(Which of the two hung foremost?"
81 didn't notice"
"You took both?"
Eyes, / took both"
"And went straight out with them?"
Eyes, to the stable"
"And then where?"
Through the adjoining grounds
downtown"
"You are sure you went through Mr.
Fulton's grounds at this early hour in
the EVENING""
II am positive"
"Was it not at later hour, much
later, little before IL instead of a
little before az
''No, sir. / was on the golf links
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 it 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 kitchen?'
NO; said that only had one when
/ got to Cuthbert road. 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 1t out Of one of our waste bar
rels'' r.@
''This is the part of bottle referred
to. Do you recognize the label still ad-
herring to it as similar to the one to be
found on the bottle you emptied in
Cuthbert roadr'
''It 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
"Only possibly"
sit would have looked the same;
cannot deny 1T. What's the use fool
ing?.
"Mr Cumberland, the only two bot.
ties known to contain tnis 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."
81 cannot say"
'This barrel stood where's"
elm the passage behind the stable"
'The passage you pass through on
your way to the door leading into your
neighbours grounds?"
Yea
The dreaded moment had come. This
yes had no sooner left Arthur's
lips than ! saw Ella throw out her in
nocent arms and leap. impetuously to
her feet with a loud, "No, no, 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 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 Carmel's 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 a 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 witness in this building who
cun testify more clearly and definitely
than Miss Fulton that Arthur Cumber-
land, for all we have heard in seeming
contradiction to the same. might have
been on the golf links at the time he
swears to. That witness il myself.
