tAnd, Kate, you must put in a good

over good-humoredly at the doctor
but never mind; We'll settle that to-
morrow; let lis now proceed to business.
Come in, gentlemen; we have some
spare seats On the bench. 20, there,
police! make way, make way Come in;
there's quite All interesting case in
COURT
AS the parties took their seats and
around, the first object that arrested
their attention vas the negro He was
standing in the witness box apparently
awaiting the return Of the presiding
magistrate to resume his examination.
On the right OF She bench, and i'm
naediately below it, sat the cabin boy,
wrapped in thick, blue blouse, and
looking pale and emaciated after his
sickness. Beyond him, and near the
dock i'll which Randall Barry stood,
shackled and guarded by two constables,
appeared the tall form OF Else Curley.
She was seated on one of the steps lead
ing upto the jury room, the hood OF
her cloak, as usual, drawn over her
head, with the white elf locks visable
beneath it. But the object which APP
peared to attract every eye, and chal-
lenge universal attention, was the noble,
manly figure of the young outlaw, as he
stood before his Judges, awaiting his
trial, his left arza still in sling, and
right bound by r chain running round
his waist, and fastened by paddock in
front.
Randall Barry was now in his twenty
fifth year; but misfortune and disap-
pointment had cast a shade OF melan-
choly on his countenance shat made him
look several years older. His face was
enoinently hansome, and his person tall
and muscular. Though far from being
robust, his limbs were we'll moulded.
and evidently capable Of great physical
exertion. AS he stood in the dock, his
dark eye wandered slowly y over the null
titude, resting now and then for NOM
ent ON those he recognized. But when
Kate Petersham appeared, and took the
place assigned her by the clerk OF the
court, he glanced at her sharply for an
instant, and then, as she raised her eyes
to his, bent his head and blushed at the
thought Of his degradation. But to re-
turn to the negro.
"Your name is Sambo?'' resumed
Captain Petersham addressing the wit
ness.
Eyes, naassa.''
''Sambo WHAT"
"Niggar Salnbo.''
you're a negro-that's pretty evi-
dent; but what's your surname?'
"Don't know, massa."
''What are you called, Sambo Smith,
Or Sambo Brown, OF Sambo Robinson?
You've some family name, have you
not?''
Nothing, massa,'' replied the Afri-
can, nothing but Sambo.' -
"Why, you rascal, 10 you mean to
tell me you've got no family name?''
30, sart1n, massa, I'm got family
name"
