blind to my surroundings and to this

was the light of a saloon just opening
up. There was hope, heat, a place to

BY Her cheeks almost ashen her hand had stolen
involuntariy her side. She smiled at some friends
who passed by but there something ghastly about
the parting of her lips. She felt that that little picture
in Bond street this sunny afternoon was, notwth-
standing its torture indeble 1t before her all the
time; it would be before her always.
She pulled the check string presently and ordered her
chauffeur to drive to Harley street Sir James Bond
man was in the act of stepping into his brougham when
he saw her alight. He hastened to greet her.
"You spare few minutes professionally
she inquired

he replied reopening the door through which he had
just "My work for the day is over To tell you
the truth, fit OF 1dlenesS upon me, and

He led the way into his sanctum, comfortable if
somewhat gloomy apartment, and wheeled up easy
chair for his visitor. Then he seated himself before his
desk and watched her for moment through haclosed
eyes,

up his stethoscope

with burning eyes. Nevertheless, | am ILL., !"
He examined her thoroughly. She endured every
thing without either impatience anxiety. When he
had finished and the maid whom he had summoned to
assist her with her toilet had disappeared she turned
toward him fevershy.
"Well?"
"There is nothing whatever the matter with you he
told her.
"You that am sound everywhere"

told what l wanted to know"
He led her toward the door. On the way he slipped
his through hers Lucille he said "do you want
real, old-fashioned practitioners advce-per-
fectly sound, mind, perfectly sound, and your

@Of course do" she assured him.
"How long have you been marred?' he asked
"Nearly seven months, she replied. @Why?"
He whispered for moment in her She stopped
short The color burned her cheeks and then streaed
slowly away She faltered The physician watched her
gravely.

threw open the door. @You make profession pros

"Do!' she begged. Il haven't tasted medicine for
years. Goodby, and thanks much"
She smiled at him from the of her landau1et,
and was whirled away. Sir James, who was method
ca man. returned to his study, took out his tablets and
wrote on the space devoted to the following day:

Jermyn rose suddenly to his feet Her answer had
completed his humiliation. @Sybil!' he exclaimed
hoarsely "Sybil!"
Looking up into his face, she saw the change. Her
knees began to trembe. She rose slowly. Her eyes
were still fixed upon his; but she said nothing He
caught her suddenly by the wrists

He stood and looked at her-realizing He felt sud
denly humbled and yet enriched. 1t the worlds
greatest gift that she offering to him, the love that
comes without bargaining, without the artificial smu
lus of passion the love that only conceive
in its highest form. Jermyn felt in those moments
deep humility The slight conceit engendered by the
esthetic and purposeful excusiveness of his life
longer served him any useful purpose. From the lips
of this little actress, whose birth middle class and
whose education had been scanty, who had been adrft
upon the world at the age when girls go finishing
schools, ne received the lesson of his life.
Il am not worthy, Sybil dear-no could be
worthy" he murmured.
THE conventions that-it must be admitted, chiefly
for her sake-Jermyn had hitherto made
effort to observe with regard to his association with
Sybil, he from that moment ignored. They had to-

TERMYN leaned back in his chair and listened. Some
. times he listened sometimes he watched Sybil. She
at all times too entirely natural to be IN the least
embarrassed by his presence and she devoted herself
to her task with devotion that, considering that it
was entirely labor of love, much impressed him.
Later on, when they were alone, he remarked upon
it. She laughed she sank to footstool at his
feet.

He hestated. The last few minutes had been full of
reflections, inspired by the delicate atmosphere that
Sybl seemed always TO create around her The simple
flowers and adornments of her room, her unselfsh

sweet pleasure that hone out of her eyes at his coming

The Government having rested in the Wat
son case there is much curiosity as to what
the defense will do. The defense has already
intimated that the defendant himself will be
the only witness, even if he testifies. 1t is the
practice in the United States Court for the
defendant to be sworn when put on the stand,
which is different from the Georgia practice.
One hour for each side in conclusion has
been tentatively decided on by Judge Lamb
din, although it is expected that the court
will increase the time to two hours or two
hours and half for each side, if he is so
requested.
In the Georgia courts, if the defendant does
not put any witnesses on the stand, his attor-
ney has the conclusion. In the United States
Court the Government has the opening and
conclusion, regardless of whether the defend
ant puts any witnesses or not. 1t is expected
that Assistant District Attorney Wallace Mil
Ter will open for the Government and District
Attorney Donaldson will close. Mr.. Watson
may or may not be the only speaker for his
side.
1t is believed that arguments will begin
Monday morning and be concluded by Mon
day afternoon or evening. The jury should
have the case Monday night.
