Monday morning about eleven o'clock
Ratclif hustled into the Jail, making
| jovial remarks to the keepers wife
about her bad cooking killing the pris-
oners, and went up 10 Ronald.

he told our hero. as he came in. "All

Ronald asked him II the hour for the
trial had been set.
You bet II has, grinned RatclifY. as
he took fresh chew OF tobacco and
thrust the remainder OF the plug back
into his coat pocket. "They tried their
level best to stave it off. but told EN-

Ronald fixed the sheriff with keen
glance.
"Don't you think that the trial will
90 against me?" he questioned.
Ratcilff seemed slightly taken aback
by the pointed query. He hesitated for
n moment. and then he answered eva
sively:

Ronald had another question ready

gray strenks in .he east--was like the
sight o. land toa starving. shipwrecked
man. and yet when the sun was up it's
geIial rays failed TO disperse the shad-
owt IN his heart; he found that II ached
as web by day as by night.
After breakfast Mr.. Redding called
to see him. a

exclaimed. In a CHEEKY voice, as the iron
door clauged to after him. "The sher-

turned Ronald,
Rcdding tboughifully pinched his
nose between his thumb and forefinger.
"l,ateliif told me the particulars" he
said, frowning little. "There is no use
cryin' over split milk--or split blood,
either. This ease VIII give you chance
TO practice little on your own hook.
The main thing IS 20 keep stiff upper
lip and take cheerful view"
II am afraid take detected view Of
IT," said Ronald. "You will find me a
hopeless sort OF client, feel so awfulIy
knocked out over taking human life
that even the prospect Of being publicly
Justified does not brighten my hor-
izon."
~ can sympathize with you. my boy"
the voice OF the lawyer softened and
he pinched bis nose agaiu. II once told
you--or rather hinted at great sor-
row in my life--a big drawback TO my
energies. WE'LL" Redding broke on and
waved his hand, as he sometime did
when expression failed him.
