smiled rs if they were enjoying 4 rare
joke.
Both judge and jury gazed at the
witness in surprise, while the counse
for defendant stood awaiting the an
swer, his lips apart with the smile he
could not suppress.
Tctlow suddenly recovered himself
however, when his sisters eyes met
his, and she had favored him with an
angry glance. His face became scarlet
as he glanced at the attorney, and re-.
piled TO the question he had asked him.
"Sir," sald he, with quivcring voice,
edo you mean to insult me By asking
such m absurd question:?
"Not at all, was the mild reply
then he asked: "Then that was moi
the business that engaged your time on
your sisters wedding dayP'
mo, sir" was the reply with strong
emphasis.
"Thc business was probably of q
secret nature, that you manifest sucl
reluctance TO mention it, observed the
attorney.

was the tart reply.
"ln that case we will not dctain you
any longer. You may take your seat, "
He resumed his seat beside Mrs.
Hull, and engaged in a whispered con,
ycrsation with her. They spoke in ger.
man, but Varnoe, who sat Just back OF
them, kept his sharp ears open, while
his eyes were looking around the court
room, and hc learned by the few stray
words that reached his cars that Mrs.
Hull was rating him soundly, and
charged him with "making n donkey

The servants Of Mrs. Hull next tcsti.
fled, but their evidence was OF little i'm
portancc. They merely had heard Mrs.
Hull say, previous to her marriage
with Mr.. Rowland that she would soon
be in better position, and after that
had taken place she announced it to
them, but enioincd them to keep il a
secret from his niece, rs 'he did not
want her to know it for the present.
The Rev. Mr.. Brainard was the last
witness callcdby the complainant. lie
gave his evidence in n calm, deliberate
manner, and nothing rufficd his calm
demeanor during the time he was on
the stand.
During his cross-cXamination, the at.
tOrncy asked him if he had known Mr..
Rowland previous to his marriage.
"No sir" replied he.
"ln convcrsing with him, did you
notice any peculiarly about him while
spcaking?" asked Mr.. Harvey.
"Well, YES" was the someweat hesi-
taling reply, Il did notice pcculi,
arity.nr
"What was it?n
"A peculiar uplifting of his head
ever two OF three seconds. | noticed
it almost as soon as he began TO speak. "
As he uttered the concluding words,
his eyes wandered to where Mrs. Hull
and her brother were seated. The
latter gaaed ut her brother as if he
had been fascinated, while his features
assumed IN unearthly hue. Mrs. Hull
seemed also to be in mental distress,
but she did not look at the last witness.
She stared into vacancy, as if her
thoughts were wandering in the past.
"Did you notice this popularity we
speak of in any other person before OF
since" asked the attorney,
mot before, but since,n was the alb
sent rejoinder, as his gaze fingered on
the pallid face of Henry Tctlow.
"When and where was il, and who
was the person possessing this pcculiai

To-day, in this conrt-room, and the
person is the gentleman witness who

the reverend gentleman, Us he turned
to the attorney.
Can you point him out?"

llo stopped abruptly, as his eyes
rested on the vacant seat lately Occu-
pied by Henry Tetlow.
The lawyer also noticed the vacated
scat. Mrs, Hull had her veil over her
face now, but her pale features were
plainly visible through the llimsy veil.
1t looked like u face of marble.
Mr.. Harvey smiled and exchanged
glances with the detective, who smiled
in return.
Jesse Sell was no longer seated be-
sido Varnoe. lie had left the court
room at the same moment Tetlow had
gone out.
