the likelihood of having a suit brought

At the trial, which was held last
evening, and which took several hours
t. dispose of, Riley proved to the jury
that he was not the man who had

the guilty man wore light overcoat,
while Riley introduced witnesses TO

was not the man who ought to have

he was entranced, and Margaret
knew it.
Even when they left the theater and
drove back to the hotel, he was silent
and she was the first to speak. Mar
garet hated the noise and confusion
of the restaurant near the Festival
theater.

She liked the reply for its simplici

he would summon up his most pic
turesque language to tell her how
much pleasure the music had given
him, or that he would perhaps laugh
at himself for having been moved
but instead, he only told her that he
did not understand what he had felt;
and they walked on without another
word
Go and get something to eat" she
said when they reached the hotel
"and I'll meet you here in half an
hour. l don't core to talk either"
He only nodded, and lifted his hat
as she went up the steps: but instead
of going to eat. he sat down on q
bench outside, and waited for her
there. rejecting on the nature of his
new experience.
Like most successful men, he looked
on all theories as trash, good enough
to amuse clever idlers, but never tc
be taken into consideration in real
life. He never asked about the prin
ciple on which any invention was
founded; his first and only question
was: will it work."
Considering himself as the raw ma
terial, and the theater he had jus,
left as the mill, he was forced TO ad
nit that "Parsifal" worked"
Presently Margaret came out of the
hotel. expecting to find him waiting
for her within the hall. and prepared
TO be annoyed with him for taking SC
long over a meal. She stood on the
step and looked about. and saw him
sitting on the bench at n little dis

towards him and then rose quickly.
