into view of late with quite the force and
appeal of Capt. Nicholas Radcliffe. Sum-
moned by the commander OF the British
frontier in India beset by a native fanatic
army, and certain to be overwhelmed be-

displays blithe spirit that never falters
throughout the troubled years that fol-
low, a gayety that might to some seem
mockery in the face of death, and yet
that bespeaks a steadiness Of purpose rare
among men. 1t was to this man that the
commander OF the British post intrusted
his daughter when it seemed assured that
disaster would befall. He carried the girl
safely through the greatest perils. He
loved her from the beginning. 1t was a
long and weary time before she learned
that she in turn loved him, and mean

In after years she could always recall
the vision of the courtroom, with Its
drabby background to a sea of ridiculous
faces.
For they all seemed ridiculous to her
all these people-in their obvious eager
agitation: they had pushed one another,
and jostled and fought their way into
this small, stuffy room. the elegant Ia
dies with their scent bottles. the men
about town with their silk hats and sill
ver-topped canes: they were all ready to
endure acute physical discomfort for the
sake of witnessing the narrowing sight Of
one of their own kind being pillOried be-
fore the mob: it was just a pinch OF spice
added to the savorless condiment OF every
day life. Then there were the others
those who had come just out OF idle
curiosity to hear a few unpleasant de-
tails, or to read few unWholesome pages
in the book of life of people who lived in
different world to their own.
Ridiculous they seemed. all of them!
Louisa felt a sudden desire to laugh
aloud. as she realized how very like a
theater the place was. with it's boxes, it's
stalls and its galleries. But in this case
those who usually sat in stalls or boxes
displaying starched shirt fronts. bare
shoulders and bad manners, they were
the actors now. made to move, or dance.
or sing. to squirm, or to suffer for the
delectation Of pit and gallery.
On the left a group of young men with

Notebooks protruded out of greatcoat

ellis snuggled close to hand. Lucky the
lightning artist who could sketch for the
benefit Of his journalistic patrons a rough
outline Of the gentleman with more than
one foot in the dock. Close by couple
of boys in blue uniform. with wallet at
the side and smart pill-box cap on the
head, stood ready to take messages. frac-
tons of news, hurried reports to less
favored mortals, whose duty or desire
kept them away from this scene of poign-
ant interest.
Louisa saw them all, as in q vivid
dream. Never afterward could she be-
lieve that it had all been reality-the coro-
ner, the jury, the group of journalists.
the idle. whispering. pushing crowd, the
loud murmurs which now and again
reached her ear:

and intolerable pain. The face which usu-
ally was SO calm ard placid in its impas-
sive mask OF high-bred indifference was
almost distorted by an expression of
agony which obviously had been quite
beyond control.
The whole thing was, of course, mere
flash, less than quarter Of a second.
perhaps. in duration, and already Luke
was just as he had always been-a cor
rect, well born English gentleman, per-
feet in manner, perfect in attitude and
bearing, under whatever circumstances
fate might choose to place him.
Mr.. Dobson spoke to him, and he at
once followed his friend and solicitor
across the body of the courtroom to the
row of reserved chairs in front Of the
crowd.
A whisper went round the room, and
Louisa, with cool Indifference, turned to
greet those among the crowd whom she
had recognized as acquaintance and
friends Some were sitting, others stand
ing back against the walls In the rear.
Lady Ducies was there, excited and over
dressed. with a large hat that INSTRUCTED
the view Of q MISUNDERSTANDING woman
who sat Immediately behind her. and who
seemed quite prepared to do battle against
the obstruction.
Farther on sat the Countess of Flint
shire, novelist and playwright, eager and
between her brows, denoting thought and
concentration Of purpose. She bowed
gravely to Louisa, and cOntrNed to at
tract Luke's attention, so that he turned
toward her. and she was able to note
carefully in indelible pencil in tiny note
book that q murderer about to meet his
just fate may bestow an infinity Of care
on the niceties OF his own toilet.
(N.B.-The next play written by the
Countess OF Flintshire. better known to
the playgoing public as Maria Annunz-
ata had an assassin for its principal hero.
But the play found no favor with actor
managers. and though it subsequently en-
ioyed some popularity in the provinces, 1t
was never performed on the London
stage.)
Louisa looked on all these people with
eyes that dwelt with strange persistency
on trivial details-the Countess OF Flint
shire's notebook. Lady Ducies' hat. the
masculine attire of the militant suffra-
gette In the rear-all these minor details
impressed themselves upon her memory.

had been Philip de Mountford's solicitor
when he had first desired an interview
with Lord Radcliffe. Louisa knew him
by sight-Luke had on one occasion point
ed him out to her.
Luke and Mr.. Dobson were even now
making their way to the same group OF
seats. They had-like the jury and the
coroner-been in the mortuary to have a
last look at the murdered man. Louisa
thought that Luke looked years older
than he had done yesterday. She saw
him standing for moment right against
the dull, drabby background of the court
room WALL and it seemed as il something
of that drabbiness had descended upon his
soul. Youth seemed to have gone out OF
him. He appeared to be looking out on to

funny. she thought, SO irresponsible. these
people who had come to cape at Luke.
Now they were silent and orderly at the
bidding OF authority. An old woman,
with black bonnet and rusty jacket. was
munching sandwiches in corner seat; q
young man at the farther END OF the room
was sharpening a lead pencil.
BY the door through which BRIEF while
ago coroner and jury, also Luke and Mr..
Dobson had fled Out-the door Which ap-
parently gave In the direction of the NOR
tuary-a small group in shabby clothes
had lust entered the courtroom. escorted
by one Of the ushers.. The latter made
his way to the coroner's table and whis-
pered to that gentleman somewhat AMI
matedly. Louisa could not catch what he
said, but she saw that the coroner sud-
denly lost his morose air of habitual en-
nui and appeared keen and greatly in
terested in what he heard.
He gave certain instructions to the
USHER. who beckoned to the group in the
shabby clothes. They advanced with
tir,4.d, anxious gait, world OF unspoken
apologies I'm their eyes as they surveyed
the brilliant company through which they
had to pass. The feathers on Lady Du-
cies' hat attracted the attention OF one Of
them-a young girl with round. black eyes
and highly decorated headgear. She
nudged her companion and pointed to the
gargantuan hat. and both the girls gig
gled almost hysterically.
The man In front led the way. He was
pale and cadaverous looking. with scarty
