heaved his lean body to a sitting posture,
and scrutinized the eleven recumbent fig
ures in the dim jury room Slipping
into the coat that had done duty as
a pillow, he tiptoed to the window,
cautiously opened it and then climbed
out.
Through the branches of the elms in
the courthouse yard, pale fragment of
a once golden and rotund moon acCentu-
ated the temporary creases on Moses
freckled and meditative brow. as he stole
stealthily across the deserted street, along
an alley and into a vacant lot. The two
horses browsing leisurely at the ends OF
long tethers cooked their ears inquiringly
as Nose approached the gorgeous, COW
cred wagon and called softly:
'Ikel Ike DObson! Get upl It's
Nose Phillips!"
A hook-nosed keen-eyed countenance
appeared between the drawn curtains.
Nose, old boyl" the face exclaimed.
Come right in. Haven't seen you for
five years; not since we used to work

Been here ever since-drug store"
Nose interrupted hurriedly. No time
to talk old times now. Say. Ike. you
still working all the old grafts?'
The head nodded vigorously. And
several new ones, Nose. Why?"
Ike, I'm on fool jury over here,
that wants to send young fellow to
the pen for assault with intent. It's
wrong Fact is, the other fellow started
the row: but the boy can't prove it

BILE, and he's got mighty nice old
mother-and all that. Understand,
Ike?"
Sure But where do /"

about sharply, and whispered rapidly
into an attentive ear, while the head
nodded energetically, and a voluminous
tenance as it disappeared within the
wagon.
His brow now free of creaseS, young
Nose Phillips hurried along the alley,
across the street, under the elms and
through the window, and again contem-
plated the eleven sleepers. Presently he
stepped lightly to the cot nearest the
window, and shook the slumberer gently
until he sat up, gaunt. bald and be-
whiskered staring at Nose out of blinking
and inquisitive eyes.
Il think Mr. Clamp. that we now can
agree on verdict" said Nose.
Comm over to us eleven, after all
eh?" growled Clamp. Its mighty nigh
time. You've kept us cooped up in
here more'n fifteen hours by your blamed
Stubbornness.
We'll, 1 can't say that I'm coming

Clamps lower lip shot out aggres-
sively Then what in thunder d YOU
wake me up for? Think We'll go over
to you? Bound to hang this jury you
are; want to keep us here over another
night, and put tn county to tn expense
of another trial. Nose Phillips, | do
reckon you're tn contrairiest fool that
ever poked his nose into a jury room.
New-York tribune., 1905-01-29

Nose drew a chair 70 the table. read
carefully the two unsigned forms of yer
dict prepared by the judge. and dipped
a rusty pen into the ink. When he looked
up, eleven faces were grinning in his
direction.
Now. Mr. Clamp" said Nose. "to
prevent any little misunderstanding

I'll hold them, and when this ques-
tons decided I'll destroy the one

All, thank you-that's all right Mr.

AS the twelve gathered, silent and
tense, at the open window. the faintest
blush of red and pink began to tinge the
eastern sky; a breeze rustled the leaves
of the clustering elms; overhead, the
| court house clock changed noisily. Clamp
closed his watch with an ostentatious
snap, and obtruded his neither lip toward
young Nose. who nonchalantly tossed a
piece of paper from the window and
yawned lazily

Clamps observation was cut short by

stare into ten blank faces: the scream Of

C1amorouS and tumultuOus, until the
air quivered and vibrated with the scold-
ing of the pugnaciOus feathered dis
putants And when the philippics had
ceased, the joyous, throbbing carol of a
robin arose from among the distant trees
and filed the shadowy room with waves
of melody.
"Oh, you can grin, Nose PhillipsI"
sputtered Clamp; but that's tn first
