and see that your witness is here at that
hour"
The hours dragged along, the judge
went to lunch, another session was be-
gun, and at last Thomas Jones" was
again called to the bar. The COM
plainant had not turned up, and the
Judge said, irritably:
'.You are discharged. Jones. but warn
you not to do any thing of this kind
again"
'.But haven't done any thing wrong,
your honor" protested Lawrence.
You'll get into serious trouble right
here if you're not careful" cried the
Judge.
'Here, you, get out! Understand"
said court officer, pushing Lawrence
toward the gate. Lawrence did under
stand, and with feeling somewhat
akin to relief, he passed through the
audience room free man.
"When once get we'll out OF all this, :"
he thought, 'I'll get the Legislature to
provide fund for supplying discharged
prisoners with a square meal. I'd al
MOSt give NY AOCASy AOA SAAAOAA csOssA
with lyonnaise potatoes"
What to do to get this desirable re-
freshment was a problem. He looked
up and down the avenue moment and
then returned to the courtroom. He
inquired of an officer near the door about
the elderly lady who had carried of his
park acquaintance.
Of LOT "a
know that am no convict" he thought,
and he did not disguise from himself .
hope that she would help him somehow
in his straits.
The officer told him that the lady
came to court every day, exercising her
charitable disposition in assisting inno-
cent prisoners who were unable to Sc
cure legal advice.
''But she won't do any thing for you"
added the officer; ''she draws the line at
men,"
Nevertheless Lawrence obtained her
name and address, and set of to call
upon Mrs. Bowers far up on Madison
avenue. he amused himself on the way
by trying to estimate how long his vital
forces would endure miles of walking
every day without any renewal of the
tissues, and by specializing as to what
stage Of starvation would be the most
painful. Now and again he became dizzy
and almost lost consciousness, which led
him to think that perhaps he had COM
passed the worst part Of starvation al
ready.
Mrs. Bowers was at home and she re-
ceived Drane in a tiny room which she
evidently used as an office for her char
liable work.
Madame" began Drane, 81 am in
circumstances so unusual for me, am

court this morning when you secured
the release Of a young lady"
"Oh, yes" interrupted Mrs. Bowers.
''You are the man who went to her aid
in the park. HIM. That was . very
worthy thing to do" and she eyed him
critically through her glasses Law
renee felt 50 oppressed by this fresh hu-
initiation that he hung his head. Mrs.
Bowers continued: II should not have
expected it OF you. have made Ions
study of human nature, my man, and
warn you that you can not impose on
me. So they discharged you. HIM.

'Quite impossible" interrupted Mrs.
Bowers, placidly. "She Is young and
