$50 that you went straight outT
"Yes, as quickly as | could"
The district attorney paused TO be
Eure Of the attention Of the jury
When he saw that every eye Of that
how thoroughly aroused body was on
him he proceeded to ask: Does that
mean Immediately or rs soon as you
could after you had made certain prep
ara tions or held certain talk with some
ene you called or who called to you?'
Il called to nobody. II went out
Immediately"
1t was evident that he lied; evident,
too, that he had little hope from his
lie. Uneasiness was taking the place
| Of confidence in his youthful, untried,
> nndisciplined mind. Carmel had spoken
to him in the hall guessed it then, |
I knew It afterward-and he thought to
deceive this court and blindfold jury
whose attention had been drawn to
this point by his own counsel.
Districs Attorney Fox smiled. "How,
then. did you get into the st&ble?'
The stable? Oh, had no trouble
in getting into the stable"

A slow flush broke over the prison
er's whole face. He saw where he had
been landed and took Il minute to pull
| himself together before he replied: Il

Eyes"
"When?" -.
''When + first came down"
"This is not in accordance with your
direct testimony. On the contrary, you
said that on coming downstairs you
went straight to the rack for your
overcoat. Stenographer, read what the
prisoner said on this topic"
A rustling Of leaves. distinctly to be
heard in the deathlike silence of the
room, was followed by the reading of
this reply and answer:
Yet you cannot say which of these
two overcoats you put on when you
left your home an hour or so after fin
ishing your dinner"
81 cannot was in no condition to
notice was bent on going into town.
and on coming downstairs | went
straight to the rack and pulled on the
first things that offered"
The prisoner stood immobile, but with
a deepening line gathering on his brow,
until the last word fell Then he said:
81 forgot. I went for the key before I
put on my overcoat. ! wanted to see
how the sick horse looked"
did YOU drop this key into your
pocket too?" ]
"No: carried it into the hall"
"WhAt did you do with it there?"
81 don't know. Put it on the table. I
suppose"
Don't you remember? There were /,
other KEYS lying on this table. Don't !
you remember what you did with the !
one in your hand while you took the .
key from the midst of Mr.. !
RanelaChs bunch?"
81 laid it on the table. must have

Laid it down by itself?"
"Yeq."
"And took it up when you went out?"
"Of course"
carrying it straight to the stable?"
Naturally"
"What did you DO with it when you
came outT
81 left il in the stable door"
"You did? What excuse have you to
give for that?"
"NOne. was reckless and didn't
are for anything-that's all"
yet you took several minutes, for all
our hurry and your indifference, to
ret the stable key and look in at a
.orse that wasn't sick enough to keep
our cOachman home from a dance"
The prisoner was silent,
"You have no further explanation
0 give on this subject"'
NO. All fellows who love horses
viii understand"
