A Courthouse in Country Town-A
Judge Summing Up.

x The history of the case,
then, gentlemen, is as follows: Mr.,
John Conroy. an elderly gentleman,
lived at a house known as the Towers,
Mt Barminster, a small seaside resort
seven miles from here. Close by him
lived his nephew, Arthur Nereker, a bar
rister, who, like many another mem
Der of the bar, had. in the absence of
briefs, turned his attention to litera-
1ure, by which means he earned slen-
der income. Yet, poor as Arthur was,
he had somewhat large expectations
from his Uncle Conroy, who, it was well
known, had made his will in the young
mans favor. Uncle and nephew APP
pear to have been on friendly, though
not on such cordial terms as one might
expect would have been the case be
tween such near relations One point OF
disagreement undoubtedly existed, and
led to some enlargement between the
two-namely: with respect to certain

plated making, and of WHICH NeEeker
strongly disapproved. You have had
Mr.. Conroy's stockbroller before you,
and he has shown you that, had the
speculatious. in question been persisted
in, they would have ended disastrously
Nov, imprudent as you may con-
slider such a step to have been in the case
of a man of means so limited as Mr..
Vereker's, he had nevertheless engaged
himself to be married to young lady
named Rose Manners. And it was this
projected marriage which made him
doubly anxious that the legacy which he
had good grounds for thinking one day
not be squandered away in hazardous
ventures. Miss Manners, as you re-
member, lived with an invalid father
at cottage residence about mile and
a half from Barminster. The little
house was situated some 200 or 800 yards
from the steep cliffs which, having their
rise in the town of Barminster, ascend
rapidly from there and extend several
miles along the coast.
ION the Sd of March last, at as near
three o'clock as it has been possible to
determine, Arthur Nereker and his
uncle start from the Towers. The uncle
is going, as is his almost daily Gus
tom, for stretch along the cliffs, and
his nephew is bent on visit to his in

One of the most important industries
of the world is manufacturing a prod
net which, if taken singly, may be said
TO be without value. No person would
hesitate to ask a stranger for one of
them, and nobody thinks of offering
for the favor anything but thanks in re-
turn. Yet the industry is one of the
comparatively few which are of such
magnitude as to lead to the organiza-
ton of that unpopular combination
known as trust" The shares in this
trust have recently sold at a large pre-
mium, Notwithstanding the fact that its
affairs a little while ago were in a
condition that produced panic in one
of the greatest American financial CEN
tiers. The explanation of these seeming
paradoXes is that, however hard the
times, few people can think of econo-

in some hot dispute, though from the
distance which separated him from
them he could not catch what they were
saying.
''Nerelter had told Miss Manners that
he hoped to call on her at about half
past three that same day. When the
time of the expected visit, therefore,
was drawing near, instead of waiting
for her lover at her house, she went TO
meet him. She left the cottage at a
little before the half hour and walked
to spot on the cliffs, anticipating
seeing N&reker coming towards her
from the town. From where she stood

Then they were silent again for some
minutes.
| After little while the wife rose,
walked to the French windows, pushed
back the blind and looked out across
the hills. Arthur also rose, crossed over
TO the mantelpiece, looked at his wife
for a moment, took up pipe, half filled
it, then put it down again. Rose, who
had seen him do this, said:

'Sit down on that chair again, then,

in low. cooling voice: Il wonder if it
would ever be possible to be as happy

"Why not, Rose? Why not?"

that of the Queen q Crescent in the January
