Mrs. Geo. Fusselman jr. was in
a very critical condition last Sat
urday with a case Of confinement.
The child died during the opera
ton, and for a time it was feared
that the mother could not survive,
but we are glad to note that she is
recovering much more rapidly than
could have been anticipated. DR..
Stonebraker, and Dr.. Claggett of
Memo, were the attending physi-
clans, and both declare that this
was the most difficult case of the
kind that they ever experienced in
their long practice. Much credit
is due to the physicians that the
life of the mother as we'll rs the
child was not sacrificed.

CHAPTER xxII.-continued.


Much had been said regarding the
motives of his client, but Mr.. Stevens
contended they were manifestly as
great on the part of the defendant.
There was no doubt he had become
enamored with his brothers wife and
he had decided to possess her for
his own. He had repeatedly urged
marriage, but not until after the
Geath of Lenora. who had been muir
Gered to remove so dangerous wit
ness to his past. When he became
convinced that the workman called
Primus Edes was no other than the
true Vane Hamilton. there was but
one course open. He must renounce
his claims or remove the true owner.
He chose the latter. The shot was
either fired by his own hand or by his
emissary, Solomon Marks. who was
fit tool for any such emergency.
The Judge was very impressive in
his summary of the case. which he
said was different from any other on
record He not only reviewed the
evidence on both sides as usual. set
ting forth the claims of each and en-
planning corroborating and collateral
charges which would be made after
wards of forgery, perjury, and per-
haps murder, against the person who
sustained defeat. He solemnly charg-
ed them. therefore, to deliberate long
and wisely before deciding. that the
gravest conviction of duty and JUS
tice called upon the best and wisest
faculties of the human mind to aid
them in decision like this, upon
which rested such great and unusual
issues. 1t was not alone a question of
property, but of family and of life
and death. Therefore. let them delib-
crate well before deciding.
Two nights and a day passed be-
ore a decision was reached, and then
1t was in favor of the present incum-
bent of the Hamilton estates, who was
declared to be the true and legal own
er. Vane Hamilton; and an order for
the arrest of Henry Ashley, alias Pri-
mus Edes, was filed by the order OF
the Judge. upon the charge of forgery,
perjury and embezzlement.

stepped over box:
"Vane is going to the hotel. for he
will not keep Constance from her
home any longer. He is a noble fel-

Hamilton, who really believes that
YOU are not her husband. 1t is her
solemn conviction. and, it is cruelty
unjust to rank her with the many
unfaithful wives, some of whom
might make pretences such as have
been ascribed to her. You. surely.

Mrs. Hamilton is convinced that
YOU are her husbands brother, that
you have been led almost without
volition of your own to wicked
courses which are at variance with
your real nature. She thinks, with
different environments you would
have been different man"
What else does she say?" asked
Nj Hamilton. as the minister paused.
"She wished me to appeal to you
to give her back her happiness. She
