1t was said of Charlotte Farnham
that she was sensible beyond her
years, and withal strong and straight
forward in honesty of purpose. None
the less. she was a woman And when
she saw what was before her, con-
science turned traitor and fed away

She got upon her feet, steadying her
self by the back of her shair. She felt
that she could not trust herself If she

he was a desperate man, and there

struggle was over they would bring
him to her and she would have to
stand forth as his accuser.

to President Galbraith, giving such a
description of the deck-hand as would
