But Deborah had no mind to let
these pieces escape her eye. Nor did
she fail At the end of fifteen min
utes she had the torn bits of paper
arranged in their proper position and
was reading these words:
The scene of Olive der's crime.
THE beginning of the end!" was
Deborah's thought eff, after Mr..
Blacks efforts, a charge like this is
found posted up in the public ways,
the ruin of the Ostranders is deter
mined upon, and nothing we can do
can stop it."
In five minutes more she had said
good-by to Miss Weeks and was on
her way to the courthouse. AS she
approached it she was still further
alarmed by finding this square full of
people, standing in groups or walk
ing impatiently up and down with
their eyes fixed on the courthouse
doors. Within, there was the uneasy
hum, the anxious look, the subdued
movement which marks an universal
suspense. Announcement had been
made that the jury had reached their
verdict, and counsel were resuming
their places and the judge his seat.
Those who had eyes only for the
latter-and these were many-noticed
a change in him. He looked older by
years than when he delivered his
charge. Not the prisoner himself
gave greater evidence of the effect
which this hour of waiting had had
upon a heart whose covered griefs
were, consciously or unconsciousIy, re-
vealing themselves to the public eye.
He did not wish this man sentenced.
This was shown by his charge-the
most one-sided one he had given in
all his career.
