter which, by some result, pos
sibly might get into some newspaper
| glanced at me with severely searching
glance, and then said:
II don't object to a truthful letter al all;
| it is the other kind that / fear"

all, it will be the facts precisely as see
them. | am in search of the truth, and not
in search of a sensation like the Bohemiaus
| of the press who hunt you up, and who
! write, not what they see or hear, but such
| things as will most attract the attention OF
! their readers
"WeII, l only ask you to do me justice

! there is any law which will reach him.
II don't think you need worry about HIM
never heard of him, and | don't believe lie
is Of any consequence, anyway
III is strange she said, that l Should
| be so prosecuted by the newspapers. There
is not one in San Francisco that will permit
| me 20 contradict the falsehoOds that are
| going about. 1t is only short time ago
that a person from the New York Herald
obtained admission here, upon his solemn
assurance that he had no, connection with
| any newspaper. He went away and pGO-
! lished long account, that had not word
| of truth in it from beginning 10 end. lie

Here Mrs Fair proceeded to parti3ulaLjze
the inventions of the Herald man al cOnsid-
cradle length. and to which ] responded by
| answering her that there are not bakers
dozen intelligent people in the United States
| who are green enough to accept anything
they see in tie Herald, except by the rule Of
cOntraries.
1T was asserted" she said, that have a
food of visitors. while the truth is that
see nobody except my child and my mother,
unless they force themselves upon NE
that is, refer TO strangers.
What do you think are your chances IN
the future!'
Il can't tell, of course. But think the
| Supreme Court can not but give ms a new
/ trial"
'.Is.the supreme bench composed of i'm
partial men,
80 far as I know, il IS"
You don't think you had a fair tIial!'
1T was perfect farce. Judge Dw'ne!le
would not give Us time TO get our witnesses
when trying for a new trial. We could
| have proved by several witnesses that one
of the iurymen had said ! should hang if
they put him on the jury. But the judge
| absolutely refused TO allow time TO send for
| these Witnesses
do you think him prejud;ced!'
Undoubtedly. You remember that he
fined a woman who applauded me Well,
men had frequently applauded when things
went against me, and he took 10 notice OF it;
n 4 nl he
ordered her fined
why do you think he was so preju-
| diced!"
II think it was from outside pressure
| Mr.. Crittenden was connected with many of
| the wealthiest and most influential families
OF the State. Judge Dwinelle has political
aspirations, and you see how all this family
influence would operate. | know that he
seemed quite impartial till one day he was
| at dinner in the club room. after which his
whole nature seemed reversed
Here Mrs. Fair proceeded to relate some
| particulars in the domestic life of the Judge
| which were not particularly complimentary
| to him, and which, from her point of view,
| went TO show that the judicial bench Is not
| beyond the reach OF a feminine influence,
| whose origin is not of a character greatly
| above that emanatiDg from the level Of
cOurtesanship.

! the face had other characteristics which
were latent when her countenaDce was IN
repOse. Now and then, when she became
! warm with the recital, the calnness Of her
| blue-gray eye became lighted with a steelv
| glow that possessed q strong magnetic
| power. In rest, her face was scarcely above
| commonplace; in action, faint bushes light
| ened across her cheek, her eye deepened
| and glowed with a strange fascination. and
her smile seemed an PmIudtlOO. a centre al
magnetic forces. | saw now the fascination
Of the face.
do YOU have any hopes that your fate
| may turn on the election Of Governor g.
asked.
q do not, particularly She sad,
although l understand that Mr.. Booth Is d
man who would treat my case fairly
Let me ask you somewhat singular
question, will you
Certainly"
Suppose that the Supreme Court refuses
| to allow you a new trial, would you accept
! communication of your sentence 81
| How do you mean ~
| ''Well, it is hard to tell to 2 woman in
| your position just what mean. 1t is to this
effect: Suppose petition.were gotten up to
| commute your present sentence to morrison
ment, would you accept itl'
Never she answered, with flush
creeping across her cheek.
"What! You prefer the capital sentencem
''Most certainly

you!"
YES it is; but / have daughter who is
now growing up. and, should / remain IN
prison, she would have to stay here and
visit me. She is young, she would grow I'D
without protection, and then would always
rest on her the stain of my prison life. But
