Bartelmy raised his hand deprecat-

breath and went resolutely on. He
spoke to both the girl and the judge.
Judith, if at the cost Of my life l
could spare you this grief l would do
it gladly. But even that would do no

cried, raising his eyes to meet those OF
Judith's father.
Bartelmy saw that he had played
his last card. 1t was his highest
trump, but it had failed to win. What
Judith could not do he surely, under
the existing circumstances, could not
do. Nolan, the only man who could
save him if he would, had gone, he
knew not where.
And it was now press time. All was
over. Bartelmy took single step to-
ward his daughter.
