With the inherent inquisitiveness of
ali human beings the audience made
mental calculations of May Strickland's
age. Still young to pass through such
an ordeal b majority thought.
Where did you meet Mr.. Trask?"
"At Lakewood"
Now. Mrs. Strickland went on Ar.

Mr.. Trask at that time"
He was very attentive to me and
took me about a good deal. About ten
days after | met him | returned to the
city. and he came back too. He kept
sending me things and taking me out
Then n day he asked me to marry
him."
The tone was low The words came
with an effort. The woman's head was
bowed. and the judge had to admonish
her to speak more clearly.
When was that?' Arbuckle asked.
I'm April, 1900, | asked him to wait.
He said he would wait as long as |
wanted him to. But every time he
saw me he spoke to me about it. tell
ing me how much he loved me and
how much | meant to him. He seemed
so earnest and sincere that / believed
everything he said. AT last I yielded
and consented to marry him.
When was that?" aid ArbuckIe.
"On the 18th OF May. He said h
wanted to be married next day. But
he said that on account OF his family
he couldn't let it be known for awhile.
so we'd ave to be married secretly.
Next day he called for me in his auto
mobile and said we were going to a
hotel in Great Neck. l.. l.. to meet a
clergyman with whom he had made ar
engagements. We got to Great Neck at
about Z o'clock that evening"
Despite the admonition of Judge Dins-
more, her voice had gradually become
lower and lower again. Now it falter-
ed and broke. Her emotions overcame
her, There was "a pause in which not
a sOdnd OF any sort disturbed the still
ness of he courtroom. May Strick-
lands head was bent in shame. She
felt the eyes of the assemblage fixed
upon her. Inc she could not raise her
W eyes.
Why was she barring to the entire
world this old chapter in her life?
What had brought her to such a pass?
Nothing else but love for her husband
that husband who had never before
heard this tale 1t was to save Robert
that she told.
He heard it now, sitting as a pris-
oner of the law, IN trial for his life. 1t
entranced him. and he made no move
or sound.
Arbuckle had to prompt Mrs. Strick-
land before she could go on.
"YesT' he said gently.
Her words came low. but distinct.
Next morning we were to have
breakfast in our rooms" she said.
