then"
"But some one drove into the stable"
$50 you say"
Embarrassed the horse, drew up the
cutter, locked the stable door and, en-
tering the house, hung up the key
where 1t belonged"
No answer this time.
"Mr. Cumberland, you admitted in
your direct examination that you took
with you out of the clubhouse only
one bottle of the especial brand you
favored, although you carried up two
into the kitchenT"
mo; L said that l only had Il when
I got to Cuthbert road. 1 don't remem
Der anything about the other"
but you know where the other-or,
rather, remnants Of the other-was
found?"
I'm my own stable, taken there by
my man Zadok Brown, who says he
picked it out Of one Of our waste bar
rels."
'This is the part of bottle referred
to. Do you recognize the label still ad-
herring to it as similar to the nj to be
found on the bottle you emptied In
Cuthbert roadf"
at is like that one"
Had you carried that other bottle
off, and had it been broken as this has
been broken, would it not have pre-
scented an exactly similar appearance
to this?"
Possibly"
'pnly ~possiblyP
at would have looked the same; 1
cannot deny it. What's the use fool
ing?"
"Mr. Cumberland, the only two bot
ties known to contain this especial
brand of wine were in the clubhouse
at 10 o'clock that night. How came
one OF them to get into the barrel out
side your stable before your return the
next day"
az cannot say"
'"This barrel stood whereT'
ain the passage behind the stable"
yolr 4a yas - tne GG99oor p IsaGIhg INTO your
neighbours grounds"
Yes"
The dreaded moment had come. This
Yes" had no ooner left Arthur's
lips than I saw Ella throw out her In
nocent arms and leap i~mpetuously to
her feet with q loud, mo, no, l can
telr'-
She did not say what, for at the hub
bub reused by this outbreak in open
court she tainted dead away and was
carried out in her dismayed fathers
arms.
This necessarily caused a break in
the proceedings. Mr.. Fox suspended
his cross examination, and in a few
minutes more the judge adjourned the
court. AS l observed the satisfaction
with which Mr.. Moffat scented this
new witness-a satisfaction which
promised little consideration for her If
she ever came upon the stand-I sur
rendered to fate.
Inwardly committing Carmeps future
to the God who made her and who
knew better than we the story of her
life and what her fiery temper had cost
her, l drew q piece of paper from my
pocket and, while the courtroom was
slowly emptying, hastily addressed the
following lines to Mr.. Moffat, who had
fingered to have a few words with his
colleague:
There is a witness in this building who
can testify more clearly and definitely
than Miss Fulton that Arthur Cumhsr-
land, for all we have heard In seeming
been on the golf links at the time he
swears TO. That witness is myself.
ELWOOD RANELAGH.
l was ready to meet the surprised
lawyers look when his eye rose from
the words l had written and settled
steadily on my face. Next minute he
was writing busily, and in a second
later l was reading these words:
Do you absolutely wish to be recalled as
a witness, and by the defense2 NJ.
My answer was brief:
I do. Not to make a confession of crime.
I have no such confession to make. Blu
I know who drove that horse. R.
I had sacrificed Carmel to my sense
Of right. Never had l loved her as l
did at that moment.
A turning point had been reached in
the defense. That every n knew aft
er the first glance at Mr.. Moffat on the
opening of the next mornings session.
AS l noted the excitement which this
o~ccasloned even in quarters where self
control is usually most marked and
such emotions suppressed I marveled at
the subtle influence Of one mans ex-
pectancy and the powerful effect which
can be produced on a feyertsh crowd
by a well ordered silence suggestive of
coming action.
I, who knew the basis of this ex-
pectancy and the nature of the action
with which Mr.. Mofat anticipated
startling the court, was the quietest
person present. Since it was my hand
and none other which must give this
fresh turn to the wheel Of justice 1t
were well for me to do 1t calmly and
without any of the old maddening
throb of heart. But the time seemed
hong before Arthur was released from
further cross examination and the op-
portunlty given Mr., Moffat to call his
next witness.
Something In the attitude he now
took, something in the way he bent
owe his client and whispered a few
admonitory words, and, still more, the
emotion with which these words were
received and answered by some ex-
