he must consider The civil govern
ment of the university had HE'D itself

cessfully lodged the perpendicular
river extending from the roof TO the
inkstand, had taken seats on the front
row. There must be some kind of a.
performance for their edification, and
the prosecutor could not, try as he did,

grinning broadly.
The court moved uneasily. When

The third man who was to appear
was Robert Ramsay. the aged inmate
of the county infrmary, who was

could not come into court.
The class sat still. notwithstanding
