Samma7co had the same trouble as
did Boncj. for everybody said his voice
was lovely, but never large enough for
the stage. This is really ridiculous
now, and his voice is as powerful as
IL Is beautiful. Ho thinks the reason
for the universal opinion was that hc
hardly ever had enough to eat while
he was studying. Even his best teacher,
u splendid musician Of Palermo. told
him he could never do more than sing
in drawing rooms, but with a little
good food the voice began to expand
and he became the Sammarco we know
today. He married young. and though
his wife helped Loyalty, things looked

small, so small that the San Carlo opera
IN Naples would not engage him, on
the ground that he could not fill the

partnership with the thief Prendergast.
The two had finally Guarreled, and
Prendergast had moved to town.
Subsequent to this the latter had
been heard to make dark insinuations,
unnoted ut the time, but since grown
significant, limiting at criminal knowl-
edge Of the prisoner The close of this
chapter had been prendergast's dismal
end in the gulch when he had produced
the scrap of paper which was the crux
Moreau dying; that the latter had
traced with his own hand the accusa-
ton which fastened the crime upon
Hugh Stires.
In his cross examination Fielder
fought gamely to tighten the weight Of
the evidence. All rested. he said, upon
single scrap of paper, a fragment of
handwriting in no way difficult of imi-
tation, and this III turn upon the allie
cation of q thief, struck down in an act
of crime, whose word in an ordinary
'ase of fact would not be worth a
i7rthing. No motive had been alleged
for the killing of AIoreau by the pris-
oner, but Prendergast had had motive
enough in his accusation. 1t had been
open knowledge that he hated Hugh
Stires, and his own character made it
evident that he would not have scru-
pied to fasten murder upon him.
But as Fielder studied the twelve
grave faces in the jury box, who in
the last analysis were all that counted,
he. shared his clients hopelessness
Judgment and experience told him how
futile We're all theories in the face of
that inarticulate but damning witness
that Prendergast had left behind him.
So the afternoon dragged through, a
day for the state.
Sunset came early at that season
Dark fell, and the electric bulbs made
their mimic day, but no one left the
room. The outcome seemed fore
gone conclusion. The jurymen no
longer gazed at the prisoner and when
they looked ut one another 1t was with
grim understanding. AS the last wit
ness for the state stepped down and
the prosecutor rested the judge glanced
ut the clock.
"There is bare half hour" he said
tentatively. Perhaps the defense
would prefer not to open testimony till
tomorrow"
Fielder had risen. He saw his oppor-
tunity-to bring out sharply contrast
ing point in the prisoners favor, the
one circumstance, considered apart
pointing toward innocence rather than
guilt; tc leave this for the jury to take
with then, to offset by Its effect the
weight of the evidence that had been
given.

pleases," he said and arid rustic Of
