He held himself rigidly until till she
had disappeared round the end of the
deckhouse. Then he bent over and
buried his face in his hands.
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious of no sound.
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
about him in amazement. 1t had grown
quite dark. It must be two or three
hours since Jeanne had left the chair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound of his
voice. There was no sign that any
sentient thing, except his very self.
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather dificult 10

to supplement his one good foot, he
succeeded in creeping down them. and
then in making his way along the cor
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder, and finally cried out her name
again, this time in genuine alarm. He
tried the door. found that 1t was not
locked, and opening 1t and switching
on light, perceived that the state
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No. that could not be

He closed the door behind him.
Then he limped slowly down the cor

ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.

was no time even for cry. He had

 Sharp met Bowers when he returned to Lowell and together they went to saloon and left the rife. The owner of this saloon testified that he had never before seen Bowers, and Bow CTS stated that he had never taken a drink there, but Bowers denied, when asked directly by the assistant district attorney, that he was an accessory before the fact, saying that he did not know that Sharp had shot Sutton. He knew that Sutton had been hurt and he assisted in trying to get a doc tor, but he did not ask Sharp about Sutton's injury.
 Pressed for circumstances of the times that Mrs. Sharp had gone to Sutton's house, Bowers named June 5. 1910, saying taat he remembered the date because he put it down in a note book and because Mrs. Sharp had asked him to keep her little girl while she went to Suttons house.
 Do you keep diary?" asked the assistant district attorney.
 No" replied the witness.
 Did you put it down in your note book because it might have any es- pecial significance" the attorney asked.
 No" replied the witness.

 Bowers denied that he had told Sharp all that the latter testified that Bowers told him.
 Had your daughter been with you since before June 5, 1910?" Attorney Murray asked.
 'No," replied Sutton. She came on July 2
