for four horrible years. The very
thought of it made the perspiration
start on his forehead In the coldest
days.
Why did he not invent some pre-
text for going abroad? He was often
on the point of doing so, but the fear
OF arousing suspicion by any singu-
larity ofoonduct preventing him from
putting this idea in execution. So he
lived on with this threatening spectre
ever before his eyes, unable to dispel
it or to hide himself from it.
EFThe others'-he would not even
to himself use a more definite express
sion-"are in jail for their wrong
doing-tlo they suffer more? They are
deprived of freedom indeed; the blow
has fallen heavily upon them with the
sentence of the court; but afterwards
there is peace around and within
them"
To accuse himself? That would be
foolish. Chance had favored him
hitherto; why should it not continue
to do so?
So more hoping more trembling,
Hartman had become by his mis-.
demeanor, strange to say-a dilet-
tante in matters of law. He had fur
nished himself with a book on the
criminal code and the criminal pro-
cedure, together with various COM
mentaries. These books formed his
tavorite reading after shutting his
door at night. With q hasty eager
ness he devoured their contents.
As chess player would treat an
interesting problem, so he. treated
his case. Mitigating circumstances,
the chances IN Q trial, everythingpos-
sible and Impossible that layman
could extract from this iuristic ma
terial, were brought into action,
More than once he caught himselfde.
claiming n brilliant defense In a loud
tone, and then he would listen anx-
iously; somebody might have heard
him,
Hartman had also his favoritt
chapter, which treated of hestatute
of limitation. There he read: "Tht
prosecution for crimes that are pun
tshable with no more than thre,
months imprisonment must hegin
within five years, ETC."
Although he knew the passage by
heart, yet he read it again every day
as if it's contents mighthave changed
in one night.
-Four years and a halfhave passed
six months more, he will be free, le
gally free. The yeica OF conscience
would soon learn to be silent when
the pressure of anxiety should be re
moved. Six months-why should
they not pass as q moment; why
mightnot a miracle happen, and timt
Tor once, Just once, make y ieapP
The almanac became, from thai
time ON, his best friend. He coulC
/ att bent over it for hours, counting
first the months, then the weeks
then the days again and again. In
the middle of the night the thought
would strike him that he had made
u mistake in counting; the lamp was
quickly lighted, and his work begaE
anew.
Time naveEpasses slower than wher
one counts the minutes. 1t seemed
to Hartman sometimes as il it stood
still, or as If the minutes grew mali
eiously to hours, the hours to days
1.-The only could spend u few hours
in sleepl The thought led him to tr,
opium, and now many o day and al
most every night was passed in arti

came, when he awoke and realizes
that SO and 30 many hours hat
