Brave Charley! No friend had eve
worked harder for the salvation of anoth
rr than had he for Harold Vincent. Eve
since the fatal dsy that Harold had beer
arrested on the charge of murderin,
(.eOrge Pollock. he had been near him
|utfering words Of comfort or earnestl,
working for his acquittxl. And now tha
the sentence of death had been pronounc
LED, and the dread day OF execution ap.
pointed, he had not yet lost hope, ant
had set on foot . brave scheme though
,A';.. ~. s-;>-A- ..isht ascape his ig
nomi"i0us fate. II was III almost forlori
hope. but when Charley Lawrence ant
Jack Hobby put their heads together
they were . power at any time, but since
10 friends life was at stake they would IN
Idoubtedly work wonders.
Harold Vincent was deemed guilty b,
the law Of the murder Of George Pollock
The evidence was purely c,rcumstantial
The mur :ered man and the condemned
man had been rivals in loVc. PollocI
was found dead in . suburban grove witt
I,hrs knife wounds in bis breast. AT hi'
side vas found button which CORES
Don ded with those of . coat of Hsrold's
There was . button missing from liar'
lold's .coat.!c:I The prisoner had been seel
lilo the vicinity of the murder on the even
ling il must have occurred. That was al
there was of it. The prisoner, whel
charged with the crime. had sc0rnfully
denied the charge, and all during h'
rial had conducted himself in mannrl
that left 4 very favorable impression o.
1.-The minds OF the spectators. he had
meyer for once betrayed the aligh est ev'
|d.nce Of guilt, and while the awful &c"
ltence was being pronounced upon him ~
ikept his blue eyes IN the Judges, and q
Its conclusion bowed gracefully, and wa
/ led away. He saw he was at the mercy
of . train of fatal circumstances, ant
knew that nothing would save him bu
xecu,ive clemehcy. When that was De
MED him he exclaimed. God help my
poor mother, Nellie. and darling mary
| I'd commenced preparation tof the 'sS
scene.
When Charley left the presence OF Ne'

he sought his friend. Jack Holly. IL
