When the time came the young man
rose and plunged in boldly. The
Judge seemed interested and Chaunoey
took further courage. Bot at the
end Of an hour and . half. in the

his plea. he was panied TO see what
he thought WAS . lack Of attention
ON the part Of the court. 1t was just

unable TO appreciate the nioe points
Of his argument.
He paused, hesitated and then said !:
