Il was pitch dark when he awoke.
The sound of breathing came to
his ears. He sat up. Els hands
were free. 1t had not been a
dream. She was lying over there
asleep. The candle had burnt itself
out; that was all. he crept softly
across the floor. In the darkness he
found her and touched the garments
she wore-and drew back enthralled.
Afraid to move for fear of disturb
ing her, he sat quietly for an hour or
more All this time his brain was
working like mad in the new found de-
sire to perform miracles for the sake
of this lovely, unattainable creature.
He was forgetting the prince, the hor-
rors Of the Goth; he was thinking only
Of saving this girl from the fate that
Marlanx had in store for her. Vos
Engo may have had the promise, but
what could it profit him If Marlanx
had the girl?
Footsteps in the outer room recalled
him to the bitter reality Of their posi-
ton. He awoke her and whispered
words Of encouragement into her be-
wildered ears. Then he put on his coat
and threw himself on the floor, first
wrapping the rope about his wrists to
deceive the guard.

at New Albany, May 1888. From

The contest brought by James p.

The appellate court granted the re-

thus assured him his job as a super

the process of reasoning enunciated by
Attorney John P Allen, who repre-

the hearing was essential to give the

of O'Dowd and his attorney was full
evidence that they were aware of the
calling of the case.
Arguments on the writ were pre-
