That she could stand and face that
lady never SO much as occurred to her.
Her own guilty consciousness made
her cheeks too hot for her to wish to
meet an eye which had never rested
on her any too kindly; so noticing how
straight the curtains fell over one OF
the windows on the opposite side of
the room, she dashed toward it and
slipped in out of sight just as Miss
futile came in. This window was one
seldom used, owing to the fact that it
overlooked an adjoining wall, so she
had no fear of Miss futile approach
Ing it. Consequently, she could stand
there quite at her ease, and, as the
curtains in falling behind her had not
come quite together, she really could
not help seeing what that lady did.
Here the witness paused with every
appearance of looking for some token
Of disapprobation from the crowd.
But she encountered nothing there
but eager anxiety for her to proceed,
SO without waiting for the coroner's
question, she added in so many words:
'She went first to the bookshelves."
We had expected it; but yet a gen
eral movement took place. and few
suppressed EXPLANATIONS could be
heard.
''And what did she do there?'
sTook down book, after looking
carefully up and down the shelves"
''What color of book?"
"a green one with red figures on it.
I could see the cover plainly as she
took it down"
Like this one?"
Exactly like that one"
"And what did she do with this
book?'
"Opened it, but not to read it. She
was too quick in closing it for that"

"'Did you see whether she put any

excitement, but the coroner, frowning

plea of forgetfulness when the coro.
