A PAIR OF CRANKS.
BY HI. M. GREENE.

survival from the old jurisprudence Of
the King Charles charter, being con-
cluded, and the little old justice hay
ing cheerily responded, "Certsinly,
Mr.. Trumbull, certainly" the name of
Amos Williams was called as the first
witness.
Amos Williams, sworn on the Holy
EVangelists, Geposed and said, with
many pauses and much hesitancy, that
he was employed as watcher at the
mill on the night in question, that
sometime in the early part of the even
ing, just after dark, he thought, he
was in the mill in the dark when he
heard noise. Herr the further pro-
gresS OF mis- was stayed by
the appesraE - u,, g young man who
had so stslwartly champiOned the good
name of Nettie, who advanced and ad-
dressing the court, asked to be allowed
to act as counsel for the accused.
"Wall, Mr.. Calvin" said the justice,
81 don't see how that can be as you
are no lawyer" "Here, your honor,
is my authority" and he presented
certificate from the supreme court of
the state authorizing Charles Calvin to
plead in that or any other of the courts
of the state. The justice looked over
it long and keenly, inspected the seal SO
as to discover if it had been stamped
upon the document or pasted thereon,
turned the paper over and looked at
the back, and handing it back to Mr..
Calvin, said. "That seems all right.
But does the accused want you as her
counselP" eyes, your honor, do,"
promptly answered Nettie, as with a
smile she drew the young man to her
side. He shook hands with her, and
in whisper bade her be of good cheer,
and then addressed the court. He
asked for a few moments private con-
sultation with his client. Here Mr..
Trumbull interposed. This was most
unseemly interruption, he said. The
witness for the state was on the stand,
and this unusual proceeding had ST.
fenced his testimony. AS the repre-
sentation of peace and dignity of the
state, he.objected to such impertinence.
Mr.. Calvin read Sec. 10, Article 1,
of the state constitution and pleaded
that the provisions being that in all
criminal prosecutions, the accused
should have the assistance of counsel
in his defense, it was unquestionably
intended that the full benefits of coun-
sci should be afforded, and that coun-
sci could not act understandingly with
out full opportunity of consultation
with his client. To this Mr.. Trumbull
objected that this preliminary proceed
ing could not be considered as prose-
cution, it being only an examination,
and that in the same article, Sec. Z,
it was provided that no person could be
held to answer for a capital or other
infamous crime unless on presentment
on indictment by grand jury, except
in cases Of such offenses aS
are cognizable by justice Of the peace.
AS this offense was one of those cog
nizsble by justice Of the peace as
matter of exclusive Jurisdiction, it fol
lowed that the provisions in regard to
counsel did not apply. The justice de-
MED the application, and Mr.. Calvin

dow, and after standing still moment,
light a match and apparently search
the floor by the light, that he heard
her (he had decided by this time that it
was a Woman), murmur something un-
ineligible to him, and light another
match and then a bunch of waste,
which burned freely. At length she
seemed to have found what she sought
and retired outside by the same win
dow. He sWOre that it was Miss Ford.
After she had gone he took a dark
lantern and searched in the place
where she had been for any traces of
fire, but found none. He then re-
turned to his cot in the corner and
went to sleep at once. He was aWsk-
ened in short time by the smell of fire
and found that the flames had almost
reached him, and that he was nearly
cut off from retreat. He got outside
the best way he could and found the
engine already there at work.
Then Calvin commenced his cross
examination of the witness, by which
it appeared that Mr.. Williams had
drank several "good sized drains"
that evening, to use his own words;
that he was not very clear-eyed after
night; that he had seen Miss Ford but
three or four times in all; that he had
never seen her at night before; that
after all, he could not positively swear
that it might not be some other woman;
that when she came in the mill it was
just "cleVerly dark" a little after 3
o'clock, he supposed, and that he was
sure there was no trace of the fire Miss
Ford had kindled when he had in.
spected the place.
Mr.. Trumbull, however, turned the
tables neatly on the defense. The in
ebriate condition of the wstchmsn he
made account for his imperfect ex-
animation Of the floor and for his
stupid sleep while the fire Miss Ford
had kindled was gaining way. Mr..
Calvin then presented a copy of the
village paper and offered it in evidence.
The account of the fire gave 9:15 p. m.
as the time when the alarm was turned
in to the fire department. In his brief
plea he made much of the improbable
ity that the fire could have smouldered
for ;oyer four hours in as inAsmable
an ediice as a cotton mill without dis
covery.
Upon suggestion of her counsel,
Nettie was permitted to speak in her
own behalf. She told the story of her
search for the missing pin and its re-
covery. She had remained in the mill
few moments to be sure that no fire
remained and had then gone as she
came. 1t was striking six when she
reached home. cit" meant her clock.
She had set it the day before by the
clock on the mill tower. She had not
looked when she went to the mill-did
not know the time. Did not know how
long she was there, but not long.
Asked why she had arranged the win
dow so as to enter when the mill was
locked, she said that once before she
had occasion to enter, and had fixed
the window in the day. Gan assigns-
tionP" insultingly asked Mr.. Trumbull.
Nettie met the cruel question cody.

The following explains itself:
Plymouth Church, Syracuse, NJ,
Dec. 5th, 1894.
Rev. Thomas S.Samson, oec'y, etc.
My dear Brother:-I very gladly COM
ply with your request to SEM lew Wofus
about the CHRISTIAN Workers CONVENTION
in our city which closed on the 2'tn UT.
l rejoice that Portland is to nave SINH
lar blessing to cur own. There IS only
one word on the lips of all who attended
the meetings here that they were unlike
any others and were GOOD, ana only
good. Those who have not made them
selves familiar with the Christian Work
ers Association during the Few years OF
its history will find it hard to compre-
bend just what it means. They must
know that it is not like anything else
in Christendom. No business to trans
act, no time for reports OF past work,
no officers to elect, no formalltles 60 OBJ
serve. Nothing but company OF earn
est, devoted and successful workers, right
from their fields of service, telling what
the Lord has led them to do for Himself
and then answering questions such as
are prompted by hearers. Prayer and
song going on all the while and hitting
all up to high plane. The meetings
are like those for the promotion of hell
ness, so far as the spiritual tone is con
cerned, but unlike such meetings, where
attention is turned to inner experiences,
the conven tion holds you down to work in
the poor lost world, just where we live
every day. II we are on the mount OF
TRANSPORTATION for few moments seeing
the glory OF Christ. We have to be down
at the foot of the mountain where there
are devils to cast out the next moment.
Some persons imagined that the speak
ers did nothing but conduct these con-
ventions. In fact. however, they drop
their work for a few days to stir up the
churches to more falkland trust and SIM
pie obedience.
We are expecting direct and permanent
results IN our city from the six days
meetings. There are signs of some new
lines of work being taken up for the
neglected or forgotten. 1t is Of great
Importance for those who can SO order
thei r time to bein, attendance from the
first hour to the last, including the
morning devotional hour which was
delightful with us. The convention cen.
tiers in Christ and not in great names
and one is as likely to be awakened anc
stirred and instructed at one hour as al
another. Every service goes ofspromptly
by the watch, and there are no dull
moments.
can hardly imagine a greater benefit
to city than the coming of this eonven
ton. Let Portland give 1t grand wei
come to churches and homes, and they
will soon be assured that the Kingdom
of God has come nigh unto it.

Fair is the star-eyed daisy,

Mother of noble men!
Out of the pine tree forests

We have given our hearts best tire assures
For liberty's precious life,

And because they died we can send a gift

Not with the martial drum
Do we bring this gift. but with blessings,
and with songs Of peace We come,
Over the hills and valleys.

We bring our pledge of loyalty
To thee, and the State of Maine.

We bring our native pine,
And we swear by the faith we owe thee,
And the help of the hand dlylne.
Love that is strong and fervent,
Love that is sweet and pure,
Growing, forever growing.
