1t was a straight story, and ap-
parently damaging for the prose-
cution. 1t corroborated the attes-
tations of other witnesses-many
others. 1t had a plausible ring to
1t. Two bills of sale radiated at
mospheric legality. II there had
been dirty work, it must have
originated with that renegade half
breed, Yellow Wolf. And Yellow
Wolf was dead. He had died
while serving a term in the peni.
Tertiary for cattle rustling.
The finality of II seemed to set
its stamp upon the people gather
ed there-upon the twelve good
men and true, as we'll as upon 9TH
ers. Yellow Wolf was dead.
George Williston was dead. Their
secrets had died with them. An
inscrutable fate had lowered the
veil.
1--WE will call Charlie Night
Bird" said Small, complacently.
There was little waiting ST.
lence-a breathless, palpitating
silence.
rs Charlie Nightbird presents"
asked Small, casting rather anx-
ious eyes over the packed; intent
faces. Charlie Nightbird was not
present.
There was some mistake. Coun-
sci had been misinformed. Night
bird had been reported present.
Never mind. He was probably un-
avoidably detained by the storm.
They would call Jesse Big Cloud
and others to corroborate the de-
PENDANTS statements-which they
did, and the story was sustained
in all its parts, major and minor.
Then the defense rested.
Richard Gordon arose from his
chair. His lean jaws were set. His
eyes were steel. His voice was
clear and deliberate.
Your honor, | ask permission
OF the court to call a witness In
direct testimony. I assure your
honor that the state had used all
efforts in its power to obtain the
presence of this witness before
resting its case, but had failed
and believed at the time that he
could not be produced. The wit
ness is now here and I consider
his testimony of the utmost i'm
portance in this case" 9Ias
Counsel for the defendant OBJ
jected strenuously, but the court
granted the petition. He wanted
to hear everything that might
throw some light on the dark
places in the evidence. 90 -
II call Mr.. George Williston.'
said Gordon.
Had the strain crazed him
Louise covered her eyes with her
hands. Men sat as il dazed. And
thus, the cynosure of al eyes
stupefied eyes-Williston of the
ravaged Lazy s, thin and worn but
calm, natural and scholarly-look-
ing as of old-walked from the
little ante-room at the side into
the light and knowledge of men
once more and raised his hand for
the oath. Not until this was taken
and he had sat quietly down in
the witness chair did the tension
snap. Even then men found il
difficult to focus their attention
on the enormous difference this

new witness must make In the
case that a few moments before
had seemed settled.
Small's face was ludicrous In its
drop-jawed establishment. The lit
tie lawyers face was study. A
look of defiance had crept into the
defendants countenance.
The preliminary questions were
asked and answered.
"Mr. Williston, you may state
where you were and what you
saw on the fourteenth day of July
last.
Williston told the story of his
visit to the island, and he told it
we'll. 1t was enough. Gordon
asked no further questions re-
garding that event.
"And now, Mr.. Williston, you
may tell what happened to you on
the night of the thirtieth of last
August"
Williston began to tell the story
of the night attack upon the Lazy
S, when the galvanic Small jump
ed to his feet. The little lawyer
touched him with q light hand.
Your honor" he said, smooth
ly, Il object to that as incompe-
tent irrelevant and immaterial,
and not binding on the defend
ant"
Your honor" interrupted Cor
don, with great calmness, 1--WE in
tend to show you before We get
through that this testimony is
competent, and that it is binding
upon the defendant"
WAS the defendant there?"
1.-The defendant was there"
The objection was overruled.
So Williston told briefly but to
the point the story of the night
attack upon his home, of the de-
Tense by himself and his daugh-
ter, and of the burning of his
house and sheds. Then he pro-
ceeded:
Suddenly some one caught me
from behind, my arms were pin
toned to my sides, something was
clapped over my mouth. I was
flung over a horse and strapped
to the saddle all in less time than
it takes me to tell it, and was
borne away in company with the
man who had overpowered me. "
who was this man, Mr.. Willis
TONI" asked Gordon.
Jesse Black"
Small was on his feet again,
gesticulating wildly. The little
lawyer bowed his head to the
storm and shrugged up his should
ers.
Gentlemen! Gentlemen" ex-
postulated Judge Dale. This is
all out of order" Only one gen.
tleman was out of order, but that
was the judges way. Gordon had
remained provokingly cool under
the TRADE.
Again the soft touch. Small
fell into his chair.

yer, that all this touching upon

private quarrels be stricken out

All in vain. The Judge ruled
that it did bear on the case. and

his story.
