Richard Soule sat modify staring be-
fore him in the room at the hotel where
we first made his acquaintance

dead. They can't drag a word out Of

for two years, and her faculties might
give way and so make her dangerous. If

gaoomily scraped some dried mud from
his boot heel with his pocket knife. He
had the latent superstition ingrained in
him by constant association with Delilah
through all his childhood; she was a de-
yout believer in the African v~oo-dooism,
having been brought from the Gold Coast
in her b~abyhood. No after amount Of ed,
u~cation and enlightenment could any
more than cover over the surface Of the
strange teachings of a superstitious ne
gro, whose influence is little counterfeit

From his mothers death until he was
fourteen, when he was sent to school, De
Elah had sat by his bedside nightly un
til he fell asleep, and she related, wonder
fully well, stories Of old Africa, whicl
she had imbibed from her mother ant

ever, not lost sight of him since Clinkei
had placed a large sum of money in his
hands and told him to keep him IN sight
which he had in various remarkably elev
err ways, that, as this is not a story Of
"0ld Sleuth,' - it is not necessary to de
tail.
The man, however, was of medium
height, very strong, with ~infantile eyes:
and hair, and moustache, and skin all
white; he looked the most harmless and
cherubic of men; his manner was genial
and he never seemed to have a thought
of care; he sang tender ballads perpet'
ually.
He was at present singing "Annie
Rooney as his tender blue eyes never
left Richard.
Stanley saw them get into the same
street car; he followed them after he had
an interview with Gerald,

he said when they were left alone in his
cell. "Why didn't you9"
"I know it is hard to wait; it is a
fearful trial, just to wait, but there are
two things to wait for-one to catch Rich
i ard, and the other for interest in you to
cease. There is ten per cent every month
added to chances of acquittal if a man be
kept quiet and forgotten; the public gets
tired of waiting and takes up new sen
sations and when the anticipated trial
does occur, it is a thing that is past; in
terest will revive emily systematically and
very briefly, and the narrowing circum'
stances are forgotten or overlaid with
others which, if not more narrowing, are
fresher. If your trial were delayed a
year, it would attract almost no atten'
tion."

Ties over the lives of men. which like glad

Gerald Soule walked to the prisoners
dock, his proud head held high, his
naughty glance sweeping the crowd.
A ripple of compassion from the many
women present was the tribute to his
beauty. Very incongruous was his look OF
u~nbending pride with the convict $ clothes
he wore.
After three hours of skirmishing and
delays of various kinds, Stanley rose to
speak. He prayed the continuance of the
case until the next term Of court for
want of material testimony, yet to be OBJ
tanned.
A Disappearing murmur rose; the
crowd was cheated of its spectacle; there
was to be no contest IN the arena; thls
splendid victim was not to be thrown to
the beasts, at least not for a time.
"And his beautiful wife is not here;

Nero At The Bijou,

The Biioiu theatre this afternoon
and evening will exhibit for the see
ond time this week feature picture,
the subject being historical very
spectacular and sensational in its
climax. The title Emperor Nero
brings Immediately to the mind the
burning of Rome by the despot as a
retaiiatory measure taken against his
subjects in revolt against his cruelty
and perfidy.
The picture is from the studio of
Amhrosio, the worlds greatest and
most artistic film manufacturer.
Nero is divided into thirteen scenes
and covers a Roman period from the
time Of the emperor's meeting with
Poppea up to his death. 1t is said to
be very realistic and thrilling. This
class Of pictures is entertaining anil
educational and far preferable to tho
