CHAPTER VIII.

CHAPTER Will.
The assizes are going on, and the
county town is full of barristers and
attorneys; and all interest is centered
on the Portraven bank robbery case,
for the man to be tried is gentleman,
a member of one of the oldest families
in the county.
Mrs. Bouverie is staying in the same
hotel as the judge who Is to try her
son. She will stay near George to the
last; and Doctor Carter, fuming and
fussy, has taken up his quarters at
the Royal Arms too. He is beginning
to lose heart. The evidence is so dead
against George, and the great counsel
engaged can wiring nothing from the
silent lips of the prisoner. With sad,
stern face of George confronts him, but
refuses to speak-refuses to account
for the money that had been in his
possession that day. He will make no
defense whatever, beyond declaring his
innocence. His counsel is in despair.
Without doubt the jury will bring in a
verdict of guilty.
Worn out with great anxiety, Mrs.
Bouverie lies on sofa in a private
room of the hotel. In the garden be-
low the windows great bunches of Ii
lacs scent the air, and the light breeze
rustles the golden sprays Of laburnum;
but the mothers eyes see them not.
She can only think Of her boy within
the cold, gray walls of the Jail waiting
for his trial. sMr. Saville is in the town
too, with look of satisfaction on his
face; also Mr.. Grey, the cashier, who,
they say, has never recovered from the
shock of the assault on him. He starts
at every shadow, and looks a miser-
able, haun.ed individual.
In vain DR.. Carter tries to persuade
Mrs. Bouverie not to attend the trial.
1t will only be needlessly distressing,
he urges. And his inmost conviction
is that George will be found guilty.
Mrs. Bouverie is firm. 'My place is
beside my son." she says, struggling
for calmness.
So the warm spring days go by, with
the world flooded with sunshine, and
every field and tree in it's new dress of
vivid green, everything bright and
beautiful; only the stern, unhappy face
of the man awaiting trial, while moth
er prays to Him who pities this sor-
rowful signing of the prisoners, TAX
ing her trouble to the foot of the cross
and laying it there. Oh, the shame.
the misery, and the pity of it all!
And the day dawns for the trial OF
the bank robbery. DR.. Carter makes
one more desperate effort.
Mrs. Bouverie, you are not strong
enough to stand this. promise to send
you word every half-hour as the case
goes on. Besides, it would only dis
tress poor George to see you"
"Dr. Carter, you mean we'll, but
must go. I will be very brave" Mrs
Bouverie says, looking at the doctors
kindly face with eyes that are din
with tears and want of sleep.
"It will kill her. poor soul!" Dr.
Carter says, half aloud.
Crowds are flocking to the court
house. 1t is an exciting case. Th'
counsel retained for George is in tn
depths of despair. He cannot see tn
chance of an acquittal unless SOM
wonderful evidence turns up, which i
not likely, at the eleventh hour.
Mr.. Grey. the cashier, is prepared t
identify George Bouverie as the MAJ
who attacked and drugged him.
The case Is not very exciting afte
all. In vain Mr.. Jarvis cross-examine
