Mr.. Bowser had boxed himself up in
his excitement. He had taken an oath
as big as house that he'd never let
Mrs Bowser know Of his loss. He had
blurted out the fact, however, and now
felt that he was gone, but all of a sud

found SO comical in poor Hennessv's
case as he stated it. Unfortunately for
my sobriety of demeanor l had heard
the Senator talk about some of his
most notorious clients before. 1t is a
solemn fact that he never rescued q
man from the shadow of the gallows
who was not either the victim Of a
gross conspiracy or sufferer of other's
sins or noble being overcome by adj
verse circumstances. And the beauty
of it all is that the Senator firmly be-
lieves this. If you want a pathetic
proof of his sincerity, you may find it
in his bank account. He is poor man
to-day, but he might have been a
millionaire if he had not all his life
stood ready to travel from Maine 10
Texas to defend any friendless criminal.
