because went about It With lie In
my mouth. / hope God II forgive me
for the falsehood, though 1t was told liz
a good cause. But we found out one
thing by going there. and that Is that
there is something wrong about those
clothes. You saw how the fellow acted
when he came back from the door with
them? Well, to my mind, he wasn't
angry. He was just scared. Now.
Why? And why did he lie about selling
the clothes? IL there was only some
way of proving that he sold the clothes.
1t might be possible to brighten him
into telling the truth"
why" said Mrs. Lawson, there are
the tags. VIII saved every one of
them, thinking he might want to
change the clothes or something. We
can send horne and get the tags.
They've got the stores private marks
on them"
We sent for the tags that night, and
by the time they reached us we'd done
q lot of running around, but we were
all ready for the clothing dealer.
Well, things were all fixed at last,
and Lawyer Clapp got policeman In
plain clothes to go along with us. We
left the policeman outside and marched
into the store bold as brass. The pro-
prietor didn't recognize us at first,
guess, and came forward to wait on
us. though there wasn't thing In his
store I'd "a bought at quarter of the
price he asked for 1t. How VIII ever
came to trade In such place Is be-
yond my comprehension. Before l
said word l picked up n coat that
was lying on the counter and looked
at the marks on the tag sewed at the
back Of the collar. They were the
same as the marks on the tags | had In
my pocket.
When the man saw who / was, he
began to seem mad again, but | saw
him trembling.
You take your old clothes and go
away" he said. 81 don't want you
here. ! never saw the clothes before,
and l told you so once"
Nov, you keep your temper" said.

confidence In Wills word. 1t didn't
seem to me thot he would lie himself
right into dishonored grave.
One day just before the time set for
the trial Mrs Lawson came over to my
house and sat there grievlng and cry
Ing over the plight poor Will was In
Until my heart ALMOST broke at the
sight of her misery. Finally told her
that was going to tie city the next
day, though had never thought of 1t
before, and that | meant to stay there
until | found out all about that ticket
and how 1t got into the pocket Of the
boys new pantaloons.
I'm not going to sit here with fold
ed hands," | said, land see Will
hanged, and that's the end of it. You
may go with me II you want to, but
want you to remember that I'm to COM
mand the expedition and do whatever
! see fit to do"
| think my positive way cheered her
up little. She went with me, and we
saw the poor boy sitting alone and dis
consulate in his cell Such a crying
time as we had over him! He told us
where he had bought the clothes, and
we found the store and looked 1t over,
pretending to want to buy something.
1t was a little bit Of place In dirty
part Of the city, with low, smoky
ceiling all covered with fly specks and
n chilly atmosphere. 1t was dark In
there too, though it was bright win
ter day, and there was smell Of dye
stuffs about the frosty interior that
most turned my stomach.
