An audience of Boston's beauty
culture and refinement filled the old
South Church. The hour for the lecture
drew near, fingered briefly on the point
and passed. An impatient rustic began
to sweep the through the house, as the
speaker of the evening still delayed his
appearance upon the platform. The
committee glanced nervously at each
other, conferred together in short and
hurried whispers and then hastily re-
paired to the ante-room. An elderly
man was standing in the centre of the
room as they entered, clutching wildly
at his flowing hair and muttering in
coherently to himself.
"My dear sir" exclaimed the chair
man of the committee, Fastening forward,
" the hour advertised for the lecture to
begin has long since passed, and the
audience is impatient"

prisoners as the murderer. "That is the
man," she-said, only he is little thinner
