The country people who had jour neyed to the metropolis to do what little they could for the widows son took Mrs Montgomery back with them. What little brightness of hope had been within her during the trial of her boy vanished with his convic- ton.
 She had tried the day after the trial to reach the judge and appeal to him for mercy and a light sentence, but the importunings of widows, wives and children are avoided by the judiciary as much as possible. The legal repre- sentative of great banking institu- ton or some mighty estate or corpora tion has the open sesame to the cham bers Of the men wearing the ermine. but there is not such a great number of these and the poor are mighty multitude.
 At every turn the mother of James Montgomery met with an obstacle. She had no Big Mike" This or Little Mike" That. with political power enough Co make a judge tremble, back of her. She had no money with which to aliay the itching of the palms of petty grafters who would sell the right eous for silver and the poor for pair of shoes. as they have been doing since Isaiah's time.
 At last she turned away and suf- fered herself to be taken back 10 the little cottage out in the country. A month before she had been a sprightly old lady. quick of step, delighted with every household task. and always find ing her reward in the pride that mother takes in a good son. But in the city she had found the waters of Afarah and the city's system had forced her down, down down to drink of them.

 She made him comfortable in his old chair by the window. He was engag- ed in balancing himself at his favorite angle when he noticed something black on the end of the kitchen table.

 He reached over and picked it up. It was a filmy and torn veil. Beneath 1t was a little black fan.

 She hurried with them to her bed. room, which opened on the kitchen. When she returned and began shaking down the ashes ln the stove she sighed.
 "It's terrible, Mike" she said. ''The poor old mither is left out in the world to starve or die Of a broken heart. Blessed Mother in Heaven, look after her"
 Some of the coziness of the room seemed to leave it Was there chill in the air. or did he just imagine it? He closed the window back of him.
 'The evidence was all one way" be grunted. "I didn't try him. l wasn't the judge or the jury. l didn't decide whether he was guilty or Innocent. That ain't my job. My job is to get the evidence for the prosecution"
 He tried to think of something to say that would turn the conversation to some more agreeable subject, but he was a one idea man, and there was no | fancy in him.
 From the open door of his mothers bedroom came a soft. rufiing sound. It startled him.
