When Robert stepped down from the

more than one black hand was thrust

speech had made profound impress
sion on the men. Many of them did
not understand the meaning Of certain
sentences, but the spirit OF the man
was unmistakable, and the men re-
sponded in a manner that touched Mr..
Hardy very strongly.
He finally went into his Office. The
big engine started up again. and the
whir and dust and clangor of the shops
went on. But men bent over their
work there in the gathering dusk OF
the winter day who felt a new heart
throb at the recollection Of the pale
face and sincere word Of the man who
had broken selfish silence of quar-.
ter of n century to call them brothers.
Oh. Robert Hardy, what glorious op-
portunities you missed to love and be
loved! With all your wealth you have
been very poor man all your life I'M
til now. on the next to the last day
Of II!
There is little need to describe the
rest of this day. Robert went home
Every one greeted him tenderly. His
first inquiry was for Clara. Still In
that trancelike sleep. Would she new.
er wake? The wife shuddered with
fear. Mrs. Hardy had spent much of
the time In prayer and tears. The
evening sped by without special incl.
dent.
James Caxton came and Joined the
family circle. His presence reminded
Mr.. Hardy Of the old quarrel with the
young mans father. He spoke to
James and said IL anything should pre-.
vent his seeing his father the next
day James might tell his father how
completely and sincerely he wished the
foolish quarrel forgotten and his own
Ihare in II forgiven.
So that day came to close in fami.
ly conference. In tears. In fear and
hope and anxiety and prayer. But
Mrs. Hardy would not. lose all hope.
1t did not seem to her possible that her
husband could be called away the next
night.

THE CHISHOLM TRIAL.
Witnesses Examined In Behalf of the
Prosecution.

The plan of the Government in the CHS
holm court-martial lasf night seemed to
be to prove the infallibility of the clerks
in the office of the Adjutant General of the
District militia. iand to show that such a
thing as their failure to send out an or
der when directed to issue it was an uttes
impossibility.
The plan was dismal failure, for the
first witness of the defence testified that
he had received an official envelope from
the headquarters of the District militia and
that there was nothing inside 1t. This
was on January %. and the attempt of the
Government to show that this envelope
may have been one sent at the instigation
of the defence failed. for it's receipt by the
witness was thirteen days prior to the
preferring of the charges and the order
ing of the court-martial.
The other witnesses examined were
Lieut.. Thomas McAnally. Lieut. Harry +.
Patterson and Lieut. Harry DE Groot act
ing adjutant of TIE First Regiment Tnc
entire testimony was on the lines Of proof
that the questioned order was known to
Captain Chisholm.
At l0:50 the court adjourned until Mon
day evening al o'clock. at which time
Captain ChisholIa will be put upon the
stand in his own behalf. aud some inter-
esting developments are looked for.

soldiers were probably wounded many
miles from MARTHA and carried over the

that the Missouri was at least thirty days
