CHAPTER XIV.
WHERE IS THE TRUTH?

The verdict was expected by the great
crowd in the courtroom; It was greeted
merely by a buzz of whispered remark
when it was announced.
1t was hoped against by the accused,
his wife, and his counsel. Yet each Of
them was prepared for it.
Ralph COurtenay never blanched. He
had set himself to meet this result; and
bravely he faced it.
So did the heroic woman who sat at
his side. The nameless agony of her
heart was not in the least shown upon her
firm face. She felt q lifetime of pain in
that moment, but none knew it but she.
Prisoner at the bar, commanded the
Judge, stand up. What have you to say
why the sentence OF death shall not be
pronounced upon yOu?"
Ralph COurtenay conferred with AIr.
Lascelle a moment. Then he spoke out,
clear and strong. What he said was re-
membered aftsrWard; but when it was ut
tered it was needed merely as another
curious incident Of this strange trial.
My lord, he said, Il have not been
permitted to testify upon this trial, where
my own life is at stake; and in ignorance
of what explanation might give of what
has here been proven against me, this
jury has found me guilty of murder. But
my counsel, who has done all that man
could do for me, tells me now to speak
freely. obey 1t viii not arrest the
doom that is closing about me; but my
words Will make known the truth, so far
as 1t can now be known, about this mys-
FERROUS affair, No; what / shall say VIII
not save me from the cruel fate that is
preparing for me; but. one day. the whole
truth viii be knOWn-and then it viii be
seen that have spoken truly.

One after another, during the balance
of that day and the whole of the next,
the witnesses for the prosecution we're ex-
amined. Excepting as to matters which
lay in mere theory and conjecture, the
Attorney General had, when he rested,
proved all that he had declared he should
prove. The case was very strong against
the prisoner.

Lascelle developed little in his favor;
very little. He made it appear that dur
ing his stop at Colchester the prisoner
inquired for others tesides Robert
Barnwell. Also, that he laughed
and chatted with some acquaintance
there, and appeared to be merry and
iovial; that he told them he was on his
way down to the lower part Of the county,
to be married. The lawyer also made it
uncertain whether Captain COUrtenay

HOUSE GOWN. simplicity makes
their charm. No matter how cheap or
coarse the fabric, if it be shaped artistic
ally the effect viii be fine. Therefore I
advise women with limited money, but
with unlimited desire to look winsome, to
acquire the ability to fit their
figures becOmingly. With that power
gained, they can triumph over a lack
of monetary means. Buy and try pat
terms, alter and adapt them, until you
have one bodice that is Just right. Then
keep that for a model, and you may pro-
duce garments with all the style to them
that an expensive maker could impart.
Pay particular heed to your corsets.
Heed neither those who counsel the dis
carding of stays nor those who tighten
them until they are injurious. That is
subject upon which nobody can general
lze. 1t is happy fact, however, that
there IS a tendency to secure an effect of
sOftness by having cOrsets made as thin
and small as possible.
Here is a recipe which I give to thin
women in all sincerity: Spread damp
towel over your chest when you begin
dressing. When the toilet is complete
the towel is drawn slowly upward over
the top of the coTsage. This lifts all
there is of pIumpness to the highest pos
sibls point, and it is held there by the
snugness of the corsage.
What 1 have written as to good taste
triumphing over common materials should
be supplanted by the advice to study
cOlOrs. Do not put a hue on your back
that will kill your face or your hair. Do
not accept g shade because it is in vogue.
No one is ever sure beforehand Just what
color Will be in fashion.
4 have never been able, said an adept
New York dressmaker with whom lately
talked, to warn my customers in adj
vance, nor when once a color was estab-
lished, trace it back to the source of its
