My answer created some surprise, and
all eyes were turned upon Mr.. Morley.
Such were that gentleman's position
and standing that the mere fact that I
had visited at his house produced
change in the manner of questioning
me. The questions were couched in
more respectful terms.

1t is necessary"
Here Mr.. Morley. who had been only
a listener until now, spoke in his grave,
dignified manner, and the deferential
way the trustees hearkened to his
words was an indication Of the high
regard in which he was beld.
"We are wasting time" he said.
"This method of procedure is futile.

Mr.. Morley only stated the cold fact,

There is no need to tell of the exam

but the truth.
When the trustees meeting broke up
, the president came out to me.
"Nelson, if you are guilty, and wish to

to flee the country. The trustees have
decided not to have you arrested just

: .'They are very kind, sir. But wish

] me better than to stand trial." replied
defiantly.
Mr.. Morley came through the room as

glance at me. Whether it indicated
disgust at what he might consider
bravado, or commentator at my dar

Here some members of the examining
committee came hurriedly in. what is

"Whom do you suspect?" These were
some of the ordinations that reached
my ear as they crowded around the

what she would think of it all. After
my happiness of the evening before, to
be crushed under such blow of fate
was most cruel. But resolved not to be
crushed. There came to me kind of

resolve, and when, after awhile, I was
summoned before the trustees, it nerved
